Prof. John Mearsheimer: Israel owns the Trump administration, Israel is a liability for the US

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago. He discusses the potential risk of nuclear war between India and Pakistan after the recent breakout of conflict, the alignment of China and the US on either side of the India-Pakistan conflict, Israel’s internal deterioration and civil unrest, Donald Trump’s support for Israel as the Gaza genocide continues, Israel’s campaign to push the United States into a war with Iran, the US campaign against Yemen and why it harms the US campaign to contain China. Prof. Mearsheimer also talks about Mike Waltz working with Benjamin Netanyahu behind Trump’s back to push for a war with Iran, the Israeli-US plan to keep Syria wrecked and broken, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s demand for a Palestinian state, Trump’s failure to end the Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine, his prediction that a war will end on the battlefield as a frozen conflict with a Ukrainian defeat, and much more.
