Did the recent joint U.S.–Israeli pre-emptive strike on Iran reshape the global power balance?
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Wendy Patrick and co-host Larry Dershem sit down with international bestselling author Jared Knott to unpack the potential geopolitical and economic consequences of the conflict with Iran—and whether it could alter the strategic chessboard involving China, Russia, and North Korea.
The conversation also explores a fascinating historical theme: how seemingly small decisions can trigger massive global consequences. Drawing from his new book, Tiny Blunders / Big Disasters Book 2: The Many Tiny Mistakes That Changed the World Forever, Knott shares powerful examples of how minor miscalculations have reshaped history.
A decorated Vietnam infantry combat officer and historian, Knott brings both firsthand experience and deep historical insight to a discussion that connects past lessons to today’s rapidly evolving world.
