Discussion of Elbridge Colby's flip from anti-regime-change hawk to fumbling silence in a hearing, plus reporting that only the military (via Gen. Dan Cain) internally warned about Iran's ability to turn this into a regional war.
- Tim explains that Elbridge Colby was attacked in Politico last summer for opposing continued Ukraine war funding.
- Billionaires and media figures pushed Trump to fire Colby because he was a thorn in the side of neoconservatives.
- General Dan Cain raised internal military opposition based on material concerns about the war.
- Iran warned publicly that attacking them would turn the conflict into a regional war and hit harder than before.
- Cain shared assessments internally about vulnerable U.S. military infrastructure—radar installations, Patriot batteries, bases within range of Iranian ballistic missiles.
- Tim notes the U.S. spent decades building Middle East military infrastructure to control global commerce, now put at risk over this war.
