I don't listen to verbal news radio etc. I read and print some so I can later re-read and think about what has been said . As a friend said 'Talk is cheap, money buys the beer!' I sure would like to read what John Mearsheimer has to say. David Stern. PS. I have one of his books.

I went to YouRube and brought up the machine generated transcript, which isn't great but took me 15 minutes to read rather than 45+.

Such a relief to hear well-reasoned military analysis of these two wars. Thank you, Dr. Mearsheimer.

As always, very instructive to listen to Professor John Mearsheimer. (I emphasize, listen to Professor John Mearsheimer)

@Paulo Kirk

Do you think many of those who follows Mearsheimer on Substack are not also aware of Simplicius?

What? I just put it out there. I am not polling Mearsheimer's readers, or berating them. If you already read Simplicius, good on you.

Not entirely sure who was being called "punk". Did you mean to give two links or just double tap there?

Great show, so informative. Thank goodness we have Professor Meerscheimer and Lieutenant Colonel Davis to provide the facts and the knowledgeable analysis. We will never get that from the mainstream media. No wonder Professor Meerscheimer demand to speak all around the world.

John,

Please do speak up and comment on Russia's use of torture in interrogation of these suspects. Evidence is all over the place that the suspected terrorists have been beaten up and tortured while in the captivity of Russian law enforcement. While I do understand the reason why Russians have gone to war to prevent NATO expansion to Ukraine, I absolutely do not see how, after torturing these people during interrogation, world's public opinion is going to believe whatever version of the story Russians are going to ultimately put out to pin responsibility on someone or some country, even if they speak the truth. Peskov declined to comment on this when asked by journalists. Russians' capacity for self-destruction remains very potent. I did not believe any accusations of war crimes committed by Russians uttered by West or Ukrainians so far, seeing their brutality on their own prime time TV, I now have my doubts. Torture is banned in Russian constitution so this also puts a huge question mark over their entire legal system.

Professor, would you agree that when the Ukraine conflict pauses or ends, we will be left with very disappointed allies, some of whom want to buy cheap energy from Russia, and some of whom want to fight and sanction Russia. How will this alliance hold together? If a security alliance (NATO) falls down in Europe, would the political alliance (EU) be far behind? Is a weak and divided Europe good for the US?

Those four guys will testify Jack Ruby and Frank Sinatra paid them if the Russians tell them to at this point.

Just because the zionists, netanyahu in particular who is a follower of fascism as he learnt from his father who was an acolyte of Zeev Jabotinsky (see https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/21/netanyahu-is-the-godfather-of-modern-israeli-fascism), claims that there are 4 or 5 battalions of Hamas in Rafah that does not make it so.

In fact it is more likely that Netanyahu is lying, lying because the zionists are determined to ensure there is nowhere in Gaza that is habitable so as to drive the zionist ethic cleansing/ genocide campaign.

I always enjoy your work John. I have shared the link on my Substack.
