This is the second interview we did with Professor John Mearsheimer on wars and great power politics. Watch the first one here: • John Mearsheimer: Is C...
In this second interview with American political scientist and international relations scholar John Mearsheimer, we discussed the current status of the war in Ukraine and prospects for resolution, moral issues around Israeli military campaigns in Gaza, deterrence and risks of conflict in the South China Sea, and whether ideology is declining in importance when it comes to international relations.

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.

When Witjawan says Indonesia dealt with multipolarity in a good way, he seems to completely ignore the CIA coup that installed Suharto and wiped out millions of his citizens for supporting neutrality. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him deal with this issue on the show, which makes the constant passive agreement anti-Sino remarks locate his loyalty in Washington rather than Southeast Asia. Good interview though. He got Mearsheimer to clearly illustrate the most key points on all of the issues.

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?

As noted in Haaretz, Netanyahu seems to boast of his knowledge of the US by saying, "I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way." 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." America, apparently, is moved by the Israel lobby. Evidence to the contrary has yet to emerge.

Winning the peace depends on which side defines the "peace". For true peace to arise, "peace" defined as the satisfaction of justice, both sides would have to be satisfied that their real or perceived claims over injustice have been satisfied. For this to happen in this conflict there is still a very long road ahead.

@huberthumphry280 25 күн бұрын

even though I would agree with the "pragmatic" description and not so much "ardent supporter", you got who they are balancing seriously wrong. It isn't with the PRC which literally had its last war in 1979 as Mershimer notes, with Vietnam, plus the Paracels dispute, plus the Spratlys. Vietnam gets no military aid from China, it gets it from Russia, that is who they are balancing. It is clear that ardent supporter is an exaggeration since Vietnam has expressed neutrality in Russia's conflict in Ukraine but also refused to condemn the invasion at the UN. But Vietnam has been getting US arms deliveries, most importantly warships

it's not gita's style to push or challenge his guest, he always lets his guest offers their views without being confronted. for example, 42:00 gita is correct that zionism was not meant to commit genocide, but john wrongly stated that they know from the start they're going to cleanse the palestinian because they couldnt have established a jewish state among palestinians. well, zionism started in late 19th century was to find homeland for the jews, not to establish a jewish state, therefore it's possible to live side by side as long as they're not praticing apartheid as in the original zionism. first generation of aliyah among zionists in 19th century was relatively peaceful, things gotten worse only since balfour declaration and jewish businessmen (rothschild etc) who bought many lands etc. but then, gita didn't try to debate john either though i think he knows john was wrong here.
