Instead of sidelining the very significant role Israel played in pushing the US into this war with Iran lets reference it as the US-Israel war on Iran. It's disturbing on many levels that Israel is hardly referenced when discussing the war, especially since Iran has been on their hit list for decades. Israel implemented a genocide, but it couldn't have done it without US. Although I really like Mearsheimer I wish he would stop explaining the carnage and destruction going on as tit-for-tat, especially when so much destruction has already occurred and the possibility for so much more to occur on so many levels.
@joe: my US brother in law tells me - and i paraphrase - that israel is actually just a tool to help the US reach, or rather maintain, its ultimate goal of global hegemony. after all, the state of israel is a creation of the west who wanted a foothold in an area they named the Fertile Crescent in 1916 [and i capitalize here, contrary to my habit of using lowercase letters only]. land, resources and raw materials are all the west/global north have ever been after in order to keep their status.
i find the fact that the west did not reign israel in as soon as the first illegal settlements were created, and has never objected to their CON_stant expansion since, a quite illustrative case in point here. doesn't general wesley clarke's statement, made in 2007, come to mind, too: "this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with iraq, and then syria, lebanon, libya, somalia, sudan and finishing off with iran."?
good points yeah, well now you're making me think.
I think what you're saying is even worse. …
…. Still no matter what there was no need for a genocide Or a violent Illegaloccupation somebody had to pick up those guns Aim them at Non-combat Citizens ….children and pull the trigger
from a settler colonist point of view, the 'need' [for ethnic cleansing] was there, in 1948 already. apartheid, starvation, elimination. and now gaza has become the "blueprint" for other arbitrary mass killings of non-white "scum!", with impunity. [i was recently reminded, through an interview w haim besheeth, son of a holocaust survivor, on "deep dive perspective", that the german holocaust killed almost six million anti-zionists. futile to imagine what course the history of the region would have taken, if they had not been killed.]
as to having been pushed into this war: why would the US give in to pressure? when iran's supreme leader was dead, #47 said: "he was out to get me but i got him first." my guess is that israel's PM instilled huge amounts of fear in #47: "khamenei is out to get you, out to get you! get him first!" the PM knew that only #47 would be gullible enough to believe this monstrous lie. [like i wrote: just my guess.] isn't blaming israel a way of distracting from the fact that HUGE amounts of USD facilitate the genocide?
On a planet with finite resources and expanding economies resulting in ever increasing demand for those resources, isn't war the unfortunate inevitable net result of imperialism?
Why wouldn't the Gulf countries simply turn around and go against "Israel"? That would be the logical thing to do, no?
Unless Mossad does have all the information on the Prince-Vassals and the Epstein class. I don't even think it is a conspiracy theory, because I truly believe it is not a theory at all. The same goes for Trump, putting himself in this position and being a sociopath that always needs to "win" and now accumulating loses.
Sadly, so many people are paying the price for the grit, evilness of a couple of thugs that currently have a firm grip in the destiny of the world.
Very interesting assessment from John Mearsheimer. Chris, you looked very grim during this interview. That only adds to the gravity of the excellent exchange you had with Mr. Mearsheimer. The idea that we will have to wait and see what dummy Trump will do this week is grim.

John and Chris, we should be discussing things with Israel not with Iran
without the Jewish bully, none of this would've happened.
Let's own that and move forward appropriately
and my opinion. The guns need to be pointed at Israel, their nuclear capability dismantled, and that would settle the whole thing permanently.

Israeli Jews pushed us into this war and now it’s going and they're hiding in the corner

Glad you had him on your program
