America, Iran and Israel: A Wider War? | Bigger Than Five

A dangerous game is unfolding as Israel, the US, and Iran stand at the brink of a potentially devastating regional war.
What are the key factors driving this recent escalation? How influential is the pro-Israel lobby and the military industrial complex in steering America’s foreign policy and wars in the region?

We speak with US army veteran James Carafano, from the conservative Heritage Foundation, who says America’s military buildup in the Middle East is aimed at deterrence.

We also hear from American peace activist and co-founder of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin, who says AIPAC and other pro-Israel groups have too much influence and leverage on US politics and members of Congress.

He is admitting to his own warcrimes and claiming he is an expert on what he thinks he didnt do wrong and therefore Israel is not doing wrong, go figure

James is a talking piece for AIPAC. He is of the Colin Powell team who imagined weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.Their imagining continues.

That man said nothing but lies and the whole world knows it.

Good questions my lady. James is an algorithm designed to execute; he is not qualified to evaluate orders. As we say back home not his pay grade.

It will eventually be called Armageddon

Listening to James, his BS AIPAC propaganda, Colonel Douglas Macgregor should be the Guest instead. Great job and kudos to the TRT presenter for asking tough and provoking questions!!
