Larry Johnson & Col. Wilkerson: Fighter Jet SHOT DOWN — Iran War SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL

•

This interview analyzes the escalating Middle East conflict, arguing the war lacks clear strategic goals and is driven more by destruction than achievable outcomes. It highlights how recent U.S. statements effectively push global actors toward negotiating with Iran, especially over control of the Strait of Hormuz. The discussion explores shifting alliances, Europe’s partial break from U.S. policy, and the growing role of regional diplomacy led by countries like Oman and Pakistan. It also raises concerns about misinformation, internal divisions, and alleged covert operations. A key takeaway is that continued conflict may accelerate nuclear proliferation, with Iran likely pursuing deterrence, potentially reshaping global power dynamics.
