Theory & Practice of Security Conference | Keynote: Dr. John Mearsheimer

John is my favorite geopolitical theorist/strategist. He is so enjoyable=entertaining to listen to.

This professor is why I have a strong interest in politics and international relations... I've learned so much from Professor John Mearsheimer about how states behave. Clear, concise, and above all, rather accurate. Many of his discussions are from years ago, up to a decade ago, and when looking at current affairs, everything of what he predicts is accurately predicted. Greatest political strategist and international relations expert of the day.

It’s so unfortunate that voices from realists are very much ignored by the current foreign affairs establishment. As America is done with its brief vacation from true geopolitics, it's just a matter of time before the American elites have to take another serious look at realist theory in IR, whether they like it or not. Decades from now people will say Mearsheimer was ahead of his time, although his theory has long historical stem from the past, throughout human history.

At least Georgetown has the courage to have a comments section! It is a pity that the State Department is full of folks who are not realists. They cause us massive damage and then retire on a pension.

Professor JM is a gift to humanity.

Mike Pompeo spelled out US/NATO foriegn global policies in his talk to an audience of neocons at the Hudson Institute. In short he explained that America must use its military might to own all the world's fossil fuel energy resources. Russia must not be allowed to dominate the global energy market, (its market share is about 25%) because the global energy resources must be wholly or in part owned by the Washington corporatocracy in order to facilitate the enrichment of US/NATO plutocrates through US global dominance,

I've stopped saying Uncle Sam and now say Uncle Sugar all because of Dr. Mearsheimer. XD
