A conversation


I recommend a conversation between 3 analysts about some objectives underlying the wars in Palestine and Ukraine.

1) John Mearsheimer is a prominent political scientist best known internationally for his theory of offensive realism, which describes the interaction between great powers as being primarily driven by the rational desire to achieve or maintain regional hegemony.

(2) Alexander Mercouris har proved himself an extraordinarily prescient expert on the Ukraine issue, for which he has taken a particular interest for a decade or so. His acumen and determination in finding relevant information is astounding.

(3) Glenn Diesen is a young professor of political science who has had the courage to contradict the mainstream narrative regarding the Ukraine war and has written several interesting books.

In their conversation they try to understand why Israel and the USA are making such grave strategic mistakes in Gaza. They try to predict that war’s outcome. In the second half of the conversation they compare the Palestine issue with the debacle of Ukraine. Here they do not entirely agree as Alexander has noticed a few worrying signs.
