Chas Freeman: Trump Back Down - Armageddon Postponed?

Ambassador Chas Freeman discusses Trump backing down instead of carrying out his 48-hour threat of destroying Iran's energy facilities. Iran's threat to destroy the energy and desalination plants of the Gulf States appears to have deterred the US, yet armageddon has only been postponed as there is no off-ramp. Ambassador Freeman was a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, earning the highest public service awards of the Department of Defense for his roles in designing a NATO-centred post-Cold War European security system and in reestablishing defence and military relations with China. He served as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm).
