John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3 | Lex Fridman Podcast #401

17 Nov 2023 · 43 min

Transcript (Russian) of a Lex Fridman podcast interview with John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer presents offensive structural realism: in an anarchic international system states prioritize power (for survival); material sources of power are population and wealth which enable military capability. He contrasts structural realism with human-nature realism and defensive realism, critiques liberal theories (democratic peace, economic interdependence, institutions), and uses historical cases—China’s 'century of humiliation', Imperial/Nazi Germany and WWII decision-making, and Soviet resistance—to illustrate his arguments. The chunk concludes by introducing the contemporary question of why Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
