Larry Johnson : Trump Has Lost the Energy War
Summary
Judge Napolitano and Larry Johnson analyze the global diesel shortage caused by the Iran conflict, debunking Trump’s claim that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries are the primary cause. They discuss the limited impact of a new U.S.-Russia oil deal and the escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure, which threaten regional stability. The conversation also highlights the Pentagon’s suppression of casualty data and congressional oversight regarding damaged U.S. bases, arguing that the administration is hiding the true costs of the war to manage public outrage.
