Iran Update on BIDS

My latest livestream with Pete Turner on the Break It Down Show.

I had the pleasure of once again joining my friend Pete Turner on the Break It Down Show to discuss all things Iran and foreign affairs. We detailed the newest developments in the pursuit of a war-concluding deal, asking whether pushing for a negotiated settlement is either necessary or smart. We talked about what sort of end states should be acceptable for the US in this conflict and how breaking out of the WWII paradigm - a neat and tidy unconditional surrender - is necessary to succeed geopolitically in the 21st century. We also hit on the regional situation, Iran’s economic and military constraints, the 2020 Soleimani strike, and the domestic politics of the war in the US. All this and much, much more can be found in this one-hour foreign policy extravaganza.
