Michael Duncan: 我认为美国不应该再在中东地区进行军事干预,但是讨论这个问题需要结合过去50年的历史背景。特别是伊朗通过其代理人在伊拉克杀害美国军人的行为,以及他们长期以来对西方的敌对态度。我们不能忽略伊朗对美国造成的威胁,以及他们发展核武器的野心。了解这些历史背景对于我们做出明智的决策至关重要。 Comfortably Smug: 过去20多年美国的对外政策经验让我认为,我们不应该再重蹈覆辙。我们曾经被告知,这些国家渴望民主,我们可以建立桥梁,但结果却付出了巨大的代价。因此,在处理伊朗问题时,我们应该优先考虑使用情报和美国武器,而不是派遣大量士兵。 John Ashbrook: 许多右翼人士担心美国可能再次陷入与伊朗的长期地面战争。我认为我们应该关注伊朗的行动,并采取必要的措施来保护美国的利益。伊朗每晚向以色列发射导弹,实际上是在为以色列提供更多目标,这使得以色列能够更好地摧毁伊朗的军事设施。 Brian Hook: 以色列选择在这个时候采取行动,是因为10月7日之后,内塔尼亚胡总理表示“永不重蹈覆辙”,这意味着中东地区将会出现新的安全架构。以色列正在为针对伊朗核项目的最后一步做准备,可以通过空中或地面进行。特朗普总统现在有多种军事选择,包括进攻性的行动,甚至可以使用掩体炸弹摧毁福尔多核设施。伊朗可以拥有和平的核能,但不应该进行铀浓缩,否则将会刺激该地区的军备竞赛。

🎙️ Michael Duncan, Comfortably Smug, and John Ashbrook tackle the Iran question: should Trump strike or seek peace? They explore the 50 years of context—Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the 444-day hostage crisis, Hezbollah’s 1983 Beirut bombing (241 US service members killed), and Qassem Soleimani’s IED attacks in Iraq. 🇮🇷 Guest Brian Hook, former Assistant Secretary of State, breaks down Israel’s surgical strikes on Iran’s proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah) and missile capabilities, exposing Iran’s weakened state. Will the Ayatollah take Trump’s off-ramp or face a bunker-buster on the Fordow nuclear facility? 🤔 On the lighter side, they roast Senator Padilla’s flop at a Kristi Noem event, Ilhan Omar’s unhinged ICE rants, and a WNBA brawl targeting Caitlin Clark. 🏀The “No Kings” protests get shredded—labeled anti-military and out-of-touch. Plus, a bizarre clip of a woman claiming she’s in an alternate timeline where Kamala Harris won! 😵‍💫 Question of the day: Does Trump strike Iran or negotiate peace? Drop your take below! 👇 Subscribe, like, and hit the bell 🔔 for more unfiltered bangers! #RuthlessPodcast #Iran #Trump #NoKings #CaitlinClark
