\u00b9 John J. Mearsheimer from John\u2019s Substack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   On 29 January 2026, I was on the popular RT podcast \u2014 \u201cCross Talk\u00b2\u201d \u2014 with Alastair Crooke and the host Peter Lavelle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We discussed the return of great power politics after the unipolar moment, paying special attention to what motivates President Trump\u2019s foreign policy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The last time I was on Cross Talk was about ten years ago with Steve Cohen, the distinguished scholar of Russia, who left us too soon.<\/strong>https:\/\/open.substack.com\/pub\/mearsheimer\/p\/talking-great-power-politics-in-moscow?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1sxk3k<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
