Is Peace Within Reach? Tony Shaffer on Ukraine, Iran and Israel

November 12, 2026

The U.S., Ukraine and Russia are meeting in Abu Dhabi for their first three-way talks in about nine months. National security analyst Tony Shaffer joins Bill Spadea to talk about what to expect, whether Ukraine is being pressed to give up territory, and whether nearly $196 billion in U.S. spending on the conflict has been worth it. They also cover the war with Iran, which began in February, the stalled Gaza peace plan, the fighting in Lebanon, and what a Democratic Congress could change.
