Piers MorganPresident Trump says the war in Iran could be over within two or three weeks. The aftershocks, however, will last for years. He’s also said he is now strongly considering a move to quit NATO altogether. The biggest military alliance in human history is a “paper tiger”, he said, “and Putin knows that too.” But just about everybody also agrees that both America and Europe are significantly weaker on their own. And many across Europe are asking – why should our men and women risk their lives for a war you began without coherently explaining why?
Joining Piers Morgan for a debate on this is attorney and Iranian-American activist, Elica LeBon, Iranian-Canadian activist & former MP Goldie Ghamari, The Grayzone journalist Aaron Mate , The Young Turks Ana Kasparian plus Palestinian political leader Mustafa Barghouti.
