Episode Details

More and more world figures, leaders, commentators, are agreeing in public that the US seems to have lost the Iran war. And that includes oil company executives, horrified that Trump seems to have accepted Iran will remain in control of the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump is clearly not happy about it - he wants to end the war with the world believing he triumphed. And what seems to be panic at the opposite being the case, is seeing him lashing out anew at the allies he claims didn't help, new demands for those allies to send warships to open the Strait of Hormuz. Claims that the agreement never included Lebanon, even though there is evidence in writing that it did. It's all getting a bit messy. Let's discuss.
