S5 E15 - End It, Trump. Take the Fight to Iran

from The Tenth Man Podcast · host Kevin Travis

Send us Fan MailHow to End the War With Iran: Stop Managing, Start Winning | The Tenth ManKevin Travis argues the U.S. is not losing a war with Iran but “managing” it while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commits piracy and war crimes by seizing commercial vessels in international waters. He says defensive measures like arming merchant ships may deter boardings but won’t end the conflict, and criticizes relying on large modern destroyers unsuited for shallow-water patrols. Travis calls for an offensive posture: deploy shallow-draft patrol craft with helicopter support to hunt IRGC speedboats and strike the fixed shore bases, docks, fuel depots, and command structure that enable the seizures, citing historical precedents from the Barbary Wars to Vietnam and special operations raids. He then proposes a “surprise twist” solution: drop crates of rifles into Iran to give protesters the means to resist the regime, framing the core problem as a lack of will rather than capability.00:00 War Ends Tomorrow00:34 Managing Not Winning02:51 Piracy Is War Crime04:25 Defense Is Not Strategy06:07 Destroyers Lost Purpose08:01 Hunters In Shallow Waters10:39 Take Fight To Shore13:53 Are Iranians The Enemy16:22 Arm The People Twist19:40 Willpower And Wrap Up#SecondAmendment  #AmericanExceptionalism #IranConflictCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
