Larry Johnson: The U.S. Will Exhaust Itself & Lose War Against Iran

Larry Johnson's Sonar21 collects his commentary and analysis on intelligence, national security, and U.S. foreign policy from the perspective of a former CIA analyst. The work critiques American intelligence assessments and interventions, arguing that policy decisions often rest on flawed assumptions or misrepresentations. Johnson discusses case studies and contemporary crises to illustrate how intelligence failures and political objectives interact. He offers interpretations of geopolitical events with a focus on Middle East conflicts and U.S. strategic choices. Sonar21 serves both as a vehicle for Johnson's ongoing commentary and as a longer-form presentation of his views on intelligence and policy.
