"This War Will Fail" - Military Expert Prof Robert Pape (Video)
In this 25 March 2026 published TRIGGERnometry video, hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster talk with Professor Robert Pape, a military strategist at the University of Chicago, who argues that the current U.S. war against Iran is failing strategically despite being “tactically brilliant”. Pape contends that while the U.S. military is successfully destroying 90 percent of its intended targets, the overarching goal of positive regime change is not being met.
He asserts that precision strikes often backfire by creating “fear and anger” that motivates the target population and leadership to lash back, rather than surrender. He warns that current operations risk creating a “hornet’s nest” similar to the 15-year conflict in Iraq that birthed ISIS. Pape highlights that the U.S. is moving from precision munitions to “gravity bombs,” which signals a running out of precision stockpiles and will likely increase civilian casualties.
