Most Americans are living in their grandiosity bubble of manifested destiny, and could not hear Mearsheimer blowing the whistle.

Thank-you

I heard the intro loud and clear but volume is way too low on the main speaker.

1:08:00 is my favorite part. “Shaping the human evironment”... XD

Mearsheimer starts at 8:02

Do any of these military officers know that 9/11 was a Mossad operation?

Mearsheimer's comments regarding Middle East energy importance fails to take into account the following: We don't need carbon fuel. Google: MIT Study Shows Geothermal Could Produce 100,000 Megawatts of . Also Ford hydrogen engines

These guys are remarkable. Syria was scared into negotiation and Libya went down. Politics aside the US military proved that governments could be taken down with lighting strikes. The two governments went down in Iraq and Afghanistan very fast. It was the nation building that cost so much. It is easy to destroy but hard to build. The fact that two nations were rebuilt in the span of a decade was amazing. Call them loses but we are now a nation of victims and these results don't fit that.

starts at 8:25... 2013 "there is no threat on the horizon in europe" 2014 OOPS.

This is pre Russian intervention into the Ukraine. The thing that mr Mearsheimer says will make Europe less likely to be a major concern for the US (underpopulation) is exactly what is making Europe volitile. When you look at the annexation of Crimea and the unrest in eastern Ukraine brought on by pro Russian partisans supported by the Russian Spatznaz, you cant help but think that this is the result of Russia wanting to increase its population and prestige. And I would add that once the Russian oil line to Europe is complete, Russia could extort Europe into cutting trade links with the US in order to get oil and natural gas from the Russian Federation. Thereby hurting the US economically.

+Steve Cochrane I didn't want to "increase" its population or prestige, but only maintain what little it had.... given Ukrainian's decision to upon up to NATO .... it was purely defensive in nature.

lol go watch Mearsheimer’s talk titled “The US, Not Russia is the reason for the crisis in Eastern Ukraine”

this was merely a sideshow....

This speaker is dangerous, Chinese's real enermy is the Japanese, Chinese are friends to the united States. Plus, China now has 150% of US's industrial output (PPP), no one can win a conventional war with China now on its shore. No one can penetrate China's missile defense. If you want to fight a land war with China you are a mad man, their rockets/missiles/tanks will fry your army. The US Grand strategy should be to form a G2 to keep the world in in order.

United Staes doesn't need to fight China to win a war. China needs other countries to buy the products produced in their fantories. If they cannot sell their factory goods to the world then they will have no money for an advanced military.

Steve Chau Mearshiemer is not advocating for a war with China, he is saying that the United States will act like all great powers and contain China and it's growing influence in the region.
