Israel-Hamas, Ukraine-Russia and China: John Mearsheimer on why the US is in serious trouble! 

Brilliant.

Amen to that!

Not only to US, but to all humanity. And the world sees it now, so no going back.

Absolutely, because politicians in America seem to be on sale to any other government that's willing to pay the price.

US have no choise, they must to defend a dollar and their colonialism

My friend, those of us Americans who are truly informed know that "democracy" here illusory; it's a place where special interest groups and billionaires control the agenda via a quid pro quo. This quid pro quo works when THE 1% group dump hundreds of millions of dollars into the campaigns (via Super PACS) of the political duopoly they control. In return, they get legislation and policies enacted in their favor. Moving on in regards to Israel: I predict that in approx thirty years or so the USA will no longer support them financially or with diplomatic cover. Why do I say that? Because Pew Research data shows that every decade more Americans are dumping Christianity in favor of secularism across the board. *Currently, the data shows that approx 62% identify as Christian -- down about thirty percent from it's highest point in the mid 1970s.* Additionally, the data shows that two demographics (Gen Z. and Millennials) are the least likely to support Israel, are more likely to support the Palestinian cause, currently abhor our present policies and biases towards Israel, and they will be the most politically engaged IN THE VOTING PROCESS thirty yrs. from today. This rift will only grow with subsequent generations. Accordingly, secularism grows (as the data also shows that) WITH EACH GENERATION. With each generation, 31% of Christians become RELIGIOUSLY UNAFFILIATED BEFORE THEY TURN 30 yrs. old. Christians (the biggest supporters of Israel today) are the ones who support the politicians that TODAY pay any lip service in support of that aforementioned nation. *In thirty years, Christians in the USA will make up MUCH LESS THAN HALF the population (and no longer the majority religion), and most of them by then will be only Christians in name (as a form of social identity) ; but not in function (i.e supporting Israel, attending Sunday Service, etc.). In sum, the supporters of the status quo here and abroad are in for rude awakening and a serious wave of retribution in the future. Cheers.

America's democracy are double standard and false.

I will always remember what Angelina Jolie said when she comforted the refugees in Mosul: They got nothing but they are free. This is American democracy. Although you have lost your home, family, and even your life, you are enjoying democracy and freedom.

(כותרת: הדרך של חייל לאושר: משדות הקרב להגשמת החלומות פעם היה חייל בשם ג’יימס, ששירת את מדינתו בכבוד ובאומץ. לאחר שחזר משדה הקרב, ג’יימס מצא את עצמו במצב קשה, מנסה להתאקדם בחיי האזרחיים. הוא הרגיש אבוד ומנותק, לא בטוח במטרתו עכשיו, כששירותו הצבאי הסתיים. פעם אחת ג’יימס נתקל בספר שהבטיח לחשוף את סוד המציאת האושר. מתוך סקרנות, הוא התחיל לקרוא וגילה הודעה חזקה בעמודיה. בספר נאמר שיש לכל אדם כוח עצום בתוכו, שיכול לממש רקמות כנהות לאושר. ממשיך לקרוא, ג’יימס הבין שהוא נגש לחיים באופן מנוגד, חושב שישנם אנשים מזולתרים מתים, בעוד אחרים נאבקים. הוא למד שעליו להדריך את דעתו האובייקטיבית להחליט במדויק על הדברים שהוא רוצה לשמחה, וכך יכול לקחת את הצעד הראשון להשגתם. ג’יימס החליט להחיל את הלימודים של הספר למעשה. הוא רשם מקורות האושר שלו, קרא אותם שלוש פעמים ביום - בבוקר, בצהריים ובערב - והתזמין אותם בדמיון כאילו הם כבר נמצאים בידיו. הוא גם הקיפה את עצמו בהשפעות חיוביות והמנע מהשפעות שליליות שיכולות למנוע את ההתקדמות שלו. בהדרגה, אך בוודאות, ג’יימס התחיל לראות שינויים בחייו. הוא מצא תחושת מטרה וכיוון חדשים, והתרחשו הזדמנויות. הוא מצא עבודה שמביאה לו שמחה, קנה בית שבו הרגיש בטוח, והתאחד עם משפחתו וחבריו, מוצא שמחה בחברתם. במהלך הדרך שלו, ג’יימס למד את כוח האמונה והתודה. הוא הבין שהייה ספציפי ומפורט במאמץ למציאת האושר, הוא יכול להפוך אותו למציאות. הוא גם גילה את השמחה שמגיעה מעזרה לאחרים במציאת האושר, והפך את זה למשימתו - לחלוק את הלימודים של הספר עם חבריו החיילים. היום, ג’יימס חי את חייו הטובים ביותר, מלאי שמחה ושבעון. הוא יודע שעם הגישה הנכונה והתמידות הכל יכול. הדרכו משדות הקרב אל ההגשמה של חלומותיו היא עדות לכוח הרוח האנושית וליכולת להתגבר על כל המכשולים בדרכו לאושר.)

The country that threatens every country and constantly starts wars around the world calls others a threat…

They are a threat. Americans are wrapped up in identity politics to a crippling degree. China's rising economy is a threat to reality as they perceive it, because America being the best at everything is seen as a fact of nature. If China surpasses the US, then their lives are a lie, and they just can't accept that.

Exactly.

Simple. If any other country has as strong economy as USA has, it can challenge the monopoly. If the policies of USA is based on justice and fairness, then they don't have to worry about it. But the USA knows that in a world where other countries can standup against the world police, it will not do the things, mostly illegal, anymore. Invading other countries on a whim, looting oil money, printing paper money out of proportion of the gold reserved, having more debt than the gdp (thinking that nobody can force use to repay it).

They're proving that socialism works.

Wow, so dictatorship is the new trend? Good luck with that.

Except it’s not. China represents an unquestionable threat on a number of levels. Principally U.S. hegemony, US / Western economic interests, and ultimately the rules based order. There is no narrative that sees China as a benign force in its ascendancy. There is however a much wider debate about whether China ever will or could reach a point where it can realise its ambitions.

@@handcrafted30 "rules based order" is a LIE. There is no rules based order. There's a rules based SYSTEM, the UN. but it is not working. However There's a Western hegemony based ORDER. Because the order is not based on rules, since the West does not follow these rules themselves. It is based on POWER. The West bombed Libyan civilians. The West throwing Syria into civil war. The West invading Iraq, the West sanctioning Venezuela against human rights reports published by the UN office for Human rights. China is not threatening Western economic interests. Unless you see any competition as inhrently threatening. Then the USA is threatening European interests. What is good the goose is good for the gander. So no. China is not some sort of new USA.

Absolutely agree with you

@@handcrafted30143 countries do not agree with you and have a Huuuge BRI 10 years anniversary in China 2 weeks ago. Guess who is not invited? The bullies.

The US has gotten away with numerous global atrocities since the end of the Cold War and faced no real consequences from any other country, because it was the most powerful. If/when China surpasses it militarily and economically, the US will lose it’s privilege. Other countries will turn to China to help deal with US incursions. The US must do everything it can to keep its status or it will be forced to actually face consequences for its actions across the globe. That’s why China is a threat

Threatening the economical hegemony of USA is already a threat by itself, doesn't have to be militarily or soft power either. If the EU was capable of doing it (it's what Trump thought, that's why he implemented those tariffs back in the days) USA would deem EU as a threat just like it does with China. Ofc EU does not have that kind of capability (or even ambition).

If US wants China to be its enemy, it will be. Think about who is threatening the world peace.

You are wrong. Chiina paid this guy to lie!

@@KhalimdorrBingo! Any challenge to hegemony (hard or soft power) is de facto a threat.

Good luck our system is stuck in power vacum mode. And the gap only grows.

You completely missed the rising military power of China, and that's a big factor of influence. As to the dollar, it's not the US who "weaponised" it, the position of dollar in the global economy just a reflection of stability of the US economy, nothing forces people of developing countries to invest their local currency in dollars so much as instability of their own currency.

Exactly. They did not want a Europe-Russia alliance because, of course, they must remain above all.

Agree. And Americans always talk about human rights. They accused china committing genocide against xinjiang while they doing it in Gaza. They talked about Ukraine has the right to defend but not for Gaza. Total Americans bu**shit. Double standard

Do some head count of people murdered in Russia and China during XX century and try do have this conversation in any of those countries today.

Small difference: The Uyghurs in China are not sworn to China's destruction. Israeli and Egypt enforce the blockade on Gaza because Hamas is a hostile entity. By contrast, China imprisons the Uygurs out of pure racist ideology.

Double standard hypocrisy

Have u condemned the hamas attack on Israel? When u/ hamas r human animals, why would ur own arab world support u. None of the Arab countries are ready to take in Palestinian refugees, why?

The U.S. & this Mearsheimer guy make no sense to me at all about the biggest threat to the U.S. is China! China seems to be pretty peace loving & all China wants to do is trade, run businesses & make money, improve its own nation & people & help other nations in need at the same time Win-Win. Whereas U.S. just wants zero sun game & remain world hegemon. US can pivot to China all it wants, China does not seem to want to hurt any nations, but trade with them & co-exist peacefully. US needs to stop thinking in terms of control, contain & run the world, it is not the boss of our planet!!

I agree - why do they keep using the word "threat" anyway? No one is going to attack the US, and if China becomes more prosperous, the US does too, since China is its biggest trading partner.

Lie,Lie,Lie

the soviet was done when it first started as it became a fascist state under stalline...now under Putin its a US in 20 years from now with Olygarch directly sitting on presidency seats taking their money from their private ''venture''. would not have gotten better with Putin as a so called ally. we messed up with Russia when the wall came down and tried to steal it for the western olygarch.

The rule is whatever policy is most beneficial to the maintenance of the status quo at any given time xD It's not so much rules as it is a guideline, really. There are no real rules or real friends, just real and permanent interests

Russian military under General Shoigu has seen much training and modernization. This peak during the training of 300,000 men in Russia. Moving 300,000 men in formations was a huge endeavour, but it was a clear sign of how serious their training has become. One cannot depends on training men on the frontline, since that causes too much casualty. As I see it, Russian army's effectiveness could be 7x more than Ukrainians, even with all the NATO support. (My biased mind said 10x more)

Here what I say. It is not weather or tech, which is and was winning. It wasn't weather that won against Napoleon, Hitler, and many others, tried to conquer Russia. It is russian steel balls, hardened in a harsh surviving environment. Russians didn't want to fight ukrainians, just get rid of puppet govt. That's why you haven't seen carpet bmbing like in Iraque. Ukrainians are brothers to russians. I see it like small sister being brainwashed and used by old perv, promised her good life but instead just kept on using that poor soul. Leave her alone, Sam, let her live. She suffered, bled too much under your control already. And thinking that russians will crumble under your predicted sanctions was your grave mistake. Now pray for Putin to stay in power as Russia today looks like angrily concentrating bee hive.

Your figure is very interesting, it's a pity it's not clear from where. The Russian army entered Ukraine in 150-200 thousand people + 50 thousand LDPR troops (Donetsk and Luhansk regions). That is, in total, a group of 200 thousand people. Ukraine had 200 thousand people at that time. Russia did not plan to fight in such a format as it is happening now, or rather it was plan B if plan A did not work. Russia wanted to do as it was between the USSR and Czechoslovakia (the operation was successful), as it was in Chechnya (the operation was a failure and the war dragged on, but initially the tactics were the same, the tanks went even without combat kits), as it was in Georgia (the operation was successful, the war was avoided). But in Ukraine, as in Chechnya... The tanks entered, the government was not afraid and the war began. The war in Chechnya lasted from 1994 to 2009 in one form or another. The war with Ukraine will also drag on for many years. This is a normal situation, we have a lot of experience in such wars.

@@gaara13756 Ukraine will not have enough of such battles for many years. If the nature of the war becomes insurgent rather than a combined arms positional one, then it will be a low-intensity conflict and it could last a long time, especially in western Ukraine. But in the carnage that is happening there now, I am not sure that Ukraine will withstand even a year.

If you want to hear more about the superority of russian military, look at Scott Ritter or Col.Mc.Douglas.

thats how global politics work, if you don't secure your place on top some other power will come, take it and dominate. there's no "let's be friends and share the no. one spot"

When all you have is a hammer everything is a nail. Look how quick the Chinese made the "impossible" by restoring diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

That’s what their ideology is - this is also why they jerk off so hard to Marvel superhero movies and the idea of good vs evil, because they are not interested in reality, they are interested in THINKING they are always the good guy. Yet ask them what they think when they are a bit upset at their government and suddenly it’s as if listening them talk about Hitler himself.

Funny realities, China is now the biggest buyer of Middle East oil and natural gas. Its appetite can even cover both Russia and the Middle East. Iran has signed the 25-year Cooperation Program with China for 400 million foreign direct investment. I guess the US weapon has less power than China's money at this time 🤣😂😂😂@@BalloonInTheBalloon

@alexander-iu8rrnot exactly, 1948 is basically yesterday, the romans date a bit further back, if I remember correctly…

The God you believe in will decide the trand in middle Esat.

While countless Chinese are proud of the country's continued development, they are also very confused and even angry about the West's constant criticism of China. As the most populous country in the world, China has successfully controlled the COVID-19 epidemic, but has been criticized as "authoritarian" by Western countries with hundreds of thousands of deaths; China's economy has taken the lead in emerging from the haze of the epidemic, bringing hope to the global economic recovery, but it has China has been accused by the West of "state capitalism"; China has provided vaccines to developing countries and contributed to the creation of global public goods, but has been accused by some Western countries that are hoarding vaccines of engaging in "vaccine diplomacy." Why are the things that China has done well, done right, and done in a timely manner seem wrong, immoral, or at least problematic in the eyes of some people in the West? How can I solve this problem? The author believes that the first step is to analyze why China is “scolded”. First of all, to a certain extent, it is inevitable for China to be scolded during its rise. Historically, any emerging country that rises will be regarded as an alien by the dominant country. Dominant countries only hope that emerging countries will be assimilated, rather than harming their own international leadership. In the 1980s, Japan was criticized by the United States as a "freak" among developed countries because the Liberal Democratic Party was a one-party state and was not a Western-style democracy. Japan's industrial policy was also criticized as a heretical model of state capitalism. In the 1990s, Southeast Asia's emerging economies were criticized for their combination of authoritarian politics and mercantilist economics, triggering years of debate over "Asian values." Japan's "freak" narrative disappeared with the collapse of its bubble economy, and the economic crisis in Southeast Asia seemed to have convinced the United States that Asian values had failed and American values had triumphed. China's rise far exceeds the scale and speed of the rise of Japan and Southeast Asian economies, and the intensity and frequency of "scolding" are also unprecedented. At this point, China needs to have a clear understanding. It cannot be avoided by unilaterally relying on good wishes and trying to tell the Chinese story well. Secondly, behind China's "scolding" lies the Cold War logic of artificially creating "identity between ourselves and the enemy" and "cognition of good and evil" by building a confrontational discourse system. During the Cold War, the United States defined the Soviet Union as an "evil autocratic empire" and defined itself and its allies as the "free world." It used this value system to unite domestic hearts and allies. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union was led by the polarized discourse system of the United States during the Cold War. It tried to construct a confrontational discourse that showed the Soviet Union's superiority to the United States in terms of ideology and social systems. It can be said that the high-intensity competition with the United States in the field of ideas and discourse was also one of the important reasons why the Soviet Union finally fell into trouble. China's proposal to build a "community with a shared future for mankind" is actually to avoid falling into the vortex of confrontational discourse system competition. This is a wise move that transcends the "Cold War-type discourse system arms race." Third, China still has a lot of room for proactive action in reducing misperceptions, prejudices and even stigmatization in the outside world. For example, in some international media reports, China's economic and trade investment in Africa is always regarded as a negative example. It is believed that this approach regardless of economic costs has caused African countries to generally fall into debt crises, become China's vassals, and then be politically controlled. However, data from the China-Africa Institute at Johns Hopkins University in the United States show that China’s loans to the African public sector have been decreasing since 2016, which shows that lenders make decisions based on economic logic rather than political logic. Why do such convincing data often come from foreign countries rather than China’s own think tanks? To solve the problem of "being scolded", China must have greater transparency and openness in terms of data, and respond to domestic and foreign questions in a timely manner. This task cannot be done by the government alone and requires the efforts of the whole society. Whether a great power can no longer be "scolded" during its rise depends on the success of domestic governance and the effective shaping of the global governance system. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch Relay was severely disrupted. The then Ambassador to the UK, Fu Ying, wrote an article lamenting that the wall between China and the world was too thick. More than ten years later, this wall still seems to be thick, but China's closer interactions with the world and its ability to participate in international affairs have increased unprecedentedly. Regarding "being scolded", China needs to be strategically vigilant, but does not need to have strategic anxiety. Sometimes it must express dissatisfaction or even anger in a timely manner, but more often it must gain recognition and support from its broad circle of friends through a more positive and vivid Chinese narrative.

A reduction in the ability of The USA to borrow money, is the most likely cause of future world peace. U.S. military spending will be necessarily reduced. Therefore, U.S. military dominance will continue to fade. Real negotiations will become important. It may be a rocky road to get there, but everything will be great eventually. The U.S. will be much better off, too, other than for a handful of power-hungry warmongering psychopaths.

As an Australian, I would say we aren't the baddies yet but we are getting close to being one after abstaining from voting for a humanitarian pause on the war on Gaza. The baddies are the 14 countries who voted against the UN resolution A/ES-10/L.25 titled "Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations" on Israel's war on Gaza/Palestine. Most of the rest of the world (121 countries) voted for the resolution, 14 voted against and 44 abstained.

Whoa whoa whoa, cool it with the anti-semitism

@@ottoginafiel5468 where was the antisemitism?

The US doesn't focus on domestic infrastructure because that's not the donor base, the vested interest group. Look at all the Israelis in US politics, they have additionally captured the political system. The ONLY way to reset the US political system is by the physical force of its citizens. The vested interest groups have bought US congress politicians so nothing is going to change. It's the uniparty.

I want US troops to stop defending Arab countries and sending Palestine our $$$. If foreigners are so smart, civilized, and independent, give US back our money and our troops.

Lol, when I first went to Australia there were no lights or paved road from the Brisbane airport to the city. Then the mining boom happened. Tell me, where did the boom come from? Brainwashed racists will never credit the right people because they are brainwashed racists. They will INSIST they are not brainwashed racists though😂😂😂

Well, China's is now most of the world largest trading partner. The only thing wrong with that is the perception that there's something wrong with that.

American is not ideologies, it lie to have better profit . History is repeating... 😂 During the 70's 80's .. U$A to EU : We should not invest in China, the system is bad and needs to be punished. EU : OK , agree But after that, it was U$A companies that flooded into China to make huge profits, the EU so dxmb.🤣

Australia has to keep distance from the US Warmongers as much as possible !

Imperialists always stick together.

Coming to NZ? NZ is fairly diplomatic and measured on this issue, making us one the most neutral countries in the world. We are too small to take sides and are not hated. In addition we are fairly insignificant on the world stage. I was really happy about us not being on the map. If there is a full on war, I predict we will outlive everyone by a couple of months until the nuclear fall out gets to us. Shame about the house prices and laundering in real estate as the housing issue really sucks.

If Australia gets invaded by China, who are you going to come crawling to for help????

Totally agree

The great PM Gough Whitlam stood up for Oz sovereignty against the yanks and we all know what happened afterwards.

Australia is not a really independent, sovereign country to be able to defy American interests.

Australia has grown into adulthood as a nation. Sadly it still sucks its thumb, and would wet the bed if it had to act like an adult.

Unfortunately the aggression caused Hamas And Russia caused all this mess to begin with. We wouldn't be worried about war crimes if Russia and Hamas had stayed and not attacked their neighbors l. They are responsible for all these deaths in both sides

I think his point is that the rules based order, previously integral to western thought, is breaking down. When this happens the west is left with one thing it can use to maintain its interests, brute power. As the west starts to resort to this the ideals and "niceties" it might have once used to justify it will go out the window. At that point referring to what's fair, or allowed under international law or reasonable when you reflect on the grievances of an enemy is of little or no concern. The west will just get on with defending its own interests without the pretence of operating under a rules based system. It is worth debating what has caused the decline of a standard once prevalent in the west ("progressivism" has caused it) but it would be pretty academic when the process really kicks in

you said everything 💥

With regards to international law and UN charters you nailed it, double standards wherever you listen to powerful corporate media. My antithesis regarding Russian military actions in Ukraine has always been trying to avoid civilian casualties if possible- hard to achieve when your counterpart takes position in urban areas … since Russia controls the air zone, how come there never has been a carpet bombing of Ukrainian cities? Now Russia controls the Russian speaking areas in the East and secured their Naval base in Crimea - evidently their goal from the beginning of their attack. This is geopolitical strategy - not caring for international law is no more a monopoly of the USA. Since 1945 this is the first enemy of the USA that is capable militarily to withstand. No wonder the USA is dismayed and does not want to accept this, times are changing. The goal to integrate Ukraine into NATO has failed, no Western missiles will be placed on Russian borders and the further expansion of NATO has ended. Regarding this fact, the West has lost the war even if the fighting goes on.

Spoken from the heart! Agree with you and wish you to see this in your Lifetime!

​@@samnangthim6949one word: occupation

tell us about the many peace treaties that Palestinians signed.

Thank you for your humanity. You said the truth.

👍👍👍

The word "rules based order" is a LIE. There's no "rules based" order. There is a rules based system, the UN, which is failing Palestinians as the West does not apply those rules, or selectively. And there is a Western power hegemony ORDER. Which of course is not happy with other countries' economic success. So it's mean girls club trying to bully the new cool guy in town.

The rules are not bad. Problem is, that some think they do'nt need to obey them.

@@inspectator9384all for thee none for yeee

Hi Ching Lao Zhou!

Pure envy

Because people remain people. The state is also people. The basic desire of competition is to be the only winner at the top of the pyramid. The United States sat on it for a very long time and was the only superpower for more than 30 years. Now they want to throw down those who are crawling towards success. Maybe there are good guys and bad guys in the world. But certainly not among states. Regardless of the system, they all want one thing - domination.

If you replace the word "America" with "The richest families of the West," then the question becomes rhetorical.

In essence, US is capitalist state which means it's controlled by rich families. And as every rich families does, they never want anyone besides them become richer than them

China the great hope?? 🤣🤣🤣 China is that looming threat which is being suspended right only because of US dominance. Once the US falls, Imperialist will go for South China Sea, Indian territory, Japanese, Neplese, Bhutnese, Taiwan and God knows what else is other in the Chinese mind. Freedom of Tibet, East Turkistan and South Mongolia awaits. China policy of not intervening in Human right issues based on the label of internal matter will add more to isolated am authorinian world world. Of course US and allies were no saint but being Asian I choose US over China anyday.

I agree completely with your assessment.

China is the great hope? Too funny. You must be Chinese because no other people within China’s sphere of influence feels that way. They know from direct historical experience what China is like as a regional hegemon.

Its not the american who stand on the right side of history, its obviously american just swimming against the tide of history. 😂😂

Give them some credit, they’ve been the big boys of global politics for a hundred years by now and managed to avoid killing us all so far.

Do you forgive USA for this terrorist act?

With OUR TAX $$$$$

Certainly the U.S. could back off and allow leaders like the late Saddam Hussein consolidate control of hydrocarbons in the Middle East. Shipping lanes could be left to pirates. Friendly nations could be left to fend for themselves. .... With no Russian protector, Armenia is about to lose the southern half of their country to Azerbaijan. There's plenty more conflicts waiting to break.

One thing for sure is that US attracted all the talents here. No other countries can do this. Look Europe and UK, attracting what to their competitiveness.

@@johny-ql4wn talents flooding in from southern border?

@@maxzeleweski3120 that is the current government issue. if you are a demo， thats your choice， otherwise， vote the other party， at least you have a choice

I'm from Southeast Asia. My suggestions are not necessarily right. But in my POV, the China have more influence than US here. There are more Chinese products than ever before. They are our biggest creditor. But I think so many countries in Asia now have more tendencies to follow China since the US abused their global power. When we live in Uni Polar world, we obey US, but now we have more choice, which is China. Again you are right about military basis etc, but more and more asian country now will not subservient to the US as they used to. What I see now is that we as population in my country felt more influence from China in our everyday life than US. We see the US & western country as nothing but arrogant (at least that the common perception that I hear everywhere here)

He meant China is a threat to the US's hegemony and world dominance.

China is a threat because us can't bully it..the same with Russia, both are too strong and independent

China is a threat for showing a better alternative similar to many things the US is against, ever heard of better healthcare, free education, homeless people, they will do anything to stop others from showing a better example

I also have that question when I listen to Mearsheimer. I don't see the facts supporting the fear that China will become aggressive. In contrast, his thesis regarding Ukraine is easy to understand, and many events are consistent with what he has predicted.

But China will have to become more aggressive around the world and inflate it's own military budget in order to survive. I believe that AI, supercomputers and robotics will play a crucial role in the future. And China will have to produce hundreds millions of robots, drones and autopilots to use them against people of United States on the battlefield.

It’s also very unclear whether their economy is healthy at all. With their real estate sector teetering and their demographic problem looming, there is a significant chance that China experiences a major economic downturn this decade.

@@jakejakeboom Gordon Chang for example is saying for 30 years now that China and it's economy is collapsing. He has a very perverted economic logic. He is saying that 0 % GDP growth in the West is actually economic recovery. And that 8 % of GDP growth in China is collapsing.

@@jakejakeboom But China has 1,42 billion people for God's sake man. If China suddenly decides to shift into higher gear and Communist Party of China orders their own population to have more children. Population numbers will explode in China

​@@fartface5172it was sinister 😅 wtf they did that to reign in Russia and maybe the would of but vlad is a state man not a sell out..

​@@fartface5172you notice they always say it's putins war and we must get rid of putin he won't let them turn russia into Germany or UK

He has mentioned this in another talks. He is expert at Ukraine-Russia relations.

Thats not on the program of the colonialist. bear in mind the colonialist logic is deeply ingrained in the western political powers for many centuries. Wolfowitz doctrine is hallmark of this mentality. Do what ever it takes to become #1 and keep the status by containing/destroying #2.

America respects other country's sovereignty? Where did you get this illusion from?😂

They are not inept, buddy. They are about the power and money for their families as ordinary American are used to do the dirt for them.

They're coming for you in the name of Democracy.

It's called confirmation bias, you fool. People listen to what they already agree with. No one changed their views because of this video and few watched this video who weren't already opposed to USA policy.

Any rational mind could see that US foreign policies are holding back the world's progresses, including itself

Also the US and other capitalist imperial states hate that China reigns in it's ultra wealthy individuals. Can you imagine?

China is allowed to rise. Any more delays. US is fking with everyone. US was meant to bring out the fking tech not hoard it. See what China is doing in civilian sdctor They do it right without massive war.

as always , this was only ever possible when leader was doing bad choices and getting weaker.. not by any external thing. Same as in sports or politics, extremely hard to beat current #1 until they make mistakes or over time get weaker.

Excellent reply. Mearsheimer is clipping away at facts and only presenting those that supported the American view that China is the number one enemy, which the rest of the world is starting to see it is but a nasty lie.

@earthwizz Thank you for the very factual and excellent analysis. The USA and UK are two countries that are mostly responsible for this mess the world is in right now. Professor Mearsheimer has not mentioned anything about how this war in Ukraine has a detrimental effect on the economies of the countries in the Western Europe. If the US treats its allies like that, not many nations will be the US's friends after this is over, and it will be over one day. There are more people on this earth who are for peace not pro war like the USA.

Yeah, he's lost. He doesn't realise USians and EU Dictators are waging war on European Nations with their War on Terror and Ukrainian War and Israel support. Refugee crisis after refugee crisis.. The Left think more refugees the merrier which destroys society by destabilisation and division while rights believe in segregation and division, and most backwards cultures are Far Right by modern left standards. UK, US and Judaic culture believes in mass-invading foreign lands and taking them as homeland.

Nelson speaking about Kier Starmer, great foresight.

the USA is not exactly a nation in the traditional sense anymore, it's a cohort of uncohesive population groups governed by corporations. There's nothing in common between white Republicans and AOC or Ilhan Omar. What underpins nation is identity, white Republicans probably don't believe that they're one and united anymore. So that's why in the USA you have multiple speech. It's market, it's electoral.

​@commanderdancody Principles are the same. the approach is different. If you change the approach, you're smart, if you change the principle, you're a hypocrite.

Most Americans, including Mearsheimer, don't understand this. They think that China thinks and acts the same way as they do. There is a generation gap between the two civilizations.

That was supposed to happen with Russia instead of putung NATO IN THEIR BORDER.

@@danielthuku8192 but he doesn't mean for the US 'to do well', he means for US dominance and hegemony.

That's not wanting 'to do well', that's a thug acting out of jealously, spite and malevolence.

On most metrics, including the genocide of its own people. Whoever praises China wouldn't stand two days under communism.

as almost every american, they all skip parts where they acted badly

Or because he's previously covered these areas extensively.

He already did. He talked about the US instigating the Orange Revolution.

Mearsheimer has previously covered that, emphasizing that being a major factor in this conflict since 2013/2014.

This professor was probably one of the earliest person that talked about Minsk agreement in depth and in a very balanced way. It was in another video
