>>530528514I am already watching this right now and I agree that we are fucked.
Can I get a QRD on Chris Hedges, I just know he's a popular leftist, but he seems an honest one.
>>530528672Lost his luster (from the GWB neocon era). Former war correspondent and religious seminary academic. Since 2016 has bungled the plot interpreting the global order and events.
>>530528791is he scared to name them?
>>530528840He's the American version of George Galloway.
>>530528840to old to change his ways much but he is critical in a sort of indirect way.gateway not gatekeeper.
>>530528973>>530528990Appreciate it, gentlemen
I have the suspicion that this Mearsheimer guy is a fraud. I've heard him talk for hours and never learned anything new.
>>530528514I saw jeffrey sachs on piers....there was legit fear in his voice
>>530530052Haven't seen that yetany other in depth interviews with Sachs over past several days?
>>530530052I have some fundamental disagreements with Sachs, but I always thought he was a serious person. And he's more right more often than not.
>>530530158>>530530210Sachs on piers is the last one...i've never seen the guy like this...legit fearful tone , voice trembling
wouldn't us getting embarrassed in this war and losing our hegemony in the region be a good thing? wouldn't it result in a more isolationist foreign policy and encourage we reduce reliance on the middle east for our energy needs?
>>530530248Haven't heard him yet, I don't typically watch Piers boomerslop. But Sachs is a very serious person, though he does have some blind spots. He's been on Tucker several times, also his address to the EU regarding the Russian situation was excellent. I'm gonna watch the Piers interview now. Thank you, anon.
I'm actively reading the tragedy of great power politics. The reason much of what Mearsheimer says comes off as obvious is because he's a very clear and straightforward logical thinker. Offensive realism (his contribution to political science) is a pure application of strategy, and he relates it with game theory in some of his later work. I think it has limits but it's very compelling within a box. Social sciences are not all woke gender studies crap.
>>530529670Because you're a braincel my retard
>>530530382In the long term, yes. But before that it's going to be very hard times.
>>530530499it's probably an existential imperative that we go through some very hard times, the average citizen is living in a fantasy world and won't wake up until he's forced to do something other than eat taco bell and scroll through facebook all day. it's probably the only solution to the widespread ignorance and apathy we have.
>>530530382It isn't bad but also isn't good. The main thing here is China and Israel.China succeeding the US is a fucking nightmare. It's a fucking travesty that both the US and Israel conspired to create this soulless nation and now we'll have to deal with these untrustworthy and backstabbing sons of bitches with a huge chip on their shoulder. Imagine that. Also, Japan will have to get involved because they hate the Chinese even more than we do.Then there's Israel. If the Iran situation goes belly up, there's a very real danger of the situation going nuclear. But even if it doesn't, you already have the entire Middle East sharpening their daggers and realigning themselves in broader Islamic coalitions to fuck over Israel and ultimately Europe. Europe will be fucked because we have no real energy independence and we've already invited in a huge fifth column of extremist and unassimilable Mohammedans that will surely disturb the peace, not to mention that we will have to deal with yet another refugee crisis.I'm hearing Sachs right now and I absolutely agree that this is a potential WW3 situation.
>>530528514You don't even need to watch the video I'll tell you what he says right now."EVERYTHING BAD IS WEST FAULT EVERYONE ELSE DID NOTHING WRONG, WEST MUST APOLOGIZE OR THEY ARE DOOMED!Am I right?
>>530528672>Can I get a QRD on Chris Hedgesrabid anti white cocksucker. mearsheimer is some part jew bernie voter. and most likely getting money from russia.he's been to valdai.
>>530530788nope
>>530528514I lost all trust in this nigger when he unironically said that Russian convoy on Kiev was Russians doing some strategic distraction and not what it obviously was (complete failure of Russian military). Proving that so called "realists" are Kremlin's puppets and nobody should listen to them.Half of Europe still would be under Russian boot if we listen to such niggers, because rotting there always makes more sense than making mighty Russia angry. Fuck off.
>>530530898I agree that he plays down the 2022 northern front as well as the power of Russian ethnic irredentism, but the counterpoint to that is the small size of Russia's initial invasion force that suggests limited goals. Decisions like those are based on detailed classified knowledge that the rest of us have incomplete access to. Mearsheimer does tend to argue that putler isn't stupid enough to try to conquer western Ukraine despite the persistence of denazification/regime change arguments. It's that classic "why the fuck would anybody be stupid" error.It doesn't make him a big fat retard, though. Realism is not just some smug notion of being realistic, it's based on a survival imperative and the rational decisions stemming from the collective will to survive of states. Actual literature on the subject uses long-spanning evidence and causal explanations to support it.And everybody knows Poles are not a reliable source on Russia. They raped your ass bloody so many times, you people are just rabidly against them. Assuming they're not retarded enough to trigger article 5 and self-immolate is more in your interests then hyperventilating about how they're out to get you in two weeks.
I think that the fact of the matter is, well, look, there's no question that Iran wants to do this, but y'see the FACT that they want to do this even to begin with just says it allThat's my Mearsheimer impression bros
>>530530898I was about to explain to you why you were wrong, then I saw your flag and realised there is no point. Anybody who thinks RF military outside Kiev was for an actual military purpose and not to pressure Kiev leadership into negotiation is braindead. They left the instant negotiations failed.
>>530532039holy shit, which year into transition are you?
>>530529670At worst I think he is bought out by China because he mentioned giving talks there and I don't remember him every really talking about China negatively.
>>530532919Anyone who doesn't criticise China is infinitely suspicious. Because it's very easy to see how big of a problem they are. Yes, there's fake anti-China propaganda from a variety of actors, but that doesn't mean that China isn't a very real concern or that they aren't struggling with very real domestic problems.
>>530532039>Realism is not just some smug notion of being realistic, it's based on a survival imperative and the rational decisions stemming from the collective will to survive of states.In the end it always boils down to "give robber all he wants because his knife is bigger than yours" on geopolitical scale. There's some sweet spot between mere survival and fighting on improving your situation and "realists" are clearly missing it.>And everybody knows Poles are not a reliable source on Russia. They raped your ass bloody so many times, you people are just rabidly against them.Considering Russia's doing, what you said doesn't make sense. We were literally proven right on everything Russia-related. It makes us perfectly reliable source on Russia.Polish leadership (from whatever faction) was exactly saying what will happen with every step of western countries towards Russia, and everything, from Russians attacking Georgia to attacking Ukraine to using energy blackmail (Nordstream) on Europe - it all actually happened.
>>530532830What year into self-genocide are you? You know the Great Replacement is not just the Jews satisfying their sexual sadism, right? It's geopolitical. EU elites are going to keep inviting niggers for decades until they get enough votes for federalization, and how are they going to keep you hooked on their bloc? Just point at Russia and butthurt belters will never rebel.
>>530530248He's right to be. Nuclear holocaust is a coinflip with these people
>>530532039One more example about>And everybody knows Poles are not a reliable source on Russia.This nigger here:>>530532619I don't care if he's a bot or just regular retard. Kremlin's propaganda uses this "Poles are just russophobic" nonsense to undermine objective truth - Russia by nature is imperialistic, expansionist beast and Poland's just in it's way.
>>530529670>(((Mearsheimer)))Image listening to this kike
>>530533114>it's not just a, its benough about geopolitics -nigger. Give me a good pierogi recipe with chicken meat.
>>530533280Pipe down, little pshek. The men are conducting geopolitics here, and your protracted whining is proving most unwelcome.
>>530533238Israel's problem is it's all bark and no bite or pull. Sure they can launch a few warheads, even at Turkey/Europe, but what then? Are they going to conquer *and hold* the Levant?None of the shit Israel has done for eighty years, would've occurred without U.S. and France backing.They're still today 2026 a paper tiger bully that goes around like a chimp with big stick, but is too busy leaping around screeching to actually hold and occupy ground.And of course, since the 1960s every single move they've made is backed by the full U.S. Navy and arsenal. Without that they're just another Pakistan, a corrupt rogue savage terrorist entity.When people start positing all the 'Greater Israel' theories, yes no fucking shit Oded Yinon and 1996 Clean Break *are real*. But each is also based and totally predicated on the U.S. cold war-era backing of every single unhinged move they make. (That's why Bibi is making the most of his 'pal' Trump in this last-stand gamble, with plummeting global and U.S. public support for the state of Israel rn)
>>530533045Just being allowed to give a lecture in China alone is already a big indictment in itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xokkGnBOgiU
>>530533769>give a lecture in ChinaZero significance or import. Everyone does that, he is an internationally respected academic.
mearsheimer is/was alright, but he's been compromised (audience capture, at the very least) for some time.
>>530533376He's not exactly a pro-Israel shill anon.
>BREAKING: Old man who has been wrong about everything speaks
>>530528672Reasonable for a mad lefty.Paraphrased "Trumps not Hitler, He is von Pappen"
>>530532542You are not a native English speaker. It boggles my mind that you can write like this in the age of free proofreading by grammarly or chatgpt. Learn to spoken, retard.
>>530538316>Learn to spoken, retard.Maybe with enough practice I will learn to spoken just like you, pshek. And maybe with enough practice you will learn to understand the context behind the posts you read too.
>>530538519Been catching newfags with this one for decades. Thanks for confirming.
>>530538757You are wrong on both accounts on this occasion, but I do not expect this information to get through to you. I am always honest and only speak the truth. Not that it would matter either way if I were not a Briton.
>>530530813Mearsheimer co-wrote "The Israel Lobby".
>>530528672Pulitzer prize winning journo that has been making Conservacattle seethe for two decades now.
>>530538965Got a lot of shit for it too AFAIK.
>>530528514he was wrong about russia
>>530532919>>530533045He's been open for years that his analysis is that it is in the interest of the US to contain China and he personally agrees with it. In opposition to Jeffrey Sachs who talks about cooperation. The reason he's not constantly railing against China is because China is not in the news constantly causing some international crisis.

>>530528514>burger sanctions threat hollow>burger military threat hollows'ogre
rabid anti semites, both of them
>>530539469I'm not a fan of Sachs when it comes to China. Frankly, I'm also not a fan of Sachs when it comes to the bullshit EU integration. Sachs is supremely naïve in this regard because he just sees everything as economy, a kind of reductionistic view that rubs me the wrong way. His criticism of the EU is basically that we didn't EU hard enough, utterly baffling.Having said that, his analysis is what it is and I don't find him a suspicious actor at all. I just think that his sinophilia must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
>>530530248Fearful of what?
>>530533280Bro go back in your hole. You can fight Russia and/or Hungary in a couple years, don't worry about it
Never heard of this guy, but if he's still a commie at his age and after learning so much about the Jews and their meddling, then he is obviously evil.Remember that antizionism in media was tolerated from communist and muslim sources in social media when our guys were still banned or throttled after 20k views/subs.Leftist antizionism is a deflection to take attention and heat away from the true origin of evil across the world: Jewish world communism.
>>530528514According to memesheimer "realpolitik" logic, the strong can do whatever they want.Why isn't he telling that Iran should just accept the fact that US and Israel are powerful and have their interests.
>>530540296>According to memesheimer "realpolitik" logic, the strong can do whatever they want.Ultimately, this is sadly a correct perspective. Even if the Iran situation can only be realistically solved with nukes.
>>530540296>Why isn't he telling that Iran should just accept the fact that US and Israel are powerful and have their interests.>this grade A moron's understanding of realpolitikAll the theory talks about is states acting in their rational self-interest. Iran doesn't want to be at the mercy of the US and Israel, so it follows a strategy of inflicting pain back to get them to fuck off. And it has all the indications of working so far. Trump is nuking his own presidency at a and is seen by the whole world (except our coopted political class) as causing this instability, causing maximum reputational damage to the US and Israel at a minimum.>ragging on realpolitik in generalWhat's the alternative? The US/NATO policy of liberal internationalism is AT BEST some form of distorted realpolitik dressed up for the rubes (good luck explaining the massive support from the US to every Shia dictatorship), and at worst is completely incoherent and self-destructive (see EU's idiotic subservience to the US at their own detriment).
>>530540296Because they can't defeat Iran without killing themselves and the global economy, therefore they aren't as strong as they were before
>>530543352>Shia dictatorship*Sunni dictatorship
>>530528514When two Black women speak, I listen.
>>530543352good takedistilling everything to realpolitik being the driving factor in geopolitics and even internal national politics is the closest thing to honesty in government and diplomacy. acknowledging that is also a nail in the coffin for multiculturalism. its a naive position to stand on at best, dishonest and predatory when the inevitable conflicts of interest start stacking up.
>>530530597We'll never recover and there's no going back. This is all Israel first and only, nothing else. Israel wants everyone dead. This will never end. There is not solution going forward except ending it all. It is you that is living in a fantasy bogged down by old thinking.
>>530528514>miresniggerLoolOL
Tell me again grandpa how Israel is becoming a global pariah and will collapse in a few months time.
kek, smell the brainlet cope itt
>>530539596am about to watch that (earlier) one
>>530547581>Norman Fenton is a mathematician, computer scientiest and "climate dissenter" at Queen Mary School of Faggotsjej
>>530543352The problem with (as mostly occurs with /pol/ anons) interpreting the world through historical, political science—as is done in the post-WWII west—and race/culture/'civilizational' analyses i.e. the "cycle of empires" fallacious reasoning, is that none of that takes into account the totally unique and unprecedented Bretton Woods 1944 global economic-financial order following World War II. Never before in human history has the entire planet all 160 nations (not just '1 empire') been totally and integratedly dependent upon a single worldwide default reserve debt note fiat currency denomination alone by itself for all economic interaction and transactions. It's unprecedented, completely unlike any scenario of human civilization that's ever existedMearsheimer is smart and accurate from the former perspective(s) but he doesn't take into total account what this central bank controlled, post-1970s Finanicialized global economy that is an entirely debt-based foundation model, is all about.In other words anyone from e-bloggerstreamers to seasoned respected academics attempting to explain global events from a perspective that does not comprehend what central banks actually do (nope sorry the /biz/brainlet-tier 'muh fiat' is babby's first retardspeak and not going to cut it) is woefully inadequate and useless.
