5:58Now PlayingJimmy talks to former Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich about the dangerously risky U.S. strategy of arming Kurdish militants to provoke a civil war inside Iran, a proxy tactic they argue has historically led to the Kurds being betrayed and slaughtered. Kucinich warns that any ground invasion of Iran would be catastrophically stupid, resulting in American casualties that dwarf Vietnam and Iraq due to Iran's geography and population.
The two predict that involving the Kurds could draw Turkey into the conflict, destabilize the region further, and ultimately backfire by making U.S. military bases around the world vulnerable targets. The conversation frames the entire Iran escalation as a reckless miscalculation driven by either megalomania or incompetence, with the Kurdish people once again being used as disposable pawns.
