CrossTalk Bullhorns: Weaponized economy
As the US-Israel war on Iran continues unabated, it is important to ask which side has escalation dominance. Also, the world has changed. Before the US could weaponize the global economy, now it finds the global economy weaponized against it. CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda and George Szamuely.
Boxed in
The US-Israeli war against Iran is not going to plan. Donald Trump is now a prisoner to a policy of his own making. There will not be forced regime change. The forced opening of the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely. Meanwhile, the global economy is tanking. CrossTalking with Ramzy Baroud, Sharmine Narwani, and Zachary Foster.
Coalition of unwilling
The US-Israel war on Iran is simply unpopular. In fact, the only country that supports it is Israel. What was supposed to be a walk in the park is now a protracted and dangerous conflict with global implications. And time is on Iran’s side.
CrossTalking with David Swanson, Michael Maloof, and Ali Rizk.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Hard limits
The US-Israel war of aggression on Iran is showing the hard limits of the American empire. It’s called imperial overreach. How does this impact the American war effort and how is Iran responding? After all, Iran wins by not losing. CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
CrossTalk Interview: ‘Epic Mistake’
As the days pass, the US-Israel military campaign against Iran is resembling more of an ‘Epic Mistake’ rather than ‘Epic Fury’. Indeed, the regional and geopolitical implications are becoming apparent. The US and Israel are not winning, as Iran remains steadfast. CrossTalking with Alastair Crooke.
Going off the rails
There is no indication that the US-Israel war of aggression on Iran will end any time soon, though Donald Trump tells us otherwise. With a new popular leader, Iran is steadfast. That cannot be said of regional stability, long-standing alliances, and the global economy. CrossTalking with Ali Alizadeh, Elijah J. Magnier, and Sarah Leah Whitson.
