Episode notes
Trump's Coalition Under Threat
- Trump’s coalition unites diverse Americans around anti-empire ideas: end endless wars, seal borders, and revive manufacturing.
- The Iran war threatens to destroy this coalition and distract from mass deportation efforts, risking internal conflict.
Repeating Iraq War Mistakes
- The Iraq war failed due to lies and lack of public support, and current Iran war risk repeats this pattern.
- Intelligence on Iran’s nuclear program is inconsistent, demanding transparent vetting to prevent manipulation into war.
Active Third World War Risk
- The U.S. is already engaged in a bloodier, active third world war with Ukraine and Gaza, unlike the early WWII phase.
- Trump seeks peace talks; deep state actors fuel conflict, risking total combat involvement.
