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.

The same dynamics that forced the president on 17 April 2026 to sign the Memorandum of Understanding — which is effectively a surrender document — are still at play. Trump is trapped and has…

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…
