I think the way these “realists” use realism as a cover to do retard analysis and make apology for either delusional libertarianism or third worldist BRICS cope/propaganda. The “liberal hegemony” neocons that they criticize so much are ironically more realistic than they are.

If the theory that says "we are just chimpanzees with machine guns" is the best explanation for this world, what is the point of reading literature?

Are you aware we’re potentially hours away from America launching another imperial war effort that will decisively reduce our standing in global power? You think acknowledging such a reality is “wrong?”

I really wonder who pays him and jeffrey sachs. They do all those weird talks about geopolitics with weirds guests. With both of them just shitting on the US for an hour straight.
Still Mearsheimer doesn't seem quite as retarded as Sachs

ITT: Burger-people don't like it when they are told that they are wrong and they're not the greatest country in the world.
And when told about it by one of their own, they label him as a [their favourite 'enemy'] puppet.
I think Mearsheimer is arguing about the ways, but not the goals of the US empire. And he has a point.
So I'm glad that guys like him are not welcome in the US. The sooner the fall, the better for the rest of the world.

He's a retard and falls into the mental trap of idealism. Israeli lobbying doesn't have much of a tangible effect on American interests in the middle east other than preserving its own status as America's colony in the middle east, which would be a necessity regardless of Israel's existence.

even though he has a better approach with his real politics he is still a (classic) liberal and thus his model of the world is flawed. all types like him just turned into third worldists and multi polar shills since the ukri war. and why is this in lit?

It's not particularly insightful though. He's big on the China shit.There's a letter from John Adams (I think it was to JQ) where he talks about the jealousy of old/vs young lawyers/doctors towards new hot shots, predicting English naval encroachment and the outcome. It's basically the same insight from 300 years ago.

Mearsheimer has been basically the only theorist who is NOT consistently wrong. Has liberalism not been a disaster wherever America has tried to implement it? He has been consistently correct about Ukraine, the Israel Lobby, and what is going in Gaza and the wider Middle East too. This is why he is not more well-known, because he says inconvenient truths for the American establishment, which is filled with liberals and Zionist Evangelical warmongers and Jews.He has very sensibly said that the relationship with Israel is not in the American national interest, and that if we attack Iran (as we have), then it would be a disaster for America, and that we should have been pivoting to contain China. Mearsheimer will be vindicated.

Reminder that Russophobic rhetoric is being stirred up by elites to distract you and direct your anger away from them.
When you call Russians "orcs" you are engaging in the Two Minute Hate like a prole from 1984.

Is this guy actually paid by Russia or just a complete dupe? Your thread prompted me to watch his 2022 debate against Carl Bildt, former prime minister of Sweden. In it he argues that we ought to appease Russia, that Russia's invasion is our fault, that Putin has no territorial ambitions (LOL!), that it was a mistake for Finland and Sweden to join NATO, and a bunch of other shit that could've come straight from the desk of Sergay Lavrov.

Mearsheimer right as usual about the war. US knows it can't do anything without full regional escalation, Israel has no concrete war aims and knows regime change is a 1% chance and the only way they can damage Iran meaningfully or increase change of regime change is by bombing Iranian oil fields or committing mass civilian atrocities and becoming a pariah state. Neither the US or Israel can do anything, and Iran knows this, and Iran knows that the US knows that they know (etc.), so the only open question on each side is "Are any actors in this fight retarded or insane enough to do something that makes deescalation impossible?"Iran knows that wars aren't fought tactically but strategically. The fact that everyone still says "Lebanon 2006" (and will now say "Lebanon 2025") whenever anyone says "The IDF would fuck Hezbollah up!!," the fact that decapitation strikes like Nasrallah's had no appreciable effect, all this means that three, five, ten, or twenty years ago, Israeli intelligence will think twice about more quagmire pseudo-invasions of Lebanon. Now the same is true of Iran.What are the concrete results of this? Iran keeps its HEU, the US almost certainly deliberately pulled punches by only firing surface missiles at Natanz and Isfahan and giving the maximum delay before scratching Fordow so Iran could evacuate. The only wildcare here was always Israel, or rather elements of Israel, who clearly DO want a maximalist regional war. But even Israel is badly divided internally over this, with the real military and intelligence men seeing it as pointless.From Israel's perspective, Iran surviving as a sovereign state for another ten or even five years, let alone a sovereign state with a 2006 Lebanon invasion equivalent of its own under its belt, is utterly disastrous. Iron Dome is now revealed PUBLICALLY as the joke people always knew it was. Just like Oct 7, what Netanyahu and the settler coalition wanted more than anything was exactly for Iran to pummel Israel so hard that the US is forced to join on a permanent war footing. Israel doesn't care that this will mean the end of the US empire and escalate to truly serious levels. The alternative for them, as they've known since the 90s, is encirclement, normalization, and regional multipolarity, with Israel getting weaker relative to its neighbors every year.Boring, but that's how early 21st century wars will be fought until some big rupture with the End of History happens.This also tidily explains why no Hezbollah or Houthi join-in. Iran was certainly telling them from the start "nah it'll be symbolically deescalated." Again the only real risk is Trump/Israel being COMPLETELY retarded and doing some Huckabee-tier tactical nuke or killing Khamenei.Israel status: Economy weakened, still a pariah, still mired in Gaza indefinitely, still encircled by asymmetric actors, now even more vulnerable, Netanyahu's coalition further discredited, capital and elite flight, still no Haredi draft.
