politics and power is misleading headline for this interview. it was all about Israel 😅
The problem with people today is that they're forgotten their religious roots. On the other hand Jews are extremely tied to them. The formation of greater Israel would provide no motive in terms of monetary means or power dominance. Zionists wouldve started occupying other countries if their motive was that. Greater Israel in their scriptures is a way of welcoming their Messiah. Their prophecies clearly state that with the formation of a greater Israel Dajjal their Messiah would return. And remember the battle isn't money or power. They have the power and money. An example of it is the current situation. Nobody has been able to stop them even though it's pretty clear who the tyrant is. Even after immense pressure from the international community they're still killing. Remember it's the battle between Islam and the world of the kafirin.
bibi is Pol Pot
Russia also surrender
Ww3 next month
Why is he giving support for Greater Israel and almost stating only Israel's option the only reality. This is nonsense and inhuman.
Good analysis..I have to admit that the arab n western worlds have more in common goals than with some muslim natioms even or israiil..Agressions have lef things to this.
Mearsheiner happened to be wrong about every single thing in Ukraine
It's a great testament to America's commitment to freedom of thought that someone like Mearsheimer can scathingly denounce U.S. foreign policy, yet still live and work in the country with little interference. This could never happen in Russia or China.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great discussion, west need more leaders like him.
In light of the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, which did not pursue NATO membership at the time, how does your theory about NATO expansion and Russia's security concerns apply to cases like this? Would you still argue that NATO expansion is the primary driver of Russian aggression in its near abroad, or do you think there are other factors at play in Georgia's case?"
This man is a very bad extremist.
Many of Us Value Truth!!!
This man is the figure of the realist movement. Cannot put into words how much respect I have for Mr Mearsheimer. He's so eloquent and direct. Also, Iran has the right to defend itself! 🙂 Love from Cyprus.
I could listen to this man talk for hours and hours, although the truth crushes my soul.
The power of the Epstein video tapes
This was brilliant. The questions were spot on and the answers did not disappoint.
Dr. Mearsheimer is very intelligent professor, I think they putted wrong person for taking interview from him.
According to the United States and Israel, Gaza and the West Bank are nothing but testing sights for American and Israeli cutting edge surveillance and weapons technology.
A very pragmatic analysis.
Dr. M. THANKS!!!
Isreal and Palestine are at war. Didn't Palestine attact isreal on October 7? That was a mistake that seems to be lost somehow. They sealed their fate.
This behaviour has been going on for centuries and will ultimately go on till the last days of human existence
Izzy is an ETHNO STATE!
American politicians will shout from the rooftops that they love this country but will throw her and her people under the bus in a minute for some money from the lobby
