Prof. Robert Pape:
"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".
Demanding Idi Amin-level sychophany will destroy our military and bureaucratic capacity for generations to come.
What’s a faculty lounge?
