#WTH War, Cease-fire, Iran...
A truly WTH moment
Good morning. Today is truly a What the Hell is Going On day, as we seek to understand exactly how the cease-fire in the 12 day war came about, whether Trump actually worked the question with Iran or Israel in advance, whether it will last, and more. But there are loads of other questions, most relating to the “what’s next?” questions. Here are two deep dives, and a diversity of perspectives. The first is our WTH Live episode yesterday with the inimitable Ken Pollack, formerly of AEI and now VP at the Middle East Institute. The second is my Sunday morning interview with C-Span’s Washington Journal. That’s a truly diverse set of viewpoints. If you’d rather listen to the pod, click below.
Jump ahead to about 8:30 to start the event… (and apologies, I’m learning this tech)
And you’ll find the C-Span Washington Journal episode right here. It’s worth a watch if only to see the limits of the arguments against U.S. actions.
As we learn more about what’s next and the current cease-fire, I’ll share more thoughts. If you have questions, post them below, I’ll do my best to respond. And yes, comments are for paid subscribers.
Cease-fire? Talk to me this afternoon. We may have a better answer. Remember We're talking about the Middle East.
