Trump’s War: The man with no plan bombs Iran

The Matts do their level best to make sense of the last three days - events which make little sense in isolation, but once a wider spectrum of factors comes into play, does a sinister strategy emerge? Donald Trump is defying the US electorate just at a time when he needs to be rebuilding support. Why doesn’t he care? Was the suspected aspiration for a short four- or five-day conflict, followed by a swift return to the negotiating table, as insane as it seems? And how does this affect the UK economy and Keir Starmer’s government? We are in the foothills of this crisis - so no better time to get the map out and try to work out which way we’re headed. Join The Two Matts as they pore over the contour lines of a very rocky landscape. Enjoy!
