Dr. Wolff, I hope you repeat that to everyone "USA gives money to Israel, Isreal funds AIPAC, AIPAC buys the politicians" It is a corrupt circle.

What Wolff is describing here is exactly what the rest of the world has been whispering for years: the U.S. didn’t just lose a military confrontation with Iran — it lost the illusion of uncontested power. Iran didn’t defeat the U.S. with tanks or planes; it defeated the idea that Washington can dictate outcomes anywhere it chooses. And that’s why this moment feels so historic. Countries across the Global South are watching a superpower discover its limits in real time. Meanwhile, inside the U.S., most people still think “empire” is something we read about in textbooks. Abroad, they see an overstretched system struggling to manage wars, alliances, and economic shocks all at once. Whether you agree with Wolff or not, the bigger story is that the world is no longer afraid to say the quiet part out loud: American dominance isn’t collapsing in a single moment — it’s eroding piece by piece, and Iran was simply the first to expose the cracks.
