Pic related. I used to actually defend Israel before I read this book and I did a complete 180 in 2024. Seeing the primary race against Massie today made me think a lot about this book again today.
>>535392723Massie should just join the Democrat party if he intends to grandstand and stall the president's agenda.
>>535392878You should just move to Israel
>>535392723Mearsheimer was wrong on just about everything.
>>535392878We are all Democrats now
>>535393026He was completely right about everything though? The latest Palestinian crisis has been a complete PR disaster for Israel which primarily operates on stealthy American propaganda>IDF snipers deliberating killing innocent Americans>IDF kidnapping people and having dogs rape them while in the same breath complaining about Oct 7 rapes>IDF producing execution videos virtually indistinguishable from ISIS
>>535392965Despite all the hot bitches in Israel, no thanks I value my life and don't wanna get kidnapped
>>535393026How was he wrong? The book was written in 2008 and most of the critiques of AIPAC are still applicable today.
>>535393397Are Israel "struggling" in Gaza? No. Now I know you'll probably say the usual shit like "hamas is still there". If so then, who is funding them since Israel, with the support of America has cut of Iranian funding. Mearsheimer also claimed Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine and they did. "Putin would be too smart to do that" he said. Then he claimed Ukraine can't win but yet Russia is still there struggling.
>>535392878>Massie should just join the Democrat party if he intends to grandstand and stall the president's agendaKike shill memeflaggots are such insecure Trump narcissists they actually think anyone gaf about their namecalling.
>>535393612Israel has been beneficial for America. Of course not for the average Joe like yourselves on here but for the military and government. Israel has taken out Iranian proxies and helped with strangling Iran into defeat. America basically controls the Middle East now as they're moving towards containing China in Asia.
>>535392723That was, and remains, an important book.The jews then violently attacked Mearsheimer and Walt, just as Goebbels described.
>>535394260>The jews then violently attacked MearsheimerHow? Seems to have a good platform online.
>>535393026Guess which country finished most disliked of all this year?
At the time I was doing IR at university, read this and was like yes obviously but it'll never change. I guess I appreciate the "courage" of mershimer/wal to say the obvious, but to skip way forward meeshimer seems to have this weird sub complex with Russia, the harder Russia loses the more according to him everyone should give in to them? He at least seems to have this sense that nukes are magic and only 6.5 counties can have them and anything they want goes, when in our actual reality the US lots Vietnam and any country in the G20 or 30 could develop a bomb in a month or two this is 40s tech Russia or anyone else is by no ways special they can pound sand.
>>535392723The Spotlight Newspaper - Used to be able to get it on the street in those newspaper boxes in the 80's.
>>535393794You do know Iran is attacking Israel now partly because of the Palestinians right? One of the conditions of surrender the Iranians demanded of the US is for Israel to stop. Iran actively arms Hezzbollah so that they can fight against Israel. And apparently it's working since Israel is in a state of inner crisis with the citizens hiding in bunkers while missiles rain down overhead every week
>>535394482forgot pic. this was just last Tuesday in Israel
>>535394451Mearsheimer is a NATO propagandist. He props up Russia as if they are a superpower when in reality they're only a regional power. America needs the population to believe that Russia is still a rival. It justifies NATO expansion. Mearsheimer role is to act as the opposition to the war Hawks in the government.
>>535392723jewish supremacy by david duke
>>535394451>the harder Russia losesFound your problem
>>535394482>Iran actively arms Hezzbollah so that they can fight against Israel.Do you honestly believe that Iran is in a position right now to be funding proxies? Lmao.Why can't they fund defence for themselves?
>>535394861
diary of the wimpy kids
>>535394887you unironically don't? you don't think Iran would fund an armed para-military group to help them in their fight against their biggest enemy Israel?
>>535394347Twenty years ago the kikes went after Mearsheimer and Walt like they were Hitler - tried to destroy their lives.Even today the online descriptions at booksellers and the like are things like "controversial" and "provocative."Here's how the ADL described it:>Mar 24, 2006 — A 41-page, amateurish and biased critique of Israel, American Jews, and American policy...a classical conspiratorial anti-Semitic analysis invoking the canards of Jewish power and Jewish control.(Amusingly, even 20 years ago the ADL yids were shrieking about the imminent danger of Iran developing nuclear weapons.)
>>535394940I am sorry that you find reality upsetting but you're not going to browbeat me into playing pretend with you
>>535394077Iran should have a nuke it would be really funny lol
>>535394482Iran should have a nuke
>>535395079>you don't think Iran would fund an armed para-military group to help them in their fight against their biggest enemy IsraelThey did do that instead of investing into the countries infrastructure. Now all their money that was invested into proxies has gone down the drain. It's only a matter of time before civil unrest breaks out. The American military want to take over Iran but by doing the bare minimum.
>>535395258There might have been a small jewish criticism but, they didn't collectively target him like they did other people.
>>535395357Iran never had nuclear capabilities. This was Israeli propaganda since the late 80s to keep Iran as the boogeyman. They may have attempted some facilities the past few years out of desperation but they were constantly striked.
>>535395521not going to happen anytime soon. professor pape, a student of professor meirsheimer incidentally also wrote a book about this over a decade ago too. you can't coerce a country using civil unrest or whatever by bombing them. they have stigmatized and vindicated iranians against america - the opposite of what you think has happened. the only winning option for trump is to invade
>>535395635Bwahahaha you can pilpul all you want but I watched it happen and even talked to Mearsheimer about it.I suppose you'd also call Israel's genocide in Gaza "a small jewish criticism."
>>535392723The gospel
>>535395856>the only winning option for trump is to invadeLet's be clear. Trump's a moron and doesn't make any decisions. He's only there to entertain while the important decisions were already made years ago.Iran can easily be divided. America can simply fund groups like the kurds and Pakistanis to create friction. Iran was already under pressure before the latest air striking and assassinations. Of course there is anti American/Israeli sentiment in Iran but, promises of trade deals will turn the people's tune after spending years in poverty. If Americans carpet bombed Iran with big mac burgers, the Iranians would be rebelling in no time lol.
>>535395921Mearsheimer is a liberal. He's not an anti semite. I don't why people think he's on their side when in reality some of his good friends are jewish. He simply criticised the Israeli lobby which to be fair was more taboo at the time of writing.
>>535395856Forget to add that the arabs like UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are now gearing up to attack Iran. They're claiming retaliation for the Iranian strikes made against them.
>>535396293>>535396540iran isn't going to lose anytime soon and definitely not easily. the first country to escalate with iran too much is going to get missiles launched at their desalination plants. and none of these countries can survive without them. ultimately iran doesn't need nukes to incentivize countries to fuck off. israel losing even one plant is a lose condition for zognald. israel wasn't supposed to be damaged
>>535396775I simply can't comprehend how people still think Iran can or is going to win lmao. Iran has absolutely nothing going for them. Even their allies Russia and China backed off in supporting them. Iranians can't play the long game. They don't have a military that can match their enemies. The assassination of the supreme leader was the final nail in the coffin. The IRGC are just holding out as long as possible. I've no doubt they'll go down fighting and swinging but eventually they will cave in.
>>535392723This is why the kikes had people like Chomsky out there acting as controlled opposition during this time. Who the fuck is Chomsky? Some mealy-mouthed linguist with an 8th grade level understanding of geopolitics whose entire schtick was "America bad too". It's why the opposition to the Iraq war so pathetic and weak. It's a shame that Mearchsheimer wasn't more influential in the mainstream. I think I saw him on CSPAN once back in 2008. They are going to wreck that filthy jewess Nuland and the fat zionist pig Pompeo in the debate tomorrow night. It's going to be a veritable holocaust.
>>535397113Winning for Iran isn't impossible anon. All they have to do is hurt the other side enough that they fuck off. Israel / America can totally win at a huge cost and probably in less time then it's taken Russia to invade and defeat Ukraine probably maybe
>>535392878funny how this wasnt said to the never trumpers who opposed his popular agendas, only the ones who dont tow the line for yidsrael
