Good to hear an establishment academic tell the truth about U.S. foreign policy. Notably, he was in the military during the war against Viet-Nam and knows why that war was unjust. Considering U.S. antagonism toward China re: Hong Kong and Taiwan, - sure hope the war-hawks don't overplay their hand and bring us another missile crisis while trying to ''put China in it's place''
Mearsh was a terrible student at West Point. The Army didn't want him, so he went to the Air Force and did nothing for five years. Now that he has tenure in a nothing study area at a compromised university (I am a grad of that institution myself), he is just so pleased with himself that he's barely continent. Unlike the "Mearsh", a lot of us who actually played in foreign relations and military matters have kept things reasonably safe for decades. He, on the other hand, just yaks and pays no price. That's why he plays to the anti-freedom, anti-american goofball kids of today. He really loves those Commies and Bernie Sanders, but he'll settle for the Obamas and the O'Bidens as long as they are against America and morality. Those values have no meaning to Mearsh. Mearsh is despicable, and he forgets who attacked whom on 9/11/2001. Have any of you seen Mearsh on his other vids? He claims that he is most comfortable when he's in China with his "real people."
The whole interview was riveting, and thank you for making it. I thought the initial question about whether anything in his childhood led him to international relations was absolutely masterful though.
Thanks, Poems! We are always glad when an insightful person such as Dr. Mearsheimer takes time to talk with us. Glad too for Dr. Macosko and his daughter, who have done such a great job with interviews.
I agree with much of what Mearshimer says but he doesn’t give enough credit to Trump for turning things around. Had Trump been re-elected in 2020 things would be better in America now and I think Mearshimer might be somewhat kinder in his opinion of Trump.
@@followyourbliss973 (and Peter), you might be right about Prof. Mearsheimer, but I will say that he and Prof. Stephen Walt from Harvard were the two most Trump-positive political scientists I interviewed.

A more informed and clearer-thinking public would be less susceptible to Russian disinformation. And yes, Citizens United is a grave danger to democracy.

I absolutely agree with Professor John J. Mearsheimer because he has proved what he has argued in this books and interviews. For instance, first, I also believe that the US made a great mistake in its foreign policy in the 1990s, especially in the expansion of NATO toward Russia's border. Second, in the post-9/11 era, the US unnecessarily invaded Iraq, though I believe that the US did a great job in the invasion of Afghanistan because it managed the UN consent to invade Afghanistan for a regime change. Third, the various colour revolutions in East Europe and Asia did not help the US to obtain its objectives. For instance, the interferences in Syria and Libya made the situation complicated because it displaced millions of peoples who took shelter in various European allied states. This displeased many allied countries. Conversely, fourth, China took the opportunity of the liberal hegemony (!) to increase its economic power as well as political power across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Therefore, the US under former President Donald Trump changed its foreign and domestic policy, especially America First. The incumbent Biden Administration has no choice but the containment of China because a superpower like the US cannot expect a peer competitor. As a result, finally, I would say that Professor Mearsheimer is the living legend in contemporary world politics. For his outstanding contributions, he may also be called as a living Thucydides.
Wow, Morad! Thank you for this great comment summarizing the things about this interview that you felt were particularly true. Your contribution to this discussion section is much appreciated!
Professor Jed, did YOU hear what John Mearsheimer said regarding Trump’s stance on altering the long-standing policy of liberal hegemony? It seemed that your snickering at the mention of Trump may have prevented actual hearing from taking place. I heard that essentially, Trump was right to try to fight the orthodoxy on this policy. I agree that his execution left a lot to be desired…. But can you also concede that an extremely biased academia and media MAY have impacted the execution? I am not a wild eyed Trump zealot by any means.But I do think he rightfully challenged many things that needed to be challenged. Thank you for you for your interview with John Mearsheimer!
Yeah the Prof was an aspiring actor too!! If I'm not mistaken he's the character in Troy with Brad Pitt.... remember the huge fighter in a one on one fight at the beginning of the story??😂😂 Yeah that's him that got stabbed by Achilles in the shoulder.😂😂😂
Another way of expressing this central message might be that a county's gag response usually kicks in when another country tries to force a political system down their throats. They instinctively feel their sovereignty is being threatened.
realdemocracy11, this is true. All people are resistant to the unfamiliar, sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. We always expect people to act the way we act and think the way we think, and this just does not go as expected-but we should never be surprised it doesn't.
John Mearsheimer is a liberal hegemon whithout a peer competitor, with no security threat in the region - no others to roam into the backyard. ... Stay well. Peace. Eleonora Formato née Szczepanowski South Australia
I would love to hear Prof Mearsheimer discuss Russian influence in US politics that began even prior to WW2. Many of these hot button issues changed the course of previous elections and were advantageous to the left. I've heard it postulated that Putin, believed that as Sec of State, Hillary made statements intended to swing the Russian election, and that's why Russia used their influence on behalf of Trump in 2016, rather than follow their traditional course
George, Mearsheimer is likely in big demand right now, but following up with him when he's available is something we will look into. Thank you for watching. Tell your likeminded friends about us!
I think it would have been unpopular in the US for Kennedy to admit that he only got the Cuban missiles removed by a quid-pro-quo. Kennedy probably wanted to be seen as the tough guy that was able to just scare away the Cuban missiles.
because under endless political debate from both sides, the only way not to get any criticism is not making any compromise. Think about it, this system encourages leaders to make no compromise (read: "civil negotiation"), or lie about it.
Because the Americans believed that their country is in Europe for the europeans and not for Americans own benefits.Taking those missiles out of turkey meant US considers its own safety as more important than the broken (at the time) Europe.
Mearsheimer as a policy expert naturally assumes that historical events are largely directed by policy choices. So, the American announcement of permanent war must be driven by policy objectives such as exporting American democracy. The problem with that theory is that American actions show very little interest in actually democratic practices in the foreign targets of our largesse. An alternative theory is that American policy choices have been captured by the war constituency, i.e. the military-industrial complex, for whom perpetual war is the summum bonum. This theory is supported by the obvious fact that the Americans demonstrably care little about the condition of our foreign democracy projects once we are ready to abandon them. But in the meantime trillions of tax dollars have been shovelled to the war constituency. Economics matter more than the theories of foreign policy.
I can't remember if I mistakenly used this word or if Prof. Mearsheimer did. I'm really sorry if it was me, and I'm sure Prof. Mearsheimer would be equally sorry if it was him. Either way, thank you so much for educating me on this important point!

President Juarez from Mexico pronounced in 1867 that: Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace !!!! Later, after more than 100 years, the individuals and the nations do not understand such meaningful words.
He lost me when he said he wasn’t sure whether or not Putin is lying re: election interference. But I find it interesting to hear a different perspective.
You DO know where the accusations of this 'interference' came from, right? The credibility of the US intel community is none too good at the moment. At the same time, Obama (inadvertently) ADMITTED that he 'brokered' the 2014 Ukraine coup. You can stay 'lost' or you can start facing the truth.
