This is the biggest issue with modern warfare and our current politcal leaders. In the past, when there were kings and queens as leaders, they went to war and their entire families were on the front lines fighting and defending civilians. That entire equation has changed, what we have now is a system where our world leaders never have to put their lives on the line. They sit from afar and press a button and people die. There is a complete imbalance in what war entails and what is risked by those who call for war.

He also boasts of manipulating the U.S. in the ongoing peace process, as the Washington Post points out: "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo accords]," he said. "I said I would, but ... I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the '67 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones; as far as I'm concerned, the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue."

This is extremely foolish and ignorant of China's history. During the cultural revolution for example, China export its marxist revolutionary teachings to many countries, provide training and arms to native armed groups (thus they are known as maoist revolutionaries), host radio stations within China itself for these maoist forces. For example, the Communist Party of Malaya which fought an insurgency against Malaysia's government has its radio station in hunan China. This only come to an end when Mao died and Deng took over. He decide that China should build economic ties instead of export marxist revolution and ordered these forces to step down. And they did. With the way China is going today, who knows if Xi will revive the cultural revolution again and build a cult of personality for himself?

Mearsheimer assumes Asia follows the "balance of power" rules of the Westphalian system. But for 1000s of years, China was dominant in the region and no other Asian power sought to "balance" against them, because that was simply unrealistic. The only way there is any "balance" of power in Asia now is if the US is included, but that just creates unnecessary potential for war. So, his analysis of power politics kind of falls apart in that context, or is simply an argument to maintain the US reach.

@keyser021

A country founded on the principles of the 2nd Amendment and the Monroe Doctrine doesn't get to determine the "balance of power" on the other side of the globe with a country five times its size and equivalent military capabilities. The US doesn't belong there in the first place. Committing mass murder through the use of nuclear weapons on an island nation that was in the throes of defeat rather than waiting for a blockade to seal the deal crowns them kings of evil who forfeit any claim of "belonging" anywhere that's beyond 2,000 miles of their own border. The fact that 4% of global population is deluded to the point that they think they control the other 96% percent of the world could only be reinforced through the fantasy machine of Hollywood where men in pink leather sing about dolls and Scientologists play make believe that the US wins wars. The US is in Asia because they can't build GPUs like the Chinese do in the Republic Of China. Plain and simple.

I am not sure you understand Mersheimer correctly. What do you mean by "balance of power in Asia"? Is there a balance of power in western hemisphere? His point is that China is looking to become a regional hegemon and the US is doing all it can to prevent that from happening. That all fits perfectly with the Professor's theory of offensive realism. The US is trying to balance against China but it is a tall order given the geography and regional balance of power within which China, being on good terms with Russia, feels pretty comfortable. That is why Mearsheimer always says that it was stupid of the US to screw up the relationship with Russia as the latter could have been a major balancing factor against China. Alas, the US chose to make an enemy out of Russia by pursuing its idiotic policies in Europe. China is the main beneficiary of that foolishness. Lastly, the statement that China has been the dominant power in the region for 1000 years is simply not true: Japan was a great power until the end of WW2, it more than challenge China. Have you heard of the "Century of Humiliation"?

@@ninelegyak No nation in Asia can effectively balance against China of today (and I shall gladly concede the same for the past long gone), that much is true. The point here is that the US does not want China to be a hegemon so it does all it can to prevent it from happening, that in itself if the "balancing" act. The US DOES have the means of balancing against China, at least to a degree. So the US goes to Asia and gets itself very, very deeply involved with all the nations it can to balance against China. It is apparently not quite enough as China keeps getting stronger (and the US - relatively weaker) hence the call in the US to "pivot towards China", i.e. spend more of everything to double-down on the balancing act. Balance does not mean an immutable status quo, it is a never-ending power struggle between the bigger nations to position them selves - relatively - better than others. At least that is the way I interpret Mearsheimer's theory and it makes plenty of sense to me.

@ninelegyak

Ай бұрын

@@libertarianbydefault The problem with the theory is that it explains why the US is balancing by linking with the security architectures of various Asian nations, but it doesn't really explain why the Asian nations should link with the US if China will be regionally dominant anyway. Consider, what benefit would Mexico get from linking its security to China to balance against the US? None. Such an action only dangerously antagonizes the regionally dominant power, so why do it? There's no threat of the US attacking its neighbors, just like China has no plans to invade anyone (except Taiwan), but it would do so if it felt an outside great power is seriously threatening its sphere, like why Russia invaded Ukraine. Seems like it would be better, even from a realist perspective, for Asian nations to not be overly linked with the US.

The people around him should be arrested. It’s utterly humiliating to watch him. This guy is sharp as a tack. A total pleasure to listen to.

감사합니다.

salute dengan Anda Pak Gita bisa mengundang akademisi dunia tentang power politics Dr. Mearsheimer, terima kasih Pak!

Amen to the hubris-humility part

A lot of respect for the professor. What I would like to hear is the consideration of the cultures' influences in the decision making, rather than focusing on how the rest of the non-Western world would make decision based on pure Western thinking. Remember, China would have to govern Taiwan island once they re-unified, which is unlike Israel (who would just go ahead to cleanse), or Russia (who would be happy if Ukraine remains a rump state).

"the Australians gonna defend Taiwan with us"? I wouldn't hold my breath on that one - the population is certainly not keen at all on doing so or being dragged by the US into another useless war, gonna be interesting if our government, whoever it may be at the time, is going to be able to force us.

The government can always mobilise their armed forces without the consent of their civilians. Would that then be a political suicide for said ruling government? That's a different question

Best interview of John Mearsheimer ive seen. Interviewer did an outstanding job, and John really captured some important perspectives. 👍👍

"that's why the American has to be there" ... come on, the Americans are in the region Not to protect its friends or the SEA nations, it's to defend its own hegemony

Mearsheimer selalu logis dan akurat, seorang maestro dari sekolah realis. Tapi yang lebih membuat respek adalah integritas dan keberaniannya untuk bicara berdasarkan ilmunya, bukan berdasar keinginan penguasa.

One of the BEST INTERVIEWS you can find on KZread. Amazing Channel and interviewer! You can tell Mr. Mearsheimer enjoyed it as much as we have... props to you. If that's the Indonesian way of speaking i wanna be Indonesian!

the US should accept the fact that nations progress and develop. let each become superpower in each continent and focus on prosperity instead of wars.

so beautiful to listen to these carefully spoken words, thank you!

Terima kasih pak Gita, Indonesia butuh orang2 yang menginspirasi seperti bapak

Thank you Prof. Meirsheimer. You are a great American hero and a gift to humanity.

The questions around South China sea are hard for John, as a settlement in South China sea will mark as an end to the US influence in South China sea. So US don't want to see it happens, or even willingly pushing for a conflict.

Good point. I fully agree with your assessment. I don’t think that china wants a conflict. There are no benefits for them when the whole region is destabilized. It would stop the economic growth. And it would push all the ASEAN incl. Taiwan towards US. Therefore the only hegemon interested in a conflict or destabilization of the region is the US. It aligns perfectly with their containment strategy for china. Furthermore the conflict would be, not surprising, far from american soil. So I hope China, ASEAN and Taiwan can somehow find a solution which benefits them and not the US.

Huge disagree. Letting China do away with settlements will just make the SEA to China as is South America to USA. China just can't let the 9 dash line go, and as long as they insist on it, I can never trust China 100% as a SE asian.

Total John Mearsheimer Fan & Follower!!! Realist Rock! Thanks 🙏🏽 you having a true statesman on your show. I plan to read up on your materials too

When talking about the US return to East Asia to contain China, the guest becomes very excited.

I have to say I love the final discussion about the Hubris-Humility index, this concept allows anyone no matter their age to be mentally agile. Also you can tell he's from New York, he pronounces the word "Idea" as "Idear", reminds me of all of my relatives that do this.

Thank you gentlemen for a great interview.I appreciate your time and thoughtful talk. It was a pleasure listening to you.

Wonderful discussion..

I think it is necessary to add to the arguement of Prof. John Mearsheimer saying China is unlikely to invade Taiwan. It was only mentioned by Prof. John Mearsheimer when interviewed by Chinese journalists "unless the Taiwanese is foolish enough to declare independence". As Prof. John Mearsheimer said nationalism is the most powerful ideology in the world, Chinese elites will be forced to start the war against becasue of the nationalism.

The fact is always never mentioned that Taiwan is officially a Chinese province, it would never classed as an invasion. It's written in the Constitution, the same constitution that Taiwan follows is the Chinese constitution, the Republic of China. There is no threat looming, no war needed unless Taiwan declares Independence. Which would never happen because it doesn't makes sense politically or economically. Live and let live. The political reunification needs to be settled by Chinese people on both side of the the Strait.

The publication of this video is rather late, close to one month after the interview. While it is interesting, the geopolitical situation changed day by day rather fast. Still kudos for the effort 👌

Professor Mearshimer has been correct about the macro geo political situation for the last 30 years, whether it be NATO expansion or Israel. The day to day trials and tribulations fluctuate.

This man is a real teacher. I wish he taught me in the university

John is the founder in Geopolics of a School of Thought '' Pragmatism'', based on a deep understanding of the various forces in presence with a rogourous evaluation of their main assets (Vision, Military, Economy, Energy,,..). He proved to be right on several occasions .He remains for viewers a great source of a credible Info in Geopolitics.

Professor Mearsheimer expressed memorable realist perspectives on the war in Ukraine and Middle East issues, except when it came to China. It was also his first mention of communism, liberalism, and nationalism. In fact, Most of Chinese people do not believe in communism at all, nor does the Chinese Communist Party; it is merely a tool for governance and national renewal. Chinese culture is non-aggressive, influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism, which has maintained two thousand years of relationship with neighboring countries. I also believe this 2000-year-experience can avoid wars in South China Sea.

You are right to some degree but Chinese do actually support their Communist government, they themselves are not Communists as per say but they understand it and know it works for China, it is Socialism and they are all for it. They just aren't that "Communist" you think it is and nothing like the Communism of the USSR.

Gita does good stuff. Great guests and he asks good questions.

Wirjawan didn't go so far to claim that China historically has not been the kind of US-style hegemon, but sort of indicated it with the line that Indonesia has been good with multipolarity. But I see Mearsheimer cannot or will not accept that.

Thanks for your honesty Mr. Mearshiemer

Most countries in the world produce weapons and equipment to defend themselves and therefore have a greater say in what, the costs, the aims and expectations are for their defence. America on the other hand produces weapons and equipment almost entirely for the Profit of the Weapons Manufacturers. So as you can see the motivation are different. Russia and China are concerned a war maybe "put upon them" where the U.S has no such fear and is often going to war purely for profitable reasons. So who is the threat to World Peace?
