1. On 15 August 2025, hours before Presidents Putin and Trump met in Alaska, I was on Democracy Now! hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan González. The other guest on the show was Matt Duss, who was Senator Bernie Sanders’ chief foreign policy advisor at one point in his career. Although Matt and I disagree about the origins of the Ukraine war, we talked mainly about what was likely to happen at the meeting in Alaska. On that front, there was little disagreement between us; and now that the meeting…

Prof. John Mearsheimer¹ : Will Putin Outfox Trump? Trump Stumbles Toward Alaska, 15 Aug 25
Key take aways 1. On 14 August 2025, on the “Judging Freedom” podcast, Judge Napolitano and I talked about the looming meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump and why it is likely to be a victory for Putin and why there will be no agreement that puts an end to the Ukraine war. We also discussed how incompetent the Trump administration has been in its dealings with the Ukraine issue. https://www.youtube.com/live/3eGPgHqd-g8?si=_5l09u_TtC6S2vky

1. On 31 July 2025, I was on the “Deep Dive” podcast with Lt. Col. (ret.) Danny Davis talking about Ukraine and whether that war will ever end, and if it does, what the aftermath will look like. We agreed that the end of the shooting is likely to lead to a frozen conflict attended by poisonous relations between Russia on one side and Ukraine and the West on the other https://www.youtube.com/live/OOe79Ftul5s?si=NssQm6xnMYNucfeg

ΠερισσότεραProf. John Mearsheimer : US Escalates the Ukraine War, 15 Jul 25
President Trump’s long-anticipated announcement turned out to be underwhelming: rather than a major policy shift or dramatic resolution to the Ukraine war, he issued a 50-day ultimatum threatening 100% “secondary tariffs” on countries trading with Russia if no deal is reached. This move was framed as tough, but experts called it largely empty rhetoric—with no real leverage behind it. Professor John Mearsheimer argued that Trump’s threats are toothless: the U.S. lacks weapons and manpower to meaningfully assist Ukraine, and sanctions on countries like China, India, and Brazil—core BRICS members—would backfire…
