Description

The man who advised Obama, Ron Paul, and four consecutive White Houses — Republican and Democrat — just went on record to say America's Iran strategy is failing, and the proof is in the data. University of Chicago professor Robert Pape, who spent 20 years modeling the bombing of Iran for the U.S. Air Force and literally turned down a $600K bribe from a Chinese billionaire to change his research, breaks down why bombing Fordo made Iran more dangerous — not less — and reveals that 20% of enriched uranium is now missing and unaccounted for. Pape exposes why economic blockades have never toppled a regime in 100 years of recorded history, draws a chilling parallel between Trump's Iran blockade and the 12-year Iraq sanctions that strengthened Saddam, and delivers a jaw-dropping first-hand account of China uplifting entire cities with AI while America argues tactics. ------ Ⓜ️ MINNECT WITH ROBERT PAPE: https://bit.ly/48Rwu8X 📚 ROBERT PAPE'S SUBSTACK: https://bit.ly/4wjkozn 📕 ROBERT PAPE’S BOOKS: https://bit.ly/42t5id4 🦁 THE VAULT 2026: AUG 31ST TO SEPT 1ST: https://bit.ly/4mZdLhD Ⓜ️ CONNECT ON MINNECT: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4kSVkso Ⓜ️ PBD PODCAST CIRCLES: https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP 🎙️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4g57zR2 🥃 BOARDROOM CIGAR LOUNGE: https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj 👔 BET-DAVID CONSULTING: https://bit.ly/4lzQph2 💬 TEXT US: Text “PODCAST” to 310-340-1132 to get the latest updates in real-time!

This guy pissed me off from the start. He couldn't let Pat even finish introducing him without having to start talking over him and "explaining" things when he wasn't even asked about it.

Think how well our country would be today if everyone was behind Trump instead of fighting him. Trump has dealt with more evil attacks than any other President and still has done very well.

I have not heard so much BS showing totally how much he "hates" Trump and adores Barack. It is interesting listening to him just to understand how confused they are and what not to follow of his recommendations. I congratulate PBD for controlling himself when many times he was just about to kill the narrative for being off-focus and full of academic rethoric. If he says he adviced many previous administrations and that they followed his suggestions, no wonder we have reached the danger from Iran. He talks about stragegies and tactics and he can only see some isolated tactics complaining that he doesn't understand strategy because no one has told him.

This is what an insulated life sounds like, avoids international conferences, like the plague
