The Panicans Were Right About Iran, with Scott Horton | Tom Woods Show #2800

Show by Tom Woods
Scott Horton updates us on Iran, Gaza, and Ukraine. On Iran: a stalemate, not a ceasefire. The U.S. and Iran are running dueling blockades in the Gulf, oil is still moving by land, and neither side can force a decision. Trump has no path to victory but keeps doubling down after betting on Netanyahu's promise of a quick win. On Gaza: completely obliterated and now visible on Google Earth. Israel has taken at least half the Strip behind the so-called yellow line, the Trump/Kushner Riviera plan means removal, and the strategy is to destroy every home, hospital, and school so there's nothing to return to. Smotrich now threatens the same for the West Bank. On Ukraine: 4.5 years in, Russia is winning very slowly in a war of attrition. The 2022 deal was killed by the U.S./Brits, Milley wanted talks while Blinken wanted war, and Europe is now paying to keep U.S. weapons flowing. A possible compromise: Ukraine leaves the rest of Donetsk, Russia freezes in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Scott Horton directs the Libertarian Institute and is author of Enough Already, Provoked, and Fool's Errand.
