Boxed in by Iran

Professors John Mearsheimer and Steve Walt, authors of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, address the current state of the Tel Aviv/Washington war against Iran. It’s a case of shooting oneself in the head. 


I still do not understand why the issue of Israel’s hundreds of nukes is not front and center. This is Israel’s war, using Trump as a sidekick, the American people as stooges, and Europe as a hostage. 

If things go bad, or rather get worse, Netanyahu can order his German-gifted U-boats stationed in the Indian Ocean to launch a handful of nuclear tipped missiles into Tehran. Who could stop him? Trump?
