Here's my conversation with John Mearsheimer, one of the most influential and controversial thinkers in the world on the topics of power, war, peace, and international relations. We discuss Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and the future of US as a superpower.
This episode will be challenging to some, as previous episodes have been to others. To emphasize what I say in the introduction: I will talk to everyone, on all sides, with compassion, with empathy, and with backbone. My goal is to do whatever small part I can to decrease the amount of suffering in the world by trying to reveal our common humanity. I will get attacked. I accept this. I love you all ❤
