WW3 Expert: This Could Trigger Global Starvation
Summary
Steven Bartlett interviews geopolitical expert Professor Dien, who analyzes the US-Iran conflict as a strategic move to preserve American imperial hegemony and the petrodollar. Dien argues that Trump’s miscalculation of Iran’s topography and decentralized military will lead to a protracted war, potentially triggering World War III.
