| Title | 'Gambling for resurrection': Amid domestic crises, is US war on Iran a 'wag the dog' trump card? | Source | France 24 - World News |
| Description | Delano D'Souza welcomes Dr. Carla Martinez Machain, Professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo. Dr. Machain offers a damning assessment of Donald Trump’s decision to initiate military strikes against Iran: It must be understood through the lens of domestic political strategy rather than a coherent foreign policy doctrine. The conflict reflects what political scientists call “gambling for resurrection”: a high-risk strategy in which leaders turn to international conflict in the hope of reversing their political fortunes. | ||
