4/10/25 Bill Buppert on the Prospects for War in Iran and Northern Mexico

Scott interviews Bill Buppert about two potential conflicts that some groups within the Trump administration appear to be pushing for. They start with the reported interest shown in carrying out direct military operations against the Mexican cartels. Scott and Buppert discuss why this would be a terrible idea and that it would likely not stay contained in Northern Mexico. They then take a look at the prospects for a war with Iran and draw similar conclusions.  Discussed on the show: Sicario (IMDb) Chasing Ghosts Podcast WarNotes Podcast Bill Buppert is the Smedley D.
