האם ישראל מוכנה לשלם את מחיר ההססנות?ניצן דוד פוקס, מייסד "המשחק הגדול" ועמית מחקר במכון ארגמן, חוזר לרוח מערבית לשיחה שמפרקת את האשליה המסוכנת:למה בלי שלטון צבאי בעזה – המלחמה רק תימשך, והחטופים לא יחזרו?איך הקבינט קובע אסטרטגיה – והחיילים הם שמשלמים את המחיר?בהמשך השיחה, פוקס מסביר למה חמאס לא ישחרר את החטופים ללא תמורה אסטרטגית משמעותית, ומדוע "עסקה עכשיו – מלחמה אחר כך" היא תרחיש שישראליים רוצים להאמין בו, אבל חמאס לעולם לא יקבל. זו לא רק טעות מוסרית – זו טעות אסטרטגית שמזמינה את הסבב הבא.דיברנו גם על הגישה האמריקנית לאיראן: איך טראמפ השתמש באיום צבאי כדי להביא את טהראן לשולחן המו"מ, למה הממשלים השונים בארה"ב מתכנסים לאותו היגיון אסטרטגי מול סין, ולמה ייתכן שישראל לבדה תצטרך להתמודד עם תוכנית הגרעין האיראנית – בלי גיבוי אמריקני ברור.ניתוח חריף, ביקורתי וישיר – על הפחד מכיבוש הרצועה, על מוסר שגוי, ועל מה שצריך לקרות כדי לנצח באמת.האזנה נעימה 🎧🌟רוצים לתמוך בעשייה שלנו? מוזמנים לתרום כאן: https://buymeacoffee.com/westernspirit🌟לפניות עסקיות, הרצאות, או פרסום בפודקאסט, שלחו לנו מייל: [email protected]
