The Bulwark Daily · Robert Kagan: We’re Transitioning to a Post-American World · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

And now he is talking about sending.

not just the mullahs, but the Iranian people back to the Stone Age where they belong, as he so felicitously put it.

So his concern for the Iranian people is something less than zero.

And so, you know, I don't know what outcome anybody ever expected him to accomplish in this situation.

I'm certainly seeing passion.

He seems to be very passionate about killing as many people as he can possibly kill, blowing things up.

He loves to watch pictures of blowing things up.

Maybe that makes him very passionate.

bragged about it like which are civilian targets yeah so anyway on the f-15 and and now the kind of missing airmen and and the bridge and any thoughts on either of those items you know when you carry out a military operation you're you're going to have bad events take place i mean the the general ford had to go back because there was a fire in the laundry which military people who

much more than I do say, is not completely inconsistent with a deployment which has gone on for well over a year.

I think that many of these sailors have not had any leave.

And so that can lead to all kinds of things.

The longer you keep people deployed, the more likely there is for error.

So that's one part of it.

But I really do think people...

And people are saying that Trump has announced intention to commit war crimes.

And so I think I really do think it's important to note they can claim that the bridge has both military and civilian uses.

But when you start going after the energy grid, that's an attack on a civilian target.

This is what Putin is doing in Ukraine.

He is destroying the energy grid in Ukraine to make the Ukrainian people suffer so much that the government can't continue the war.
