Meisheimer essentially admits that we don’t have democracy or representative government in the United States
Yes, Putin should create a democracy in USA and lead our government.
Saying the US isn't a democracy is like a spoiled rich kid saying they're broke when their parents don't buy them a mercedes. Americans vote on politicians who go on to serve in the government, and their votes matter. The US is a democracy.
@@cowyeti21 When the rich parents really become broke and thus cannot afford anything including a Mercedes, the kid is absolutely right saying so.
@cowyeti when the candidates are selected by the intelligence state, and serve the intelligence state agenda, when populist candidates are assasinated or character assasinated, when the military is deployed against the public, when propoganda is broadly disseminated, when the intelligence state holds editorial oversight over all news and social media outlets, when violent terrorist groups are funded and organized by the intelligence state, and when the intelligence state has incorporated organized crime into it's steucture, we have NO democracy. @cowyeti, ylu are either a liar or ignorant. Learn about the history of the USA and you WILL be shown the errors of your thinking.
@@xiuchengmu1849 But the parents aren't. The kid is just so used to living in abundance that the slightest restriction is indistinguishable from poverty. People crying about the US not being a democracy cause their favourite candidate didn't win should go live in communist cuba where there's only one party.
Probably the most realistic statement ever about politics: "It doesn't really matter what the public thinks".
Or more accurate statement is: THE ELITE DONT CARE what the public thinks. THEY WILL CONTINUE to do as they decide, regardless of the publics thoughts.
That's why they gotta go
Yep. Elections are not governing tool anymore. It is just merely an act of justification now.
1. Crimea had a national referendum in 2014 to return to Ukraine. 2. Exxon and Shell were making back door deals with the Naut zee Zelensky. Simple deal : access to the nat gas in exchange FOR TECHNOLOGY TO EXTRACT THE GAS FROM THE GROUND. 3. Sometime between 2009 and 2014 Ukraine starts murdering the Separatist rebels! Diana Magnay was the CNN correspondent who did the Donetsk, Ukraine genocide. Mom Jeans gave the money, mortar and shells to Ukraine for the genocide! 4. The day before Russian battle tanks rolled west, Potus Biden bans the Separatist regions from doing business with the U.S. 5. Patrick Lancaster is the journalist who covers the continuing genocide today! kzhead.info/sun/g9CSnbCogZRrkoE/bejne.html
Yep, that attitude is why Mearsheimer's wet for Putin.
The fact that the US media was able to swing the American public in favour of the wars in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Yugoslavia, and now in Ukraine is not because of any magic of the media but the public's indifference to the matters not affecting them. The American public wakes up only when the Americans start dying. The bloodletting of other people is ignored as an alien matter. The vietnam war is a case in point. In Ukraine since it is the Ukranians and the Russians who are dying, the American public is not much interested.
Yes we are. But the media and elites don't let us be heard. They fired the biggest and most influential spokesman for our anti-war cause...Tucker Carlson. Your opinion on American populous is outdated by decades.
Hence, the playbook is proxy wars to keep American safe, use of drones, robotics and AI. So it's Japan vs China, Taiwan vs China, India vs China etc etc.
@@Time4Peace ECOWAS vs. Niger, etc...
Human rights belong to those who have the public's attention, really.
John doen't realize the base of his argument won't change: he assume Russian won't change its goal if other things happens, Ukraine won't change its position if other things happens. "Those other things" is not something I can speculate.
Her face expressions during Mearsheirmer speech are priceless 😂
Yeah, she was not very good at hiding her bias, very unprofessional ...
Also her point about average Ukrainians not being on board with a peace deal. John was highlighting that the ultra nationalists will be the hardest to convince about a peace deal, not that nobody else in Ukraine will be resistant to a peace deal involving a loss of territory. She tried to talk down to him with that nonsense, but didn't have the intelligence to counter anything he said, so could only say something ridiculous.
Yeah, when Mearsheirmer swept her point aside she looked crestfallen. Facing someone who knows what they are talking about and does not comply witht the narrative and panic sets in. I do have to wonder if willful blindness is at work or is the cool aid that strong.
John was remiss in not mentioning the civil war in Ukraine that had been going on for eight years prior to Russia's special military operation.
Or just ignorance and stupidity?
"Elites just do what they please" - based old guy. Refreshing to hear someone admit America isn't a democracy, it's just common knowledge now.
John Kearne :: It should always have been "common knowledge". The Founders hated the idea of Democracy. It would have threatened their class-privileges. A Republic puts some distance between the property-owners and the more egalitarian "mob".
@@cliffgaither Yes, I have heard many thinking US citizens say that the US is a republic, rather than a democracy.
He been warning about this war since 2014 and he was right sadly.

663 billion dollar is the yearly interest on the debt of USA. I call it a failed country...
@morcosboci I think most Americans don't mind taking care the basic needs of other countries like Ukraine.
@@emilio2647 laughable... First they should take care of their basic needs...
usa economy is 23320 billion , its interest is .02% ....quick start a panic
it is failed because of communist (democrat ) policies.
You have no understanding of economics. This is the biggest problem with Republicans. They think it works like your bank account. In reality we have a debt based economy. If you took ever dollar printed you could not pay off the debt. You would still owe the interest the money that hasn't even been created yet. It can never be paid off, and in fact if debt stopped the whole system would also. Every dollar printed is borrowed into existence thus its a debt note.
Wait,… What do you mean pull out of Ukraine? I thought we weren’t in Ukraine?
WTF? You been sleeping?
If Nato were in Ukraine the War would have ended ages ago. If USA stopped supporting Ukraine the Ukrainians would fight on. The 'West' did not fall prey to anti Putin propoganda. Putin rewrote history to say that Ukraine is not a real State. He also invaded the Sovereign Nation of Ukraine. That's not propoganda. It's FACT.
@@dennisw8026 its sarcasm. corporate media still can’t admit that the United States has people over there protecting the bio labs and other secrets. Ukraine is a shit hole of Nazis, pedophiles, drug dealers, human traffickers and money launderers. And concerning the Biden family I’m sure they know where all the bodies are buried.
"right ?" -hahaha-
There are American Boots in The ground
Conclusion of today's discussion: whatever Trump could or could not do if he gets reelected, Ukraine's fate is doomed regardless sadly.
Oh, and let's not forget that Putin is really the 'victim' in all of this. ;-p
If ukraine refused to fight , it would have saved a lot more territory
Trump is a businessman. If he see that Ukraine is unprofitable and will crush the Biden's family in Ukraine, why not? It's just like hitting a two birds at the same time.
If that's the case, then the Trump should try to squeeze every penny possible from Ukraine before they're forced to surrender. Instead of donating supplies, sell them at top dollar and make bank for the American Military Industrial Complex. If they can't pay cash on the barrel, force them to take IMF and World Bank loans.
I am sick of endless war, keep doing the same thing over and over, insanity
Is nothing worth fighting for?
@@chrishooge3442 If you think the novo-Third Reich regime in Kiev is worth WWIII, you need to get help.
Mike, you are not alone.
@@alecfoster4413 Their President is a Jew. How do you square that?
Ok lets revolt, i am with you
"No, its clearly the propaganda" Her face .... LOLOLOLOL
Yeah. I caught that. Most certainly not on the agenda that she had written down in front of her.
It's also not true. John acts more like a politician that an academic a lot of the time, just stating his opinion as "obvious" fact. I live in Europe and I remember very clearly how shocked people where when the helicopter, missiles and tanks went across the border into Ukraine. It was a complete sea change for a lot of people.
@@massemiable If you are watchnig what is unfolding in the Western media and thinking that Mearsheimer "stating his opinion" about propaganda and not vocalizing the truth, that's on you. Even Russian cats banned from competing. Nobody currently employing two healthy brain cells weren't surprised with Russia declaring a war either. It was building up for months with US sending arms to Ukraine without public notice and Russia arming near Ukrainian border.
@@massemiable ridiculously so and mostly due to propaganda. Most people didn't even know what was the capital of Ukraine the week before. Non-Western countries have a right to military interventions too and NATO is still occupying Kosovo so most people are sheep
@@massemiable I kept an eye on the daily updates in the war in donbass from 2014-2022, I was simply surprised it took this long for Russia to get openly involved. But nobody ever listened to the anti-kiev Ukrainians over there, clearly the west didn't value their lives and don't to this day. I honestly think westerners don't realize how many Ukrainians are fighting on the Russian side in this war, and if they are they're simply calling them Russians without any regard to their Ukrainian nationality. I have very little respect for the west for this transgression.
It's not that Trump CAN say anything and get away with it, it's that he says anything he wants and is prepared to not just defend his words but jump back into the fight with both feet. Mr. Des Santis is going to have to decide who he wants to please, the big corporate donars or the voters.
Well if he gets the WH again, let's hope he doesn't hire Bolton, Pompeo, etc. etc. He was an idiot to surround himself with these people.
It is just a pity that what he says is a sack of cr@p.
The man so unwoke he asleep at the wheel
Both serve the corporate donors, you simply can't get into power without these powerful groups backing you, people need to stop pretending any government will actually improve your life, its up to the individual to make his or her life better
Trump keeps being asked how. He can't answer the question because he doesn't have the balls to say he would let Russia win.
Public was ignorant about Vietnam for years, and largely ignored the protests of the youth, the ones who would be sent to slaughter.
Burning the American flag and calling patriots fascist pigs didn’t help. Spitting on soldiers didn’t help. During gulf war 1 the peace demonstrators wanted USA to lose. Jesse Jackson was saying body bags will be filled etc. yup They sold the war due to low intellect anti-Americanism, same w/gulf war II. They didn’t make libertarian ot arguments against the war. However, the anti-American left lives government. They are not agitating for peace with China and Russia. They are not trying to disband cia and fbi. I know the good citizen was duped but the people opposed to what now appears to be influenced foreign policy were the enemy within and perhaps and I dunno that was by design to sell the wars
Why would anyone believe Boris Johnson on anything.
Because his name keeps COMING UP. Western press is a crock.
or trump
My thoughts as well Nige.
@@futures2247 Trump is a deep state toy. Got everyone fooled. He started covid game.
Read Laura Dodsworth’s book about Johnson. (Factual texts about the Covid nonsense) He’s a vile liar.
I am positively impressed by the Spectator airing Mearsheimer's views. For a British, conservative publication to present views at odds with the idea that Russia is the alpha and omega of evil is altogether unexpected.
Russia hasn't changed its stripes since the 2nd world war it committed genocide then its committing genocide now and it doesn't care how many of its or Ukrainian citizens it kills to achieve its political aims
I thought the "democratic" West allows differences of opinion and that one shouldn't be surprised that differences of opinions exists and allowed unlike the autocratic communists. You mean to tell me the so called democratic West restricted differences of opinions and that you are surprised that this happened?
Mearsheimer is from Univ of Chicago, strongly in the camp for support of Russia. He's a traitor to free people and any neighbors of Russia, either compromised by weak academic rigor or Soviet ideological warfare that took hold in Uof Chicago long ago. He very accurately let slep Senator Obama's role in disarming Ukraine for Russia back in the 1990s, but presented that as a good thing.
Lol that’s an over statement. As a casual observer I have seen plenty of empathy with the Russian people. No one is shutting down mearshiemer. In fact he has become far more known to the public than ever before. All this crying about ‘russophobia’ and propaganda is a way of distracting from the basic facts that Russia invaded Ukraine. One is clearly the aggressor and the other is the victim. Let’s keep it real
Plenty of sympathy... you mean like getting statements from Russian tennis players that they either denounce Putin or renounce Wimbledon? How many times has Mearsheimer appeared on the BBC? You should many be observe less causally because your observations seem to be missing quite a bit.
Mearsheimer may be right that WW1 is the closest war time comparable to this conflict's propaganda efforts. But he overlooks the pandemic, a much more recent world-wide event that is at least as relevant, if not more, when it comes to both propaganda methods and the arrogance of the political class. Let's pray that our liberties are not as equally trampled on by the inevitable escalation to come.
Well, it was more of a "rain postponing the game" sort of event. This was basically going to happen one way or another after the 2014 coup.
Spot on and always refreshing to see someone mentioning the covid era in thi context. The clueless majority of the public still doesn't realise how they were made fools by the massive propoganda during the so called pandemic. Most people still think all the extreme measures were nessecary and actually saved lives. How is common sense going to have a chance when people are so easily manipulated?
The Compromise: Let Russia keep what it reclaimed, which they used to own from the 1700's to the beginning of the USSR/1920, and now again: Crimea, and Kherson through Luhansk oblasts. And get on with peace.
The WWI analogy was spot on since Wilson ran on the non-interventionist platform yet within 18 months the US was in WWI. He had a crack team of propaganda experts fix all issues. BTW, propaganda did not have 'evil' undertones in those days, it was just a tool or methodology to get things done like advertising.
Господа, да в любую из войн мировых за последние 200 лет, все мечтали владеть землями нашими российскими! Со времен Антанты. Весь ваш Запад. Почему все забыли, кто был активным спонсором во вторую Мировую 1941-1945 годов? Американцы, Англичане, как минимум, спонсировали Гитлера. Это делалось, чтобы руками сумашедшего Адольфа нас уничтожить). Господи, да в какой год вступили в эту войну на нашей стороне наши "союзники"))). Они ждали и думали, кто победит и на сторону встать и с этого поиметь все дивиденты. Проиграли бы мы, Россия, нас бы на кусочки порвали дружно, вместе с Гитлером. Недаром, были переговоры с Даллесом генералов немецких о сохранении Германии на условиях Американцев. Когда проигрывать стали фашисты.. Но мы отчасти, отыграли ситуацию и не дали довести эту сделку. И подписали они капитуляцию. Но американцы оставили свое влияние в Западной Европе, в ключевых странах. И до сих пор американцы делают все, чтобы их влияние сохранялось. А мы сглупили, и не надо было выводить наши войска оттуда. Наши базы и наше вооружение. Это было великой глупостью. Мы отдали вашим западникам плацдарм для создания НАТО. И продвижения его к нашим границам. А остались бы мы там, никто бы не дернулся на Восток. Не развалился бы СССР. Мы сглупили, теперь будем все исправлять.
The military establishment has firm grips on the US. So do companies like BlackRock that also have made lucrative deals over this conflict.
Debt diplomacy.
BlackRock and Wagner Group have a lot in common.
Not the same. The u.s military spending was in a big decline until poopin went nuts.😮 Poopin stole 80% of russias wealth. Compare that!
@@edwardmoore-kd5uq no they do not. Wagnut is a real army , blackrock is small.
BlackRock is the equivalent to the Nazi Einsatzgrubben.
Mearsheimer is a cold clinical realist. He see it as it is, not as we would like it to be.
To be more precise, Mearsheimer is a _19th-century_ cold clinical realist. He seems to not realise that we now live in the 21st century.
The problem with Mearsheimer is that he his approach, much like Putin's fails to adequately bake reasonably predictable human reactions into the final cake. Part of Putin's problem may be that he doesn't understand western language and cultures well enough to predict the outcome. Mearsheimer I suspect is just lost in cold analytical academics with too sharp a focus. I really think that part of Putin's impetus for the final decision to invade may have been Mearsheimer's analysis of the situation on KZhead which they were referencing in the early days of the war.
@@blackwind743 I think Mearsheimer's whole system of beliefs can be distilled into 2 main points: 1. Thugs don't compromise on their demands. 2. Big thugs (e.g. Russia) are impossible to beat militarily. So, Mearsheimer seems to be wilfully blind to the evidence that negates #2, and when thugs _are_ beaten, #1 matters little. Hitler _also_ was uncompromising, but that did not prevent his military defeat.
@@gintasvilkelis2544 USA is the biggest thug of them all. China will probably be just as bad. Napoleon and Hitler both underestimated Russia. I think they regretted that. I don't think Russia can defeat Ukraine as long as we feed it. Of course, on their own, they would have lasted 1 week. But they won't loose it either. I think they will get pretty much what they wanted. Ukraine not joining NATO. Though that wouldn't have happened anyway. Such a poor and corrupt country. They don't qualify at all. And the Eastern parts will be "neutral". But I think there is a but. I don't think Putin and his men understood how hated they would be in the West. What a turningpoint this will be.
@@blackwind743 -You're absolutely clueless.
OMG I wish Boris would be a house husband, thus staying at home and helping his family without interfering in international affairs.
NATO was supposed to be dismantled when the Soviet Union fell. What happened to that promise? I think Russia is the only country that kept their agreement.
NATO was not supposed to be dismantled. Who told you?
@andrewachholz7922 Nato was formed to withstand the USSR. USSR fell in 1992 and it was supposed to have been dismantled but instead of limiting it, they proceeded further East instead. The West and Military Industrial Complex decided otherwise.

American credibility?? That's a contradiction in term.
Like American Intelligence.
True
American credibility is the strongest in the world. There is a reason every country is willing to put its trust in the US and consistently benefits from that and is also why so many countries do not need large militaries so they can afford social programs and is the entire reason the global economy exists and part of why the dollar is the global currency. Your ego and ignorance doesn’t change anything.
@@midgetydeath LOL living in a dreamworld lalala
Yet they can somehow 'sell' their debt. Folks are willing to buy up US debt because 'America isn't credible?'
was this the full conversation? if not, does anyone knows where to find the full one?

That is a good point by Katy at 18.00. The problem is that "the average Ukrainian" is less homogeneous than what is made out. Just as Mearsheimer points out the US foreign policy elite, there is something similar in Ukraine and not all have traditionally been anti-Russian and pro-Nationalist. Particularly poorer and older Ukrainians, or those with close family links to Russia. Of course Putin's invasion and the brutality of the war has changed a lot of that, but still the background is important.
Actually the older Ukrainians are less friendly to Russia. They grew up with stories of the famine and Stalin from their parents or grandparents. The younger generation doesn't have that connection to when their was major conflict. Your issue is with the Russian transplants from the Stalin era and the native Ukrainians.
@@Turamwdd Stalin was not Russian. We know the difference between Russians and communists. Ukrainian communists were horrible to us as much as any other communist.
@@Turamwdd There was no stories of famine. At least not in the way you present it. The entire narrative of being a victim of an engineered famine spread in Ukraine only after the fall of the Soviet Union. There was no significant talk about it during the union for various reasons. As for the demographics in Ukraine in general it has nothing to do with age. Eastern Ukrainians in general are more pro-Russian. The more west you go geographically in Ukraine the more anti-Russian the population is. The most radically anti-Russian Ukrainians are traditionally from the most western parts of the country, completely opposite of where the war actually broke out. In the east there is millions of actual ethnic Russians(around 15% of total Ukrainian population) and pro-Russian, russian speaking Ukrainians. These majority of these people want nothing to do with Ukraine since the 2014 coup and the Ukrainian laws banning Russian language and culture that happened afterwards.
@@ceroid3752 Hello comrade botnik, The Holomodor actually happened. The red army under the orders of mass butcher stalin would search Ukrainian homes for food and confiscate it and punish the occupants if anything was found. All agricultural production was confiscated as well
Putin had ever rite to go in to protect the Russian speaking ppl in eastern Ukraine, if Mexico was doing that in south to USA residents u don't think the USA would do the same? Its a existential threat to Russia for Ukraine to join Nato..russia is on the right side of history USA Ukraine will never be.
This one isn't about Republicans or Democrats, but someone like Trump or possibly RFK, who is less beholden to the traditional power brokers.
It's not about Trump. The military call the shots and there is nothing the public can do except to destroy the corrupted structure of both government and deep state.
EXACTLY!!

That's why they got him out in 2020 lol he was changing too much. The millisecond Biden was installed everything returned to "normal" not a coincidence.
No, obviously. That is why he will not become president unless Russia is defeated. They would kill him before any threat to NATO (or American supremacy). The USA is neither a democracy nor a republic, but an oligarchy of globalists, with irrelevant elections creating illusions to placate the deluded public. Their mouldy "free world" facade is falling apart.
He would be killed by the CIA just like JFK who said he would get all Americans out of Vietnam.

Joanna, you/we may not be interested in war - but war is interested in you.
"We, the people in America, hate it," but we don't protest to our congressmen and senators!
Money well spent to defeat Ruzzian Fascism. Hitler had to be stopped, and now Putin must be stopped
You are one person. You are not We the People. Russia invaded Ukraine. Until Russia leaves, there will be no peace. The only politician who started the war is Putin. Blame Putin.
We are not in Ukraine, we don't need to pull anything other than stop supplying weapons and a blank check to the most corrupt country in Europe to prolong the war and the suffering. If we threatened to pull the plug on the endless billions to Ukraine and offered to end the sanctions to Russia they could work out a peace deal pretty fast and save hundreds of thousands of Ukranian lives and be at peace with both Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is going to lose regardless the only question is when and how much will be left of it. They have no chance of beating Russia even with Nato weapons. There is however a chance of continuing to escalate this until we are in WW3 with nuclear war a real possibility.
Actually there are more than 90 million British Americans more than German and Irish Americans put together. They are usually called WASPs and are usually put together with German Americans and Called White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

Freddie Gray rather succinctly made no attempt to get into a shouting match with Mearsheimer on account that it wouldn't have ended well for him and he definitely knew it.
When Mearsheimer pushed back on Trump's leverage over Russia one of those times. Trump is Putin's useful idiot. But Mearsheimer has the whole NATO expansionism thing wrong. Putin's invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with expansionism. It is Russian imperialism pure and simple.

Context is important. Now officially declared a hoax, but at the time Trump was fighting back against a false accusations that he was a Russian asset. Consider what he would have/could have done if he hadn't been subjected to that.
You don't have to be on the Kremlin payroll to be a Russian asset you just need to be taken in by Russian propaganda which the far Right in the US spread constantly. Trump was as stupid as they come he also has ADHD a man born into untold wealth which he pissed away constantly being a multiple bankrupt
Every idiotic moron believed, with every ounce of energy they could muster, that Trump was about to fold and run away from his responsibilities. Imagine if half of Biden's horrors had occurred during the former administration?
Yeah these false accusations which were brought up even at their meeting in Helsinki 2018 (their first meeting i think) really affected their relationship. If not face to face, then it sure did affect the American public by planting just another seed of mistrust into their heads. Which of course does affect politics decision
Why do you think it was false? Who "officially declared" it a hoax? It always struck me as manifestly true and was proved true at Helsinki. (a) Trump told the world that he'd asked Putin if he (Putin) had interfered in the 2016 election, that Putin had said "no" (surprise surprise) and that Trump couldn't think of any reason why Putin would lie about a thing like that. If true then Trump was arguably the only person on the entire planet who couldn't think why Putin would lie. (b) Trump and Putin held a private meeting. It consisted of only three people: Trump, Putin, and Putin's interpreter - Trump refused to allow the American interpreter in. There can only be one reason for this. Is your real name Sergei, and do you operate out of Moscow?
The Russia hoax underlies the fact that the establishment always wanted a war against Russia, and that Trump didnt want any part of it. Hillary Clinton pretty much promised a war with Russia during the campaign debates, and you'd better take her seriously when she promises death and destruction. Now they've got Ukraine doing their dirty work.
War killed people so need stop war
There is always a deal to be made, whether it's palatable to everyone or not.
We already know what the deal is: Russia will annex everything east of the Dniper and the southern coast through Odessa; Poland will partition western Ukraine (it's historically Poland's anyway); and Ukraine will become a rump-state propped up by the WEF puppet states.
The point is, regardless of who is in the White House... Democrat or Republican, the US will continue to support and fight to the last Ukrainian as long as the MIC is so inclined and why wouldn't the MIC? Think of the amount of money to be made guys! 😅
If I make guns and you don't have the money to buy one, why would I give you one for free? MIC only makes sense if Ukraine were paying for our weapons, not when we're giving them away for free. Our economy is weak, we can't just give away free weapons. The payoff for us is taking over Russia and her resources.
What does the Ukrainian victory look like and how is it going to be achieved?
"Victory " for "Ukraine"(the nazis) will mean the(further) destruction of Europe. NATO is a criminal organization that needs to be abolished (and the general secretary, present and past tried for their crimes against humanity-Iraq,Afghanistan,Ukraine etc). Those who care for peace and human lives,do not ask for more weapons. Peace will come only if the american oligarchy is confronted/toppled by the American people who can stop provoking Russia,withdraw the nato expansion plans,and stop pretending that workers in usa have differences from the Russian workers.
@@georgesos Are you done?
Please stop. There is no path to Ukrainian victory. How can you not this this, at this late date?
Ukrainian victory would be liberating international recognised territories including Crimea. It could be achieved by military victory or Russia could be collapsed from inside.

The Russophobia is more of a media phenomenon at least in the UK. I think working people are not that stupid and are very distrustful of our politicians/media propaganda after Covid
Tru. Most people aren't that stupid, whatever their class. And understand that Putin and Putinism is a menace. And if funding Ukraine to beat it is probably a good thing, rather than sending in the British Army.
True, but media/Government/the establishment pushing Russophobia is as bad as the Nazi's de-humanising the Jews in the 1930's. A dangerous game to play. A lot of comments you see are a complete demonstration of its effectiveness. Pure poison.
Um ... Christopher. Yes. UK working people ARE that stupid. But that is of no consequence. The greatest impediment to UK working people is they are irrelevant. And what makes them stupid is their belief that they are relevant.
Well informed and intelligent know Ukraine is not vital to USA, and largely discredit MSM(state control) as we know it. We are losing in economy and political aspects that don't serve interest of ordinary people any more, only billionaire ruling class.
The Russophobia thing is a kremlin talking point, they invented the term. Chelsea was owned by Abromvich, London is full of Russians, it's fantasy nonsense.
that old man is so based
Excellent interview - thank you
The look on Kate's face was priceless when Mearsheimer explained to her about the west's propaganda machine and the influence of Ukraine's ultra right wing nationalists. She looked genuinely shocked......what you mean we do propaganda too???
Amazing guests, disastrous host!
She's not stupid, she knows plenty about propeganda as she actively takes Part in it. Her face was because mearshimer is deviating from the approved narrative and that is no longer allowed in Western "democracies". Just ask anyone who opposed covid narratives, anti abortion etc. Those opinions are not welcome in mainstream political opinions anymore
Mearsheimer engages intellectuals, scholars and pragmatists every single day who have a keen interest in being intellectually, scholastically and pragmatically informed of the circumstances of this conflict, which is frankly not what Freddy Gray and Kate grapple with. So it's very simple for Mearsheimer to shock these two newshounds with what amounts to a simple common sense argument. Many of the Spectator readers live in an idealised world of believing their democratic, liberal world can be shaped by a surfeit of their opinions within their narrow group and it's Freddy and Kate's job to perpetuate that notion. Otherwise (to be honest), how does the Spectator think it's going to sell newspapers? Politics and governance (whether it's within a democratic or despotic community) is made up of those who play a temporary and those who perform a permanent function in the State/Societal Contract. And Mearsheimer's simple thesis is we need to first look at that structure before we start pontificating from an ideological standpoint. Trump comes to the geopolitical party with a single, four year term behind him and the prospect of no more than another 8 years before he will be forced off the stage. Putin comes to the party with 23 years of hard political mileage and a tenure which may keep him in office until Trump is forced to retire his own presidency. The instrument of US governance, for whom Trump is completely reliant, are permanent civil servants who clearly do not agree with Trump and who will certainly take more than Trump's available two terms to win over. Putin has his civil servants in line with his view and they are perfectly aware of the limitations of ANY US president. Hence this discussion makes me picture John Mearsheimer as a man shooting fish in a barrel. His points are well and fairly made, but the fish (Spectator staff) don't really stand a chance. Good on the Spectator bringing an adult into the conversation - it is a breath of fresh air and I hope it gets traction. I, sadly, have little faith that it will. Good try tho
hahaha watched it too several times back and forth 😂
the host had the same painful expression when JM talked about propaganda and about the average Ukrainian view on Z.'s possible peace deal, - all remember only too well that Z. was elected on the issue of making peace with Donbass and the disillusion that followed
NATO must be abolished
Sure, Ivan, sure......
either that, or Russia should have bases in the Americas
Seems to be working just fine. What are you going on about?
Coming soon. Medvedev on the possibility of a Russian pre-emotive nuclear strike: "Europe has lost its mind. The US is generally acting in its pragmatic interests. They are not fighting themselves, they are making money. They are trying to wipe out a centuries-old enemy. As for Europe, for me it is an amazing story. They constantly heat up and inflame the situation with their decisions. In this situation they will provide aircrafts to the Kiev regime. Moreover, maybe they will also give them nuclear weapons. But then it will mean that a missile with a nuclear charge will come to them. There are irreversible laws of war. If it comes to nuclear weapons, a pre-emptive strike will be necessary. The Anglo-Saxons don't fully realise this and think it won't come to that. It will, under certain conditions.
“Don't Think That Your Geographical Location Will Save You: Lavrov Shocked the US with His Statement This statement was made on Friday and has already caused outrage in Washington. The representatives of the American establishment sitting in the White House were speechless by Lavrov's statement in the most direct sense of the word. So, answering journalists' questions, the Russian Foreign Minister bluntly stated that the United States would not be able to stand aside in the event of the outbreak of a global conflict, which Washington is so diligently provoking. Its geographical position will not save the United States. On the contrary, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, which saved the United States during the Second and First World Wars, this time will not be the saviors of the United States but the executors of punishment.”

18:06...Um, no: Zelensky has had to conscript fighters among "average Ukrainians" because most of them, sensibly, would prefer peace to getting themselves killed in a war that was over before it even started...
I'm not convinced Russia will win, but I think you're basically right regardless. What does the average person in Kiev or Lviv care if the Donbas is governed by corrupt politicians in Moscow or corrupt politicians in Kiev, especially when most of the people from the Donbas if forced to choose would probably choose Moscow anyway.
@@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558 Are you still not convinced?
@@alispeed5095 I haven't taken in much about how things have been going the last couple months (since I wrote my last comment) or since whenever the Ukrainian offensives began. From what very little I've taken in I've gotten the impression that Ukraine has made very negligible territorial gains with its offensives and that Russia has maybe made equivalent gains from more minor offensives (at least relative to the offensive on Bakhmut, for example.) As far as losses, I don't feel like there are any reliable sources for that information, but it definitely seems possible that Ukraine has taken heavy losses for negligible gains. Anything you would add to a two or three sentence summary? But based on what I've gathered, neither side seems to be able (at least not yet) to launch a dominant offensive. Until that happens and so long as the West continues to fund the war and so long as Zelensky and whatever hawks are pulling his strings remain in control of the Ukrainian government it seems there's plenty of potential for this war to just grind on long-term. I can imagine some of those things shifting to where Russia could start to dominate offensively. I don't really see any very plausible changes happening that would enable Ukraine to secure decisive battlefield victories apart from other armies joining in the fight, but even that would seem more likely to lead to WWIII and nuclear exchanges than successful Ukrainian offensives.
The difference between trump and other candidates is trump is rich enough. He doesn't depend on anyone's support, so his brand is his to do anything with, and that freedom gives him an edge. There's also the question of charisma and i think trump has a much stronger and confrontational character. Other politicians depend on the unspoken rules of civil discourse to keep things under control, trump doesn't care about any of that and so he can and will use any words he has to to discredit his competitors.
You re-elect Trump, and it will be the last real election the US will have.

Ukraine is not in NATO. US is spending over 170 billion, Europe,20 billion, with Europe still buying Russian energy.
Made up numbers. EU and USA has spent roughly equal on Ukraine. And EU buys a lot more US fuel now than before and much less Russia
And Nordstream 2 is pumping gas to Germany.
Mearsheimer is incorrect in my opinion. We can still get out as long as there aren’t boots on the ground “officially”
Very bad idea for the moderator to be so partisan esp as she’s wrong!
The funny thing about this interview is that both of Mearsheimer's interlocutors are such lightweights in comparison with him they look like rabbits caught in the headlights of a car praying they don't get hit. It's obvious that he is not toeing the establishment line that Russia is bad Ukraine is good and as a Conservative realist is giving a realist's analysis of the war that is a long long way from the fantasy they are trying to peddle.
No he isn't. He's a tankie and he's full of crap. This is the most righteous war America has been involved with since WW2.
Mearsheimer is a useful idiot for Putin. Eager to criticise the West at every opportunity but not the imperialist Russian regime
I don't disagree he's got gravitas, but such fawning
I have followed Prof Mearsheimer for a long time, watching many of his lectures since 2014. His Neo-Realism approach to international politics suffers from a few blind spots one of which is that he only considers the policies and actions of so called 'great powers'. There is some debate as to whether Russia is a great power, with an economy smaller than Italy's and a collapsing demographic, that is questionable. He also fails again and again to give agency to smaller powers, what do they want? The USA have failed to do this over and over again in the past, just as the European colonial powers failed to in the late 19th and early 20 centuries. Western 'propaganda'...if that's what it is, tells us that Ukraine just wants to be a free, liberal democracy and join the EU and NATO...but does it? What are they really fighting for? Is it a nasty form of nationalism that motivates them or a genuine desire to be free and not be another Belarus with a puppet government?
Mearsheimer is absolute scum who just thinks Russia should be able to do whatever they want. And so-called "realism" is actually the least realistic of all the schools of thought in international relations. The fact that they were able to get away with naming themselves "realists" was one of the greatest propaganda coups in history.

You might want to re-consider long time affects, not only short time. Of course US M.I.C. does have yet another reason to exist, you may sell some LNG to Europe, maybe even pull some companies over to the states.

Africa, South America and Asia, all 3 getting more confident and are willig to no more follow instructions from the West. China getting more influence in the mid-east and if they solve Iran-Saudi conflict just as well as bringing back Syria into the arab league, then that influence will grow just faster. The dependency on USD or rather say the importance of the USD will most likely shrink, with effects on your economy that might hurt.

3:34 Strange sequence of appositions: 1 - De Santis questioned loses Republican support for saying the ukr. war not in the public interest; 2 - Trump ‘can get away with it’ for his reply about instantly ending it to a presumably hostile - Democrat aligned - interviewer. btw Trump achieved several things almost instantaneously - the Jerusalem American Embassy - the Abraham accords - the boosting of EU contributions to common defence - the Mexican border shut-down (or near shut down) - making China and the EU balance trade privileges. Outside the world-room-filling megaphone of western press outlooks - he was held in esteem by political leaders around that world which is not the West (or some 85%) - in the Middle East he spoke their language and they were relieved not to have to deal with the slippery Obama any more. Also he instantly stopped Obama’s $80 billion p.a. funding of Isis - the knock on effects of which confidence boost to Islamic ideology had a brunt borne by youngsters and vulnerables especially in the north of Britain from rape, despoiling, and ideological servitude. Read Andrew North - (Times correspondent.) Any relief here is directly due to Trump who loves Britain (where Biden appears to loathe it).

There is only 1 way to end this war --- get all ruzzian orks out of Ukraine. I can reassure you 99 percent of ruzzians don't mind to nuke you
But what would that win win be? On Ukraine's end, would they have to give up 20% of the land that Russia currently occupies after losing Crimea a decade earlier? All the land that Russia annexed was a decent chunk of Ukraine's GDP. On Russia's end, if they pull out and don't keep that 20% they would lose credibility around the world, waste billions, and lose the friendly DPR/LPR regions, a coup might happen in Russia.

Om det ble fred ville det latt millioner av kvinner, barn, gamle å syke slippe å leve i frykt. De okkuperte områdene i øst har jo befolkningen som har vært utsatt for folkemord av Zelenskji regjeringen siden 2014. Nå viser det seg at samtidig som Zelenskji regjering sender fattige syke også psykisk syke ut for å kjempe for fedrelandet. Samtidig om rike vellykkede mennesker i samme land kan betale seg ut av krigen. Så det korrupte landet lar de fattige å syke bli ofret på den store løgnen om at Russland er agresatoren å Ukrainere er demokratiets siste utpost. I USA hvor folk risiker å miste alt di har om di blir alvorlig syke. Hvor folk som er psykisk syke lever på gata i en pappeske. Folk spesielt fargede bli fratatt friheten for resten av livet, for ikke voldelige lovbrudd. USA sin høyest rett sitter voksene utdannede mennesker å sender barn å ungdom til fengsel livet ut. USA som har vært landet som verden så opp til klarer ikke å behandle barn rettferdig. For nettopp det at man er barn å gjør en alvorlig handling skal jo statusen som barn gjøre at personen pga dette blir sett på som mindre forbrytersk fordi barn forstår ikke konsekvenser av det di gjør, å heller ikke kan sette seg inn andre sin lidelse. Det som er underlig er jo også hvis et barn har mistet så mye selvkontroll at det gjør grusome ting , da kan USA sitt rettsvesen ta fra barnet sitt ekstra rettsvern pga alvorligheten av handlingen. Så om et barn gjør noe graverende alvorlig mister di vernet som barn, å får ingen vanlig behandling. Så ting som barn gjor fordi dem ikke ser konsekvenser bli gjort til gjennomtenkt. Å når ondskapen gjerningen demoniseres så mye så mister samfunet evnen til å vise forståelse. Jesus sa at alle barn var like velkommen i himmelen. Altså et barn trenger ingen tilgivelse ingen frelesbønd for å komme til himmelen. For alle barn tilhører Herren. Så istede for å bruke penger på at flere folk skal sendes i krig, prøv å rett opp alle deres sosiale å mellommenneskelige problemer. Bruk pengene på helsehjelp å utdannelse. Slutt å berøv barn rett til et likeverdig liv, fordi di feilet som barn. Så ja kansje Trump fikser dette på et blunk. Hadde aldri trodd at jeg ville ønske Trump noe mere tid rampelyset. Men etter at krigshisseren Biden med sine svekkede mentale evner er livsfarlig for verdensfreden . Å når flertallet av gamle sovjetiske stater har blitt Nato medlem, blir det bare dumt i si at Russland er agresatoren. USA å Nato har nok sett for seg at dem skulle kjøre på med propaganda av Ukraina som demokratiet forkjempere. Sannheten er jo at Ukrainas ledere beriker seg på en hvær mulighet. Bruker elite soldater dvs fascister leiesoldater å menn som liker vold å spenning, resten er syke fattige mennesker som Zelenskji lett ofrer. Åpn opp øya å se sannheten.
@davidchang5265 It is tough. I am wondering whether there might be a deal possible with these components: (a) Crimea recognized as Russian; (b) Russia withdraws from all other Ukrainian territory; (c) Ukraine joins NATO; (d) occupied Donbas becomes a UN protectorate for 10 years, after which its status is determined by referendum; (e) all sanctions are lifted; (f) no reparations; (g) no war crimes tribunals. I think Putin, Biden, and Zelensky would all hate this deal with about equal fervor, which suggests to me that it could actually be a good deal.
"This is a truly outstanding case of extreme propaganda ...."
Once Putin Can't be Pulled out so easily
Very Underrated comment! Cute and on point.
Lyrically, trim it down to “Once Putin, hard to pull out”. Just a suggestion.
I supposed Kate Andrews is a media personality, or at the very least, a followers of current affairs for the Spectator. That she would boil US popular opinion of the Ukraine War down to Putin rolling tanks into Ukraine, is truly shocking. Either she's ideologically sealed on the "Russia-bad" narrative, OR, she is genuinely ignorant on the perspective Prof Mearsheimer articulated. Which, for a war that's been running for 18mths (and 9yrs if you count back to Maidan in 2014), is extremely troubling.
She is willfully ignorant . I think of the quote from Upton Sinclair ' A man's salary is dependent on him not understanding something '. I misquoted him but that is the gist of it. I am also sure she sees Russia (and China) as not being democratic ( unlike her native country LOL ) thus anything goes to fight against them.
Deliberate misunderstanding. She is just another hack working for the elite class.
Propaganda is a collective sport.… it is religion, but happening now. People are fully emerged in their chosen mythologies, they really believe that they do believe what they believe, but it is applied selectively. The outrage over Russian tanks entering Ukraine is truly felt, it is real... yet, the children starving under Saudi blockade in Yemen, the bombs we sell them killing school busses full of children, for year and years and years... isn't even on the radar

14:55 It literally doesn't matter what Ukraine wants in the slightest. Joseph Borrel said the other day if America cuts off aid on Wednesday then Ukraine sues for peace on Thursday.
Borrel made a stupid argument. It will matter as a bad treaty won't end the hostilities. It will end the war but won't stop the aftermath of a perceived bad deal. Remember that a peace deal was reached in 2014 between Russia and Ukraine. 8 years later, war happened again. Is anybody really stupid enough to believe that a deal that occurred under those conditions would lead to "peace in our times?"
For the United States as late stage Rome, the war in Ukraine serves as a diversionary spectacle of both circus and gladiatorial combat.

LOL
We could only hope....
Prof. John Mearsheimer calls a spade a spade regardless of its color or shape.
Even I could stop the bloody war in Ukraine in 24 hrs if I was president of the USA. Just make an immediate stop to all military and monetary aid and recall all Americans helping them. Then for good measure tell the US allies to do the same. Most of them want to anyway. Then tell Zelensky to stand down as president and the rest to start immediate peace talks with Russia.
👍 AGREE
Indeed.
Any fool can stop a war by surrendering. The Ukrainians won't surrender whatever Trump does and Zelensky wouldn't be president if he started immediate peace talks while the Russians still occupied parts of the country. You don't tell allies, you ask and consult them. Most of them if not all do not want to stop sending military aid on the contrary they would send more if they had it.
Nice idea, but those ultra right nationalists won't allow that.
That's like saying we should allow all pedophiles to rape little children without resisting their efforts to ensure that at least the pedophiles don't kill them all.
Propaganda? Russia invaded Ukraine. This is fact, not propaganda. It had absolutely nothing to do with NATO. This is also a fact. The reason Putin didn’t want Ukraine to join NATO is because he knew years ago that he wanted to invade Ukraine and Ukraine joining NATO would prevent that.
The latter is not a fact, but your speculation. You're not a telepath, you're not Putin's shrink, so you don't know what's going on in his head. It is a fact.

He let it slip in this discussion how Senator Obama was already disarming Ukraine of its conventional weapons in 2005, then denied arms sales to Ukraine when he was in the WH. Guess who helped get Obama into the Senate? Guy came out if nowhere, zero political history, bam...Senator. Council for a Livable World. Soviet front group started by Szilard in 1962 after Soviets warned him US counterintelligence was zeroing-in on him. He switched from providing nuclear technical data to ideological warfare under an anti-nuke front non-profit, which uses funds to run pro-Soviet/Russian moles for office. Guess who got Biden into the Senate in 1972? Council for a Livable World.
Yep.. 👍
Which is why Ukraine needs to enter NATO IMMEDIATELY after the war ends - whether they get in having reclaimed all of its lost territory or if they get in with whatever they are able to keep and/or reclaim, it doesn't matter. As long as Ukraine enters NATO with at least something left.
@@bearpaw72 Absolutely 👍
trump would have never engaged it
“ The Russians, no longer trust us and they shouldn’t trust us.” 😂😂” The square doesn’t fit in the circle no deal to be had.” I think both sides Will make a deal after a few tactical nukes are used around the world by all sides.😢😢
Trump said nato a paper tiger
Trump was killing Russians in Syria. Newsweek April 12, 2018 U.S. Military Killed 'A Couple Hundred' Russians In Syria Airstrikes, Pompeo Says As Trump Considers New Attack U.S. officials have so far remained silent about the number of casualties inflicted by a coalition assault on pro-Syrian government fighters that the Pentagon claimed opened fire on Syrian Democratic Forces in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor. Both a U.S.-led coalition and the Russia-backed forces supportive of Assad are battling the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in the region, but recent tensions have produced fears of a conflict erupting between Washington and Moscow. "In Syria, now, a handful of weeks ago, the Russians met their match. A couple hundred Russians were killed," Pompeo said during his confirmation hearing in Washington. Since then, the U.S. and Russia have engaged in a new escalation over conflicting claims about a chemical weapons attack in the formerly insurgent-held Damascus suburb of Douma. While Mattis said Wednesday he was "still assessing" responsibility over the suspected toxic gas attack, the U.S. has vowed to take military action, and allies France, Saudi Arabia and the U.K. have announced their potential support. Russia has denied these claims, and Moscow's ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, said Wednesday that Russia was threatening to down both U.S. missiles and their launch sites, echoing a previous warning by a top Russian general. Trump, meanwhile, taunted his Russian rivals on social media, promising that missiles would hit Syria, but on Thursday he tweeted that he "never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!" Pompeo was named as Trump's choice to replace former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who reportedly found out in February he was out of the job from the president's tweet. The shake-up was followed by another high-profile switch, when Trump announced he wanted former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton to replace national security adviser H.R. McMaster. Bolton and Pompeo, two hawkish, hard-line conservatives, have discussed taking a tougher stance against Russia, which the U.S. has accused of interfering in the foreign affairs of other countries. A year after the U.S. and its allies intervened against ISIS in 2014, Moscow began its own war against the jihadis and rebels threatening Assad's rule since a 2011 uprising backed by the West, Turkey and Gulf Arab states.
The Americans are at existential war with Russia and China. From 2018, the planning of WWIII. “A bipartisan commission appointed by Congress issued a lengthy report Tuesday backing the Pentagon’s plans to prepare for a “great-power” war against Russia, China, or both, making clear that the Trump administration’s belligerent policies are shared by the Democratic Party. Safe in the knowledge that its findings will never be seriously reported by the mass media, the authors of this report do not mince words about what such a war will mean. A war between the United States and China, which according to the report might break out within four years, will be “horrendous” and “devastating.” The military will “face greater losses than at any time in decades.” Such a war could lead to “rapid nuclear escalation,” and American civilians will be attacked and likely killed. It is impossible to understand anything in American politics without recognizing one fundamental reality: the events and scandals that dominate political discourse, which make it onto the evening news and into headlines on news sites and social media feeds, have precious little to do with the considerations of those who actually make decisions. The media talking heads play their assigned roles, knowing that the most important topics can be discussed only within very circumscribed limits. Those who actually make policy-a select group of high-ranking members of Congress, Pentagon officials, and think-tank staffers, as well as White House aides-speak an entirely different language among themselves, and in publications they know the general public will not read, and the media will not seriously report.
john: “the elites just do what they please …” so true. as noam chomsky said a loooong time ago: “america is not a democracy” really great interview. john: “what trump says when he’s election campaigning and what actually happens when he’s in office are two different things”
That idiot said “russophobia”. What a pathetic attempt to salvage his credibility. There is no such thing as russophobia as it implies an irrational fear. A state and a society that endorses savagery domestically and against their neighbors does not represent an irrational fear. Dr M is a disgraced idiot.
Trump is the man,that actually came through with most his promises.But you just watch CNN.They wouldn't give Trump any credit when it was due.(along with the rest of the MSM!
Meirscheimer is so based 😂
Many Americans have forgotten the Coup they organised in Ukraine 2013/14. They just start to learn about Ukraine with Russia’s Special Military Operation.😢
Tens of thousands of people coming together against the govt because the govt failed to execute people's mandate is not coup. Ukrainians threw out a leader bribed by putin to discard EU membership.
That is a lie. Most Ukrainians do not like Yanukovich since the Russos poisoned Yuschenko
