Colonel Daniel Davis: The US and Israel Just Lost the Iran War (Video)

In this 12 September 2026 published video, host Cyrus Janssen talks with retired U.S. Army Colonel Daniel Davis for a brutally honest assessment of America’s escalating Iran war—and why Washington may have entered a conflict it cannot win. Drawing on 21 years of military service and four combat deployments, Davis explains how Iran’s geography, missile production, and willingness to endure could make this war fundamentally different from Iraq or Afghanistan. We discuss rising American casualties, dwindling missile supplies, mounting pressure on U.S. troops, surging oil prices, and the staggering economic cost of continuing the war. 

Davis also addresses whether the U.S. military still trusts President Trump’s leadership, what an American “victory” would actually look like, why China and Russia may ultimately benefit, and whether the conflict could trigger massive global shortages in 2027. Finally, he delivers his assessment of the Russia–Ukraine war, why Russia maintains the advantage, why Ukraine is unlikely to regain its lost territory, and why the next six months could be among the most dangerous the world has faced in decades. This is one of the most important—and sobering—military conversations we’ve had on the channel.
