Larry C. Johnson & Col. Larry Wilkerson: Russia + Iran + China: War Shield That Changes the World
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Experts analyze escalating Middle East tensions as US military buildup against Iran faces serious limitations: F-35s lack range to strike Tehran from safe distances, carrier groups vulnerable to Iranian missiles and drones. Despite Trump's talk of negotiations, Netanyahu pressures for military action—with alarming risk of nuclear escalation. Iran possesses extensive missile capabilities and underground facilities Western intelligence likely underestimates, as evidenced by significant damage during the 12-day conflict with Israel. Meanwhile, Russia has abandoned hopes for US negotiations in Ukraine, accelerating military operations after failed diplomacy. Europe faces fragmentation as Germany struggles to chart an independent course amid NATO's decline. Analysis suggests US foreign policy remains driven by entrenched interests rather than presidential direction, pushing toward conflicts the military isn't positioned to win—echoing historical miscalculations like Bull Run.
