S05E11 – Trump’s Holy (Shit) War in the Middle East

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, Tom, Josh, and Ryan discuss the war in Iran that the US has entered with Israel. We discuss the justification for the war, how it seems to be going, and, most importantly, what we think the likely outcome will be. There is a lot of agreement. We all agree that Khameini was a horrible dictator. We all agree that the timing is off. We all agree that the likely outcome will be a failed state governed by anarchy and probably warlords. We don’t agree on whether it was the right thing: Josh and Tom lean in favor of that, while Ryan leans against it.
