Trump Scrambles Motives and Media Response

With traditional allies refusing to join America’s war on Iran, Jon is joined by Alastair Campbell, co-host of “The Rest Is Politics.” Together, they examine what NATO’s restraint says about how this war and leadership differ from those of the past, discuss what would happen if foreign leaders stood up to Trump, and consider what role Western military intervention should play in the world.
