Mearsheimer: Israel and its enormously powerful lobby have the means to make Trump dance to their tune, as they have demonstrated repeatedly since Trump moved back into the White House.

April 15, 2026/2 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Mershiemer:

On 14 April 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with Judge Napolitano about Iran. My central point to the judge was that Trump is in no position to work out a deal with Iran that settles the ongoing war in a meaningful way. The reason is simple: Israel has no interest in a ceasefire, much less an agreement that satisfies any of Iran’s demands, especially its demand that it maintain the capability to enrich uranium. Israel would prefer to wreck Iran, much the way Syria was wrecked. And Israel and its enormously powerful lobby have the means to make Trump dance to their tune, as they have demonstrated repeatedly since Trump moved back into the White House in January 2025. The only circumstance where Trump might stand up to Israel and the lobby is if the world economy is on the verge of disaster, and the president feels that eventuality would be so dire that he has no choice but to stand up to Israel.

    Trump is not the tough guy he pretended to be. Over time he will see how badly he has wrecked his reputation, in an unrecoverable way. He is now attacking anyone that does not bow down to Israel.

    Mearsheimer …that only looming economic disaster could get Trumpstein to stand up to Netanyahu. That would first require that trump drop Bibi’s cock, wipe his mouth, and take a very long shower. In other words, it is utopian to think that Trump can do anything about The Jews. Mossad would kill Trump, etc. anyway.

    Vance is a total pussy….so we are dependent on Iran , the only large people to stand up to the Jews and Jew Tools like Trump.

    Iran seems to risk everything on turning Israel into ash….might as well, since The Jews’ Samson Option is right now on the table for The Jews. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, Either Or .

    When Bibi and tribe decide to waste Persia, the CIA should know that and advise Trump to strike first…Israel of course, and Trumpstein will check his billions first. Your money or your life. Trumpstein will waver. A couple of kilotons over Tel Aviv, or megatons over Iran? Considering semi global economic carnage and a dead Trump politically for turning Iran into glass, Kilotons over Tel Aviv seems to be the the better option if there is any rationality left in Trump’s withered brain.

    Of curse, not Trump but Israel will drop the Bomb on Iran.
