Description

In this interview segment, former weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter tells Jimmy that Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz represents an unprecedented move this early in a conflict, and combined with Iran's threat to destroy all regional pipelines, will effectively halt all Middle Eastern oil exports. He argues the U.S. lacks sufficient military forces to reopen the strait, while Gulf Arab states like Saudi Arabia are powerless paper tigers unable to confront Iran, having failed even against Yemen's Houthis. Ritter dismisses the theory that the U.S. benefits by forcing Europe into energy dependence, explaining Europe cannot afford American liquid natural gas and will likely turn to Russia via the intact Nordstream pipeline instead. He warns the resulting economic chaos will devastate average Americans through 401k losses and market collapse, even as financial elites profit from instability.

Our tax dollars don’t go to schools, roads, infrastructure, medical care, or anything else benefiting Americans. But to a $2T “impenetrable missile dome” in |srea| that’s already failed. 😤
