This is a terrific program. I think that after watching each episode but this concluded brilliantly and prompted my comment. The full hour format with no fluff allows academics like Mearsheimer and Walt to convey a good overview of their ideas, especially when they come so well prepared. This will be a resource for generations.

They are all so good, the way how the host talk to them, they are calm not hostile, hard to see such conversation today.

“1: they smear us. 2: they misrepresent our argument. 3: they call our scholarship shoddy.” Did I hear or read this somewhere else?

[@doubleuponbob3397]

I read that directly printed on my own exam papers from university.

I have little doubt that videos such as this, along with more and more articles that bring the reality into the light of day, are making our secretive overlords very nervous. How many Americans are aware that all US congress persons are carefully vetted and assessed by AIPAC before they begin their terms, and during their terms?

Informative talk about Israel Lobby and US Politics and Foreign Policy... looking at the current Israel war against all peoples in Gaza + West Bank, Palestine. 🤔 😎 IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE -- PEACE, EQUITY, AND JUSTICE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE WORLD ‼️❤💞🕊🌍🕊🕊❤️🙏💞💐🙏🕊

Okay

La cravatta di Mearsheimer è improponibile. E' chiaro che il bravo soldatino stia molto meglio in uniforme. Mearsheimer's tie is orrible. But he's a soldier, and the military uniform is his best habit...

One should ask themselves why these guys, and people like them, aren’t running the show.

[@anteandrovic]

because they are respected academics, not politicians, or cowardly utube commentators

[@vivianoosthuizen8990]

How can America call this for the people by the people and the voting is then just a facade because it’s for all by the very few in the interest groups

The Israeli Lobby's influence appears stonger than ever during todays Israeli government and others sanctioned 2023-2024 Gaza Genocide? Biden's refusal to reduce rather than increase military aid along with other countries most notably in Europe apoears likely to find them guilty of complicity in Genocide against Palastinians increasing anti "West" multipolarity. Deliberative Democracy offers hope with it's thinking debating time but political considerations find the intelligence communities lead by those prioritising their personal careers above national security. National Security directors should resign on mass to sort International Relations from humanitarian lobbies new or existing. Blinkered, greedy or scared they remain quiet failng their legacies and all.

No...it is not that the United States should be kicked out of the United Nations but rather that the UNITED NATIONS should be taken out off the UNITED STATES, for only then will it ever actually mean something within its own body of power.

Their "research" is the equivalent of the protocols of the elders of zion.
