World on Edge: Long War in Iran, Islamic Republic 2.0, and Canada’s Choices
Thomas Juneau joins Janice Stein to discuss the war in the Middle East, if doing nothing is an option for Canada, the diaspora politics involved, what role middle powers can play, and how Canada has been “lazy” about its national security. They also discuss the incredible pace of this war, why you cannot “bomb your way to regime change,” the incoherent strategy of this war, how the Iranian regime could become weaker but nastier, the possibility of escalation, the rising nuclear threat, and the role global oil markets played in motivating the American airstrikes.
