🇺🇸🇮🇷 The regional order just collapsed, and half the media hasn't noticed yet. Historian and Middle East analyst Scott Horton says depending on your media silo, you might have no idea how much just changed. The security architecture that organized the Gulf for decades has cracked, and what replaces...

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump’s real problem isn’t finding an off-ramp; it’s finding one that doesn’t look like he lost the Iran war He could end it tomorrow, but what happens the morning after, when Trump has to explain why Iran is still standing, Tehran effectively controls the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S military failed to impose Washington's will? Scott Horton believes Trump has already had multiple opportunities to declare victory and walk away, but every time, Washington found another reason it couldn't leave. Every additional objective made the eventual exit harder, because now the consequences of the war are much bigger than Iran's nuclear facilities. And Scott argues decades of U.S policy intended to weaken Tehran have repeatedly achieved the opposite. George W. Bush destroyed Saddam Hussein, Iran's greatest regional enemy, and Iraq subsequently moved deeper into Tehran's orbit, and the Houthis emerged as a formidable regional force. Now Trump has done something Scott thinks may be even more damaging: He tested the assumption of overwhelming U.S military power against Iran and exposed its limits. And that's why walking away becomes so politically difficult. Leaving doesn't just mean ending a war; it means acknowledging that the old order isn't coming back. And the longer Trump fights to avoid being remembered as the president who lost the Iran war, the greater the risk he becomes the president remembered for something much worse. Scott Horton

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America has already lost the Iran war, and the only question left is whether Trump can find a way to call it a victory without anyone noticing. Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute and one of the most consistent antiwar voices in America, has been predicting exactly this outcome for years, and his analysis is surgical: Just as Bush, Obama, and Trump refused to admit defeat in Afghanistan for two decades and left Biden holding the bag, Trump is now trapped in the same problematic political logic. Admitting the loss makes it "his fault," while denying it prolongs the catastrophe. "The credibility question is the last refuge of a scoundrel, and that's all they've got left..." On the burgeoning Turkey-Saudi-Pakistan pact: Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and whether that alliance is warning Yemen, Israel, Iran, or America, nobody outside that room really knows. On whether a more devastating military campaign is theoretically possible: only if Trump is willing to lose thousands of men and aircraft, get B-52s over Tehran, and accept mass casualties, but Horton feels he has neither the political capital nor the will to do it. The Ron Paul answer, which Horton has argued for decades: just quit, admit the loss, and come home... hell, approval ratings would probably go up. No amount of think tank strategists can "fix" this before the inevitable exit. "There is no such thing as that. Just call all this off." Thanks for coming on, Scott Horton
