## Resource

Larry Johnson is a former CIA intelligence analyst who also worked at the U.S. State Department's Office of Counterterrorism. Johnson discusses why the U.S. cannot win on the battlefield, why a peace agreement will radically reduce U.S. influence in the Middle East, while a continued ceasefire/blockade will push the global economy over the edge.
