@steven: Did the US just make Iran more likely to build a nuclear weapon?? To understand that, I’m joined by Robert Pape - a war strategist who has spent decades studying how bombing campaigns actually change conflicts. Robert is a professor at the University of Chicago and one of the world’s leading experts on military strategy and political violence. For more than 40 years, he’s studied why wars escalate - and what actually happens politically after the bombs fall. I wanted to know: - Where is Iran’s nuclear material right now? - What happens if the US puts boots on the ground in Iran? - Could this conflict spread beyond the Middle East? - Why do powerful countries often lose wars to weaker enemies? - What is the “escalation trap”? There’s a moment where Robert says something that completely changed how I think about modern warfare. He told me: “Bombs don’t just hit targets - they change politics.” Throughout the conversation, he walked me through that while we often focus on whether bombs hit their targets, the real consequences of war often come from the political reactions those strikes trigger. If you want to understand how wars escalate and why military victories can sometimes create bigger long-term risks, this episode is for you. #podcast #iran #trump #usa
