Iran's Leaders Know Trump Is Desperate (w/ Kenneth Pollack) | Shield of the Republic

When Donald trump visited the think tank, he asked “where is the tank?”

So let’s talk tactics?Does it ever occur to these people. “What gives the US the right to meddle in affairs of other people?” Can you imagine if another country travelled half way around the world and murdered people in your country including your government leaders? Seriously is that just taken for granted that you have the right because? Or is that just beyond theses Neo cons

Going against every instinct in the book, it’s hard not to root for Iran here.

I always come here for arrogance, and I've never been disappointed!

Is there some reason that 15 minutes into this presentation there has been no mention of the state of Israel? Seems like a massive blind spot.

Why is the statement ‘the Saudis are going to have to learn to share the Middle East with the Iranians’ so unbelievable? What other choices do neighboring countries have, other than endless war?

Huh. *I* was taught that "putting yourself in someone else's shoes" was trying your best to NOT bring your personal experiences and prejudices, but to see with theirs. No wonder "empathy" is a dirty word to some people.

Clearly, it was a bad idea badly executed. Why did Pollack equivocate about the obvious?

27:41 conflict since 1979 sounds an awful lot like a quagmire to me

This war was a BAD idea. Period. No amt of execution could have improved an outcome that was doomed from day one! TRUTH.
