[ad_1] With its military options exhausted and China, Russia and key regional powers refusing to isolate Tehran, Washington is flailing in a war it cannot win, says John Mearsheimer. By Joshua ScheerScheerPost Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has branded the Trump administration’s new campaign to strangle Iran “economic D-Day.” John Mearsheimer calls it what it really is: a desperate Hail Mary from an empire that has run out of military options.

[ad_1] “Economic war” sounds like a tidy solution until you look at what it actually does and what it rarely accomplishes. We sit down with Lt. Col.
