Trump To RESTART Iran War In 48 Hours?!? w/ Col. Macgregor

from The Jimmy Dore Show

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins the show to tell Jimmy that a new phase of the Iran war is "definitely going to happen" within days, as Iran has "instructed everybody to go below ground and hide out" and the US is bombing empty buildings — to which Iran would respond asymmetrically by destroying Gulf States' power grids and desalination plants, causing mass migration and a global depression.  He notes that after Trump's "Project Freedom" failed when Iran attacked a French-owned cargo ship attempting the US-designated route, Trump suspended the operation and is now threatening a "much higher level and intensity" of bombing if Iran doesn't agree to terms. Meanwhile, Jimmy points out that Marco Rubio's statement that the goal is to get the strait "back to the way it was" means the US had to start a war so we could go back to the way things were before we started the war. Macgregor argues that Trump's advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth because "he blows up" and "doesn't like facts that get in the way of his preferences," and that the Navy has already been forced to retreat 300-400 miles offshore because Iran's hypersonic missiles make close-in naval power impossible. He concludes that even if a deal is signed, US credibility is destroyed and "we're not going to recover from this very quickly," with a recession already underway that could turn into a decade-long depression if bombing resumes. Plus segments on mass layoffs at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, Putin making a major move to crush the Petrodollar and Marco Rubio begging the Chinese to save the global economy. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Neil Oliver!
