Kucinich: ‘Iran Could Be the Graveyard of the American Empire’ in a Holy War

In an hour-long March 4 podcast interview on the unfolding Iran war, former U.S. Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich made the assessment that “Iran could be the graveyard of the American Empire.” Interviewed by ScheerPost publisher Robert Scheer, who has covered war and foreign policy for decades and is author of many books, reviewed with Kucinich the unauthorized nature of this undeclared war. Kucinich noted that with 800 U.S. military bases around the world, “not as defensive outposts, but as instruments of economic control” according to ScheerPost’s reprise of his remarks, and with the rise of the “BRICS and weakening of the dollar” the U.S. has hit the end of the road.
