https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/057fcc6d-bbdf-4383-accc-2fa972ea750d Trump says he’s won the war on Iran, but not won it enough. Also, it’s not actually a war– it’s an excursion to prevent a war. One minute he needs European support, the next the US is too powerful to need anyone. It’s confusing. And in the midst of war, confusing is concerning. On top of that, his counterterrorism director Joe Kent has resigned. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” The letter itself sent shockwaves across US media. The President himself dismissed it. Does it make any difference? In this episode of MEE Live, we explore what’s really going on in the Trump administration and how Americans feel about it with former ambassador Carla Sands, former State Department official Josh Paul and activist Rachel Cohen.
