“NATO Is DEAD” - The Insider Who Warned 4 Presidents About Iran | PBD #795

Description

The man who advised Obama, Ron Paul, and four consecutive White Houses — Republican and Democrat — just went on record to say America's Iran strategy is failing, and the proof is in the data. University of Chicago professor Robert Pape, who spent 20 years modeling the bombing of Iran for the U.S. Air Force and literally turned down a $600K bribe from a Chinese billionaire to change his research, breaks down why bombing Fordo made Iran more dangerous — not less — and reveals that 20% of enriched uranium is now missing and unaccounted for. Pape exposes why economic blockades have never toppled a regime in 100 years of recorded history, draws a chilling parallel between Trump's Iran blockade and the 12-year Iraq sanctions that strengthened Saddam, and delivers a jaw-dropping first-hand account of China uplifting entire cities with AI while America argues tactics. ------ Ⓜ️ MINNECT WITH ROBERT PAPE: https://bit.ly/48Rwu8X 📚 ROBERT PAPE'S SUBSTACK: https://bit.ly/4wjkozn 📕 ROBERT PAPE’S BOOKS: https://bit.ly/42t5id4 🦁 THE VAULT 2026: AUG 31ST TO SEPT 1ST: https://bit.ly/4mZdLhD Ⓜ️ CONNECT ON MINNECT: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4kSVkso Ⓜ️ PBD PODCAST CIRCLES: https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP 🎙️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4g57zR2 🥃 BOARDROOM CIGAR LOUNGE: https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj 👔 BET-DAVID CONSULTING: https://bit.ly/4lzQph2 💬 TEXT US: Text “PODCAST” to 310-340-1132 to get the latest updates in real-time!
