Iran War Expert: If This Escalation Continues, 2027 Will Be Devastating! | Prof Robert Pape

Steven Bartlett interviews Professor Robert Pape, a leading political scientist and author of 'Our Own Worst Enemies', about the rising risks of political violence and international escalation. They explore the 'escalation trap', where conflicts spiral like a gambler chasing losses rather than strategic chess, and the threat that a limited three-day bombing campaign could cascade into a wider war that paralyzes global infrastructure. Pape explains how violent populism is creating a tinderbox of politically divided citizens, outlines how the Insurrection Act could legally place troops on domestic streets during a contested election, and offers concrete firebreaks ordinary citizens can demand to prevent World War Three.
