Trump's Iran War Backfires in Ways He Never Expected

On this episode of Meidas Defense, host Joe Plenzler sits down with Dr. Emma Ashford, Senior Fellow at the Stimson Center and author of First Among Equals: U.S. Foreign Policy for a Multipolar World, to discuss the future of American foreign policy following the midterm elections. Ashford breaks down how the war in Iran and rising economic pressures influenced voters, why the U.S. keeps getting drawn into costly foreign conflicts, and how Congress has surrendered much of its authority over military action. They also examine the Trump administration's foreign policy decisions and why a more restrained approach to American leadership may be necessary in a changing global order.
