(Ep. 2778 of the Tom Woods Show) Why won't sanctions end the war — and why won't the next round be any different? Scott explains why Russia's core demands haven't shifted since 2022, why recapturing lost territory remains a fantasy for Ukraine, and what Trump's Patriot missile license and warmer tone toward Zelensky actually signal. With Europe unwilling to pressure Kyiv toward concessions and Moscow unwilling to stop short of Odessa, the war grinds on — and escalating strikes only risk making it worse. On Israel and Iran: the high-profile spats between Washington and Tel Aviv are coordinated theater, not genuine friction. Backchannel talks with Iran are ongoing, and Trump's "MOU canceled" moment was an off-the-cuff bluff, not a real policy decision. Meanwhile, the hardliner crowd demanding Iran surrender its nuclear program, its missiles, and its regional allies is demanding an unconditional surrender America has not come close to earning. Then: what the killing of Khamenei actually unleashed, why air power keeps failing to win wars, and the direct blowback attack that hit Austin, Texas the very night the war in Iran began. Scott also walks through his two new Scott Horton Academy courses — the second half of his U.S.-Russia Cold War series and a brand-new deep dive into the hidden history of AIPAC and the Israel Lobby.
