In this episode, recorded a few weeks ago, Conall and Emerson offer their thoughts on Trump's handling of the war he started with Iran, and why the US is losing that war. Among other things, we note the fact that this is an administration filled with people incapable of empathizing with others - who view it as a weakness - and how this makes them weak, incompetent opponents against the much more motivated Iranians. We make the case: in war, you must empathize with your enemy.
