Κατηγορία: Offensive Realism

ª Prof. Mearsheimer¹ political & Strategic assessment on Iran War In today’s video I’ll explain² why I believe a US victory is not possible and why the longer Trump waits to cut a deal with Iran, the worse the outcome for the US.  I’ll argue that Trump would have been wise to settle the war months ago, after the initial bombing campaign failed. Instead, he kept looking for some way to win the war or at least find an off ramp that would allow him to make the case that…

¹On 15 July 2026, I was on CNN-News18, a leading television news channel in India. The discussion focused almost exclusively on the war in Iran and the question of where the conflict is headed.

On 2 June 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about President Trump’s recent profanity-laced phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu where Trump expressed real anger at Netanyahu for not stopping Israel’s brutal war in Lebanon. The reason Trump is so angry with Netanyahu is that the president is desperate to create a ceasefire with Iran and begin negotiations toward a final settlement, but he cannot get a ceasefire with Iran in place until all the fighting in Lebanon stops. Iran, which is demanding a ceasefire in…

Prof. John Mearsheimer discusses the West going up the escalation ladder against both Russia and Iran, with all-out war as the logical conclusion. ​«Ὁ καθηγητὴς Τζὸν Μιρσχάιμερ συζητᾶ γιὰ τὴ Δύση ποὺ ἀνεβαίνει τὴν κλίμακα τῆς κλιμάκωσης ἐναντίον τόσο τῆς Ρωσίας ὅσο καὶ τοῦ Ἰράν, μὲ τὸν ὁλοκληρωτικὸ πόλεμο ὡς τὴ λογικὴ κατάληξη» https://youtu.be/Dx7osj5gCmo?is=Jjt8MObAnvyUAJiN
