Mearsheimer 2015: "We (the US) need Russia on Iran, on China, on Syria...." Mearsheimer 2024: "We (the US) lost Russia on Iran, on China, on Syria...."

Watching in 2024, what professor doesnt reflect on is that the US has a job to stay on top. Join us or become the enemy.

Turn university into corporation make money instead of pickpocket students

I think in reality Nato and the US military are private mercenaries for the 1% club , Blackrock are already dividing up Ukraine for their club.

Jesus

The only thing that I don’t agree with Professor Mearsheimer about is his presumption that the decisions that the American government has taken over the years with regards to foreign policy, has been often misguided, foolish and sometimes the results have been unexpected and have caught the Americans unaware. I do not believe this is true. I believe most of the things that the elites have done not only America but around the world is by design. I think they know exactly what they’re doing.

thanks for bringing the back home to CHICAGO lmao

By the way. about holy democracy - The total death toll of people killed by American troops in all major wars and conflicts since World War II is estimated to be over 12 million. This includes direct war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as casualties and fatalities in other conflicts.

upd. There will be a treaty -but after an unconditional surrender-as was the case in Japan. Russia will determine the terms of the treaty, offering the people of Ukraine a deal they cannot refuse - freedom, real democracy, and a better life.

"Why Are More Women Saying No To Having Kids?" I wonder. Could it be simply because more and more women have realised that they only have one life, and that this life had better be unburdened by kids? Nah, of course it couldn't be that. The reasons must be much more complicated and heart-wrenching, mustn't they?

Excellent🎉🎉🎉

The conflict in Ukraine is often portrayed as a straightforward struggle: Russia as the aggressor, the West as the defender of freedom, and Ukraine as the victim caught in the crossfire. However, a deeper analysis reveals a far more complex narrative, one that implicates Western actions and multinational corporate interests in setting the stage for this devastating conflict. By alienating Russia, fostering geopolitical tensions, and allowing corporate greed to permeate the rebuilding of Ukraine, the West has played a significant role in shaping the tragic events we see today. Western Provocation and Russia's Alienation The roots of the Russia-Ukraine war lie in decades of Western policies that disregarded Russia’s security concerns. NATO’s relentless eastward expansion, despite informal assurances post-Cold War that it would not move "one inch eastward," created a sense of encirclement in Moscow. Ukraine’s potential NATO membership became a red line for Russia, yet the West insisted on pushing forward, ignoring clear warnings from geopolitical analysts like John Mearsheimer. The 2014 Maidan Revolution, heavily backed by the West, further antagonized Russia, resulting in the annexation of Crimea and the destabilization of Eastern Ukraine. By imposing sanctions and dismissing Russia’s historical ties to Ukraine, the West not only deepened the divide but also drove Russia into a closer alliance with China. This strategic miscalculation has created a powerful Russia-China bloc that now challenges Western hegemony. Corporate Interests in Ukraine's Reconstruction While geopolitics drove the war, the aftermath has unveiled a different kind of opportunism. Multinational corporations, financial institutions, and Western powerhouses have shown immense interest in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. This is not merely a matter of altruistic investment-it is an economic strategy. Ukraine, known as the "breadbasket of Europe," is home to some of the world’s most fertile land. The 2020 land reform law, which lifted a longstanding moratorium on farmland sales, opened the floodgates for foreign investors. U.S.-based entities like NCH Capital and agribusiness giants like Cargill and Monsanto (now Bayer) have established a foothold in Ukraine’s agricultural sector. The privatization of Ukraine’s arable land raises significant concerns about sovereignty and control over the country’s most vital resources. Simultaneously, financial institutions like BlackRock have taken a prominent role. In 2022, BlackRock signed an agreement to advise the Ukrainian government on structuring reconstruction funds, signaling the alignment of corporate interests with Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts. Citigroup has maintained operations in Ukraine throughout the war, supporting multinational clients and preparing for the financial opportunities reconstruction will bring. A Systemic Land Grab? The convergence of corporate and geopolitical interests in Ukraine has led to fears of a modern-day land grab. Critics warn that Ukraine’s devastation is being leveraged to transform the nation into an economic outpost for Western corporations. While multinational entities position themselves as saviors, their actions often prioritize profit over Ukraine’s long-term sovereignty and independence. Consider the agricultural sector: with nearly 28% of Ukraine’s arable land already controlled by oligarchs and foreign investors, the risk of land concentration is real. The involvement of companies like BlackRock in advising Ukraine’s economic future further underscores the extent to which corporate interests are intertwined with the nation’s recovery. While these entities may not have instigated the war, they stand to gain immensely from its aftermath. The Debt Trap: Financial Institutions and Ukraine's Future Beyond land and reconstruction, major financial institutions have extended substantial loans to Ukraine, ostensibly to aid in its recovery. However, these loans come with significant strings attached. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a 48-month extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Ukraine, amounting to approximately $15.6 billion. This arrangement is part of a $115 billion total support package for Ukraine. While such financial support is crucial for immediate needs, the long-term implications are concerning. The accumulation of debt, coupled with the conditions often imposed by international lenders-such as austerity measures, structural adjustments, and economic policy dictates-can lead to a loss of economic sovereignty. Ukraine may find itself in a position where servicing debt takes precedence over domestic development, social programs, and infrastructure investment. This debt dependency could render Ukraine poorer and unable to pay off its obligations for decades, effectively chaining the population to a cycle of indebtedness. The West’s Responsibility: Pushing Russia and Exploiting Ukraine The West’s actions have not only alienated Russia but also plunged Ukraine into a war that serves multiple Western interests. By disregarding Russia’s security concerns and fostering an environment of geopolitical antagonism, the West set the stage for this conflict. At the same time, the devastation of Ukraine has created fertile ground for multinational corporations to profit from reconstruction, agriculture, and financial restructuring. These developments beg the question: Was Ukraine truly a victim of unprovoked aggression, or is it also a pawn in a larger game of Western power projection and economic opportunism? The lines between humanitarian aid and exploitation blur when corporations and financial institutions take center stage in the rebuilding process, often sidelining the voices of ordinary Ukrainians. Conclusion: A Call for Accountability The war in Ukraine is not simply a battle between nations; it is a reflection of systemic failures in Western policy, corporate opportunism, and global power struggles. While Russia bears responsibility for its actions, the West cannot absolve itself of its role in provoking the conflict and enabling corporate exploitation of Ukraine’s tragedy. The reconstruction of Ukraine must be transparent, equitable, and focused on restoring sovereignty to its people-not selling its resources and future to the highest bidder. The West, having pushed Russia into confrontation, must now ensure that Ukraine does not become the ultimate casualty of greed and geopolitics. The blood spilled in this war will stain not just Russia’s hands but also those of the West, whose actions and inactions have fueled both the conflict and the corporate scramble for control.

Many points came into full effect.

john mccain was also mentioned. Victor Yanukovich, Vladimirovich putin, angela merkel. francois Hollande.

I deeply apologize, but as someone who has lived their entire life in Ukraine, I can assure you that there has never been a civil war there. This highly respected lecturer seems more like a "good friend of Putin" (if you know what I mean) than an objective analyst of the situation. Yes, for the United States, Russia is more important than Ukraine, and this is true for any other country in the world for understandable reasons. But does this mean that Russians have the right to take away Ukrainians' language and statehood? And how will this affect the international image and respect for the United States of America?

This guy is a complete moron

Western military aid to Ukraine and Ukraine's own funding exceeds the Russian military budget between 2022-2024

The logical about "homo economicus" is amazing! Tks!

This video has helped John Mearshimer become famous

Now, TRUE LEGITIMATE LAWS are not invented out-of-the-blue, they are a natural consequence (nations are organisms, not CONTRACTS) of CULTURE (religion, language, ART, and customs), they cannot be imposed by force to the whole PLANET at once..., thus, the enforcers of this system are bound to DESTROY CULTURES, this is why they are doing it SYSTEMATICALLY for the las 200 years or more using the MONEY acquired financing the Napoleonic wars and previous WARS were committed to gain WORLD POWER using MONEY via pseudo DEMOCRACIES...

It is not about the political system (although it is a handy vector), it is about imposing GLOBAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ENFORCED by the HEGEMON in HEGEMON's courts of 'justice".

The reality is an HEGEMON controlled by an "elite" printing MONEY, and the "right" to BUY all assets in the WORLD with that MONEY (US dollars).

I disagree with Prof. Mearsheimer in that "the West" promotes democracy because "we believe that who is getting elected would be pro Western"", not at all... It is framed in a dichotomic way, INTERNATIONALISM with an HEGEMON imposing GLOBAL PROPERTY RIGHTS against a MULTIPOLAR world precluding this to happen and preserving CULTURE...

The fault in this analysis is assuming that there re no Jews in Ukraine despite the fact that their president now (2024) Zelensky is Jewish...

I love Russian rubles 😍. J.M.

Great information! Thanks for sharing

Fantastic teacher. I'm not extremely knowledgeable but I've been trying to get an overview of the issues with the world power since the Ukrainian war broke out, as a european myself, and I've listened to 2 hour interviews with Putin, revisited his 2007 Munich speech that broke the tone of the modern world, and viewed american politics and NATO articles etc. I think this teacher has such a clean and accurate overview of the western perception of things. There was a lot of propaganda I had to consume that I tried to take at face value. But it ultimately comes down to Putin being a murderer. We had reason to enroach towards him once we learned he was assassinating his opponents and using censorship against us, and once he made his position clear in 2007. We knew he was a threat. We just didn't know he was a military threat yet.

And guess who the President of the USA was in 2021-2022 ? America might need to read a book one day.

I enjoy the privy that is Martin Buber's perspective in time, and the privy that is discerning that particular element of time in his perspective. We see one who does not merely accept - but an original thinker. We are privy to an intellectual/spiritual journey and see Buber was distinct from his philosophical and religious influences. My Pops has long held, with no familiarity with Buber's work, that there is a worthy distinction to be made between having faith (Mark 11.22) and belief ("The Faith" or dogmatic faith). Unbeknownst to him Martin Buber's Two Types of Faith. I think Buber is relevant today. Modest fortitude, simplicity, and humble consideration admidst the confluence of these other chaotic energies e.g. through two world wars.

17-11-24. I truly believe our mind heals our bodies and most importantly the need to be negative about yourself. I stopped feeling g sorry a week after my condition and told my mind how great I am how grateful I was to have living n caring friends and the treatment I received I was grateful. Two weeks before 28th September I had severe gastro for five n moderate for ten. Suddenly I woke 26th with pain across my right shoulder into my neck. I thought stroke. In the morning my left arm feeling was feeling heavy. I had a massage n rested. Early Friday morning I woke with right arm. Saturday morning I work and both arms couldn't work. I manage to use one finger to ring my friend. My arms were no longer useable. It was decided to take me to hospital. I manage to walk with two people supporting me for about 30 steps then suddenly collapse I was totally paralyzed from the neck down to feet. At the hospital after many test I am diagnosed with GBS. I was admitted to ICU and put on oxygen as my breathing deteriorated n a catheter was inserted as I didn't know how to pee. GBS is Gillian Barr Syndrome. It's a rare disease of about 1 in 150,000 world wide. It's where your antibodies couldn't fight the infection so it turns on your motor neurone nerves system closing done your body. I was terrified n confit, as I'm normally an active person swimming dancing living life in Bali. At day three I begged to die, day five also. Then I was told I was needed urgent treatment of immunoglobulin transfusion for five days. It wasn't under insurance so cost was 27,500 aust. Laying completely paralyzed being put in pampas- nappies.was my biggest disgrace. As I couldn't afford the treatment they decided to continue with the high dosage of steroids. In Bali hospital one must have a a friend or family stay to do the 24/7 care, again I lost all dignity. You need to provide all equipment for cleaning the body, bed mats, pampas, even water n food unless you eat what is given. The meal three times a day was a cup of soggy rice, 1/4 cup shredded chicken and egg. 1/4 salty vege soup, three bites of water melon or paw paw, one glass of water. I was also allowed two half glasses of warm milk n two bananas. I probably only ate equivalent to one cup a day. In the beginning I wanted to be sick swallowing the rice and only could eat a few mouthfuls. My friend who slept on the ground next to me introduce me to listening to iPods and talks about the mind body connection. How the mind can visualise situations. So when my meal came he got all excited saying IMG sue look what we have super special alcate. In this bowl is lemon Bintang..a lemon beer😊 over here spaghetti special. Ape pie and cream . The salty soup was a island tea😊 a tea with five spirits in my favourite drink. Actually over time I started to take in a few more mouth fulls but not enough to sustain me. The listening to mind and body connection also help me visualise. To be somewhere else when I was sweating in a ward with no aircon. I visualised being home in the pool. The ocean breeze across me n I did infact feel cooler. When it came to pain even though I was paralyzed yes the many many needles of blood testing, I also had five spinal fluid test in one episode in my ward. I acknowledge the pain then told my mind to take the pain on a cloud and go. Nurses and specliast were surprised how strong I was. They continue apologize saying this will hurt, asking me was I in pain as this was one of the symptoms. I would smile and say no then thank them for the treatment. They explained how serious this condition was and the possibility of being on a breathing tube if needed. They explained I would take 6-12 months to learn to walk, would never 24/7 care for a long time. WRONG! After 10 days in ICU I was stabled to go to second ICU which was a four bed ward. You didn't see the nurses too often say 14 I was moved to another ward. Then I was given shock treat say 15. Again the specialist kept asking was I in pain and again I replied it's ok. Through my mind I also learnt to breath through pain. I was asked how did I cope with such pain. My answer was having six children you go through pain. But having your daughter murdered in 2017 that's the worse pain I could go through yet survived so any other pain was nothing. Day 16 I felt my toes move then ankles feet up to my knees. Wow that was it. I was determined to get moving. By the evening my legs were moving slowly. I thought mind you can walk think how. After pooing iny pampas once I was determined not to do it again. I asked staff to support me to fit up. Give me the chair and with help I stood and slowly shuffle to the toilet. Yes my first poo in a toilet. The specialist were amazed on my walking. On my slow recovery being shown. My arm movements return very slowly but enough to use my thumb n forefinger so I started to try eat by myself. Though I needed help to sit up my achievements were small but I believe it's because of my mindset and working with my mind and body. My warm milk was my pain killers , my light that started from my feet working up.yhrough my body to heal. 😊 Day 19 I was allowed to go home but was advised it will be a flow hard recovery. Settling in yes first night a friend stayed but I realised I would be ok after 7pm. My only problem was the toilet as it was too low. Again a strategy. I straddle the bowl n.peed😊. Doing poop was a struggle as I needed help off the toilet. Lucky they put in a wet bidae a toilet squirter but due to weakness of hands and learning to use this bum cleaner the water went every where😊. Then my toilet chair came. Each day I listen to two talks about the mind how it can heal. How the body and mind work together. I would thank my mind for being open n big and ask with my body to send healing light from my feet up scanning my muscles, nerves organs to heal. Day three of home I was in the pool with support n by day five I was shuffling along in my villa. People were amazed on how quickly I was progressing. To making a small cup.of tea, making cereals to learning how to write, to cleaning my teeth. I have been out of hospital one month and I am totally independent. Yesterday due to my electric chair stuffing up I was forced to walk a short distance doing the pool with my cane. So another achievement. I'm yet to be able to leave the resort due to unstable road conditions and the hill but in time. 😊 I'm so happy to have been taught the importance of the mind and body is one. So here I am told 6-12 months or longer to walk and get my skills back and I achieved it in a month. I had my first dance being held last week. Where I live we have a band twice a week and I'm known as the dancing queen. The night I walked by myself to my friends they were speechless crying. Now I hope to inspire others. I'm writing a book and one day it may be published 😊

wow, very moving

Oh no stigmata

The University of Chicago spent the last century correctly predicting that any nation in Latin America that didn't surrender control over it's valuable resources to western capitalists would have their leaders overthrown by America. Incredible predictive power!

In the first Q&A response he ends up talking about how incredibly secure the USA is. I think that may be the one foolish thing he said in this presentation. At this point many are betting on the fall of the empire.
