Despite the rhetoric, US President Donald Trump will not be able to ethnically cleanse Gaza nor resolve the Ukraine war, argues University of Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer tells host Steve Clemons that Arab governments fear “the risk of being overthrown by their populations” should they bend to Trump's desire to “clean out” the Palestinian people in Gaza. On Ukraine, Mearsheimer predicts a “frozen conflict” without a peace treaty, and warns that Trump should stop “slapping around” US allies if he wants their cooperation in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Mới đây, chuyên mục Thinker's Teatime của Guancha.cn đã kết nối với Mearsheimer để bàn luận về hành vi “lý tính” của Đức và Nhật Bản trong chiến tranh, “quyết sách lý tính” trong việc mở rộng NATO về phía Đông và thúc đẩy bá quyền tự do của Mỹ cùng tương lai của mối quan hệ Trung Quốc-Mỹ.

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews Recorded: 12-11-24 On this edition of Parallax Views, J.G. reached out to a very interesting political analyst in his continued coverage of the situation in Syria with the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the ascendancy of the Islamist HTS led by Abu Muhammed al-Jolani. Graham E. Fuller specializes in long-range forecasting of geopolitics. In fact, Fuller is a former vice chair of the National Intelligence Council at CIA responsible for long-term forecasting. He also served as a CIA operations officer overseas for two decades, with much of his time being spent in the Middle East. He served as the CIA Station Chief in Kabul and is the author of such books as A World Without Islam (2010) and The Future of Political Islam (2003). He is a noted analyst on Islamist movements and continues to write extensively on issues pertaining to U.S. foreign policy, the Middle East, and geopolitics. Graham joined me for a conversation about Assad's overthrow and what it means for various geopolitical players including the U.S. Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the Gulf states. We ended up having a more broad discussion that led into many different areas including: - Explaining the phenomena that has come to be known as "Political Islam" sans the tabloid clickbait that has unfortunately something attended the non-academic literature on the topic - Graham's critique of John Mearsheimer's Realist school of thought in regards to international relations. Graham believes there is great value in Mearsheimer's analysis, but makes the case that Realism as a school of thought is too often mechanistic and deterministic in how it perceives the course of geopolitical trends - The U.S.'s endless "Search for Enemies" and the consequences that approach to foreign policy creates, in relation to, for example, the U.S.-China relationship - The question of HTS and its leader Abu Muhammed al-Jolani; how will the govern?; HTS's administration of Idlib; how al-Jolani is, in the immediate, approaching the West and Israel - Israel and Turkey's strikes in Syria; Turkey's geopolitical concerns over the Kurds in Syria; the far-right elements that have been unleashed in Israel, especially since the October 7th, 2023 attack and how that effects both Israel and the Middle East more broadly - And much, much more!

Ein Standpunkt von Jochen Mitschka.Heute möchte ich mal von der chronologischen Beschreibung des Krieges im Nahen Osten eine Pause machen und über ein Buch berichten, welches ich in der deutschen Übersetzung gerade bearbeite. Der Originaltitel lautet „The Fall of Israel“, der Autor ist Dan Steinbock. Dan schafft es in einem Buch mit etwas über 400 Seiten die gesamte Geschichte des Konfliktes rund um Israel und Palästina geschichtlich aufzudröseln. Und es ist besonders spannend, weil er einen Teil der Protagonisten persönlich kennt. Wer auch nur annähernd einen Einblick in die vielen angesprochenen Punkte erhalten wollte, musste bisher dutzende von Büchern, und dann noch meist in Englisch, wälzen. Dan schafft es aber, trotz Komprimierung und Weglassung von Details, den richtigen und wichtigen Eindruck zu vermitteln, der die Geschichte und die Gegenwart, für manche vermutlich plötzlich, begreifbar machen. Und so versteht man, dass wichtige nicht korrumpierte Stimmen, von Mearsheimer, über Pappé bis zu Menschenrechtsexperten und Historikern, sich in Lob überschlagen.Ich möchte hier mitten hinein greifen in die Texte und als Beispiel die Geschichte des UN-Vermittlers Graf Folke Bernadotte als Beispiel anbieten. Ein Mann, der während des 2. Weltkrieges die Freilassung von etwa 450 dänischen Juden und mehr als 30.000 nichtjüdischen Gefangenen aus Theresienstadt, dem Konzentrationslager der Nazis, ausgehandelt hatte. Und der mit der Aufgabe betreut war, eine Lösung für das Problem des Konfliktes zu finden, der durch die von den Kolonialstaaten ermöglichte unkontrollierten Einwanderung von Zionisten und den sich dagegen sträubenden indigenen Palästinensern ergeben hatte.Das Präludium zu den ewigen Kriegen - Im Tal der HölleAm 17. September, einen Tag nach der Abgabe seines zweiten Berichts, war Bernadotte auf dem Weg nach Jerusalem. Nachdem er eine Nacht in Syrien verbracht hatte, verließ er Damaskus am Morgen, um zum Flughafen Qalandia in Jerusalem zu fliegen. Trotz vorheriger Warnungen vor möglichen Anschlägen landete Bernadotte ohne Zwischenfälle. Nach einem Besuch in Ramallah kehrte der Konvoi nach Jerusalem zurück. In diesen frühen Tagen reisten 368 UN-Mitarbeiter unbewaffnet. Da sie die Welt repräsentierten, würde die UN-Flagge sie schützen. Doch kurz hinter Qalandia wurden sie aus kurzer Entfernung beschossen und ein Projektil traf ein Hinterrad.Bernadotte saß auf dem Rücksitz zwischen seinem Stabschef, General Åge Lundström, und dem französischen Oberst André Sérot. Sérot hatte seinen Platz in der Wagenkolonne getauscht, um sich Bernadotte anzuschließen und ihm persönlich dafür zu danken, dass er das Leben seiner Frau in einem deutschen Konzentrationslager gerettet hatte. Bunche sollte Bernadotte in Jerusalem treffen, von wo aus sie den neuen Teilungsvorschlag der UN-Generalversammlung vorlegen wollten. Aufgrund von Verzögerungen konnte Bunche den Treffpunkt in Jerusalem nicht rechtzeitig erreichen. Sérot nahm seinen Platz neben dem Grafen ein. Sie waren an Störungen gewöhnt. Nur wenige Wochen zuvor waren sie auf die Anti-Bernadotte-Demonstration der Sternisten gestoßen, die den Weg zum belgischen Konsulat versperrte (Abbildung 11-2).Trotz der Drohungen stieß Bernadottes Konvoi dieses Mal auf keine Demonstrationen. Als die Männer begannen, sich zu entspannen, begann der große Chrysler, das letzte Fahrzeug des Dreierkonvois, seine letzte Fahrt die schmale Straße hinauf durch das von Juden bewohnte Viertel Katamon in Richtung Rehavia und dem Haus des Militärgouverneurs von Jerusalem...... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/der-untergang-israels-von-jochen-mitschka/ Hosted on Acast.

Professor John J. Mearsheimer is widely regarded as one of the most influential political scientists in history. I like to refer to him as the “rockstar of geopolitics.” The professor at the Universtiy of Chicago is known for his bold and often provocative views rooted in offensive realism. Mearsheimer argues that great powers are locked in an endless struggle for dominance, shaping global politics through competition and conflict. In this interview, we bring Mearsheimer to Berlin to explore his insights on today's most pressing issues. We delve into the crucial questions defining our world right now: Which U.S. president would best handle current geopolitical tensions, and why is the U.S. seemingly uninterested in pursuing peace in Ukraine? Mearsheimer shares his take on the growing anti-establishment sentiment in the West, Germany's evolving role in international politics, and the serious possibility of World War III and nuclear conflict. We also cover the dynamics of the Israel-Gaza conflict, why Israel might want U.S. involvement in a conflict with Iran, and the implications of BRICS in a multipolar world. Wrapping up, he offers candid reflections on his career as a renowned professor, providing a rare look into the mind of a geopolitical icon.

On October 8, the Boris Kagarlitsky International Solidarity Campaign held an online conference on “Boris Kagarlitsky and the Challenges of the Left.” Although Kagarlitsky is serving a five-year sentence in a Russian penal colony, he has just published a book called The Long Retreat: Strategies to Reverse the Decline of the Left. The conference addressed Kagarlitsky's wide-ranging analysis of the left's dilemmas in the face of multiple global crises, including the rise of right-wing authoritarianism. We will bring the whole conference to Jacobin Radio with a stellar lineup of international scholars and activists.Today we hear the panel “Imperialism(s) Today,” looking at the nature of imperialism historically and in the present. Robert Brenner begins with the theory of imperialism from before WWI through the post-war period and up to the present, essentially arguing that in the present period of American hegemony, imperialism is the weapon of weaker powers. Ilya Matveev follows by examining three theorists of imperialism—Lenin, Schumpeter, and Mearsheimer—and looks at the Russian case through the lens of their different theories. Hanna Perekhoda, originally from Donetsk in the contested Donbas region, examines Putin's view of Ukraine as a creation by Russia's enemies. According to Putin, Lenin's support of the self-determination of Ukraine divided Russia, preventing it from becoming a leading power in the world. For proponents of this view, Russian sovereignty is under threat so long as Ukraine exists.Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Ein Standpunkt von John J. Mearsheimer.Die Hauptursache des Ukraine-Krieges ist der NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine, der vom Westen angestrebt wurde. Den „russischen Imperialismus“ gibt es nicht wirklich, sondern dieser wurde erfunden, um Russland die Schuld geben zu können. Das begründet der bekannte US-Politikwissenschaftler John J. Mearsheimer von der University of Chicago. Er entkräftet dabei auch die üblichen Gegenargumente. Die klaren und nüchternen Schilderungen von Mearsheimer sind eine gesundende Wohltat inmitten gefährlicher Kriegstreiberei. Dieser kann durch klare Gedanken Kraft genommen werden.Die Frage, wer für den Krieg in der Ukraine verantwortlich ist, ist seit dem Einmarsch Russlands in die Ukraine am 24.

Renowned University of Chicago Professor of Political Science John Mearsheimer has given a “gloomy” analysis about Israel's standing, saying that the Middle Eastern nation's problems are “deep, unfixable” and getting worse.   Mearsheimer made his comment during an interview with Judge Napolitano, saying that ten months into its ruthless war against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Israeli army is worn out, yet it has not defeated Palestinian resistance fighters in Hamas. “Israel is stuck in Gaza,” said the professor. It's a hornet's nest from which it had to leave in 2005, he pointed out, adding that Israel simply cannot comprehend that the catastrophic destruction and unresolved problems it has caused in Gaza lie on its border, and also has no hope of defeating Hezbollah in Lebanon or Iran.   Plus segments on a top Israeli official lamenting that his country can't starve two million Palestinians to death, Kamala Harris's VP choice Tim Walz explaining that free speech doesn't allow for misinformation or hate speech, NFL teams using facial recognition to scan game ticketholders and the latest Kamala Harris word salad.   Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Tim Walz!

And since he's been largely excluded from corporate media for his dissenting views, it's more important than ever to get his word out. “What you have here is a real disjuncture between what the elites think and what the publics think,” he says of the two conflicts, in what is already a clear affront to the narratives of elitist western media. “There are recent polls produced by the European Council on Foreign Relations and the Quincy Institute that show that only 10% of Europeans and 12% of Americans think that Ukraine can win the war.” And when it comes to Israel, Mearsheimer explains that US policy is even further from what the people want. It's not the voters who have a say, and even Congress (as pro-Israel as they are) isn't in control: “I believe that 90% of it is accounted for by the [Israel] lobby.” Professor Mearsheimer deep dives into each war: he explains why the US tanked Ukraine's peace talks to further instigate Russia and what he would do now if he was in Biden's or Putin's position. He also delves into the influence of the Israel lobby and how Biden has given impunity to Israel's killing Gaza killing spree. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, Rob chats with John Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Mearsheimer presents a nuanced perspective on liberalism, emphasising a crucial distinction between its positive impact domestically and its potential pitfalls when applied as a foreign policy approach. He delves into his views on modern-day liberalism, exploring the concept's "crusader impulse" and its role in intervening in other states' perceived rights. Mearsheimer critically examines instances where the U.S., driven by a belief in the universality of liberalism, has sought to impose its values on other nations, resulting in interventions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. He highlights the unintended consequences of such interventions, often leading to the rise of nationalism in the affected regions. Mearsheimer explores the intricate bond between liberalism and nationalism, expressing his disagreement with prevailing foreign policy stances that tend to fuel nationalist sentiments. Mearsheimer provides insightful perspectives on the complexities of liberalism and its intersection with nationalism in the realm of foreign policy.

Israel has gone far beyond “going after Hamas” in the first 10 weeks of its war on Gaza, according to one of the United States' leading political scientists, John Mearsheimer.He tells host Steve Clemons that murdering hundreds of civilians daily and starving the rest is a “punishment campaign” and “should be unacceptable to decent people all over the world”.In this episode, Mearsheimer, who teaches international relations at the University of Chicago, looks into Israel's long-term strategies and explains why the elites in the US, Europe and the Arab world are not taking concrete steps to stop Israel's bombing campaign.Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribeFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglishFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeeraCheck our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile@AljazeeraEnglish#Aljazeeraenglish#News

In this conversation, John speaks with political scientist and international relations scholar Professor John Mearsheimer about the recent war in Ukraine, and the potential for conflict in Taiwan. Mearsheimer argues for what he calls 'offensive realism,' which holds that conflicts between states are driven by the need to maximize power in relation to other states. This is in contrast to the heterodox liberal framework, which Mearsheimer contends was only tenable under the recently ended ‘unipolar' era. Using this framework, Mearsheimer famously predicted the recent Russian invasion, arguing that it was an inevitable outcome of NATO's eastward expansion.

Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and political scientist John Mearsheimer as they discuss Professor Mearsheimer's latest book, How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy. Hailed as the most influential foreign policy realist of his generation, Mearsheimer and co-author Prof. Sebastian Rosato provide a groundbreaking examination of a central question in international relations: Do states act rationally?Together, they discuss the book's core idea: that states are generally rational in their foreign policymaking, in the sense that they use deliberative processes grounded in plausible theories of the world.  Through a fascinating analysis of historical case studies, Mearsheimer and Rosato argue that states think rationally most of the time, though not always with successful outcomes. Yet. as Sachs and Mearsheimer discuss, sometimes states do indeed act irrationally - as when the US invaded Iraq in 2003.  In their discussion, Professors Sachs and Mearsheimer cover considerable ground, discussing the World Wars, the Cold War, and the War in Ukraine.

This September, Professors John Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato released their controversial new book, “How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy.” Mearsheimer, a longtime Professor at the University of Chicago, ranks among the most well-known advocates for the realist school of international relations. Put simply, realism argues that states act in their own interest. Rosato, a Professor at Notre Dame and fellow traveler, joins as his co-author.  Among other assertions, Mearsheimer and Rosato argue that our tendency to view one nation's adversaries as irrational or amoral clouds that nation's ability to clearly assess others' actions and determine an appropriate response.  As one notable example, “How States Think” takes Vladmir Putin's war against Ukraine as a case study in our human tendency to dismiss other states' actions as irrational when perhaps what we mean is that we find them morally abhorrent. To be clear, Mearsheimer and Rosato don't endorse Putin or his war, but they encourage us to reconsider our perception of his behavior and look deeper to see whether an underlying rationale may exist.  The two scholars bring decades of experience to the project: Mearsheimer is a West Point grad and Air Force veteran who has authored a number of seminal political science and more popular books. He serves as the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor Political Science at the University of Chicago, and has taught at the university since 1982. Rosato currently serves as the Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, and has authored several books.  Listen along as Mearsheimer and Rosato join host Eric Jaffe to discuss the unique writing dynamic that shaped their remarkable collaborative work, their approach to rationality and what they think policymakers could learn from it.

Seán Molloy (University of Kent - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SeanMolloyIR) speaks with the Thinking Global team about Realist Ethics and the work of E.H. Carr. Dr. Molloy chats with Kieran about what 'Realism' as a school of IR theorising is, how considering Realism as amoral or immoral is incorrect, responses to and misinterpretation of Carr's 'The Twenty Years Crisis' , the importance of hermeneutics, what Carr's 'impure' or 'inconsistent' ethics looks like, and how figures like Mearsheimer fit into this discourse.

It is commonplace for American leaders to describe their fiercest foreign adversaries as irrational, crazy, delusional, or illogical. In their new book, “How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy,” political scientists John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Sebastian Rosato of the University of Notre Dame argue that these claims and many similar ones are often wrong because they're based on a flawed understanding of state rationality and international affairs.Jack Goldsmith questioned Mearsheimer and Rosato about why they think most states act rationally most of the time in developing grand strategy and managing crises. Among other topics, they discussed how their theory of state rationality differs from rational choice theorists and political psychologists, why understanding state rationality is important to success in international affairs, and why Mearsheimer, a harsh critic of U.S. expansion of NATO and of the U.S. choice to pursue liberal hegemony after the Cold War, nonetheless argues in this book that those decisions were rational.

He is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. He has been described as the most influential realist of his generation. Mearsheimer is best known for developing the theory of offensive realism, which describes the interaction between great powers as being primarily driven by the rational desire to achieve regional hegemony in an anarchic international system. In accordance with his theory, Mearsheimer believes that China's growing power will likely bring it into conflict with the United States. In his 2007 book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, Mearsheimer argues that the Israeli lobby wields disproportionate influence over U.S. foreign policy. Since 1982, Mearsheimer has been a member of the faculty of the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He became an associate professor in 1984 and a full professor in 1987 and was appointed the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in 1996. From 1989 to 1992, he served as chairman of the department. He also holds a position as a faculty member in the Committee on International Relations graduate program, and he is a co-director of the Program on International Security Policy. Mearsheimer's books include Conventional Deterrence (1983), which won the Edgar S. Furniss Jr. Book Award; Nuclear Deterrence: Ethics and Strategy (co-editor, 1985); Liddell Hart and the Weight of History (1988); The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (2001), which won the Lepgold Book Prize; The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (2007); and Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics (2011). His articles have appeared in academic journals like International Security and popular magazines like the London Review of Books. He has written op-ed pieces for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune. Mearsheimer has won several teaching awards. He received the Clark Award for Distinguished Teaching when he was a graduate student at Cornell in 1977, and he won the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at the University of Chicago in 1985. In addition, he was selected as a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar for the 1993–1994 academic year. In that capacity, he gave a series of talks at eight colleges and universities. In 2003, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the recipient of the American Political Science Association's 2020 James Madison Award, which is presented every three years to an American political scientist who has made distinguished scholarly contributions. The Award Committee noted that Mearsheimer is "one of the most cited International Relations scholars in the discipline, but his works are read well beyond the academy as well." Mearsheimer's works are widely read and debated by 21st century students of international relations. A 2017 survey of U.S. international relations faculty ranks him third among "scholars whose work has had the greatest influence on the field of IR in the past 20 years."

Talking about NATO and Ukraine, the French shooting, and the Democratic Party

Harvey and Jim reflect on Glenn Greenwald's recent interview with John Mearsheimer in an attempt to spread the thought that it is important to look at the Russian/Ukrainian war from Russia's perspective to understand what provoked Putin and what we can expect in the future. Beyond that Mearsheimer also points out the effects of this war on the global power structure, the US/Nato's capabilities, the continuing escalation, Ukraine's untenable position and more. This clearly is not pretty.

Danny and Derek welcome Jonathan Kirshner, professor of political science and international studies at Boston College, to discuss his book An Unwritten Future: Realism and Uncertainty in World Politics. They touch on structural realism/neorealism, the importance of classical realism, Mearsheimer, Thucydides, and more. *Producer's note: Due to a technical error, we unfortunately do not have audio for the beginning of this conversation, so the discussion picks up about 15 minutes in.Grab up a copy of Jonathan's book!

On today's episode of Human Events Daily, Poso is joined by Editor-in-Chief of the Post Millennial, Libby Emmons, to discuss the GRIM warning put forth by John Mearsheimer: America is heading for WW3 with Russia AND China, followed by a comprehensive breakdown of Elon's transhumanist plans for humanity - will the FDA allow Elon to begin chipping away at the brains of Americans? And finally, the Idaho Massacre investigation is seemingly going nowhere fast, as officials scramble to put the pieces together.

The international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been extraordinary. Rarely have so many nations united so quickly to impose such heavy economic and diplomatic sanctions on Russia. Even Switzerland, a byword for studied neutrality, saw fit to levy sanctions on Putin's regime. Millions of Ukrainians who fled their homes have been welcomed as refugees in Europe. The sympathy for them, and for those who remain under Russian bombardment, has been widespread (with American schoolchildren mailing small toys, crayons, and stuffed animals to comfort Ukrainian kids displaced from their homes). From across the globe, military aid to Ukraine has poured in. Underlying this reaction is an unspoken, in many cases impressionistic, recognition that Russia is the aggressor. But one prominent intellectual, Professor John Mearsheimer, argues that we've got it all wrong. In this episode, we read aloud Elan Journo's article, “Why John Mearsheimer Gets Ukraine Wrong.” In that essay, he argues that Mearsheimer's "realist" take on Russian invasion on Ukraine is an object lesson in the destructiveness of amoralism. Journo's article was originally published in New Ideal on September 14, 2022. Podcast audio:

On this edition of Parallax Views, is the two-state solution in the Israel/Palestine conflict dead? If so what are the possible futures moving forward for Israel/Palestine? Dr. Ian S. Lustick, the Bess W. Heyman Chair in the Political Science Department of the University of Pennsylvania, joins us to discuss why he believes the two-state solution is now an impossibility as argued in his 2019 book Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality. Recently, Dr. Lustick's book was just recently released in a Hebrew-language edition which is what helped precipitate this conversation. Among the topics discussed in this conversation: - The history of the the two-state solution including discussion of Great Britain, the Peel Commission, partition, the United Nations, Zionism, Palestinian Arabs, the 1967 Six-Day War, and the return of partition discussion in the 1970s - Dr. Lustick's support for the two-state solution and his work on that matter starting in the 1970s; how Dr. Lustick's views evolved over time and why he no longer believes the two-state solution is within the realm of possibility - The use of the term "one-state reality" rather than solution in the title of the book; the loss of the two-state solution as a paradigm of thought; the promise and hope that exists within new ways of thinking about Israel/Palestine - The question of the Israel lobby (specifically AIPAC) and U.S. foreign policy; John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's critique of the lobby as related to U.S. national interests and the ways in which Dr. Lustick's analysis is both in way similar to and different to Mearsheimer and Walt's analysis - The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement - Revisionist Zionism, Likud Party founder and Israel's sixth Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Zionist thinker Vladimir "Ze'ev" Jabotinsky, and the "Iron Wall" strategy - Secret negotiations, sabotaging of peace processes, and the failure of Oslo Accords - Gaza and the West Bank - President Joe Biden's comments on Israel/Palestine early on in his White House tenure and why Dr. Lustick believes they are significant - The nature of political change, the evolution of the Democratic Party from supporting Jim Crow to being the party of the first black President Barack, and the abandonment of the "Demographic" argument in regards to Israel/Palestine - What does Dr. Lustick have to say about, for example, Gazans than can't wait for decades long changes through a long protracted struggle? - The theme of unintended consequences in Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality - Commenting on the human rights-centric approach to Israel/Palestine as advocated by Palestinian human rights attorney Zaha Hassan and others - Peter Beinart and the changing of the guard on the issue of Israel/Palestine and the two-state solution - And much, much more!

"Because the Cold War is in the distant past, most people, especially younger people, haven't thought a lot about nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence, and they tend to be quite cavalier in their comments about nuclear weapons, and this makes me very nervous," Mearsheimer said. It makes me nervous too. Especially when we've got a steadily escalating proxy war which the standoff in Lithuania could easily see spin out into a direct hot war between Russia and NATO powers, and when we hear the UK's top army general telling troops to prepare for World War Three.

In Episode 248 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with professors of international relations John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. Professor Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and the author of multiple books including “The Tragedy of Great Power Politics,” “Why Leaders Lie,” and “The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities.” Professor Walt is the Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. He is also the author of several books including “Revolution and War,” “Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy,” and most recently “The Hell of Good Intentions.” They both have appeared separately on the podcast before: professor Walt for a conversation on the decline of US primacy and professor Mearsheimer on the power of nationalism in international affairs. They are also both prominent members of the so-called “realist school” and their views have often run counter to the prevailing orthodoxy in Washington, which one could broadly characterize as interventionist. John Mearsheimer especially has gained attention for his views on Ukraine, which went viral after the recent Russian invasion. Just one of his videos on YouTube alone has been seen over 26 million times. Demetri asks him about that experience, why he thinks his views have resonated so strongly with the public, and if there's a connection between peoples' views on Ukraine and their positions on the larger culture wars that seem to be dividing so many of us in Western societies today. Of course, the conversation veers well beyond Ukraine, which is just the touching off point for a much larger discussion about the future of great power competition, the endurance of the alliance between Russia and China, America's pivot to Asia, and how Russia's invasion of Ukraine could actually make that easier, and what should the goals of American foreign policy be.

Dave DeCamp is back on Antiwar Radio this week to provide another update on the war in Ukraine. They begin by talking about the new bill set to transfer $40 billion to Ukraine. Rand Paul requested an inspector general to oversee the funds, similar to how money was tracked during the war in Afghanistan. Paul's request will not be included in the bill, but his attempt did push the passage of the bill back about a week. Scott and DeCamp point out how every single Democrat in national office has fallen in line to support this war. They then dig into the risk of nuclear war breaking out. Both agree that we are clearly on a bad trajectory with the express goals of western governments being to weaken or total overthrow the Russian regime — the top scenario nuclear war experts say will lead to a purposeful first strike. DeCamp points out that the only interest in negotiation seems to come from inside the military. Political leaders are outright discouraging talks. Scott and DeCamp end with a discussion of Finland and Sweden's plans to join NATO and the Lithuanian Foreign Minister's call for regime change in Moscow.    Discussed on the show: Mearsheimer's short debate on PBS “For the U.S., a Tenuous Balance in Confronting Russia” (New York Times) “NATO says Ukraine to decide on peace deal with Russia — within limits” (Washington Post) Dave DeCamp is the news editor of Antiwar.com.

Scott interviews David Stockman about the war in Ukraine and the American economy. They begin by discussing the war in Ukraine. Stockman argues that the irrational motivator behind Washington's actions is Trump-Derangement Syndrome — that Putin is a surrogate for Trump and you need to demonstrate blind hatred for him to be accepted. Next, they turn to the economy. Stockman recounts the trouble the American economy was in before the pandemic and war in Eastern Europe came about to make everything worse. Scott and Stockman end by discussing the painful path ahead. Discussed on the show: Mearsheimer's short debate on PBS Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country by William Greider David Stockman is the ultimate Washington insider turned iconoclast. He began his career in Washington as a young man and quickly rose through the ranks of the Republican Party to become the Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. After leaving the White House, Stockman had a 20-year career on Wall Street. He is the author of Trumped!, The Triumph of Politics, and his history of the financial crisis, The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America.

Who fundamentally is to blame for the war in Ukraine? John Mearsheimer, a professor at University of Chicago, insists the principal blame lies not with Putin, but with the West, especially the U.S. This astonishing conclusion flows from Mearsheimer's championing of a theory called “Realism” in international relations. Join Elan Journo and Nikos Sotirakopoulos for an analysis of the philosophic assumptions and consequences of Mearsheimer's brand of “realism.” Podcast audio:

Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony — the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended — is doomed to fail. It would be better, he says, for America to practice restraint in the foreign policy sphere based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers. We also discuss Ukraine and both agree that American solidiers do not belong in the conflict.
