Description:
Former Pentagon official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson breaks down the escalating US–Israel war on Iran — and why it could spiral into a global catastrophe.
In this explosive interview, Wilkerson analyzes the assassination of key Iranian leaders, the fractures within the Trump-era political coalition, and the growing divide inside the MAGA movement over endless wars.
He also explains how military Keynesianism is failing, with rising inflation, economic strain, and massive spending on defense systems struggling against low-cost Iranian drone warfare.
Most alarmingly, Wilkerson warns about the real possibility of nuclear weapons being used, raising urgent questions about whether the US can restrain Israel under mounting pressure.
