Great topic, a great speaker and a fantastic session!!! 🙌 Timeless wisdom. Even after a year, Mearsheimer's words still makes perfect sense Good one NIICE 👏 🇮🇳🤝🇳🇵
For a change, an honest to goodness discussion about geo politics. Weather one agrees 100/ cents w/ John or not is another thing. John dispensed w/ political correctness, w/c I really appreciated. Very informative. A must see video. I highly recommend it.
There is clear shift in Cold War Geo-location where Nepal is directly or indirectly under the shadow of Cold War-II (the US vs. China). Yet, Nepal has to equally leverage from all the powers (the US, China, India and others) by maintaining its relations through inclusive political interaction, partnership and cooperation or balancing and strategic-hedging since Nepal is in a system affecting position right now. Great to hear Prof. John J. Mearsheimer!
GP Acharya I think the real danger for the world will be the Indian-China competition coming at maybe 2050 when China and India become the 1st and 2nd economy in the world. For both countries have huge population and are too close to each other to feel safe.
@@张小鸽 Since, politics and Geo-politics alike are the art of relationship, it would be wise for both China and India, or the US and China to leave something concrete on the table and resolve the blistering diplomatic and trade conflicts. The great nations like China, the US and India need to see the larger landscape rather than focusing on immediate benefits, and explore their greater spirit and bigger generosity for the greater good of people, society and human kind.
There are misleadings everywhere. His lectures are always customized to each different audience to serve not just his Realism theory but also his national strategy of geopolitics. He's not so innocent and lovely as he looks like. Anyway, his rhetoric is captivating.
Wrong economic assumptions are the major weaknesses of this presentation. It is obvious that China will not be able growing with the same speed it enjoyed formerly for obvious reasons.These wrong assumptions make all the narratives about future misguided and out of the woods. The only thing true is the fact of demography and economy decline in Russia. China is simply following the same path with unknown speed.The US path may be developing in both ways further. It s the biggest unknown among 3Gs only because of potential to grow. It may be obvious that Russia and China will be survivors in their own homes, but both US wealth and US demography are trending up.
The so-called "Realistic" School of International Relations is so shallow as to not be taken seriously. This School, of which Mearsheimer is its Dean, ignores so many fundamental differences between cultures that it must ultimately fail. Take demography for example. "Realists" look only at total populations, never at demographic pyramids that sort populations by age. Even the most cursory study of China says its population will decline by approximately 500 million by 2100. It overcounted its last census by 100 million. "Realists" are not economists. They never bother to ask why certain cultures become wealthy while others fail. Differences in prosperity arise because of differences in morality which give rise to differences in behaviors that lead to differences in legal, educational, technological and even common every day interactions. Morality plays no part in the "Realists'" view of the world, so they will never understand economics. "Realists" are largely cowards. They fear what they don't understand which is just about everything. Thus, they ascribe their own fears to others. In psychology this is called projection. They imagine that others would do unto them as they would do if the roles were reversed. A good example is that "Realists" would countenance slavery as China does, if they thought they could get away with it. A lot has happened since this condescending lecture. Let's see how well Mearsheimer's projections work out. Will Putin finally roll over Ukraine? Will China manage the WuHan Red Death breakout, student protests, its debt crisis, its food and fuel crises? Will it bring Taiwan back into the CCP's loving embrace as it did with Hong Kong? Tune in for the next installment, or "Where Realists Continue to Ignore Reality and Make Even More Outlandish Predictions."
Realists are careful since the universe is infinitely complex. There's no consensus on whether China will decline or overtake USA economically, and good arguments for either case. The realist general assumption is that you can't predict the future intentions of nations so the safest thing to do is become more powerful. If you're a regional hegemon, it's in your interest to be the only regional hegemon. John got Ukraine right. Let's see if he gets Nepal right too.
Prevent other great power from becoming hegemon of their region of the world? Sorry professor, most Asian don't think or feel this way. It's not in our DNA.
Fanindra Sunuwar Obviously he thought that China has the potential will to invade its neighbors in order to earn its regional hegemony，just like America. I think he‘s wrong，not because we Chinese are nice，but simply because China’s population is so huge that unlike the US，it doesn‘t need to invade any of its neighbors to maintain its regional hegemony.

Nepal is under India’s thumb, It could be freer if it balances India with China

Judging USA at present state, self destruction or collapse is more likely.

I hope the indians become more independent of the West power and great alliance with China and another BRICS. #globalsouth

Why should Nepal help to US to contain China?
Mearsheimer didn't say that...
@@stevejurgens9836 His intention shows.

Fanindra Sunuwar Also it may be just his strategical move to divide-and-rule us Asians. Typical Anglo-Saxonian method.
