Paul Craig Roberts: The US Decline Is Accelerating: Trump Just Trapped America In A New Quagmire

Dialogue Works

About

Explore the shifting geopolitical landscape in West Asia. This interview analyzes the US transition from military to economic warfare against Iran as an exit strategy from failing conflicts. We discuss the potential emergence of a powerful regional alliance involving Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, which could counter Israeli expansion and end US hegemony in the Middle East.

The conversation also covers the declining influence of the Israel lobby in US politics, the unsustainable $40T US national debt driven by the military-industrial complex, and the risk of de-dollarization due to aggressive sanctions. Finally, we touch on rising US-Canada tensions and erratic diplomatic behavior stemming from foreign policy frustrations.
