I remember a conversation with my spouse who is senior retired military officer. Conversation was about going into Iraq. Told my husband American democracy does not translate into some cultures as their ideology and democracy were not compatible. What did I know as I was just a wife standing at the stove cooking s dinner. Told him I would not vote to go into war as it would be a mistake.

In 1975 China was a “ village with four cars and we had two of them,” so said visiting Nobel Laureate. China no longer has four cars, we sent our manufacturing to China. Last year China sent a missile around the worlds over liberal Democracy’s heads. How did that work out for ya America, world? Feeling safer now. “ The wealth of a nation isn’t printing money, it’s in your factories, farms, and services provided”. You sent your technology, and the wealth of your nation to China, Bravo! Now I’ll listen to what youtube algorithms sent me.

He must have had a time machine and traveled forward from 2020 to 2022, because he is pretty much correct on every thing he said, especially the Russia and China stuff. Down with the Liberal Hegemony !!

If the US listened to this man as much as the Chinese do, they would be in a far better position right now and so would the whole world.

As someone who was involved in "attempting" to implement US foreign policy in the Middle East at various levels for three decades, I cannot find anything wrong in Dr. Mearsheimer's lecture; the US is horrible at nation building, no matter which political party sits in DC.

I was sick and tired of mass media propaganda and wanted to get the real lowdown of what exactly is happening in the world and finally found it with John’s lectures. This is a very brave man who speaks the truth regardless of any backlash.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, we in the USA saw it as the end of a threat that had shaped our policies for over forty years. It was a validation not only of our foreign policy and military spending, but of our national values. We could bury the memory of Vietnam once and for all and see ourselves as the saviors of the free world. Little wonder we couldn't resist bestowing these blessings on others.

The current situation is such a huge and powerful lesson to us all about what the true effects of US foreign policy all around the world both past and present have been, and also helps us to see more clearly than ever before, that in most cases, that when push comes to shove, most of these countries that have been encouraged to pursue liberal democracy, capitalism, joining international institutions, and to rise up against their current governments, eventually reach a point where they realize that the ´cavalry is not coming´ and that they are on their own. In the end, it is ordinary people who suffer the most. Ordinary people who just want to live peaceful lives. So much pain and sufffering. It is truly tragic.

18:20 I respect Prof. Mearsheimer's perspective deeply, however, the statement he makes "What the United States had done in the first half of the 20th century is it had defeated fascism", it is this American exceptionalism that really blinds the people and politicians of the U.S. from acknowledging that the world was not actually unipolar like the Americans had imagined, even during WW2, and after. The Soviet Union (of which Russia was the major part of) was also equally involved in defeating fascism--just going by the sheer human cost (military and civilian)--the USSR actually put down the larger share of that down payment towards creating a peaceful world without the Nazis dictating terms, which is in no modest estimates--even if you look at it from the U.S. perspective--something we should ignore at the risk of insulting the value of those human lives lost, and the people those losses represent. It is fact. It is this exceptionalism that had blinded and misguided the U.S. foreign policy for decades. Perhaps things would have been very different if Henry Wallace was not deliberately sidelined, despite having large support for running for office, or if John F. Kennedy was not taken out. "And no nation in the history of battle ever suffered more than the Soviet Union suffered in the course of the Second World War. At least 20 million lost their lives. Countless millions of homes and farms were burned or sacked. A third of the nation's territory, including nearly two thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland--a loss equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago." -President John F. Kennedy (Washington, D.C. June 10, 1963) "I have left the obvious, essential fact to this point, namely, that it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army. In the air and on the oceans we could maintain our place, but there was no force in the world which could have been called into being, except after several more years, that would have been able to maul and break the German army unless it had been subjected to the terrible slaughter and manhandling that has fallen to it through the strength of the Russian Soviet Armies." -Winston Churchill, Speech in the House of Commons, 2 August 1944, “War Situation” and "I have always believed and I still believe that it is the Red Army that has torn the guts out of the filthy Nazis. -Winston Churchill, Speech in the House of Commons, October 1944 And this is not just a matter of what Churchill believed. It is an historical fact.

1:21:55 As a Brit, him saying 'Europe is basically a giant museum' is very much a 'never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with' moment!

As a historian, Professor Mearsheimer has a profound understanding of political strategies, and where their consequences can lead to.

" .. to turn afganistan into liberal democracy..." could be considered as one of the best jokes ever said. The tragedy is instead, that it has been one of the main goals of the foreign policy of USA, during its unipolar reign. My respects to the professor!!

I was extremely against the war in Iraq and didn’t even need a uni degree to see the insanity of it…

Definitely can't imagine the Russians and the Americans on the same side. The states has pushed them far away, specially this last week. Putin said "they should have treated Russia as a friend" SO TRUE. Putin always knows what he's talking about.

The lectures of this professor are remarkable. He is very well informed and realistic as he often says. The way he is talking really keeps my attention. 📚📚👌🏻👏🏻

Professor Mearsheimer is one of those rare individuals who both sees clearly and honestly describes what he sees.

Don't get me wrong, he had plenty of detractors before, but I feel like Mearsheimer was cast by some agendas as a fringe nut in the US over the last decade because of his domestic policy stances (addressing social and income inequality, endorsing Sanders, etc). I hate that it seems to have taken the Ukrainian-Russian conflict to spark it, but I'm glad to see people not just discovering him, but learning more about international relations in general. EDIT: thanks for validating my hunches all agendas who replied

I wish every American, Ukrainian and Russian would listen to this lecture. Whenever anyone has a question about my homeland, I send them a link to this video, "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault", and to "Ukraine on Fire" documentary by Oliver Stone. Too sad that most of that info is very unlikely to appear on any main stream media.

I am glad I discovered this great thinker! I am even gladder that I did, after arriving to understanding the issues on my own. I remember what my Professor of Philosophy and Pedagogy stated in one of his great lectures. "It doesn't matter whether it is only one person in the great majority to be correct." This man reminds me so much of my dear Professor Stella! The professor who chose to teach in an Institute for girls because in his words, "When you educate girls, you educate whole families." I was so fortunate to be one of those girls!

A old saying goes, if you want everything you will end with nothing but trouble. This man sat down and saw what others couldn't see standing. Thank you for this very beautiful teaching.

I have some of Prof Mearsheimer’s books - but nothing really touches on the sheer enthusiasm and engagement he brings to the subjects he writes about when giving a talk, or engages on with others on a panel. It's a great pity these sorts of lectures are not seen by far wider than they have been. I do note that some of his commentary regarding Ukraine in past lectures has brought a lot of people to check him out, and that's (as far as I'm concerned) great. His views are engaging, challenging and far more deeply insightful than what many will instead spend hours, days and weeks consuming from a lot more "acceptable" people, those who will doubtless tell them essentially what they want to hear, but in reality will present no real challenging questions to far, far more impactful and deeper questions - those concerning where we might really be headed with this terminal adventurism we all seem caught up in thanks to the way geopolitics has worked out, wrapped up as it all so very much is in this, "the Great Delusion".

To many comments criticizing professor Measheimer below : In order to fully comprehend professor Measheimer's arguments, you need to start with his previous book "The tragedy of great power politics." He is not defending any mistakes made by U.S. in the past. Being a realist, he is just point out that there are some inevitabilities and contradictions between the real and idealist world.

For the love of all that is good, I hope the American public wakes up and listens to people like Mearsheimer. Really not trying to get incinerated in a nuclear war here.

Great lecture. I wish he had spoken about the Military Industrial Complex that actually drives American foreign policy so that America is a fighting 1:1:2:4 wars at all times. Engage in four fronts, fight intensely in two fronts so that the war industry keeps thriving.

I think it's great to hear things explained in a manner that doesn't leave everyone saying that he's or the WE'RE pro outin simply by recognizing the faults of our (North American) foreign policies

How well he had predicted Ukraine crisis and the US reaction to it. Fascinating learnt about Liberal democratic zealousness amongst the Western political elites. Actually quite gobsmacked at their ignorant insistance on perusing their ideology at any cost. Thank you professor! However, one country was missing from this new axis of power. Iran has big ambitions for the West of Asia and isn't going to be pushed away.

What a fantastic speaker , I find myself looking for and watching every lecture available featuring professor Mearsheimer..thank you for a much better understanding of how this world works

This aged well. Here in March 2022, 3 years later. Everything hes saying is 100% correct.

Wow this guy gets it. I have been thinking along the same lines for a while now but I find this way of thinking can be polarizing when voiced out in the US due to lack of education about world history and current affairs in certain schools/areas, the regional bubble effect, and prevalent US centric views (partly influenced and reinforced by certain media outlets). So it's refreshing to hear this unabashed analysis coming from a well spoken professor, confirming some conclusions I've reached from my amateur explorations.

so refreshing listening to someone talk about Obama, Trump etc without namecallings and using sentences like ”worst president ever” etc Listening to academics really broadens ones horizon.

Thank you for this excellent speech Prof John is a an excellent orator and imparts wisdom wherever he goes - bravo!

A big love and respect to this brilliant person from Russia . His lectures were vital for me in this difficult period of my life .

I fully agree with Mearsheimer in terms of all of his assertions about the failures of liberal hegemony, but I think it's important to point out that any great power put in the same position would behave in much the same way - spread its influence, grow its power, rinse and repeat. Maybe humanity needs to realize the failure of that way of thinking in more general terms, rather than as a particular manifestation or feature of the West. It is a feature of power and whomever holds it - make the others more like yourself and you'll be stronger and safer. I feel like this human feature is more at the core of this behaviour than any particular type of government, ie: liberal democracies. Liberal democracy is only the hegemonic force it is because of the results of former conflicts and events that placed it in a position of power.

One aspect of this that is rarely acknowledged nor integrated into discussions like this is that the USA, Russia and China cannot fight direct open wars against each other. It is a doomsday scenario that all 3 recognize on some level but I am not so sure their citizens and proxy allies do. It is the gorilla in the room. Yes, there definitely was this unipolar period when the USA was (and still is) the most powerful country in the world but military hegemony has its limits when dealing with these other superpowers. I agree with much of what Mearsheimer but also believe that these countries now have have far more critical economic “skin in the game” today than they did 3 decades ago this should be a moderating force so long as American hawks don’t continue going around poking the bears beyond tipping points.

I have rarely seen this guy on mainstream news channels. He is so on point about many issues. Speaks volumes about quality of modern journalism.

The flaw in Mearsheimer's analysis is that the modern U$A is not, if it ever was, liberal or a democracy. We are a plutocratic oligarchy. Unipolarity was and is the means for expansion of the insenate greed of our elites.

The fact that the liberal hegemony agenda is facing severe roadblocks in the global situation is an extremely good thing.

It's really nice to hear a political science major telling the truth....extremely rare, especially these days. We may differ slightly in our views but I have great respect for his work. It's kind of hilarious how he so clearly articulates the fears that "liberal democrats" live by. Spot on. Why do you think they're always silencing anyone who even questions them? Why do you think they accuse all political opponents of trying to subvert "our democracy" (we are a Constitutional Republic with democratic elections...democracy as primary governance is mob rule by majority)? They target their own people in the name of the "bettering society". That's not liberalism. If anything, it's a warped form of democracy that is more akin to authoritarian totalitarianism than anything else.

I love the way he answered the questions. He always gave you a bigger picture or the dynamics under-spinning the situations before giving the true answers. Agree with him or not, you always learn something.

A rational male, who calls it how he sees it. Bloody impressive.

Clearly after 1991, “The West” took Arthur Jensen’s famous speech from the 1976 movie “Network” and based an entire foreign policy on it. BTW, who remembers that famous early 90s saying: “The Cold War is over and Japan won!” A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Never discovered this fine professor until the Ukraine crisis!

It's wonderful to see such great academics understanding and predicting so deeply and accurately. They are the true wealth of a nation.

"Liberals care deeply about individual rights" is one of the biggest lies I've ever heard.

So refreshing to get an educated, in depth view & theory vs. mainstream media’s sensational, leading agendas. Thank you Sir!

it's amazing how spot on he is and how this still applies 2yrs later

On the other hand a once Slavic religous country like the Ukraine which was the hub of Orthodox Christianity since 988 and had very pious country folk who went to church religiously build more churches and monasteries, attracted monastics and enjoyed their simple way of life. My parents were from their. But they considered themselves Russian, spoke Russian, Ukrainian at the time of my late Father who was born in Kiev, went to military school and traveled to St Petersburg every summer as part of his military duties and never thought that it will become USSR. Marxism took hold and my parents fled to Germany. Make a long story short, the Ukraine was completely destroyed by nazis and western style religions. In order to have them be palatable all kinds of incentives were offered and Western Europeans started to bring their liberal views and watered-down rdligous practices realizing their great horticultural assets and bringing with them their baggage. Western permiscious behavior began to take hold, then America started using it for their storage labs and setting up a liberal government supporting unexpected immoral behavior that was once foreign to Ukraine, U-Kraina meaning literally @-the border. People were integrated by using western cross dressing, vulgar entertainment and money pouring in. Need i say more? The west enjoined this behavior, young people all of a sudden found the forbidden fruit and you have a country that lost its pious ways. Ad to that what was happening in the eastern parts by fascist elements left over from nazi times that the west did not want to report on. When cries for help were directed to churches, more persecutions were happening. Instead of Kiev listening they ignored these cries and continued to support non-Canonical churches and our Orthodox Christians were more than ever persecuted. Luansk and Danetsk and were overrun by Nazis and women and girls were assaulted. The local anti-orthodox government did not help so they turned first to Belarus and thdn to Putin who for years asked for years to uphold the signed treaties but the ukr nazis did not pay attention, neither did the government that was getting funding & money and all kinds of narcotics into the market place. Terrorism reigned in parts of Eastern Ukr were thousends were fleeing to monasteries safer grounds. It got so bad where Putin was going to sent specialized forces to these areas to free them but the west including US started had other plants and caused something they created, killed and destroyed areas of Russian Citizens who lived their for generations. The West with their Nato expansion, EU and US caused the war. It is our Nation building and our warmongers who are responsible. Putin did not cause this horrific loss of Life. But we don’t care about that, we left American Citizens behind in Afghanistan, we kill babies at home and devalued the human being. Life is not sacred for us. Thank you for your valuable lectures. I enjoyed your presentation and the lectures from Col Richard Black very much. I wish our government would take heed.

Guy makes it sound like every move the US has ever made has been a colossal blunder.

Two years ago, and he laid it all out. Poor Ukraine. We "encouraged" them to pursue a future that was ultimately a tragic one.

I agree about 80% to 90% with Mearsheimer. He is a "Great Power" when it comes to political analysis/ political science/ foreign policy, etc. etc. and essentially very accurately predicted this current Ukraine crisis/ Russian Invasion.

I am economist from Poland currently living in UK and I must say that I really love prof Mearsheimer books and lectures however as a critic of liberal democracies invented by US he is not seeing full picture of the problem, simply because his mind is embedded in this culture from childhood. To have better view you need to look at the problem from outside. By the end of XVIII century there was a man in Scotland name Adam Smith who preached free market economy to the world. I was fascinated with his books during my studies in 1980's and 1990's but after 2000 I have seen come articles in British economical press that his real aim was to promote British manufactured products to specially European market, which was quite closed for imports. British market has plenty of unsold manufacture products (textiles, household, machinery) and they were looking for ways to sell it in exchange for food products who were in shortage . So the real aim of Adam Smith was purely nationalistic !!! only a little bit liberal. The same problem is with American (and Canadian) liberal democracy. Behind the scenes it is undercover nationalistic policy, which want to spread American national (!) hegemony over the world. In Poland it was clearly visible after 2000 that consecutive Polish governments are American puppet regimes who give preferences to American and Western companies even at the cost of pauperisation of Polish population. If Poland would be real liberal democracy it would follow profit and gain policy not favouring American compamies who in most cases sold second grade technical equipment to Poland with 100% profit. So the aim of American so called liberal democracy policy in other countries in fact is only installing puppet regimes in other countries so that they could sell American products with high margin. I think the Chineese discovered this policy very clearly and they want to continue to develop liberal policies in world trade but because they are gaining more in trade with the world than USA, nationalists in USA cannot agree on it and preach war with China. I am convinced that if US would be sincere in implementing real liberal democracy in the world it would be no problem, but the version of liberal democracy they want to promote is in fact HIDDEN AMERICAN NATIONALISM, not very far from autocracies in reality. So sonner or later so called liberal democracy in Poland will fail , same as in other countries because more and more people there are seeing now full picture of the deceipt. UKposts is banning liberal TV channels in Poland who are telling the truth, democratic leaders are imprisoned with false accusations, there is emerging censorship in press similar to that during soviet times, and Polish army is buying US military equipment with 50% margin comparing to prices sold elsewhere. Is it liberal democracy? Not at all, this is hidden nationalistic american policy , nothing more than that.

I am happy to find contents with Prof John J Mearsheimer speaking the truths. As an Indonesian, I need to know more about global politics. I don’t speak good English but I can understand what you are saying. Thank you Sir for giving me great informations!! I will find your recents talk on Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Whenever I delude myself about being knowledgeable, I run into a John Mearsheimer who is intelligent and eloquent. I sit, listen, and appreciate such rare brains. This is brilliant.

"There is no such cruelty or such wickedness that an otherwise mild and liberal government would not commit when it runs out of money. " Alexis de Tocqueville, The Ancient Regime and the Revolution

Never tired of listening to this Prof. Kohn Mearshimer talk. He is an amazing scholar.

I could listen to this man 24 hours a day

This professor speaks common sense. I can't believe that this isn't more accepted as fact.

I thought political science is pure academic; John proves me wrong and his talk is really visionary.

What a great lecture. It´s so sad American voters don´t listen much to people like him

Crusader State, that's what I feel about America! In the old medieval England, people were singing "bring me my bow of burning gold, bring me my arrows of desire... till we have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land", beautiful! And I realize that modern American has that similar mindset - bring me tanks, bring me guns, I want to sow the seeds of democracy all over the world. The level of bravery and idealism is consistent. But there's a difference like the difference between David and Goliath. When a David think this way, it's beautiful and it gives people hope. But when a Goliath inherit this spirit, it's frightening.

Omg, imma bout to cry… it’s so amazing to hear what I’ve been saying in drunken rages anywhere I could for the past 20 years put so eloquently by this educated man…

This man knows what he is talking about and has the courage and integrity to speak loudly.

I'm an antiwar, anti American imperialism person. I appreciated Mearsheimer's speech given 7 years ago where he warned and fully explained how the US led NATO was making a big mistake in pushing for Ukraine entrance into NATO and should not be arming them against Russia. I mistakenly thought that he would be an ally to the antiwar movement but after seeing this speech I realize I was wrong. I found out that he instead is pushing for a war with China. He reveals that he was in the military for 10 years during the Viet Nam war. I wonder how he didn't learn from that war experience that wars are evil especially in the slaughter of innocent civilians. The US can't even win in small countries let alone taking on a super power. I was also disappointed to learn that he is a member of a think tank funded by the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson's widow. I think remaining an independent college professor would allow him to be untouched by big money agendas. I notice he never mentions the CIA, or the fact that we all live under a constant state of surveillance. He states that the duopoly political parties are very powerful but totally ignores those in Washington who hold the real power no matter which party is in office at the moment, He also ignores the MSM which propagandizes all the time.

He makes me want to go back to college and take his class

The major problem with a unipolar world is that the hegemonic state ceases to have a barrier against fantasy thinking.that brought about the Bush doctrine and much subsequent US policy. But one aspect of US actions has been the economic exploitation of nations who subjected to US intervention.

The key point missing from this talk is the unquenchable thirst for power, pride and prestige of humanity. This will always exist, it will just be obtained and held by fewer and fewer in the elite power structure that is being reset on a global stage.

Finally someone telling the truth. But it's the social democracy that will save the world.

To anyone attempting to watch this, and thinking something in the line of "omg how can you defend Putin's invasion, let's see what kind of conspiracy theory and russian propaganda this guy is spreading" To you i say: I've been there. Sadly. I fully understand. I was very shocked and had a strong emotional reaction about what happened in late February, and i was upset to see any kind of hint that maybe the west has some responsibility in the causes of this conflict. I can only encourage you to watch Johns analysis and theory, and decide for yourself if it makes sense. I certainly experienced a profound feeling of betrayal and being fed bs by many politicians and mainstream media. It is a complex matter, and needs some "work" to understand, and i would really recommend to watch John Mearsheimers "The Great Delusion" here on youtube for some background. It certainly made me truly see the "big picture" for the first time and i can now understand how the geopolitical world works better than ever before. If you are able to push through your own bias and really watch it, i hope the reality shock doesn't hit you too hard, and welcome to the club i guess..

The idea that "liberal democracies" hardly ever violate human rights is so funny hahaha.

9:05 "As you all know ... because Canada's a thoroughly liberal country ... liberals care greatly about individual rights". The barely-concealed sarcasm as he delivers this line ... the man must own a time machine.

Nationalisms, tribalism, traditionalism, the strongest ideologies for humanity, because it’s an evolutionary benefit. It holds society together and flourish.

Excellent! How ironic that Professor Mearsheimer would have been considered a "liberal" in the Sixties vis-a-vis Vietnam! However, unlike latter day liberals, his position remains consistent and in accordance with what he sees as America's role in the world.

I agree with everything Professor Mearsheimer is talking about except the fact that from the very beginning it was a desire to create a liberal world where there is no war and no human rights violations. To get everyone hooked on capitalism yes, but to make this world a better place......I very very much doubt it. I think the core reason for that was greed. Greed for power, money, control. This is quiet evident from our Government's both Domestic Policy and Foreign Policy. Still, love his lectures!

Can’t trust CNN ,Fox or any other news channels…so to get real political analysis I listen to these university lectures.

I love John's passion on this topic.. i could watch him all day

Isn't it PURE JOY to hear someone else than mainstream media? Who KNOWS what he's talking about? Who's NOT following an agenda? Who has a CLEAR view and is very SMART?

How could remaking the world in your own image go wrong? 😂

john j Mearsheimer is the proof that there ARE smart people that makes sense of a lot of thoughts.... Thanks to him now i'm schooled sensibly more

His lecture from 2015, "Why Ukraine is the West's fault", he talks about this, too..and he's 99% spot on, then and now..

From Russia 🇷🇺 with Love ---- WE LOVE THIS MAN 👍

I cannot believe that after all of the great political science speakers I have heard I am finally hearing this great man. Thank you.

I have also just discovered John and I cant get enough. I normally get bored easily when it comes to lectures, podcasts etc but hes simply an amazing lecturer, oh how I wish I had a teacher like that when I was in school.

I wonder what the Aboriginal Canadians would say about their experience with Canada’s Liberal Democracy?

As I age, my respect on the US is rapidly declining.

Man is brilliant, just thing how better the world 🌎 would be, if we had listened to him. All the people who have died, and all our brave men and women who have been sacrificed.

Aha!, when Mr Lee Kuan Yew was asked , " why he choosen political science as his major during his younger day," and he replied ," policies which politicians champion and put into force have enormous impact on peoples' lives . " Here again, glad to hear what on this honorable gentleman dissemination, on world order, how it came about, what would be likely next, and also get know some new vocabularies as well. Thank you, sir.

Even more impressive is that this is from two years ago. He's been proven right on the bulk of his various theses.

I am glad I can get the correct perspective on geopolitics, thanks Professor JJ Mearsheimer!

This man is absolutely brilliant. Unemotive, honest and factual

I’m Chinese and I was scrolling to see what Westerners think about the Ukraine situation and found John. Finally someone who is not afraid to sympathize with the US’s competitors (rather than an enemy I hope), and hopefully our leaders all make the good decisions and do not choose to go to war ;)

One thing I think Mearsheimer gives too much credit for is that we want people to join the liberal hegemonic order to protect human rights. I think the low level CIA case officer may think like this but I do not think the ruling class care about it other than as a ploy to more easily manipulate the masses. It's about power and money. No one can claim that holding people in solitary confinement for trespassing or calling your domestic opponents terrorists and cutting them off from basic services is not a violation of human rights.

He's spot on the war in Ukraine and the first time I discovered since the beginning of this war in Ukraine

Great lecture. Better than the older "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault", which doesn't include this full overview of US liberal hegemony doctrine. On Libya, Mearsheimer forgets to mention that it was France under Pdt Sarkozy that drove this fateful intervention and convinced the US to provide air surveillance and coordination support for the air strikes. The intervention was clearly going against Obama's policy, and he only accepted that the US play a limited supporting role, which he called "leading from behind."

I've only discovered John but he is saying exactly what I've been saying for years. John is 100% correct.

As usual, Prof. John J. Mearsheimer brilliant, illustrious and eloquent. I take my hat off and say I would like to see him more often in the media for that still pending task of unraveling the masochistic masses from their ignorance fed by certain sectors and remind them that with lies, improvisation and biased policies we will not go anywhere.

Nailed it on every level. A lot of people don't understand the ideology of the belief systems.

Great insights. I wonder how many people who warm the seats at the United Nations, NATO, Ambassadors, and US DoD have read these many wonderful books? Based on their conduct we see today especially Ukraine, it does not appear they have read any of these books or listened to his many wonderful distinguished speeches 🤪

Why don't we hear more from this man ? He's a genius..

This man is very intelligent and my Respect for him. What surprises me the most is that the general American People didn’t know about these? I mean cone on this is a general Coffee Talk in most Asean Nations and in General Asia. 😳😳

The amount of dedication and passion for his country deeply reflects on his ill feelings towards foreign policy. An extraordinary citizen.
