In the last few years, Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago has become an alternative media celebrity for advocating contrarian views over Russian’s invasion of Ukraine and Israeli genocide in Palestine.
Professor Mearsheimer is a world-renowned political scientist and IR scholar. He has written many impactful books – The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, The Israel Lobby, and The Great Delusion – Liberal Dreams and International Realities.
He is famous for opposing NATO expansion and the US policy towards Russia. He accurately predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a 2015 lecture with a deep analysis of the root causes and likely implications of the 2014 Crimea crisis.
Together with Harvard professor Stephen Walt, he wrote about the corrosive influence of the Israel lobby on US politics and foreign policy in 2007. His analysis helps to explain the US complicity in the recent Israeli genocidal rampages across the Middle East.
He also predicted and analysed the coming great power competition between the US and China in his book The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.
Professor Mearsheimer advocates a rational and realism-based foreign policy for the US. He argues against NATO expansion into Russia’s near abroad; he advocates integrating Russia into the western security architecture. On the Middle East, he advocates reining in Israel and distinguishing US national interests from Israel’s. He is against going to war with Iran.
Regarding east Asia, Mearsheimer proposes the US to prioritize countering China. He believes China poses the main national security threat to the US as it possesses the capability to challenge US dominance in western Pacific.
In his view, the US must prevent China from becoming a regional hegemon like the US in the Americas. He suggests the US should be ready to go to war with China over Taiwan or the South China Sea.
Although his views are hardly radical, they do stray from the approved narrative. Therefore, he is ignored by policy makers and deplatformed by the corporate mainstream media.
Professor Mearsheimer is considered one of the more rational and courageous voices in the US on international politics, comparable with Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Ambassador Chaz Freeman.
However, I contend that despite his achievements and fame, Professor John Mearsheimer is fundamentally still an establishment scholar, and his brand of realism is what C Wright Mills, the famed American sociologist in the 1950 and 60s, called Crackpot Realism, a militaristic ideology based on US supremacy. His fundamental beliefs about US hegemony, though more restrained, is aligned with hard-core neocons.
Moreover, I contend Professor Mearsheimer is a naïve and poorly informed geo-strategist, not in the same league as Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinki. His wishful thinking about peeling off Russia from China and leveraging US vassals to contain China demonstrates a poor understanding about the dynamics of major powers, respective strengths of the main players, and basic human psychology.
My arguments have three parts:
1. Professor Mearsheimer has a fundamentally flawed worldview how international relationship should be organized and how states interact with each other; conflict and aggression is the natural state of affairs in this worldview
2. His analysis of major power dynamics among the US, Russia and China is wishful thinking and has little basis in reality
3. His beliefs in fundamental US economic and military superiority, and hence its ability to dictate global events and contain China, are outdated (by about 2 decades) and detached from reality.
Regarding his analysis about US Israel relationship, I contend they are also superficial and fail to probe into the true depth of Israeli/Zionist Jewish control over US politics, foreign policy, economics, finance, media, academia, and religion.
His attribution of Israeli influence on US is so narrowly focused on the power of the Israeli lobby that one must wonder whether Professor Mearsheimer actually serves as controlled opposition to ringfence the debate over Jewish power in the US.
His conclusion that the lobby is the primary and ultimate reason for US complicity with Israel seems designed to distract and derail a real discussion about the role of Jews, Zionism, and Israel in American economic and political life. This is a topic I’ll explore in a future essay.
Today I’ll focus on his crackpot realism regarding US China Russia relationship.
Flawed worldview and IR theory
Professor Mearsheimer believes the international system is anarchic and pursuit of national security/survival makes every state an aggressive power maximizer. States do not cooperate, except for temporary alliances, but constantly seek to weaken their competitors’ power and enhance their own.
He argues the US must be the only hegemon in this hierarchical international system and must prevent other country from challenging its hegemon. Thus the US must pursue containment of China to prevent it from becoming such a contender in Asia.
His advocacy of rapprochement with Russia is based on his view that Russia is too weak to seriously threaten US global dominance hence the US should get Russia under its wings in the fight with China.
His argument implicitly endorses the most expansive definition of US national security interests, exactly as the neocons who pursue “full-spectrum dominance”.
His idea of Realism has nothing to do with achieving peace and co-existence among states, but rather how to achieve and maintain hegemony in a more realistic fashion. He is different from the hard-core neocons in that he is more rational about the limits of current US power.
Tellingly, in his vision of the global order, the US is fully entitled to exercise open hegemony in the western hemisphere through the Monroe Doctrine, while the same must be denied for China in east Asia, even if China has never espoused such a hegemonic aspiration.
For someone who often quotes his own mother, in his many interviews/lectures, as saying, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”, Professor Mearsheimer seems blind to his own double standard.
What would he feel if China adopts his worldview? What if China starts to conduct “freedom of navigation” patrols in the Gulf of Mexico, or put military bases and intermediate range missiles in Cuba and Venezuela, or advocate rolling back the “Monroe Doctrine”? Would Professor Mearsheimer still say “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”?
Native understanding of major power dynamics
Professor Mearsheimer’s brilliant idea for the US to make up with Russia and peel it off from China is as delusional as Trump himself. I wrote an essay on that subject – A new American (wet) dream. https://huabinoliver.substack.com/p/a-new-american-wet-dream-ununite
Just to highlight a few common-sense points and refresh the good professor’s memory about history (he seems to suffer the same deficit in historical knowledge as so many of his fellow countrymen) –
– The Ukraine war is a US-provoked proxy war against Russia – even Rubio has just openly admitted. Russia is winning on the battlefield. The US is reaching out to save itself from another defeat. The US is not doing a favor to Russia. Russia is not so stupid as to not understand this basic fact.
– Russia will not trust the US. Russia won’t forget the US-led NATO expansion is a violation of its own promise to the Soviet Union and root cause for the current war. Russia will remember how the US has repeatedly failed to honor the treaties it signed with Russia – the INF treaty, ABM treaty, the Open Sky treaty, and more. Russia won’t forget how the US took advantage of the country with shock therapy and looting of its resources after the fall of USSR. Russia probably will not forget the US blew up Nord Stream, stole its money, and sanctioned its athletes and cats.
– I don’t speak for Russia, but I assume Russia has no interest to be a junior partner to the US. There is no doubt the US has no plan to treat Russia as an equal even if there is a détente. If the US doesn’t do that with a much stronger China, what are the chances Russia will be treated with respect?
– Russia has much stronger economic, trade, technological and military ties with China than the US. Russia China trade in 2024 was $240 billion and its trade with the US was less than $3 billion. Russian and China share the same strategic view about a multipolar world order.
– The much trumped-up “reverse Nixon” strategy was dreamed up by people totally ignorant about history. Nixon and Kissinger pursued rapprochement with China in 1972, at a time China and Russia already fell out and were engaged in border conflict. Today China and Russia are partners and both want to change the US-dominated global order. They are winning too. Only the stupid and delusional would think a “reverse Nixon” has any chance of success.
Professor Mearsheimer’s grasp of major power dynamics is befitting a grade school student, not a full professor, even if only at the University of Chicago. Or maybe he is perfect for Chicago. Read my article – How the University of Chicago ruined the US? https://huabinoliver.substack.com/p/has-the-university-of-chicago-ruined
Blind belief in US power
Professor Mearsheimer, as a reputed realist, doesn’t seem to have much of a realistic view about relative US power vis-à-vis China. Like other neocons, he seems to suffer the same delusion that if the US is not distracted by Europe or the Middle East, and as long as it can focus all its powers, it can contain and roll back China.
This blind belief conveniently ignores all the contrary empirical evidence how the US has failed to contain China with its trade war, tech war, and narrative war to date. It fits the clinical definition of insanity – the belief that a different outcome will result from repeating the same failed actions.
Professor Mearsheimer seems totally unaware that China has three times total industrial capacity than the US, has achieved technological parity and lead in most critical future technologies including AI and military tech, and is much better prepared for a kinetic war in the western Pacific near Chinese shores.
His knowledge about economics, technology, and military capabilities seems outdated by at least two decades. He may be a realist theorist but doesn’t have much grasp of the cold realities of comparative national strengths between the US and China.
Professor Mearsheimer suffers the same intellectual deficiency as the neocon hawks in the US establishment. They understand very little about China, its ambitions and its capabilities. They mistakenly think of China as another USSR, and they will pay dearly for that mistake.
Professor Mearsheimer’s brand of realism is what sociologist C Wright Mills termed “Crackpot realism” in his 1958 book The Causes of World War Three. According to Mills, a crackpot realist is an ideologue who believes might is right and thinks the world should be subject to Pax Americana.
Mills described crackpot realists as “serious people” who believe in the righteousness of their own cause, a maximalist definition of national interests, and a proclivity to the use of bombs to solve problems. He wrote: “…such men as these are crackpot realists: in the name of realism, they have constructed a paranoid reality all their own.”
While Professor Mearsheimer is more subtle than the deranged neocons, his view of international relations is similarly zero-sum game, and his brand of realism is similarly militaristic and amoral. Most notably, as Mills called out, such realism is fundamentally delusional and divorced from reality.
A real “Realist” should be able to understand the US will never be at peace if it doesn’t give up its ambition to dominate the world. A hegemon is not only intolerant of peer competitors. It is intolerant of any independent and sovereign states with agency.
A Realist should understand the US is in no position to win a major power war with China or Russia, through its proxies or directly. Its vassals have no agency and thus no strength and even they will eventually refuse to be cannon fodders.
Henry Kissinger understood this. Zbigniew Brzezinski understood this. This is why Kissinger and Nixon pursued détente with China. Brzezinski famously advised not to drive China, Russia and Iran together out of a common grievance towards US aggression. Both were far wiser true realists compared with Mearsheimer.
You don’t have to be a fan of either but Kissinger and Brzezinki both realized the limits of US power and advocated a balanced approach to pursue US national interests.
Brzezinki defined the strategy of preserving US dominance as: “prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and keep the adversaries from coming together” (quote from The Grand Chessboard).
As a true realist, Brzezinki advocated a strategy to create new structures of world politics through dialogue and rapprochement with China and Russia. He may not be fully sincere when he wrote that “the ultimate objective of American policy should be benign and visionary: to shape a truly cooperative global community, in keeping with long-range trends and with the fundamental interests of humankind”. But at least, the rhetoric is laudable. While he was coming from an America First perspective, he was realistic that the world will be multipolar regardless of US wishes.
Similarly, Henry Kissinger pursued détente with China and Russia when he was advising Richard Nixon. In his writings in the last 40 years such as On China, he repeatedly cautioned the US not to underestimate the potential of China. He advocated a balanced approach to preserve US advantages without challenging China’s core interests like Taiwan.
In the final analysis, no doubt Professor Mearsheimer is intellectually superior and more honest than neocon players like Marco Rubio, John Bolten, Victoria Nuland, or Joe Biden. However, he holds the same world view as the neocons. He supports US unipolarity and believes in its supremacy. Worse yet, he seems to think it is achievable. This makes him a very poor “realist”.
After all, John Mearsheimer is just another University of Chicago product.

I’m no fan of Mearsheimer. So when will we hear honest appraisals on the state of China economically and politically from snide China? Are there no Chinese scholars writing about the deficiencies of China’s government model and sociology?
We only seem to get hacks, such as yourself, telling us how great China is.
Speaking of Ukraine, here is an bit of interesting analysis.
Mearsheimer no like you call him bogus.
He say to you: qu-ni-de.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Wj1l30-8mBQ
Enabled entirely by Western dislocation of our manufacturing base in the 90s, China’s slave-labor cheap costs, and China’s rampant theft of our technology particularly in the last 30 years. I worked for a high-tech engineering firm in LA whose astute CEO, despite his ‘globalist’ credentials, absolutely refused to do business with China so appalled was he by the industrial espionage.
Let us also not forget the long-time revulsion towards “Made in China” on a label, raising one’s suspicions as to the level of quality and safety of manufacture.
The economic power of China was made by the West.
The West has undone itself by being saddled with incompetent minorities and high costs, while China does not have this problem. It is in fact homogenous, and a disciplined country as well, although deeply totalitarian socially. (Social credit scores, constant government drone surveillance of citizens, etc)
No, he does not. He is immensely admired for speaking out against NATO expansion and being quite blunt about The Lobby, even more so today than when his article/book first came out (his co-author Monsieur Walt seemingly having disappeared). His views on China are of less interest because intelligent Americans don’t really “buy” that we are mortal enemies with China. That country is allowed to buy up huge swathes of American land, some useless Commerce secretary on occasion wrist-slaps Beijing with weak sanctions, our AI goons insist upon a merger of our industrial bases and essentially economy is dependent upon theirs.
Ye Gods, I almost stopped reading here.
The core of the neocons and minions’ construct, is a racist rules-based order, that it is assumed, its crafters and adherents have the God-given right to rule the earth as the chosen of the earth. China, as a formidable 4000 years civilization competitor the hegemon is failing to fathom, happens to fall outside the beliefs of deserving to have a seat at the table by reason of not being of the exceptional race, as defined by Western neocon beliefs. The foundation of the American system which Prof. Mearsheimer is a product of, is political Zionism which every US president has no choice but to accommodate or even follow sheepishly, or else the US itself cannot function.. It is not just about one US president who is married to the agenda.. It is the ages-old secret society agenda the US is trapped under, which is now failing dismally but the adherents don’t know better that the times have changed.. It is the same agenda that is stuck in the belief that China, Russia and many others can be bombed into submission and trampled upon if the hegemon is to continue existing for as long as it takes..
Such a being does not exist and never has.
People who are specifically and insistent on looking for negative information are those who have already made up their minds. Engaging with people like you is a worthless endeavor.
This formerly brilliant and kind being, with his incredible political philosophy, literature and innovative brilliance, was once the admiration of the world. Go re-read Henry Ford’s “My Life and Work” and refreshen yourself. Some of us are still around. (Including the publisher of this site).
Johnny went on judge Nap in November of 2023 and declared the Israel was not commiting a genocide in Gaza. He was roundly refuted by the alternative media audience before he recanted. So we know what his first inclinations are.
I am a fan of Mearsheimer, but like each of us, he has his weaknesses.
Here is what I assert is the most important passage in this Hua Bin piece:
The Deep Culture reason that all English speaking Protestant based societies are philo-Semitic is Judaizing heresy, Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, becoming the religious/cultural movement that is the most important basis of Modern English culture. All things pro-Jewish are in the very marrow bone of Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture. To get rid of that Judaizing cultural power within all things WASP would be to kill WASP culture.
You went WASP culture? Then you automatically get all things philo-Semitic. You fed up with all this? Then you must embrace a non-WASP culture and actively oppose things WASP, especially any of those things that snack of any imperialism.
And White is not a culture.
Your ‘interesting’ analysis piece must be placed within a political and social journalistic context. Dorothy Li is employed by the Epoch Times. Epoch Times is part of the New Tang Dynasty operation, tied to the Falun Gong ‘religious’ (some say) cult, accused by the Communist Party of political subversion on the mainland.
Now, a direct association does not in itself disqualify any resulting analysis. But one should know of it, going in. In this case, Li relies on DPP linked Taiwan sources. Much of her article is wild speculation and innuendo, along with the typical “China is ready to implode economically and politically, we just cant tell you when it will happen. But it could be any day, now.”
BTW, the Epoch Times link you gave requires signing up with an email, in order to read. Below is a link to her article that does not require an account:
https://www.ntd.com/what-ccp-fears-if-us-can-negotiate-an-end-to-russia-ukraine-war-analysts_1051533.html
Though the point is propaganda for China, as usual, I gotta say that I don’t disagree with much in this article of Mr. Hua’s.
America, even just for such reasons alone as its being beyond broke, should bring the military home, that is, to the southern border. The Cold War has been over for 35 years, and containment of (external) Communism is a thing of the past.
I don’t think America needs to “peel off” Russia. Without pressure from the Globalists/NeoCons, there is no reason our countries, both still nominally and mostly still Christian nations, couldn’t have been allies since 1991.
As for the other side of the Pacific, yes, for the same reasons (we are not the actual sole superpower that gave the NeoCons such giddiness as we were 30 years back, AND we are beyond broke) we should leave the S. China Sea and Taiwan alone. There were reasons to support Chiang and the Nationalists who’d retreated there in the past – containment of Communism and loyalty. However, seriously, the deal has been one-sides, as obviously Taiwan can’t protect and could never have protected the whole United States in some war.
We run big trade deficits with these countries, Taiwan and S. Korea, so it’s time to let them bear the cost of defending themselves. Regarding the latter, we’ve had 25,000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen there for 72 years! (No, not the same guys.) Half of that force could protect the whole US border with Mexico. Bring home the DMZ!
Why america Failed by Morris Berman
Yes, thick and thin, indeed. It was during the 1950s-60s when relations between the USSR and Red China were so bad that the Chinese relocated masses of weapons production and other manufacturing into caves in the mountains. They expected trouble, put it that way.
I don’t think Mr. Hua here understands what that Kissenger-instigated Nixon-goes-to-China thing was about. It wasn’t about some great love for China but a move to triangulate between the 2 large Communist powers. China was no direct threat to America back then, and America fully supported Taiwan.
Finally, Americans, at least those who don’t sit in front of CNN/Fox all day, don’t want an actual war with China. It’s been an economic war that we’ve been losing for 30 years. Economic power IS power. Trump, MAGA, and Americans in general are right to support tariffs and a trade situation that encourages manufacturing in America again. Yeah, it might take a couple of decades to reverse the damage, and as with a reversal of Welfare State debt-based Socialism, it can’t happen without a lot of financial pain in there. (This is a
bug, nay, FEATURE, of Socialism.)These were a foreign born Jew and a Pole, respectively, who hijacked the might of the nation that foolishly granted them asylum, in order to advocate senseless aggression against their old race-enemy, which policy in no way benefited the people of the United States.
Otherwise the points are well taken. We have no compelling reason to sabotage China and no ally in the treacherous Zionists.
Actually, intelligent Americans and crackpot realists are not mutually incompatible.
Intelligence is intelligence. Crackpot realism, i.e. “a high-flying moral rhetoric is joined with an opportunist crawling among a great scatter of unfocused fears and demands” is inevitable in America.
It reflects America’s historical theocratic tradition as well as its cultural immaturity, rather than individual intelligence. Until the US has experienced failures like China, crackpot realism of various favors would be part and parcel of American politics and policies. It can’t be exorcised. Fortunately, various favors of crackpot realism would balanced each other in policy deliberation.
In comparison with crackpot realism, crackpot unrealism is more worrisome. Crackpot unrealism such as Christian Zionism reflects many America people’s deep frustration toward their government, society, as well as churches.
You don’t think that is just a bit silly, considering what Americans have accomplished? That list would take up many pages. What part of the modern World was not created by Americans? Not much.
Truth comes in layers. Mersheimer seems to be at the level of understanding the Jewish lobby but nothing bigger than that. Can the Gaza/Ukraine wars be understood as priming the world for atomic warfare that will destroy whole cities (with hyperbaric bombs not a-bombs per se) so that lockdowns, martial law, food rationing, can take place while pension funds and social security funds can be plundered and CBDG installed?
Great piece. International anarchy is US state orthodoxy, the political science axiom, nobody passes Poli Sci 101 without yammering about it. The slogan used to pound it in was, “ballots at home, bullets abroad.”
US realism is inherently crackpot. CIA dreamed up the false dichotomy of realism/idealism while the actual world has a more elaborate spectrum of opinion. The grown-up countries group around three longstanding schemas: Machiavelli, Grotius, and Kant, respectively the cynics, legalists and revolutionaries.
Russia and China are stodgy legalists trying to adapt to a criminal US regime. They will use minimal requisite force to uphold the law. That will probably be nukes. Nuke the beltway and CIA’s fusion centers first, and we’ll strew flowers and sweets for the PLA. The CIA regime has got to go.
How interesting that the first twelve paragraphs of Hua Bin’s article are so well-written and reasonable. while the rest of the article is written very poorly with Hua Bin’s usual hyperbole.
What could account for this?
After the first twelve paragraphs, which are completely free — as far as I can tell — from any errors, we get the following [my corrections are inserted in brackets]:
“1. Professor Mearsheimer has a fundamentally flawed worldview [about] how international relationship[s] should be organized … conflict and aggression [are] the natural state of affairs in this worldview.”
“Regarding his analysis about [the] US Israel relationship …”
“His attribution of the Israeli influence on [the] US …”
“Today I’ll focus on his crackpot realism concerning [the] US China Russia relationship.”
“He argues [that] the US must be the only hegemon … and must prevent other countr[ies] from challenging this [status].”
These most basic of errors continue for the rest of the article (I’m not even bothering to address his stylistic sloppiness), which he finishes off by misspelling John Bolton’s name!
What is surprising is not the sloppiness and inability to use English properly that are so characteristic of Hua Bin’s missives, but rather the fact that the first sixth of the article was written so elegantly and without a single error that I could spot. Not even one!
And I don’t know why Hua Bin takes such a nasty swipe at the University of Chicago, which is routinely ranked among the top fifteen universities in the world.
Hua Bin’s message here is clear: I not rike what Plofessol Mealsheimel say because he not aglee China gleatest countly in wolrd.
With my limited knowledge, I cannot assess every claim of this article, but I think its importance is unquestionable, since it highlights some aspects of Mearsheimer’s views which got de-emphasized recently. In fact, the article has a striking similarity with a recent comment of mine, except that it was not about Mearsheimer but about Lothrop Stoddard, a racist ideologue of the past.
And, if Hua Bin delved deeper into recent Republican thought, he would have realized that much of it (especially the trumpist faction) aligns with Mearsheimer to a considerable degree.
“You want WASP culture? Then you automatically get all things phil0-Semitic.”
Judaizing is not limited to WASPs. In Nostra Aetate, the Roman Catholic Church says that Christians are grafted into the Jewish vine rather than the other way around. You can’t get more Judaized than that.
Furthermore, Roman Catholic rulers made Jews members of their courts, privileging them over the common Christian folk and using them to squeeze tax money out of their subjects.
The many Jewish expulsions that took place in Europe during Roman Catholic rule mostly occurred in order to calm the angry subjects down. Later, the Jews would be let back in to start the whole process over again.
Mainstream Protestantism is no more Judaized than the Roman Catholic Church. Evangelical Zionists don’t represent the whole of Protestantism.
“And white is not a culture.”
Yeah, right. Aristotle, Plato, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Balzac, Shakespeare, Bach, Mozart — no culture there, for sure [/sarc.]
You sound like a typical Jew.
Power on a small scale or global scale seems to rest on three things. Hard work, Ownership of your hard work, and the strength to keep your work from being taken. China is close to all three, and the rules based order knows this. The only thing they’re lacking is complete ownership of their work. If they still need a US dollar to trade outside of trading with American they don’t have complete ownership , yet they’re closer every day. If the foreign banker can dictate by the control of freshly printed money who you trade with ,does one really own there labor? America success after WW11 was they had all three.
That book changed my life reading it as a young man, as you can see by my name
I don’t think Meamjojo is looking only for negative statements about China. I don’t think he’s looking only for positive statements about the US and the West. Rather, he’s calling for a balanced presentation that reflects reality. We aren’t getting that from the crude propagandist and hack Hua Bin.
I almost never agree with Meamjojo, but he’s right in this case.
I am a fan of Mearsheimer. But I agree with Hua Bin on this. Mearsheimer is probably the best geopolitical strategist of our time. But one must keep in mind that, at the end of the day, he is a chess player.
How dense are you? Do you think all those men you name were part of 1 culture? There are 6 different defining cultures among those men.
White is not a culture.
all just lie?
Mearsheimer is probably easier to understand if one recognizes he has lived all but ten years of his life in a highly Jewish milieu. Maybe he is partly Jewish, I don’t know. The ten were as an officer in the US Army during the Vietnam war era, some of the deepest and darkest depths of the Cold War.
It would be interesting if Hua could discuss the factors which made it credible for the West to divert so much human energy into China after 1972. China has been growing a long time, but the pace of growth accelerated after the West decided to engage, despite the Communist Party control. During this resurrection of China, many people around the world recognized this involvement was against some of the core interests of the West. It happened anyway because it made certain Westerners more powerful and more wealthy. Laws and rules were changed to make this possible.
One interesting aspect is that after the fall of the Soviet Union, the West did not try to support Russia and the CIS with more economically sensible policies to act as a damper on the exponential growth of Chinese technological capabilities.
I noticed the change in style as well. AI generated? Some kind of joke? test?
Professor Mearsheimer has done great work on Ukraine and Israel. But he thinks the USA must focus on confronting China’s rise saying historically it has no choice. I disagree, let China prosper as we slip to #2. The end of his short video shows Mearsheimer speaking in Australia where he explains to the locals that they must side with the USA to confront China, lest the United States topple their government.
Video Link
Realism as principle or realism as instrument.
That is the question.
I agree with all of this, but the most important words are these:
Mearsheimer clearly underestimates not only the present strength of China, but its future strength: its economic growth continues, and with four times as many people as the USA it is destined to become a greater economic power than the USA plus all other countries combined.
The Achilles Heel of China is Taiwan. It is difficult for Westerners to understand the Chinese attitude to Taiwan: it is Chinese territory under independent administration, and anyone with a sense of history will realize that reunification is inevitable – but perhaps not in our lifetimes.
China should avoid confrontation over Taiwan – especially if there are American provocations – not only because a war would be catastrophic, but because with every passing decade China becomes stronger, and America becomes a little weaker. Therefore it is in China’s interests to delay any conflict as long as possible. In fact it is in everybody’s interests, because as the decades pass we are likely to find a way to live together without being enemies.
Just turn off Javascript.
China is where it is today because it was the lowest cost, backward but educated country that the USA could use for boosting profits here and lowering prices. So we outsourced our manufacturing to China, helping them bootstrap themselves economically. This also gave them access to much of our technology, which they stole, of course.
Truth of the matter is that out labor is just too expensive to support manufacturing here. People will not pay the prices. Nor will they accept the lower quality that is part and parcel with American manufacturing.
The ONLY way for manufacturing to return to the USA in any size is for robots to do the work. But this doesn’t pump $$$ into workers pockets, so what is the point?
I have seen no evidence of this. Russia and China cannot be separated. Most people who make the case of this possibility are shallow thinkers who consider very few elements in the dynamic and symbiotic relationship between the two powers.
I’ve gone into this in multi facets previously here on TUR. At the most basic level, survival, Russia provides an impenetrable wall of defense and protection on its entire Eastern border from the West and the dangerous Turkish psycho Erdogan.
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and eventually India form an alliance of defense, non-invention, and mutual economic advantage. Unspoken is their vaccine status against World Jewish economic arsenic.
1. American contribution does not necessarily related to intelligence of Americans. For example, American consumption had triggered the British Industrial Revolution. China would not have its manufacturing based and peaceful rise without American and European consumption.
2. In term of human capital, Allan Bloom had written a 1967 book with the title of “The Closing of the American Mind. Bloom wrote, “If in 1930 American universities had simply disappeared, the general store of learning of general significance would not have been seriously damaged, …”
In other words, America’s intellectual contributions are largely the results of European immigration and its Post WW2 wealth.
As for American intellectual output more recently, it had been reported that several states had cut university research budgets in order to build more prisons. Not necessarily un-intelligent. Nevertheless short-sighted.
Crackpot Realism was meant as a derisive comment by C. Wright Mills on the mentality of the “power elite” in the US when it came to foreign policy, e.g., the idea that American hegemony was sought by thoughtless out-of-touch rich people who in effect see violence for the use of hegemony in world politics like a board game instead of a real-life tragedy for the people it affected, e.g., simpleminded rich people were in control of US politics behind the nuclear button because they inherited a ton of money, they were dangerous due to their simplemindedness and callous disregard for the results of their actions. A modern example (Mills wrote some 75 years ago) is the mentality behind the US support of Ukraine to fight Russia: instead of making peace to prevent the war–due to caring more about hurting Putin than the pain that would come to the common people of Ukraine and the possibility of nuclear war–they worked to prevent a peace agreement before and after the war started. That is what Mills would call “crackpot realism,” it was realist in the sense that they believed it was, they believed Russia was seeking regional hegemony and the NATO elite wanted to thwart that to promote their own regional hegemony, and it was “crackpot” because it was stupid, it disregarded how their agenda would obviously turn out, i.e., not only would it not work it would also lead to massive pain and suffering to the common people and could possibly lead to nuclear war.
That is a different category of “realism” from what Mearsheimer promotes. Mills use of crackpot “realism” wasn’t meant as an actual category of realist doctrine, it was a pejorative to describe what he viewed as the mentality of the WASP elites in America whose social standing within their elitist social circles created a mentality of “let them eat cake.” Mearsheimer’s “Offensive Realism” is an actual doctrine describing power politics, not just a derisive comment on the mentality of the rich and foolish elites. So the two cannot be compared since they are not about the same thing.
I love that book. I re-read it every so often to recall what we are “really” about.
I understand him quite well; in fact completely. His background is Irish/German. He is hyper-critical of Israel. You shouldn’t write such speculative and specious, ejaculation speculations without some background or sourcing.
You comments overall and historically, have been rather middling boilerplate and restatement of the obvious. I advise you to spend more time apprehending knowledge, facts, and evidence.
To simplify, Heinz Kissinger in a way was actually very knowledgeable and quite intellectual (although, of course, he was an evil man), but as a Jew he knew how to flatter and kiss butt of whoever held power to climb the ladder to gain the top post whereas Zbig was basically just a dumb Polack thinking in a stereotypical manner without actual subtlety (although again, of course, he was an evil man). Zbig’s innate stupidity was actually a running joke in the Carter administration-many Carter administration people were not impressed although they could not say it publicly-something that Nixon’s people would not say of Kissinger. It’s fascinating how both men basically performed to the stereotype of their respective nations (not that there are not a lot of smart and subtle thinking Poles).
Wow… fantastic article! I too am VERY suspicious. Just today I went to theduran.com…
1) first I watched Glenn Diesen with Alex Kraimer… where Kraimer explains that it’s all about how the western bankers need assets/collateral to maintain (expand!) their money systems… how trade alone is not enough… the West needs to “take” the Russian and Middle East assets by force (i.e. steal the assets for cheap… e.g. the US now controls Ukraine’s farmland for a few measly $100bn)…
https://theduran.com/the-imaginary-british-crown-controlling-the-u-s-imaginary-communism-in-the-eu-the-nazification-or-americanization-of-the-eu-and-much-more/
2) then I watched John Mearsheimer with Alexander Mercouris and Glenn Diesen… where they completely (i.e. TOTALLY, LIKE ALWAYS) fail to discuss the “economic” (i.e. the money-printing) motivations that drive the West to wage/provoke war against it’s rivals…
https://theduran.com/the-us-push-for-peace-europe-panics-john-mearsheimer-alexander-mercouris-glenn-diesen/
How/Why do people like Mearsheimer and Mercouris totally ignore the “economics” behind this global push toward WWIII??? Why did Diesen not mention Kraimer’s economic motivations??? To me they are clearly complicit in hiding the true puppet masters behind the curtains… i.e. the BANKERS… the MONEY PRINTERS… they-who-must-not-be-named… the EVIL MONSTERS who are ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE for this entire freak-show.
Already, TODAY, a police action to remove a traitor compradore regime in Taiwan would result in a catastrophic defeat for the USA, if it butted in to protect its lesbian cat-lady, half-Jap, stooges. The definitive End of Empire. I bet the Zionazis are dead set against the idea.
No problem-the failed state that is Austfailia is run by the Yankee Reich’s greatest arse-licking psycho-phants anywhere. Our ruling elites are crazy with China hatred, although a war on China would destroy this country, one way or another. Race hatred and poisonous envy do strange things to little, cane-toad, minds.
What do Aristotle and Bach have to do with you? Where’d you find those names?
Many professionals, particularly those in academia and the media, are practicing “restraint.” Noam Chomsky started the service. They are called the “paid opposition.” The practice serves the Jews, and it pays very well. The aim is to keep the bewildered herd (only) moving in a certain direction without any disturbance. The University of Chicago is like Harvard, a Jewish turf. Anyone who shows the slightest disloyalty to Jewish terror will commit career suicide.
A problem with the term ‘realism’ is it can be invoked to mean just about anything.
The pro-imperialist camp comes in two flavors.
Those who pretend to spread ‘liberal values’ and ‘democracy’. They pose as idealists at odds with realism.
But there are realists in the imperial camp as well. They argue that the US is an empire and has to be as it’s the lone superpower, the only country that can hold the international order together.
So, stop pretending that the US is not an empire but admit it is so and bear the burden of empire because it’s the only realistic option in a world that would fall apart without American Power.
Generally, universal internationalism is associated with liberal idealism while petty nationalism is associated with realism, but in fact, the former is actually driven by Jewish tribal-supremacism that merely uses idealism as ruse in its hegemonic ambitions.
US isn’t trying to spread democratic values to Iran. Indeed, it’s perfectly fine with monarchy in Saudi Arabia and the Jihadis in Syria. The main reason for possible War with Iran is to serve Jewish tribal-supremacist ambitions.
Precisely… basic logic… 1) “experts” like Mearsheimer say the West cannot confront/defeat the East with conventional warfare… 2) yet the West aggressively provokes/attacks the East… 3) the West has been openly threatening since shortly after 9/11 that they will use atomic weapons in conventional warfare… and 3) Obama’s signature accomplishment in 2016 was to arrange for an additional $1T over ten years to modernize the US’ nuclear arsenal.
Was Covid the purposeful methodic transition into a new age of biological warfare??? Is the new East-West confrontation a purposeful, methodical, theatric staging for a new age of “atomic warfare”???
For me… yes and yes… there is no doubt in my mind… thank you Wayne Lusvardi for saying what has to be said.
It is not speculation to point out some of Mearsheimer’s history which seems to lead to an overlap with the Neocon outlook in interesting ways as pointed out by the article. I am not saying he is a Neocon. I am not really a fan of Mearsheimer, but he adds something to the one-sided Western dialog. I learned from the past exchanges between Mearsheimer and Stephen Cohen. They were worthy intellectual sparring partners and I respect them both.
Based on our past dialogs (PM – QCIC) I gather that you often do not understand the point I am trying to make, though you sometimes try to trivialize it. I prefer to keep my comments brief so maybe this misunderstanding goes with the territory. We had more than one exchange where you picked an argument but your words actually agreed with my position and apparently didn’t recognize you were writing the same or similar idea in a different form.
There have been so many crypto-Jewish intellectuals and their non-Jewish fellow travelers dishonestly manipulating the world that I may be a bit suspicious. This is much healthier than the state of benign curiosity which I had long ago. I still retain some of that, but in a tempered adult form.
I pay very little attention to Israel. I assume the leaders want to kill anyone who is a nuisance to them and sincerely believe they have a divine right to do so. On the other hand, I have no love for religions such as Islam which I see as especially violent and stupid. These two foes are made for each other.
I learned Chinese for a couple of years and then I lived and traveled in China for over four months in 2012. So I was very suprised when I watched Meirsheimer talking to a group of students in Australia saying that China is the greatest threat to the United States. I couldn’t believe it. The US financial system is the greatest threat fhe US faces, not China.
Hua Bin’s analysis is very good. I would add that what we perceive as facts is just that: a perception from a single point of view. So it is necessary to get lost in other countries to come to an understanding of their culture. I am not sure that University Professors always do that.
WASP elites in the USA were philo-Semitic in the early colonial period which is why they commonly had given names like Hezekiah, Moses, and Solomon. But after more immigrants after the early colonial period moved to America that started to change. Many carried with them an anti-Semitic mentality typical of Europeans of that time. Freemasonry was brought over then and became very popular among the upper-classes as it was in Europe. They typically were not philo-Semitic even though they incorporated Judaic concepts into their doctrines. They promoted a non-Biblical worldview although often would include Jesus or Biblical concepts within a non-standard formulation. If you want to see that worldview I recommend Morals and Dogma by General Albert Pike, widely available online, since he was very well-educated on their doctrine.
After anti-Mason propaganda campaigns promoted by Christian leaders gained wide popularity at the end of the 18th century onward, the WASP upper-middle and upper-class elites who were the main membership of Freemason lodges, developed an insular mentality. They opposed allowing non-WASPs into their social and business lives. And while many were not specifically anti-Semitic, they were not open to allowing outsiders like Jews into their social set, maybe because of trust issues due to so much anti-Mason hysteria. They excluded all minorities from their social lives, schools, and clubs, except for some Catholics and Eastern Orthodox since continental Freemasonry was comprised of a lot of nominal Catholics and Orthodox, and the European nobility regardless of religion were seen as high class and desirable for inter-marriage. They excluded Jews from leadership roles in their businesses, not totally, but in general even if they did do business with them.
The protestants in America were philo-Semitic to a degree based on Biblical reasoning until later in the 19th century when they started to become anti-Semitic. Why? There were a lot of popular books promoting the idea of a Jewish led conspiracy to control America and the world. Combined with the wide renown of the Jewish banking elites in a business and political climate that was seen as thoroughly corrupt and exploitative, their philo-Semitism did not carry over for most to their views of the modern Jewish people. Anti-Semitism became much more the norm among the WASP hoi-polloi and many elites. That continued until after WWII when it started to change. The massive cultural shift in the 1960s made the idea of anti-Semitism anathema for WASP and other elites, but it continued among the non-elite WASPs to a good degree till evangelical leaders began to change that by promoting Israel and positive relations with Jews, in a concerted effort along with the Republican party during the creation of the “Christian Coaltion,” which was promoted by people like Paul Weyrich, Ralph Reed, Jerry Falwell, etc., from the late 1970s onward.
“Trump knows by now that the western narrative of Biden’s war is a load of bullshit peppered with falsehoods and outright lies, and that the war erupted only out of the diabolic western plot to poke the bear, which got provoked finally and hit out.
The CIA’s coup in Kiev in February 2014 was a watershed event paving the way for a NATO presence on Ukrainian soil. Indeed, terrible things happened, which have been shoved under the carpet — for instance, then German foreign minister (current president) Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s dubious links with the neo-Nazi Ukrainian groups who acted as storm troopers in the 2014 coup. Just think of the grotesqueness of it — a German social democrat patronising neo-Nazi groups!
Most certainly, Trump knows that the US deep state had set in motion an agenda to destabilise the Russian Federation and dismember it as the unfinished business no sooner than the Soviet Union was dissolved. The Chechen War has no other explanation. In fact, Putin has accused US agents of directly aiding the insurgents.
Again, Bill Clinton administration floated the idea of NATO expansion as early as in 1994. It came out of the blue but was obviously a work in progress since the day after the disbandment of the Soviet Union. By the mid-1990s, even Boris Yeltsin understood that he was played nicely. The return of Evgeny Primakov to the Kremlin and Yeltsin’s overture to Beijing were the surest signs of a course correction. ” Bhadrakumar

Trump also knows that war against Syria,Somali,Yemen are contrived by Israel. .He kwnos Gaza war is a planned holocausting of Palestinianin. His core racism prevents him even from moderating his vitriol against the Arab victims .He blames Zelnskey for stealing.He openly touted the rights of stealing oil from Libya and Syria . HE IS A BASTARD to the core. That racism explains his personal desire to recah deal with Russia and start war against China.
The racism and its effects must be destroyed and erased .
US will scutle and abuse any agrement on flimsy excuse once Russia is roped in and Russia-China mistrust seeps in. US has done again and again . Russia can do but it will pave its path of destcrution with none missing its presence.

Hua Bin,
Western Elites (Bilderberger/Davos) want less human beings on this planet as soon as possible. They have DELIBERATELY drugged and degenerated their own populace.
The West is demographically damaged, and would have quite a road back if it wanted to surpass the East in an honest fashion. I don’t think they are that patient. They will instruct their militaries to prepare to defeat the East. Look for the West to preach reconciliation while preparing for war so that they can strike quickly. They will assuredly be looking for proxies to occupy the East’s attention while preparing to defeat the East in the most underhanded way imaginable
Don’t you think that if the BRICS gets really rolling, China will have achieved that ownership. Trump is scared shitless of BRICS. I will forego the criticism of Mearsheimer, although I am glad to see the honesty.
You must thank your corporate giants for sharing the technology (read the joint venture agreements). No technology was stolen, you repeating a lie doesn’t make it true. Your corporations were also a Johnny-come-lately, after the Chinese diaspora and the Europeans have already invested in China. So much like you yanks saving Europe after the Soviet Union had decimated the third Reich.
Tsk tsk, so much for crying victim.

Professor Mearsheimer is right that “conflict and aggression is the natural state of affairs in this worldview”
This is not by choice but by unfortunate necessity.
Heraclitus “War is the father and king of us all”
He has correctly pointed out that there’s no “911 to call” when nation states get invaded. This has been true since the dawn of time.
Reality is the world is permanently unstable. 200 nations means 200 armies forever trapped in battle.
Plato would say ” For (as he would say) “peace,” as the term is commonly employed, is nothing more than a name, the truth being that every State is, by a law of nature, engaged perpetually in an informal war with every other State.”
Frank Herbert “War has its roots in the single cell of the primordial seas. Eat what you touch or it eats you.”
Read Paul Virilio’s Pure War. Humanity exists in a state of emergency due to the rapidly changing advancement of military weapons. From Crossbow to H-Bomb and beyond. It’s not what you believe Mr Bin, but what you can defend, which rests largely upon the weapon systems you currently possess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter_weapon
there is really only one question that is pertinent:
what type of tuba does mertsheimer play?
Well then, your definition of a persons culture is indeed very broad and this at best too simplistic to have any meaning. It’s as ridiculous to talk about white culture as when you talk about Asian culture. Han Chinese and Post WW2 Japanese are both Asian cultures, but they are worlds apart in many key ways. White culture and Asian culture have usefulness only when marking the most broad differences between those two groupings.
Nazi German culture, obviously, is not at all the same as medieval Germanic Catholic culture. Contemporary Liberal German culture indeed bears more than passing similarities with both Nazi German and pagan Germanic cultures, but it also is not close to being the same culture as Medieval Germanic Catholic. Like Nazi German, Liberal post-Christian German is essentially antithetical to Medieval Germanic Catholic.
And that is just staying with one basic ethno-lingusitic group.
Jews are the source of defining culture as you do. Jews since Late Antiquity, when the majority of Roman citizens had come to identify themselves as Christians in some sense (often an heretical sense), have seen all whites as being part of the thing they hate most: Christendom.
Jews also see other Semites the same way, a brand way that lies is easy for them justify their hatreds. All ‘Arabs’ are one culture to Jews. Hence there is no such thing as a Palestinian in any sense that matters to Jews. Just ship those people rot Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc, because they all are Arabs.
And so back to the most important basic here: all white cultures are not the same. WASP culture is a philo-Semitic culture because of the religiously defining Judaizing heresy Anglo-Saxon Puritanism.
Sterling Seagrave wrote about the role of the Chinese diaspora’s involvement in shaping modern China in Lords of the Rim.
You are leaving out a whole lot of WASPs marrying Jews starting in the late 18th century in the UK. That pattern was much later arriving in the USA if only because there were so few Jews.
A culture based on Judaizing heresy is always come to come back to the vomit of philo-Semitism. In waves. You cannot alter that as long as that culture reigns. That pattern is nit because of specific historic events. Rather the cultural foundation just uses whatever events are there to re-emerge and act to gain even more power.

The author ignores that Russia is a historically Christian nation and Empire, and culturally and psychologically speaking, is oriented to the nominally Christian West. This is why the Marxist-Zionist jews seek to drive a wedge between the former quasi-monolithic forces of Christendom.
As the Satanic jewess Barbara Lerner Spectre put it:
“I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.” – Barbara Lerner Spectre
https://archive.org/details/barbara_lerner_spectre_on_jews_multiculturalism_and_europe
So the jews are correct to be fearful that Christian Europe is going to reunite. That’s one reason there’s so much hysteria by Marxist-Zionists over Trump’s reproachment with Russia. Of course, it’s wasted energy because it is inevitable, as is Christendom’s penetration of China.
Christendom is going to dispose of these Satanic Marxist-Zionists wherever they roost, including in Mao’s China. They’re to be hunted to the ends of the earth.
This is clearly God’s will, from the violence of Moses on the hebroids through the Prophets hurling recriminations through Jesus Christ’s destruction of the Synagogue of Satan through Christendom’s suppression of the jews and now through the Second Coming and the eventual and inevitable total destruction of Marxist-Zionism.
History is crystal clear on all of this.
Harsh but true.
I listen to him frequently on The Duran and he really believes US Uber Alles.
Contrary to what you say, there is a distinct white European culture that has evolved over 3,000 years based on cultural exchanges between Europeans.
You talk about Japan and China not influencing each other. That’s because Japan shut out the rest of the world for centuries and would not tolerate foreigners in its midst. Nor did it engage in foreign adventures.
Even so, East Asians have a great deal in common with each other. You can experience the distinct character that they share — in contrast to the rest of the world — by visiting the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
What you’re doing here is pettifogging because you don’t want white people to have a distinct identity they can celebrate and defend.
You are no different than the Jews as far as white people are concerned. There is a quote that it is appropriate to take note of here:
“The Jew is the ferment of decomposition in peoples.” — Theodor Mommsen
” … the religiously defining Judaizing heresy [of] Anglo-Saxon Puritanism.”
Anglo-Saxon Protestantism is no more Judaized than the Roman Catholic Church.
Nostra Aetate — which is part of the Roman Catholic magisterium — says that Christians are grafted into the Jewish vine instead of the other way around. You can’t get more Judaized than that.
Furthermore, Roman Catholic rulers made Jews members of their courts, privileging them over the common folk and using them as tax farmers to squeeze money out of their subjects.
“A culture based on Judaizing heresy is always come to come back to the vomit of phil0-Semitism.”
It’s obvious you’ve been hanging on every word spoken or written by E. Michael Jones.
He is great when it comes to pointing out Jewish subversion, but his accusations against Protestants are nothing more than a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Jones should be taken cum grano salis.
The Satanic and treasonous Judas Class has always been in a hidden war against Christendom. The golem of the Judas Class may be even more treacherous, murderous, degenerate, and destructive than the jews/hebroids. The jews/hebroids are consciously evil, but the golem are reactively evil. The top jews usually calculate their evil, whereas the top golem might or might not be so calculating, relying more on the mob and the immedite imperative to do their treachery, but usually taking their cues from the jew. Think of Lindsey Graham and ((George Soros)). Graham is mostly a destructive and degenerate twit who goes with the flow, whereas Soros is a calculating and destructive stiff-necked jackass.
By Christian Logos, we can trace this back to the useful idiot but Machiavellian Roman governor Pilate, and the calculating Pharisees.
But at this point, the Satanic jews and the golem of the Judas Class have more or less merged into one treacherous man-beast that must be destroyed. For eternity.

There has been a ‘resurgence of ‘antisemitism’, because there has been a resurgence of Judaic, particularly Zionazi, crime and barbarity. And, remember, the supreme crime that a goy can commit is NOT murdering Jews, but ‘opposing’ them. THAT is a crucial parameter that explains what Judaism really is-a very long-lived Mafia, intent on world domination.

The difference between Crackpot realism and non-Crackpot realism is timing. When to wed supposedly high morality with militarism. Human history, after all, is not just the struggle between good and evil in a monotony fashion all the time.
The saner part of Judaiam/Christian teaching:
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to …”
There is a time for world power to cooperate to achieve greater good.
Didn’t read the whole post, but….
anything that says “crackpot” and “realist” in the same sentence is A-OK in my book. Not that anybody ever really reads my book, but so OK oh well…..

You fail to acknowledge that Marxism and kosher “liberalism” (and its various racketeering fronts) are part of, and a party to, Judeofascism and Zionism. ((Barbara Lerner Spectre)) and her Zionist organization, posing as “liberal”, are prime examples.
Trying to pick organized criminal Zionists and liberal fascists out of the JUSA/Anglosphere at this point is like trying to pick fly sh*t out of pepper. Juden-fascist organized criminals never should have been allowed breathing room anywhere in Christendom, let alone been allowed to maneuver their way, snake-like, into the top echelons of the United States.
Now its going to take an anti-Judeofascist revolution to oust these criminal Marxist-Zionist demons and identity thieves, aka pogroms. This might or might not happen in my lifetime, but it WILL happen. Not because I want it to happen, but because the will to order of complex and variegated humanity, which is moving into an existential danger zone (the “valley of death”) that now requires Christ-like discipline and ethics to hit on all cylinders and progress like a smooth-running machine through this era of mortal danger, requires it to happen.
We can’t have these demonic jews and their wicked whores and vainglorious, soulless stooges throwing monkey wrenches into the machinery anymore.
“The difference between Crackpot realism and non-Crackpot realism is timing.”
Heh, that’s a great one. The only problem is, the things we say here don’t ever translate into actual policy, it’s all Spoken Into the Void, as Adolph Loos famously said.
But as for “timing” here’s a good one… whatever else you’d like to think of Al Franken, he is in fact an extremely funny writer. I was sitting with him one sunny afternoon in the SNL re-write room, and he explained to me…
–> Here, he said, is the Secret of Comedy in just two jokes. Joke one: Ask me — O Great Master, what is the Secret of Comedy?
–> ME: Oh Great Master, what is the —
–> Timing. Okay, Now ask me again.
–> Oh Great Master… what is the secret of comedy?
–> [IMPOSSIBLY LONG, PAINFULLY LONG PAUSE; THEN] Timing.
I’m embarrassed that Hua Bin is doubling down on a self parody. IMO, the biggest criticism of Mearsheimer is almost how simplistic it is – not how hamfisted, or “bait and switch” it is. Don’t blame Mearsheimer for the rise of China, he never supported economic ties. But he has said, “I feel at home” in China, and I “would do the same thing” if I were in the CCP position.
“Neocons” are forever 1938ers…..for Israel. This just doesn’t apply to offensive realists – who must admit, simplistically, that it is expected Israel would draft US military bases at all costs.
“White” is Germanic, Celtic, Slavic. The European groups are cultures, and was a “melting pot” before the bio-weapon that was the 1965 Hart-Celler act.
Ultimately, a fiat currency is backed only by the output of goods and services from the people to whom it is the legal tender – that is, they are compelled to sell their goods and services in that currency.
Once this is clearly understood, it becomes easy to compare the dollar and the yuan. Yuan may not have a great network, or markets, but it is backed by the Chinese people. Dollar is bound to decline unless the American people’s output goes up.
And, anyone who has to right to create money in a fiat economy essentially can absorb the entire surplus and spend it wherever he likes…
The above comment reveals that Hua Bin has a fundamental misunderstanding of John Mearsheimer and Mearsheimer’s work. To wit, Mearsheimer’s policy recommendations are not based on Mearsheimer’s view on how “international relationships should be organized.” Instead, Mearsheimer’s policy recommendations are based on how international relationships are and have been organized throughout history.
The world is not organized in the way that John Mearsheimer prefers. Indeed, that is why Mearsheimer’s book is called “The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.” Nevertheless, Mearsheimer has done an outstanding job of analyzing how the world is (instead of how it should be) organized. And Mearsheimer makes his policy recommendations based on those realities. The result is such that, over the years, nobody has made better predictions of policy outcomes or offered better policy analysis or has made sounder policy recommendations for the parties involved than John Mearsheimer.
Al Franken? Why bother?
You are welcomed to try Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 of the Christian bible.
In case you don’t appreciate that kind of writing because of its Jewish author, the current parlance for knowing when to say when or what is called “Cognitive Flexibility.”
Of course,it is anyone’s freedom to equate his or her cognitive inflexibility with superiority.
All you have to do is educate a populace with reason, and explain to them that a slightly below-replacement birthrate is desired.
With the exploding third world, simply explain that they will not be allowed to immivade the West or East, and that all aid will be suspended if a below-replacement birthrate isn’t achieved by a start date. The problem would solve itself or starve itself. Vasectomy and hysterectomy surgeries after family has a second child could be offered for free by the WHO
No need for sneaky vaccines, etc.
Just easier for Africa China and India to just force the Moslems to their Arab Masters, and the Christians to their Euro Masters. You can gas them and tell them about the power of Christ. Same results.
The chinese people are in for a hard ride under the CCP since the CCP is so confrontational e.g. massive resource robbery against Phils, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia etc, never mind Taiwan, US and Japan AND the massive infrastructure and real estate frauds.
Seems China is going to implode population wise even without a costly war.
Going into the start of 2010s China was well positioned to be the next big thing if it could learn to project softpower and continue its low key growth and subversion, instead of Xi’s more blatant criminal (CCP) version we’ve seen for the last dozen years.
Maybe it’s lucky for the rest of the world that Poo Bear is such a strident dickhead and blew the CCP cover for an otherwise simple world takeover while sleeping.
There are a lot of 50 cent flavors and little pinks here at Unz, to the point it is almost hijacked and cost the site credibility, often far beyond a mere cool, honest presentation of CCP views.
