War & International Politics
On 30 January 2024 , I gave a lecture at Notre Dame on “War and International Politics.” That talk was originally the Inaugural Richard K. Betts lecture at Columbia University, which I delivered on 16 November 2023. I am in the process of turning the talk into an article.
Below is a video of the Notre Dame talk and the subsequent Q&A period.
If it was moral to "contain" the USSR is it also moral to contain the USA? The claim that the USA is waging wars to turn other countries into democracies is so obviously false and frankly laughable.
Japan definitely said "I quit" before the two nuclear bombs.
