Κατηγορία: Offensive Realism

Core takeaway  Prof. John J. Mearsheimer With the Trump presidency, we have seen the return of Great Power politics with a vengeance.  Global institutions and international law are being sidelined.  Ideological crusades are now absent. Does this make the world a better place?  I guess it depends where you are in the pecking order. Με την προεδρία του Τραμπ, είδαμε την επιστροφή της πολιτικής των Μεγάλων Δυνάμεων με εκδίκηση.  Οι παγκόσμιες θεσμικές δομές και το διεθνές δίκαιο παραγκωνίζονται.

1.Prof. John Mearsheimer : Welcome to Cold War 2.0 John J. Mearsheimer from John’s Substack Core take away On 29 January 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about the ongoing peace negotiations over Ukraine, which I believe are nothing more than Kabuki theater. This war is going to be settled on the battlefield. We also talked about the likelihood of the US attacking Iran.

1. On 16 December 2025, I spoke with Afshin Rattansi on his podcast “Going Underground.” We discussed President Trump’s foreign policy performance over the course of 2025. I made clear that I believe there are few successes and many failures. His first year in office has hardly been an auspicious start and there is little reason to think things will change in 2026, which looks like it is going to be another bleak year on the foreign-policy front. https://youtu.be/VVGzgWzBpUM?si=CVRFXj6ND5s937al
