Glad you are getting more exposure. In a sane world you'd be Secretary of State, not warmongers like Blinken and Nuland. End the color revolutions and regime change operations: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-execute-a-color-revolution

With Scott Ritter as National Security Advisor... and having Blinken, Sullivan, Shelby, and Nuland in Spandau prison where all the Nazi War Criminals were incarcerated. Barring that, how about putting the in Gitmo? Along with Bush Jr., the Clintons, and all the other war mongers?

Our current president wasn't even elected. Why do you expect things to improve?

Our government is nothing more than a group of criminal syndicates vying for power. Our news media is nothing more than propaganda for this criminal syndicate.

❝Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world.

NATO – an anti-white and anti-family institution . . .

After the apocalypse of 1945, a number of global organizations have been formed with the aim of maintaining and expanding totalitarian liberalism. One of the earliest organizations formed for this purpose was the war alliance "North Atlantic Treaty Organization", or NATO, which can be seen as the military wing of globalism.

In addition to ensuring that Washington always has international support for its military campaigns, NATO as an institution is explicitly anti-white and explicitly dedicated to "racial justice" for racial aliens living in white countries. As early as 1999, NATO authored reports blaming nationalists for a number of modern problems and warning against the influence of nationalism.

In 2023, the war alliance held a summit at its headquarters in Brussels on race where the alliance's leaders pledged to fight "homogeneous attitudes" and to use NATO's "collective intelligence" for the purpose.

In fact, NATO is so dedicated to its anti-white agenda that it openly advocates that institutions must be reshaped to be "inclusive," in other words, restructured to be more anti-white, and consist of fewer white employees and executives.

❝. . . the entire establishment in the Western world is attacking Russia in unison. The propaganda machine is in full swing in an effort to make the whole world hate Putin and take Ukraine’s side in the war. The same propaganda machine that wants nothing more than you as a White person to stop having children and instead focus on your career, race-mix or become homosexual. What this establishment wants you to think is often a very good indicator of what you should absolutely not think, and by this measure, Russia appears to be the side to support 100%.

From a global geopolitical perspective, if we theorize from the unlikely idea that this conflict will lead to a third world war, then all pro-Zionist liberal monster-nations like Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States and, of course, Israel itself would side with Ukraine, while more traditional and sovereign anti-Zionist forces would likely stand behind Russia. Mark my words when I say that the Nordic Resistance Movement will NEVER stand on the same side as Israel or the Zionist entity that the USA represents today – whatever the issue or conflict may be!

If we look at the situation from a revolutionary point of view, it is also natural to support Russia. By challenging the USA and the Western world, one acts against the status quo – the present situation that must be destroyed in order for any true changes to take place, and for us National Socialists to be able to make real progress. The more the current ruling powers are challenged, and the harder the world economy is combated, the greater the chance for widespread disruption, which is a necessity for the Nordic revolution to become fact. Please note that I do not mean the coming changes will necessarily be better for us; however, in the dramatic situation in which we find ourselves, we must see hope in every potential radical change that arises within the global environment.❞

I listened to the Duran interview. Just an excellent, intelligent discussion on the topic.

When I listen to our Western media I see nothing but Ukrainian propaganda and far too many people are gulping it down....

Happy to see you getting more exposure. I’ve been reading your and Stephen Walt’s writings for quite some time now. I’m fascinated just how easy you make it seem to look at the geopolitics in such a rational and objective way, and able to convey your knowledge to people outside of the academia.

I wish that our politicians reached out to you more for advice or even just perspective.

Glenn and Alexander do an excellent job getting the right people on. The Duran has kept me relatively sane since the SMO began! This exchange was very thought-provoking because you bring your expertises from different disciplines to bear on the real issues at hand. Many people need to get a grip on the difference and value of amoral realism. Enough with the personal moral outrage built on lies, reductive and ignorant thinking, and manipulation of history and objective (yes, I wrote that) reality. Even the surrealists knew the difference!

Professor Mearsheimer, I am a paid subscriber to your Substack. I have been following you since 2/24/2022, and agree with you 100%. I do think Biden thought Ukraine would only last a few weeks, and his extraordinary round of trips to EU allies to rally them in support of an unprecedented boycott of Russian Federation was intended to strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position, not mobilize to provide all the NATO munitions to a forever war. But it's been "in for a penny, in for a pound," after Russia's military performed so badly in the battle for Kiev, and Ukraine's soldiers fought so unexpectedly well and not-so-unexpectedly couragously. And now we are stuck. Biden might have sense enough to know that negotiations are in order now, or he may not, but if he were to push Zelenky to negotiate against his will it would doom his re-election. My question is - has Russia a chance to win this war of attrition, or will it come down to World War III before the US will allow Ukraine to be annexed by Russia?

Great discussions, John, but in the second one I was disappointed to discover you seem to put credence into the lie about climate change and an environmental emergency.

Russia's government is a vicious brutal kleptocracy which regularly murders journalists and dissidents, where everyone is on the take, and everyone lies. It is walking in Hitler's foot-steps, and Ukraine is just one more in the series of wars Putin hoped to wage to restore Catharina the Great's empire (which included Finland and half of Poland). Lacking any international support he could not wipe out smaller countries (Chechnya, then georgia, then Syria, then Crimea, then Donbas, then all Ukraine) nearly as fast or as effectively as Hitler whom Putin clearly studied in detail. His effort to recreat the Hitler youth (nashiy) is not lost on some of us nor his use of the exact same methods, the big lie, propaganda, and war after war. He is very smart when he scapegoats Jews, which he or more usually his proxies do all the time. Cleverer than Hitler but also a genocidal war criminal, just look at Syria and Ukraine.

Mr. Mearsheimer, you ask at the end why the U.S. has pursued this policy of bringing Ukraine into NATO so relentlessly and recklessly? You cannot discuss any of this meaningful without observing the elephant in the room: energy. Germany went to war with Russia, in part because of Hitler's bizarre concept of "lebensraum" and his vehement anti-communism, but he had the support of Germany's military and industrial leaders, because everyone in Germany knew that Germany needed Russian oil and gas to fuel the German economy. Britain and the U.S. controlled the seas, the French North Africa, and the Dutch the oil reserves in Malaysia and Indonesia. The only place to acquire the energy to fuel any further German industrial growth was to be found in East Europe. So Germany's energy needs have been at the center of European politics for the past 100 years. Such remains the case today.

The fear, for some years, of the U.S. policy-makers has been the loss of their European vassals (and the loss of the investments of the elite in Western Europe). The U.S. deliberately provoked the war in Ukraine in order to sever Russia's growing economic connections with Western Europe and Western Europe (especially Germany's) dependence upon Russian oil and gas. It is telling that the first reaction of the U.S. to the outbreak of hostilities was the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline: a project in the interests of both Russia and Germany that the U.S. complained about for years.

Of course, it is all related you see. One cannot also understand the endless media propaganda about "global warming" and the need to move Europe especially away from "carbon" without understanding that the primary purpose of this propaganda is to reduce European desire for Russian, Iranian, Venezuelan, and Saudi gas and oil. Impoverishing Europe is the only way to keep Europe attache subject to the will of the Western oligarchy and American hegemony, so convincing the Europeans to impoverish themselves via green propaganda is better than having them depend upon Russian or Iranian oil and gas. All the Blinkens, Soros's, Gates's, von der Leyden's, and Rothschilds would lose control of their fiefdoms, and the little neo-cons of Washington would have no more empire to play with.

Whatever the case, the next time you speak on the subject, I think it would be helpful to your audience's understanding of the situation to explain the energy situation and the general lack of oil and gas reserves in Western Europe. This will also explain you to explain why the West and the U.S. will not backdown or try to negotiate their way out of the Ukranian mess. To do so would open the door to German-Russian bilateral trade and the destruction of both the EU and NATO.
