On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago for our final episode of the year and season. He discusses Donald Trump’s foreign policy failures of 2025, the 12-day Israeli war on Iran, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and how his former defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz attacked him for exposing the Israel lobby, the threat the Israel lobby poses to freedom of speech in the United States, the damage the Gaza genocide has done to Israel’s image abroad, whether a second US-Israel war on Iran is likely, Trump’s growing disdain for Europe and the likely reduction of the US military presence in Europe, the European strategy of trying to prolong the proxy war on Russia through Ukraine, the likely conclusion of the Ukraine proxy war being a frozen conflict, the fate of the global nuclear arms control infrastructure, and much more.
