Description

Jimmy and his guest, former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, discuss Marco Rubio's claim that "only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at," which Ritter calls "stupid" and "ignorant of the facts," noting that the United States started the war with a surprise attack on Iran, that the blockade is itself an act of war, and that Iran is not stupid for firing on US ships that are "committing acts of aggression" and behaving as "literal pirates." Ritter argues that Trump is having "conversations with himself" about Iran agreeing to a nuclear ban, and that "the people who lose the war don't normally dictate the conditions of conflict termination"—but that the US economy is about to collapse, with gas prices reaching $6.45 per gallon in the South Bronx and Lufthansa canceling 20,000 flights due to lack of jet fuel. He further notes that Saudi Arabia temporarily blocked US access to its bases for "Project Freedom" because Trump announced the operation without coordinating first, calling this a "temporary hiccup" rather than a refusal. Ritter concludes that the Navy is obeying orders and firefights are ongoing, but that "the economy, stupid" will ultimately force Trump to accept a deal, which he will then spin as a victory.

Just another war America is fighting for their masters with the little hats who have bribed just about 95% of Congress. This is utterly disgusting.

Iran isn't a stupid country, that's why they fired back when attacked by Israel and USA.

Unfortunately Iran doesn't watch FOX news so they don't know they are losing.
