“TRUMP IS NOT AN AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT; HE’S AN ISRAEL FIRST PRESIDENT.”
World-renowned strategist Professor John Mearsheimer ( ) pulls no punches on the reality of U.S. foreign policy in 2026.
Is President Trump’s Iran strategy a masterclass in deterrence—or just a series of empty threats designed for political theater? 
Empty Rhetoric: Mearsheimer argues that while Trump "talks tough," his actions—like the June 2025 strikes—are often "one-off" operations with no long-term effect.
The Influence: "The Israelis and the Israel lobby in the United States basically own Trump," Mearsheimer claims, suggesting policy is driven by Netanyahu’s needs.
The "Forever War" Fear: Despite the "locked and loaded" posts, Trump remains "purposely avoiding getting us dragged into another forever war".
Credibility Crisis: Constant shifts from negotiation to sudden strikes send a signal to adversaries that "you can't trust the United States"
Pin-Prick Strikes: From Nigeria to Iran, Mearsheimer dismisses recent military actions as "pin-pricks at best" that fail to restore true deterrence: "These in a very important way are empty words." — John Mearsheimer
Are we witnessing "Peace Through Strength" or a dangerous erosion of American credibility?
