Bombs, Backlash, and the American Smokescreen
Manage episode 490218044 series 3358688
A bombing in Iran has reignited questions that echo across American history. Why do military escalations so often follow domestic scandals, economic strain, or political collapse, especially under Republican leadership? In this episode, we explore how past administrations have used foreign conflict to distract from trouble at home, from Reagan’s invasion of Grenada to the Bush campaigns in Panama and Iraq, all the way back to Nixon and Johnson. Is this national defense or history repeating itself?
