President Trump announced last week that the United States would intensify economic sanctions against Iran. Deprived of the ability to import or export goods, Iran faces an unsustainable situation, especially with inflation escalating to 66 percent. Could this contemporary form of economic warfare be the key to resolving the conflict with Iran? Have the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America merged into a single entity? By working their way into the party's rank and file, the DSA has pushed Democrats as far to the left as possible. Do mainstream Democrats mind this shift? Not at all—they share the same overall worldview and are ultimately driven by a desire to win, making the two groups virtually indistinguishable.
