In this Monday night live discussion, Mike Steger and special guest Bruce Director (a longtime collaborator in LaRouche-related strategic work) respond to Trump’s attack on Iran and argue it should be understood in a broader strategic context rather than through familiar Iraq/Afghanistan-era narratives. Mike says he supported opposition to prior Middle East wars but backs Trump now, framing the action as a risky, calculated move to prevent a long-term nuclear and geopolitical threat, curb neocon escalation, and potentially stabilize the Middle East for sovereign development and new global relationships. Bruce, also generally anti-war, calls this the first war in his lifetime he supports, attributing decades of regional turmoil to British imperial strategy, globalism, and the use of Islamic fundamentalism, and argues Trump is uniquely willing since Roosevelt to reorganize global economics and strategy around U.S. leadership and development.
