WTH Extra! Defining Victory in Iran. Dany and Marc Discuss.

On this episode of WTH Extra! Dany and Marc discuss their recent pieces on the war in Iran and the media coverage that has followed. Marc writes for the Post, What is the definition of victory in Iran? There are three. Dany writes in the WTH Substack, No we're not losing to Iran, detailing the myths and tropes about the ongoing war and its operational success. What Western media and our supposed "allies" fail to, or refuse, to consider, is that Iran is a unique enemy and the regime's words must be taken seriously. To root for failure is an affront to our ongoing mission and the Iranian people. So WTH? We share our wisdom with more to come... Read the transcript here. Subscribe to our Substack here.

WTH: War in Iran. David Albright Explains the Nuclear Threat.

Over the weekend, President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, the most ambitious US military operation in decades. In the wake of the 2025 12-Day War, Iran again worked to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program and its missile arsenal. These threats, in combination with the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians in January, brought the US to the brink of war. The operation has targeted IRGC command, missile defense systems, and senior regime leadership, including the Supreme Leader and his successors. Secretary Hegseth has stated that nothing is off the table, including the possible deployment of ground forces, an option potentially necessary to secure Iran’s nuclear materials. Our guest, David Albright, warns that failing to secure those materials will ultimately undermine the operation’s success. In the weeks ahead, what indicators will signal whether the regime is truly at risk of collapse? Beyond military targets, what political considerations must be addressed to ensure lasting success once combat operations cease? David Albright is the founder and President of the non-profit Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, D.C. He has written numerous assessments on secret nuclear weapons programs throughout the world, has authored or co-authored nine books and briefed policymakers on non-proliferation policy making.

Humans versus machines: how technology is impacting the future of work

For many years it was thought that the only industries at risk of being automated were those that did not require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is bringing automation to increasing numbers of tasks and forcing human beings to work in concert with technology. Some say, AI is actually rewriting the playbook of work altogether and may undermine the role as a source of meaning and purpose. Brent talks to Daniel Susskind, a Fellow in Economics at Balliol College, Oxford, and the author of “A World Without Work: Technology, Automation, and How We Should Respond”. They discuss technological unemployment and the role of work in personal fulfillment. Along the way, they sort the science of artificial intelligence from the science-fiction.

Moldova's Nearing Energy Crisis (with Dr. Francis Fukuyama)

Following his recent trip to Moldova, Giselle Donnelly and Iulia Joja sat down with Dr. Francis Fukuyama, Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute, to discuss the implications Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have for greater Europe. According to Dr. Fukuyama, since Moldova is 100% dependent on Russia for energy and gas—and Transnistria is 100% dependent on Moldova for its own energy—a potential decision by Russia to cut off gas supplies to Moldova would put two countries on the precipice of an energy crisis. Accordingly, Dr. Fukuyama argued that Europe must rethink its energy policy and help secure gas flows from other parts of the continent to reduce overall dependence on Russian energy supplies. On the topic of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent threat to use nuclear weapons on Ukraine, Fukuyama believes it is unlikely. Although Putin has been an “unpredictable risk taker” in the past, resorting to nuclear warfare would be self-destructive; not only would it have international consequences, but it would run the risk of “scaring” Russian citizens and isolating Putin from his own population. For the sake of his own survival, Fukuyama said, nuclear weapons should be out of the question.
