Κατηγορία: Offensive Realism

Trump Had No Choice ¹On 19 June 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about the central issue of the day — the Memorandum of Understanding that Iran and the United States worked out to put an end to the war between them. There is no question that Iran won the war and forced the US to concede to almost every one of its demands. The reason is simple: if the war continued, the international economy was destined to go off the precipice in the next couple…

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

BLUF It’s horrible where we are  ¹On 7 April 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about President Trump’s shocking “Truth Social” post about Iran, where he said that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Of course, he is saying that the US and Israel will wipe Iran off the face of the earth, which is consistent with his earlier rhetoric that he intended to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, if it does not concede defeat. There is no…

¹On 29 March 2026, Steve Walt and I were together on “Switzerland” talking with Tom Switzer³ about the Iran war and its broader geopolitical consequences.  We also spent considerable time discussing how President Trump, who warned about the danger of getting involved in “forever wars,” could have allowed himself to invade Iran.  What a colossal blunder!  The discussion among the three of us, like so many discussions in the alternative media these days, made it clear that Trump has no good options moving forward, only bad ones. ______________________________ Professors John Mearsheimer…
