Description

In this segment Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon’s claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government. Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran’s history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria.

I would rather go to jail before I ever go to the Middle east, as a soldier, to defend Isreal or another pointless war.
