Russia is too big to just ally, they would challenge US interests all the time. Splitting up Russia into different small nation states and then allying them is potentially the smarter choice. The only Problem will be to convince those russian remnant states to concede their nukes.

@@gideonregalado5477 Mearsheimer has his theory of international relations. If facts contradict his theory, too bad for the facts. I'll never tire of saying that Mearsheimer is "moral idiot" and Putin's "useful idiot". Unfortunately there are many like him. Moral idiocy is an inability to distinguish between right and wrong, or to understand how moral values apply to ones own life and the lives of others. It is sometime used to describe amoral institutional behavior, with the suggestion that moral idiocy may be an engrained feature of some social, commercial, or political constructs. Useful idiot - In political jargon, a useful idiot is a term currently used to reference a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause-particularly a bad cause originating from a devious, ruthless source-without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause's leaders. The term was often used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation.

@@vladimirmedjimorec1810 Yes, what is going on in Ukraine is really bad but to know the cause of this is important as well. We should keep in mind the weapon of mass destruction that were never found in Iraq. In that country died more than 1 million death not to mention wounded. Population-based studies produce estimates of the number of Iraq War casualties ranging from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 (per the Iraq Family Health Survey) to 1,033,000 excess deaths (per the 2007 Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey). Other survey-based studies covering different time-spans find 461,000 total deaths as of June 2011 (per PLOS Medicine 2013), and 655,000 total deaths (over 90% of them violent) as of June 2006 (per the 2006 Lancet study). Body counts counted at least 110,600 violent deaths as of April 2009 (Associated Press). In another case of invading a country having precarious reasons is Afganistan war where NATO was involved heavily. Body count is larger than in Iraq due to the fact that the intervention lasted 20 years. I do hope from whole of my soul that a peace solution is going to be found soon. I hope this peace solution will not last longer than Iraq or Afganistan.

Maintaining the American hegemony costs a trillion dollars of new debt every year. At this rate the US can't afford to counter China much longer.

Prof Mearsheimer is amazingly honest but somehow I feel he is also so misinformed about China. Reason why China was so poor after the Communist took over was that US with its allies put sanctions on her just like they do the the Cubans. US was on the downwards trajectory in the 1970’s with all its wars expenses in Vietnam, coups around the world and they saw opportunities in China with its huge potential market and cheap Human Resources for the big multinationals who were happy to uproot their companies in their own soils at the expanse of their own population. Little did they realise that the Chinese are fast learners to be able to pull themselves out of poverty. The Chinese may forgive the west and Japan for what they did but not forget their century of humiliation. Before colonialism, China was able to live peacefully with other nations. Trades among South East Asian Countries were flourishing without even taken lands from smaller countries. China is more interested in trades and ensures its population is taken care of without seizing areas or resources from other countries. Affairs were conducted through diplomatic negotiations. China knows that to survive , she needs to be prepare for offensive measures by big power like the US. SCS is important to them as 80 % of their trades passes through there and a blockage on the strait of Malacca would strangle their economy, hence the alternative routes through the belt and road initiatives.

China was poor for it's own decisions in 1950s and 1960s, mainly due to restricting private enterprise and little bit for Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward - and not because of sanctions specifically on China. Obviously the wider West wasn't going to trade actively with the Soviet Bloc after the Korean War (Soviet side attacked first) and the Russian tanks rolling through Hungary in the 1950s. It's absolutely amazing to me that the poor performance of China in 1950s and 1960s can be blamed on the Americans, who assisted China to fight off Imperial Japan.

Great lecture and great questions from the Hungarian audience. Regarding Visegrád, Mearsheimer sees it as an alliance of nation states that could never assume the powers of a nation state, being a competitor with Germany or France. This made me wonder just how Mearsheimer views existing nation states, like Canada (I am Canadian), Belgium, Finland, Luxembourg or Switzerland, that are bilingual or multilingual. If he sees the nation state as growing, not shrinking in importance in the future, does he see such states as flourishing or being remapped, in some cases disappearing? It is easy to imagine a future where Belgium, for example, is partitioned between The Netherlands, France and Germany, which would seem a more logical future in a world of nation states. This is not something I am recommending. I am just asking the question.

Canada's situation (I am also Canadian) is very tenuous. Zeihan says Canada is not a country, just like Lucien Bouchard did back whenever, but ten countries, all closer economically to the neighboring states to the south. Canada never even had a free trade agreement between provinces!! There is some sort of national consciousness, but it is flimsy, only based on a few idiosyncratic features like a health care system that barely works. Canada lives only at the mercy of the USA. The current policy is to open Canada to as much immigration as possible. I suppose that this might result in some kind of temporary nationalism, but Arabs in Quebec, Indians in Ontario and Chinese in BC are becoming more and more dominant in their respective regions, diluting local populations. Where do you think that would lead?

@@JagadanandaDas Thank you for your reply, Jagadananda. Sorry, I am not at all familiar with Zeihan's work and had to look him up to see that he is a geopolitical analyst. I am probably more comfortable with a very decentralized federation than you are. The Belgians were unhappy with their unitary state and looked around for a federal model, and decided that they liked ours. Now they have one of the most decentralized federations in Europe as we have one of the most decentralized federations in the Western Hemisphere. Canadians used to have more of a sense of nationhood than they do now. Justin Trudeau began a Stalinist campaign of defaming Canadian leaders like John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson and Hector Langevin, and destroying their monuments, renaming schools named after them and so forth. The next step may be to abolish the RCMP since it was created by that vicious racist hatemonger Macdonald. Eventually, Trudeau will be gone from office, and he will get his own monument, a big statue in Houston outside the Kinder-Morgan headquarters. Then, if we are lucky, things will follow a better track. We are never going to have the kind of influence on world affairs again that we had during the Second World War, when we were so important in defeating Nazism, but if we stay together we may still have great achievements ahead of us.

Critics of Mearsheimer don't understand that he isn't trying to justify the actions of political actors, but as a political scientist trying to best make a model of how nation states behave. So far, his model has been correct about Ukraine being invaded as he predicted in 2015 and now Ukraine being wrecked. Any model that is predictive aka can predict future events shows itself to be accurate. We've seen the whole Fukuyama theory that every country should be a liberal democracy and that would make the world safer and which all our current politicians apparently follow be demonstrated as false. Fukuyama almost reminds me of Marxist communism that initially sounds great living in a utopia where there is no inequality, but turns out to never, ever work in reality.

I do have to point out that his analysis tend to move back to a static state and slow advancing a valid strategic goals. What he seems to miss out is the black swans events that topple a well crafted ideas. When you look on a larger scale on history those ideas to stay static and maintain a status queo seems to be the natural human desire. No wars and less people in charge, I guess he can argue for the church in the 1500. Does China expansion is good for humanity ? Does Russia hold on gas reserve is a must ? Why do we tend to avoid conflicts in order to stay stuck. What if fusion works ? What would Russia do than? What if China will have issue with food as they tend to have from time to time without a rich soil ? What if the US will have more power to social media ? Those events are the things that rattle the cage even if you plan ahead so cleverly .

I like how one of the questions is treating realism like its an obscure theory not like the first thing you learn in IR. The smart thing is to use the theory as analytical lens and compare with other competing theories, but sadly you don't see that in these lectures.

We are talk about this until we are blue in the face or until hell freezes over or whatever. Actually, things are rather simple. Mearsheimer is "moral idiot" and "useful idiot". Many of his admirers are also "moral idiots".

Many people would benefit from listening to Mearsheimer's analysis. His emphasis on the state being the primary actor in international relations is something that central Europeans, including Hungarians, need to take to heart. Hungary's interests won't be the same as Czechia or Slovakia or Poland's. The Visegrad Group, for example, is not a coherent axis to focus Hungarian foreign policy.

When you make assumptions based on Western civilization and history you already navigated toward the wrong direction and missed the destiny because the world is a diversified place. You are right about how America politicians think, but don’t extrapolate it on the rest of the world because colonial era is no more. That is why theory remains theory and reality may not turn out the way you predicted.

I agree. Colonizers like to think that everyone who has their capabilities would have destroyed countless countries, languages, cultures, peoples, etc. if they had the capabilities. But that's just not the case. It helps them feel better to believe this fantasy however.
