YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHost Bobby Jones and former diplomat Nayyera Haq expose the dangerous vacuum of expert knowledge within the U.S. State Department during the Iran War. They discuss how the systematic removal of subject matter expertise left the administration operating on "instinct and ego" rather than strategy.
