Foreign policy expert Adam Ali joined me to break down Trump's Iran War miscalculations: the sycophantic planning circle, the failure to build a coalition, and the ignorance of how Iran would respond.
Thank you for writing this. It’s enormously helpful information to me. If you’ll tolerate my cliché, it broadens my grasp of the history and idealogy of the situation. This tiny circle of U.S. war criminals may have their faces on millions of Middle Eastern “Most Wanted” lists by now, held in the minds individually of millions of people in the Middle East who have lost loved ones. Or even kept in mind by expatriated people, from the Middle East, living freely in other countries somewhere else. Every time they drop a bomb and take an irreplaceable life, the lists must grow of people who hate not just the Israelis but now Americans. We have to get Congress to remove these people from dehumanizing and killing the rest of humanity. I’ll write Congress AGAIN. Wrangling over the SAVE Act is just another diversion to control Congress.
Yeah i didn’t argue that Trump has done good in the Middle East. I was saying that Trump has been helping Saudi Arabia’s project of making the Arab nations more capitalistic. The entire episode is a criticism of Trump’s failures in this war and the region
I think we could end the war and make Iran happy if we just deliver POTUS to the new leader. Boom! They could have their revenge however they see fit...
How can anyone expect an attacked country not to react? That's simply unconceivable.
Mississippi here.

Ok. I don't disagree on everything but any good that trump has done in the Middle East, I disagree.

I don't agree with trump on anything or this episode
AIPAC and Israel lobbyists are definitely enablers of Netanyahu, so I don't agree with you. But for enablers none of this would be happening.
I'm surprised that Qutar, Saudi Arabia et al don't tell him NO, get the hell out of our region!
He tore up the deal Obama did because Obama did it! No other reason!
tRUMP has insulted all of our allies then wants their help??? He's NUTS! I hope they do NOT help at all.
