It's a few weeks old, so I'm not sure if it was posted previously, but I just saw it on another forum and thought it was too interesting not to share:

This interview with John Mearsheimer is interesting. It's unusual to hear such a clear eyed understanding of the world from someone who is ultimately in favor of Western hegemony.
I also thought it was interesting that even someone who's view on international relations was that the Ukraine war and Gaza genocide should stop because they're counterproductive when maintaining US hegemony is best achieved by concentrating our resources against China, still said that the Gaza genocide was also morally indefensible and that he couldn't vote for either major party candidate because he didn't support Trump but that genocide was a red line.
This "do whatever it takes to maintain Western power" guy has more moral fortitude than the majority of rank and file Democrats.
My final thought was damn, Germany sucks.
Throwing my #1 Dad mug in the garbage because I won't drink out of a lie.
Hopefully the next time they think about murdering someone they'll pause to consider this.
