Matt Hoh : US is Unprepared for Iran War 3.0
What was said
"they did slip something through in Jordan and uh if we had other operators, you know, would have would not happened unfortunately, but uh we because we have the best equipment in the world, you know, we've stopped almost everything. But when you let other people do your job with the United States, we let other people do the job and sometimes it doesn't work out so well."
Donald Trump alleges the killing of two US soldiers at a US base in Jordan resulted from relying on non-US “operators”. Host Judge Andrew Napolitano and guest Matt Hoh dispute the implication, with Hoh arguing US forces remain responsible for defending their bases even with integrated host-nation systems.
