With Iran’s military capability seriously degraded, one of the major questions is whether regime change can be effected by air power alone or if grounds troops would have to be committed in support of a popular, but largely unarmed, uprising. Victor Davis Hanson provides his take on how the war is progressing thus far, the recent primary results, Ukrainian strikes against Russia shadow fleet, and more.

I look forward to watching these podcasts; they are so informative entertaining at the same time. Never bet against VDH!
Victor discusses Ukraine being responsible for the attack on the LNG Tanker near Malta, but when I tried to find reputable news reports about this I had a lot of trouble. Most said "Russia claimed" Ukraine was responsible. If, as Victor suggested, Ukraine is using the Iran war as cover for this action, it's important for Americans and their representatives to know given how much public opinion has shifted on Ukraine. It would be nice to have a follow up, if perhaps Victor was too certain on this, or maybe he could give a reference.
