YouTube Description
as posted by the channelProfessor Wolff and I discuss the U.S.–Iran war, not just as a tragedy but as a symptom of something much greater. We may look back and see this as a defining moment in the long arc of American imperial decline. Iran’s resistance reflects decades of intervention and humiliation, even as global economic interdependence has made U.S. power more fragile. At the same time, asymmetrical warfare and shifting global alliances are eroding America's military dominance. There's something new in the US, too: a public that is skeptical about a war from the beginning. That suggests a deeper American fatigue with the burdens of empire.
These developments point to a system that's under strain and may be approaching a turning point—the beginning of the end.
