John Mearsheimer: 'This conflict will go on, and on, and on' #israel #lebanon #hezbollah

Israel has told the US it plans to launch a limited ground incursion into Lebanon as soon as Monday. Hezbollah’s deputy leader says they’re ready for a ground offensive. It comes as more than 1000 people have been killed in the past two weeks in Lebanon. Professor John Mearsheimer joins The Spectator’s deputy editor and Americano host Freddy Gray to discuss what’s next for Israel, and the geopolitical implications.

Could they be heading for all-out war? Is it possible that Iran and the US will be sucked into the conflict too? With tensions between Israel and the US on the rise, what will the next few weeks look like – and is there a chance Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah open the way to strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities?

The idea that taking out the leadership of various organizations will change anything reminds me of the quote.... "The cemeteries are full of people who thought themselves indispensable. They vanished into oblivion, and their places were taken by other and better men."

It is nice to have input from a very knowledgeable and non partizan professional!

This genocide against the Palestinian people will not go unpunished.

He predicts the continuation of a conflict that began 77 years ago?! Who could have guessed?

Gasper you have done it again thank you for providing another “personal” reading that is completely attuned to my experience. I have been feeling more isolated each day and looking forward I have imagined that will increase. My nearby spiritual refuge in nature is scheduled to be completely destroyed by a developer to build a sewage plant for a new apartment complex. I am so sad and weak, lost in my old stories. Then you bring up Ramtha channeled by JZ Knight who I followed intensively in the mid eighties and early nineties until rumors and stories that she was fake, in it for the money. I completely shut that down feeling I had been scammed. I remember the one time I saw her give a live presentation in Boston when something unexpected happened. After introducing herself and describing her experience/process she called in Ramtha. At that very moment a strong gust of wind blew open the doors to the auditorium. No wind before or after just when she called in the Lord of the Wind. So maybe it’s time to look again at that work. I’m starting to realize I have been open on and off to all this crazy stuff for a long while and weirdly it has always made sense to me. Think I may take a dive into Ramtha with fresh eyes. Yet here I sit sure, mostly, that I’m this worthless nobody waiting to die and get off this planet. Thanks again Gasper you are a good friend.❤😊

The way he talks it seems like Iran cannot be defeated.

Always a very accurate conclusion by the professor, " axis of resistance will never go away aditioally new countries & groups will join the resistance in near future.

[ashleymoore]

Unless Iran changes there leadership it will go on for ever

Mearsheimer, my brother! You are a best friend to those who love Allah!

[tgoodson]

Oh wow what an enlightening comment. As a matter of fact this has been going on since 1947. I calculate that to be 77 years

[ThomasTshuma-vs]

Talk peace old man.
We are looking for peacemakers, especially among the elderly.

[mehdimirza]

Problem is Israel is confused it does not want to distracted on its mission of greater Israel but already got distracted

[Anno_Nymous]

There is a reference in the bible about the region, and how it will never find peace.

[eden]

Hezbollah is lost
Iran is scared .

Israel has been defending themselves from these people since before I was born.

Și pudieran compartir los turistas ...entre las dos religiones.Di pudieran compartir el măr el nombre de la, ,multiculturalidad,, tolerando las diferencias incluso las concernientes al negocio. ❤ No creo q.es una fatalidad esta guerra incesante.Toenen maneras distintas de trabajar .😅😮😢❤❤
