Summary

Tucker Carlson interviews historian Daryl Cooper, who argues that the US war against Iran marks a moral decline from historical norms of civilized warfare. Cooper highlights logistical failures, noting that depleted missile stockpiles and the lack of public outrage over civilian casualties reveal a desensitized society. He warns that these strategic blunders expose American military limitations to global adversaries and risk escalating toward nuclear conflict.
