War Expert WARNS: "It's Coming Home"

About this video

A war advisor who has briefed every White House since 9/11 says the collision of the Iran war with the upcoming midterm elections is starting to look like the 1960s. Professor Robert Pape explains that his nightmare scenario has arrived: an international crisis happening at the same time as a domestic political crisis. He opens with the question Steven asks: what is it about invading a country versus bombing it that triggers suicide terrorism? Pape explains that in 25 years of studying suicide attacks, the single biggest risk factor is not killing people from the air. It is ground forces imposing political control. When America toppled the Taliban with air power, there were almost no suicide attacks. The suicide terrorism started years later when ground forces poured into Afghanistan to control territory. The trigger is not violence. It is the loss of control over your way of life. He then addresses Trump's Truth Social post from hours before the recording: "Every time Iran kills an American soldier, they will pay for that killing many times over." Steven asks: is there an achievable off-ramp that restores free shipping through Hormuz without a strategic defeat? Pape's answer is direct: "No. That ship sailed."
