I’ve inadventently turned this into Doran Sunday. Below is an interview Andrew Klavan recorded with Michael Doran this past Wednesday, before the demise of Ayatollah Khameni. Doran just posted it on X, where I first found it this aFternoon. The video is also posted on YouTube under the title “How Eliminating Ayatollah Khameini Will Change The Middle East.” I found it of interest.
In this interview Doran is looking ahead to the conflict that eventuated in the early morning hours yesterday. In his Saturday Free Press column “Donald Trump’s Strategy of Decapitation” (behind the Free Press paywall) he is looking back, but before Khameni’s death had been determined.
Last Wednesday, when I sat down with @andrewklavan, I said that Trump would be attracted to the decapitation option in Iran. I also said that Tucker Carlson is a mega putz. I got those things right. But I also said the Jews don’t run America. Two out of three ain’t bad. pic.twitter.com/YgPUN8yFlB
