@@Boymanjusri. Interesting nuance. As a European I share your reservations. Once a military, always a U.S. neocon combattant, I guess. Mearsheimer remains diehard US to the core, half stating what are self evident half truths to a more radically independent European mind. The Middle East, the US’ oily genocidal playground, is near Europe where the loathed « Empire of Lies » is seen for what is - an intolerably archaic colonial oppressor. For a faintly literate US audience, Mearsheimer seems terribly radical - a voice of dissent, going as far as to almost ruffle the odd establishment feather even … will he put his university job at risk by being non compliant, one wonders? How admirably daring! &c For some Europeans, Mearsheimer appears timorous, benign and very quickly repetitious. There is a lack of deep research, fresh thinking or original analysis. Throughout the Ukraine proxy war conflict, he repeated the same point but fail to acknowledge the U.S. neocon regime’s self evident longstanding responsibility, involvement and agenda - his presentations failed to provide the lucid, pragmatic and prescient insights of Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, Chas Freeman, Paul Scott Roberts, and most notably, Jacques Baud, whose analyses were consistently vindicated by subsequent events month after month from February 2022 to this day. Mearsheimer remains a U.S. neocon establishment figure. Good historians analyze evidence, details, forensics, studied as « facts » with humane impartiality (as far as humanly possible) and are encouraged to avoid peddling generalizations or one stop blandening theses. Mearsheimer’s underlying objective is to « tut tut » at what he terms « strategic blunders » - whilst everybody across the world apart from the U.S. domestic audience knows perfectly well that Iraq was state sponsored genocide for which Bush Senior ostentatiously made no apology as a self-confessed « exceptionalist » mass murderer (and like father like son, however much you dress it up for public consumption). Mearsheimer’s implicit brief is to provide counsel on how US hegemonic dominance may be perpetuated further - rather than to critique and challenge the systemic lies and injustices that perpetuate its sickening injustices that have devastated mankind for 75 horrifying years and slowed equitable development. By contrast, Chomsky analyses are profound, humanistic, deeply researched, factual and constantly surprising, consistently unsettling and genuinely radical. Chomsky is a true dissident, a man of scholarship whose line of attack was « linguistics » : exposing the underlying agendas lurking beneath the methods and language used by the U.S. neocon regime’s « globalist » agenda to manipulate political and media discourse in order to colonize the world’s economy imperceptibly by « manufacturing consent ». Former Trump foreign affairs advisor, war veteran, military historian, honorary European and published scholar Colonel Macgregor is close to Chomsky’s critique of the neocon system when he describes US democracy with dismay as « government by sponsors ». Systemic mass media propoganda leads to dysfunctional, discredited and decadent pseudo « democracy ». The U.S. is a military dictatorship controlled by Wall Street and held hostage by the Israeli project’s defenders who control bipartisan congress through lobbying with money. The depth and extent of its corruption is now leading to its irreversible collapse - as dedollarisation accélérâtes globally. The U.S. is overstretched and surpassed militarily and economically by Russia Iran China North Korea, backed by BRICS+50 representing 90% of the world’s population which rejected the U.S. neocon regime’s diktats to impose suicidal sanctions unilaterally on the world’s largest country and most important key commodity supplier, Russia. The US neocon regime’s thirty year attempt at colonizing Ukraine, Europe’s largest and most naturally rich region, through a premeditated, planned and provoked proxy war against Russia in its immediate border in such a way as to threaten Russia’s defence security, economy, millennial spiritual, cultural and demographic identity, and its very existence as a country - failed militarily. That failure is triggering the collapse of the U.S. neocon regime once and for all. The Eurasia Union empowered healthily by a non belligerent, consensual, cooperative and constructive China is the way forward. The U.S. neocon regime is now powerless to stop it at long long last.

I agree with you and love Mearsheimer I am just saying the relief we feel when hearing him speak just speaks to the horrid conditions of the world right now.

I admire the willingness of the venue to allow some of the members of the public to stray from what ought to be considered decent conduct in their questions in the interest of openness and dialogue, and I admire even more the ability of the authors to address some of these more flippant "questions" and outright accusations with the typifying calm and clarity of serious scholars. There's no question that the influence of the Israel lobby is a matter warranting serious public and scholarly interrogation, if not concern for some of the reasons mentioned at this discussion. It speaks to the salience of this topic that even ten years after this video was published, the influence of the Israel lobby remains as politically charged now as it was then. Bravo to both gentlemen for their work on the issue and for the moral and academic integrity it must have required to conduct the research and publish their findings.

Former Jewish habitation in Palestine was of no more significance than that of many other clans of modern humans that settled in this area during the last 60,000 years. The Jewish claim that this land was promised to them by their particular god is meaningless folklore and should not be a factor in resolving this land dispute. The State of Israel was a bad idea from it’s inception. Somehow we Americans got stuck supporting this mess. The Israelis have abused our support and we are paying a high price for it. We should not be taking sides in a conflict based on other people’s religious mythology. Those people who feel the need to conduct a “Holy War” over this area, including Americans, should do so over there and at their own expense.

I agree. Just remember, Zionism is the brief, not Judaism. Zionism is a polical/ nationalistic movement. It was picked up in the US not by mainstream christianity, but by the TV evangelists looking for exciting sermons in an apocalypse. Pat Robertson, the Hagee guy. Several others. Within Judaism there is a solid belief that israel was forbidden to form a country and that's why they've never simply bought and or moved into a sparsely populated area. Most Jews are secular, non observant, so that it was easy to convince ww2 refugees that they had a 'right' to live somewhere.. ..... they too were largely secular. So the talmud believers gained popularity over Torah believers. Zionism is an exclusive separate belief from Judaism and the actual problem here. Formulated in 1897.

As to Mearsheimer's persistent claim that the oil and military industrial complex does not drive America's Mid-East policies in any way...what about the 1953 CIA overthrow of Iran's democratically elected government? The sole reason for that action was to seize Iran's oil reserves, and it was entirely driven by U.S. and British oil companies and their interests. That is the direct cause of the hostile relationship we have today with Iran. I think the oil companies had tremendous influence then, and have tremendous influence today. Also, Haliburton. They clearly influenced Dick Cheney and profited massively from the Iraq War. Mearsheimer really didn't do his research on this.

*Iran & Afghanistan have become one of the hottest regions on the planet in the 20th century, marking the very border between the two major areas of influence from the times of ‘Cold War’. That’s also one reason why USSR had no choice but to intervene in Afghanistan once the US had been kicked out of Iran in 1979. Beside Ukraine, of course, Palestine, Taïwan, Tibet, Cuba, etc. clearly appear to belong those most sensitive ‘red line’ territories that should’ve been made officially, mandatorily, and definitely neutral (under the aegis of the UN, for example). He who rejects a priori such common sense solutions just chose to let the door wide open to further irresponsible provocations in capacity to turn into a suicidal WW. Stop playing with fire, guys. What’s the use of having your names in all history books, when history itself has no more future?

This advice must be revisited - hopefully with more widespread reception.

The silver lining in the current Mid East clamity is bringing my generation into the discussion. As long as both sides are open to talking and disagreeing with the goal of progress, there’s hope.

Again Mearsheimer, and Walt with him on this, proves to be prescient. Such a brilliant man. If only the powers that be would listen to him.

Eleven. Years. Ago. This only continues to galvanize John Meirsheimers place as Americas foremost intellect on foreign policy

just look at the q&a, one must sympathise how hard it is to be political scientists.

He does know. The situation so bad that when smart people like these guys speak up and play nice they get hammered. What happens when they play hard ? Ruined careers, car accidents and heart attacks.

Hey, fortune teller, they did not play hard enough? 4 years passed, or should we wait little bit longer. Just guessing, "they" could not pick up right car model for accident.

What’s great discussion, I listen in Japan and discuss about 2 country solutions is necessary for long term peach

I find the stance of the "realist political scientist" (or at least these two) interesting: certain fields allow for the open expression of personal feeling in scholarship. Others, like biology, discourage such expression by their practictioners. These two walk some line between the two, and they do it very well and convincingly.

I honestly wouldn't call them "personal feelings", but just general statements based on real patterns of historical, social, political and economic realities. As someone with a political science degree, all of their statements have been based on facts and events recorded from legitimate sources. It might seem like "personal feelings" because of the words they have personally chosen? I guess in political science there are less vocabulary/jargon restraints than the natural sciences? Also, you have to remember this was a forum for the public. In journal articles they would probably use political science theoretical terms more strictly, like game theory, democratic peace etc. But bear in mind this is for the public, so they would probably try to use as less jargon as possible so the audiences can understand more. ✌️

The guy at 53:30 is referring to the followers of Leo Strauss.

why talk about money when you are not going to look at how we got away with paying repatations to European jews for crimes against them by their own countries, by giving up a part of the british colonial empire that they were anxious to divest. If we wanted to give them a homeland we could have given them germany, or an economic interest in germany. instead we paid to rebuild germany while allowing russia to occupy east germany for forty years. we had no business endorsing giving, and the british had no business giving their colonial possession to anyone other than the palestinians. Imagine if Britain had given Rhodesia to the Zionists as a homeland. It is preposterous, it is a crime to deliver to Zionists land stolen from the Palestinians. Maybe some entity referred to as Israel deserves to exist. it does not 'deserve' to exist in Palestine.

Yes please!! Let them wipe their own ass from now on! I'm American, not Jewish.

Have JM and/or SW given any more recent talks on this subject that might encompass the UK?

They handled the questions really well

Reminds me of a lecture of John Brown USA Chief Military commander under president Nixon Quote ( Israel is more a liability to USA than an assets).

Excellent and factual conversation.. Thank you both

John & Sthephen you are right, you’re wonderful

Question ::: what kind of government iraq is practising now after the war ???

can't believe this video is 11 years old

I like your book. Those who complain about your book, don’t like to hear the truth.

Congratulations 👏 and lots of love and blessings 💞

Time for a re-watch , sadly

Mosadek, the demographically elected President of Iran, was overthrown by the American CIA on behalf of British Petrolium. in 1952.

Greetings, Love And Respect To Mr Mearshemeir And Mr WALT For Speaking Up On Colonizer/ Apartheid Israel LOBBYISTS + ITS ENABLERS!! ❤❤👏👍🙏🏼😇

It’s because human beings are at varying depths of intellect. Once they know Israel is not divine they say it is evil. Neither is true. Humans are humans and a sensible rational realist philosophy and policy is better for all nations involved.

yes.

Still relevant today. The scrip has not changed.

Love the old guy who called out the Neocons name.

The Q&A session deserves popcorn, perhaps shots lol

John Mershimer's concluding answer in the discussion sums up the entire discussion outsandingly well - "You all know the reason (sic. why we get so much American criticism)... The Lobby".

How do I join up? I want in.

John’s Tragedy of Power Politics is a great book, read it and loved it

You need to understand theyve had centuries not decades to conceal their hate . Provides the conviction .

While both John Mearsheimer and Kenneth waltz claim themselves as Structural realists, they never cross reference each other in any of their talks. Anyone have any idea about that?

The John Mearsheimer is like Dr who always let the patient die by suffering and die little by little to hurt very hard, than he will show up and then comes and cry near his death, bed, and ask why he died , but he will not say, he did not want to save him, at all, like I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.

52:25 The entire video was worth it for just this guy.

By the way. Why is east Prussa not considered to be illegally occupied by Poland? What's the difference?

For one thing: Polish people live in "East Prussia" and Polish police is not storming German churchs.

What’s their opinion on Christopher Bollyn‘s investigation results on 9/11 ?

debate allowed in democracy but given no answers

If israel lobby declares that sky is pink and not blue, all congressmen/women will immediately say, " Naturally the sky is pink'

People tend to follow clowns instead of scholars when it comes to Israel. On the one hand we got scholars like this man, Chomsky and Finkelstein. On the other we got clowns like Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Sam harris etc. Its sad most people follow the later. Just look at the views of the videos, those clowns get more views.
