YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago tells the Middle East Report that Iran has become a 'centre of global power' after President Trump strategically was defeated in Iran.

He considers the defeat to be worse than Vietnam - with the repercussions for the region, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and Middle East power to get worse.

Professor Pape suggests its likely that President Trump will be known as the President that lost the Middle East and could see him impeached after the midterms.
