John J Mearsheimer: The Great Delusion

Political Science recently hosted John Mearsheimer as part of the FPA Research Series.
Mearsheimer’s lecture, entitled “The Great Delusion”, described the rise and fall of liberal hegemony-the United States’ attempt to remake the world in America’s image- since the end of Cold War.

His points about the one sided Western media is painfully accurate - even more so today. It was absolutely fascinating!

And Ukraine/Russia is just the latest wreckage. 2008, “ Ukraine and Georgia will be admitted into NATO” Two countries on Russia’s border in NATO, how did people think Russia would respond!! And the stupidest thing is that it was said they could join NATO, but then nothing was done, it hung both of those countries out to dry! And the problems with Ukraine, Europe, NATO, EU and Russia are going to be minor, compared to the problems that are headed the United States’ way with China.

When that happens, people will get angry. When people get angry, they'll want someone to blame. Politicians will latch on this and play the blaming games. Only instead of blaming China, they'll blame the other party. Polarization will tear apart the country irregardless. No one seems interested in analyzing why China is able to do so well. They dare not ponder if there is merit to centralized planning. Or if there is merit to a one-party system based on meritocracy. No one questions America's inefficient system that seems designed to get nothing done. No one ever points out that multi- party systems tend to end up with extremely polarized citizens. Or how we appear schizophrenic to other countries because our leaders often undo the work of their predecessors. No one questions the foolishness of allowing stupid citizens to determine policies. There are so many flaws in America's systems, its unfair and immature to blame it on China. The notion that China's rise caused our downfall is foolish, dangerous and just plain wrong.

    ​@Dark Clouds ​ In his video arguing that Ukraine was America's fault, he explicitly stated that 1) Putin would rather destroy Ukraine economically than invade it 2) He predicted that Russia and US relations would strengthen to deal with the looming threat of China. (Most of his predictions are wrong because he believes that China is itching to conquer the world through force when in reality, China is only interested in economic growth) 2) NATO commitment in Europe would be significantly diminished during Trump's presidency. He was incorrect on all of his claims. He didn't predict the Ukraine war and if anything argued that it would not happen. With regards to your statements, yes, the US was the most involved in this conflict besides Russia and Ukraine's actions. Yes, Russia attacked in response to NATO's encroaching influence on Russia's boarders, and the idea that Ukraine might join NATO (very real possibility under Biden's hyper liberal presidency) drove Putin to attack Ukraine when it was neutral, because the day after Ukraine joins NATO any attack against Ukraine would have been met with the full military force of 30+ nations as well as the USA.

    Since this appears to be a serious thread, I thought that I'd toss in my two cent's worth. I apologize in advance if this becomes lengthy, and will try to keep it short. In a 1946 letter to a friend, the physicist Albert Einstein said that: "The discovery of the splitting of the atom has changed everything except man's way of thinking. Thus we drift toward catastrophe beyond comprehension. We shall require an entirely new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive". Students of history can see that no new manner of thinking among men has arisen in the decades since the end of the Second World War. This is THE fundamental general problem in a nutshell- man's manner of thinking. Democracy, communism, socialism and totalitarianism have little to do with this because all of them could- at least theoretically- work, with proper human application. Specifically, the fundamental problem regarding man's manner of thinking is our obsession with something so endemic to human nature that we as a species don't even question it's existence; instead, we regard it as "natural". That specific problem is competition. For eons, man competed against the lower animals to establish which would become "Lords of the jungle". Having triumphed over the lower animals, man then competed against himself to establish who would become "Lord of the Lords of the jungle". This, we've done ever since- and in all that time, we have never realized that our true objective must be to leave the jungle and become a truly human civilization- with all the positive things associated with that goal. Today as before, we continue to compete against one another, and in every single aspect of life. But today, we're all but out of time. The problems facing humanity because of overpopulation and climate change are barely being addressed- but the major powers all spend vast sums of money to enhance their armaments. Within a decade, both China and India will be facing a critical fresh water shortage, and temperature increases associated with climate change will cause many of the traditional "breadbaskets" to experience catastrophic shortfalls in crop yields. Without a new manner of thinking, man will resolve these issues as we have always done- by war.

    Wow this guy gets it. I have been thinking along the same lines for a while now but I find this way of thinking can be polarizing when voiced out in the US due to lack of education about world history and current affairs in certain schools/areas, the regional bubble effect, and prevalent US centric views (partly influenced and reinforced by certain media outlets). So it's refreshing to hear this unabashed analysis coming from a well spoken professor, confirming some conclusions I've reached from my amateur explorations.

    Several premises in this discussion are not accurate. The US is not a unified country in support of a "liberal "democracy. Liberal democracies don't exist. They don't exist here and they don't exist in any other country. We are a republic....not a democracy. Members of the Commonwealth are not liberal democracies, they are colonies with "monarch" permitted democracy. Globally, the same group of families that get rich in each war was in power in the 1500s and they are still in power today. An interesting series of three-point discussions. The real play of the Russian corrupt leader invading the Ukrainian corrupt leader is invisible at this point...regardless of what the war fear mongers continue to spout each day in propaganda show after propaganda.

    18:20 I respect Prof. Mearsheimer's perspective deeply, however, the statement he makes "What the United States had done in the first half of the 20th century is it had defeated fascism", it is this American exceptionalism that really blinds the people and politicians of the U.S. from acknowledging that the world was not actually unipolar like the Americans had imagined, even during WW2, and after. The Soviet Union (of which Russia was the major part of) was also equally involved in defeating fascism--just going by the sheer human cost (military and civilian)--the USSR actually put down the larger share of that down payment towards creating a peaceful world without the Nazis dictating terms, which is in no modest estimates--even if you look at it from the U.S. perspective--something we should ignore at the risk of insulting the value of those human lives lost, and the people those losses represent. It is fact. It is this exceptionalism that had blinded and misguided the U.S. foreign policy for decades. Perhaps things would have been very different if Henry Wallace was not deliberately sidelined, despite having large support for running for office, or if John F. Kennedy was not taken out. "And no nation in the history of battle ever suffered more than the Soviet Union suffered in the course of the Second World War. At least 20 million lost their lives. Countless millions of homes and farms were burned or sacked. A third of the nation's territory, including nearly two thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland--a loss equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago." -President John F. Kennedy (Washington, D.C. June 10, 1963) "I have left the obvious, essential fact to this point, namely, that it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army. In the air and on the oceans we could maintain our place, but there was no force in the world which could have been called into being, except after several more years, that would have been able to maul and break the German army unless it had been subjected to the terrible slaughter and manhandling that has fallen to it through the strength of the Russian Soviet Armies." -Winston Churchill, Speech in the House of Commons, 2 August 1944, “War Situation” and "I have always believed and I still believe that it is the Red Army that has torn the guts out of the filthy Nazis. -Winston Churchill, Speech in the House of Commons, October 1944 And this is not just a matter of what Churchill believed. It is an historical fact.

    ​@@bill_the_butcher Your instant response to only defend your own people first, that is the exact issue I highlighted in my original comment. The large part of the American public I interacted with seem to have this knee-jerk reaction, this is that exceptionalism, which lacks any genuine empathy, understanding, or openness for the "other" perspective. Of course I have met many who are not like that as well, but when the push comes to shove, the majority will rather cause misery to someone else than stop, pause for a moment and instead negotiate a sharing of responsibility for the ensuing suffering. Otherwise, what was the reason for dropping nuclear bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That is a war crime, for which the U.S. has never been held responsible, which led the nuclear genie out of the bottle. If there really was any, the very foundation of the American civilization would not have started in a Native American Genocide, and run on slavery. It would have been one of negotiating and respecting human life and dignity, from that very foundational moment till today. Since we are talking about Russia, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn couldn't have been more pertinent today: “If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” The American people, have come to a moment in history, to really look in the mirror and have a genuine spiritual soul searching, because no one else in the world, is going around moralizing the way the U.S./West is currently.

    Because the outcome is always the same. Those who start the aggression always lose. "Ukraine on Fire" on Rumble? Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somali, Eritrea, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and now Ukraine.. Each and every country they touch is ruined, smashed back to the stone age, robbed of it's resources, with millions of their innocent citizens murdered indiscriminately. That is NOT winning a war. America have been defeated in EVERY war they have engaged in. The only reason they had any modicum of success in WW2 was that they only appeared at the end, after the RUSSIANS, UK, The Indians, The African Corp, had done the bulk of the work. And once again they re-wrote their History to say THEY WON THE WAR. My foot! All they did was to lift the Nazis that were left and take them to the USA - Operation Paperclip? And there they have been, biding their time, before they can once again take over Europe?

    I think he totally missed the forest. He never even mentioned A.I. or automation. Even if America existed in an isolated bubble, A.I. and automation will still cause the collapse of capitalism. When that happens, people will get angry. When people get angry, they'll want someone to blame. Politicians will latch on this and play the blaming games. Only instead of blaming China, they'll blame the other party. Polarization will tear apart the country irregardless. No one seems interested in analyzing why China is able to do so well. They dare not ponder if there is merit to centralized planning. Or if there is merit to a one-party system based on meritocracy. No one questions America's inefficient system that seems designed to get nothing done. No one ever points out that multi- party systems tend to end up with extremely polarized citizens. Or how we appear schizophrenic to other countries because our leaders often undo the work of their predecessors. No one questions the foolishness of allowing stupid citizens to determine policies. There are so many flaws in America's systems, its unfair and immature to blame it on China. The notion that China's rise caused our downfall is foolish, dangerous and just plain wrong. At worst, China's rise speed up our downfall. It's time we acknowledge that we are the primary perpetrators to our downfall.

    America's biggest current problem is how bloody stupid we are. Too many people do no research and just vote willy nilly. Or vote based on emotions, which is how Obama got elected with such enthusiasm by most. Then he dies things like killing children via drone. And no one really cared because news outlets didn't care. Research before voting. And stop believing the news media. If they say it assume it's a lie. 😀

    I have some of Prof Mearsheimer’s books - but nothing really touches on the sheer enthusiasm and engagement he brings to the subjects he writes about when giving a talk, or engages on with others on a panel. It's a great pity these sorts of lectures are not seen by far wider than they have been. I do note that some of his commentary regarding Ukraine in past lectures has brought a lot of people to check him out, and that's (as far as I'm concerned) great. His views are engaging, challenging and far more deeply insightful than what many will instead spend hours, days and weeks consuming from a lot more "acceptable" people, those who will doubtless tell them essentially what they want to hear, but in reality will present no real challenging questions to far, far more impactful and deeper questions - those concerning where we might really be headed with this terminal adventurism we all seem caught up in thanks to the way geopolitics has worked out, wrapped up as it all so very much is in this, "the Great Delusion".

One of its great downfalls is that it utterly rejects domestic politics as having an impact on a nation's foreign policy.

    @@Patch801 "Any symptoms of hostile aspirations, denigrating attitudes to Russian problems and interests are capable of provoking serious negative shifts in Russia’s perception of the West. They can easily damage the image of the Western model and give impetus to nationalistic trends. The opposite is also correct: any gestures of sympathy, compassion, esteem vis-à-vis Russia are capable of strengthening prestige of Western values, its economic and political institutions in Russian society". Since then Russia got 2 waves of NATO expansion in Eastern Europe (swallows it as John told) and now the new one. Russia got clear attempts with Energy Charter Treaty to get unrestricted third-party access to Russia's pipelines, natural resources but not simmetrical rights for Russia in Europe. After Putin's Munich speech in 2007 and refusal of ECT ratification Russia got European Gaz Directive than Russia got 2014 Orange revolution in Ukraine and civil war in Donbass. Russia got Ukraine militirization and nizification. In fact West behaves as ша Ukrane was Nato member. Do we have anithing unusual in Russia's behaviours???

If so, my best wishes. May I suggest volunteering to help Ukraine may help to to overcome your feelings of guilt.

    Two years ago, and he laid it all out. Poor Ukraine. We "encouraged" them to pursue a future that was ultimately a tragic one.

    There's a similar lecture from 2015 where he "lays it all out", as well. It's called, "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault?"

    Only if he replaces ‘we’ with Neocons who actually are the dual nationality Zionists and who drove US foreign policy in the nineties and 2000s. Particularly, two spouses Robert Kagan and his wife Victoria Nuland were involved in policy of regime change in Iraq in 2003 and in Ukraine in 2014 respectively.

    @@masudawan8357 Somehow these people seem to believe for certain that reincarnation is an impossibility. Otherwise they would not be doing this how they are doing it. There’s certainly less harmful paths to world peace than lie to all & bathe in endless war! Anyways considering our circumstances and the censorship abilities of the elite warmongering class I feel he’s done about as good as an anti-war public speaker can, but you’re right it does not get to the source of the problem. One paying much attention to Gods chosen people will probably believe more but since 80+% of the global population have been brainwashed and selectively bred over the years into unthinking submissive slaves via divisive religious doctrines 80% of the world supposedly believes in which were invented by ‘Jesus’ who was literally openly jewish. Good luck with that one buddy. Yeah, it’s likely a terribly narcissistic plan to lie & subvert the entire world into peace but more likely is it probable that was never the plan. WW3 is about to start so maybe Americans will win what they believe to be a simple black and white conflict of good vs evil in Russia and create a global government in which these delusions that some people have will be erased from history forever or America will lose and the chosen people fly away in supermassive UFO🛸mothership buried under the holy land to come back in a decade or so to invade the global ~2032 Russo-Chinese government and takeover or do the ‘Samson option’ (the holy peoples plan to nuke the entire world, google it) from space and wait out the nuclear fallout in cryopods. (disclaimer: I’m obviously only messing mentally ill schizophrenics just for fun)

    As usual, Prof. John J. Mearsheimer brilliant, illustrious and eloquent. I take my hat off and say I would like to see him more often in the media for that still pending task of unraveling the masochistic masses from their ignorance fed by certain sectors and remind them that with lies, improvisation and biased policies we will not go anywhere.

    This professor knows little about China and yet he claims China is a threat, and openly says he hopes China growth flatline. It is quite disgusting to wish others bad, no? Why would this be okay if you say so in public about another country?
