He really had a crystal ball, didn't he? In actuality he did not fall for propaganda that is presented to the masses and distilled government behavior down to their true motivations. He was absolutely correct in the conclusions and these are holding true all the way through 2022.

Because it is easy to assume our involvement caused the issue or aggravated it in hindsight. Inaction is never measured in the consequences when it comes to his calculus. What if Saddam was able to invade Kuwait and neighbors and commit more humanitarian disasters? Sure, America could not have been involved, but then the Professor would not have anything to talk about. He sure likes to be critical, even cynical, of American intervention and values, but offers no solutions. He is just a theorist.

So no they aren’t begging for a their own state or they would have agreed to one the last 7 times they were offered one! Don’t even get me started on his ridiculous CGTN, kowtowing he does for the CCP communist or the insane mental gymnastics he tries to do to blame Russia’s criminal invasion and annexation of Ukrainian sovereign territory on US backed NATO “expansion”!!?? NATO was basically going extinct until Putin started killing Europeans and talking like Hitler about the “Russian speaking people in the Donbas”. Mersheimer is a nut job! Of course college kids and ME muslim brotherhood Pan Arabist (Palestinians) Russians vatniks and Chinese Wumao’s love him ! Because can twist recent history to form a narrative that somehow always blames the United States for ALL the worlds problems.

Idealists have set imaginations of how the world works and don't want that bubble popped. Realism while being more rational, doesn't play to people's hopes and dreams. Both can be true, Utopias are real, but short lived, and Global Utopia is realistically far from anyone's lifetime, and even a Perfect Utopia eventually comes to an end.

He really blew the big question: “What advice would you give to students as to how they should prepare for the future?” The answer, of course, is that they should avoid the (essentially Nixonian) temptation to focus on issues of foreign policy and instead concern themselves with domestic issues. The story of the 21st century in America is how media and other policy makers are making it impossible for all but the most fortunate to live a civilized middle class life. It simply won’t matter what happens in great power relations if non-HYPS folks, have no work beyond pouring coffee, or if they have to cower in their apartments to avoid violence dusky types who’ve been exempted from the criminal law.

Analysis of this video today? He suggested that a coalition between the USA and Russia will be fostered due to China and Russia rivalry. And other errors. Affer discarding his mistaken advice on terrorism, all the Mearshmeimer assumptions were half a truly prophecy about China and the related international political frame. Considering his 50% efficacious prediction 21 years ago, I believe he has a good performance (despite far from to be perfect). Brasil

All great models have things to teach us about reality, and all models are wrong! Mearsheimer is correct, realism fails when the assumption that states are the primary agent. With the explosion of individual power on the international plane, transnational corporate entities, global non-government organisations, and structural changes at the international level, realism needs to be augmented with new models.
