@professor_mearsheimer: Professor John Mearsheimer: how the Iran war is undermining America’s strategy to contain China. #USA #China #IranWar #USForeignPolicy #Geopolitics
Obama’s TPP would have hurt China way more than Trump’s tariffs or military presence.

Why are we “containing china” if they are not a threat and are just building a better future for themselves

think about it: pivot and pivot! there is nothing Americans can do about China whether to pivot or not. China will grow and continue to grow regardless of any action whether American is taken or not. talking is cheaper. America cannot force other countries to stop engaging with China especially the global South, The American military bases have been flattened by the Iranians.which proves Americans cannot protect against any middle power countries. let alone wage against the big sized one. to be smart, being Americans and should be staying in America, not the foolish ideas to pivot anywhere. cannot fight them then join them is evergreen strategy.

You mean containing communism which hasn’t worked and it’s now kicking capitalism’s ass. Marx was right and western imperialism must come to an end. Also as a Jew, we need to stop Israel, possibly dismantle it and create a single state - Palestine. Our people were living there before 1947. Let’s stop with the Zionism bs

US military never had an advantage in east Asia. Korean war and Vietnam war come to mind. US carriers would be committing suicide is they wanted to stay close to Chinese shores. Pivot is unrealistic.

Professor Mearsheimer, it be argued that the 9/11 attacks marked the failure of the U.S. policy of global prosperity initiated in the 1980s under Reagan, subsequently shifting the axis of American foreign policy toward the military sphere! This shift led to a sequence of wars that exponentially inflated the Pentagon's budget, deeply militarized the economy and technological innovation, and simultaneously privatized a significant portion of American security. Today, this dynamic is driving domestic political and economic instability within the United States—an instability further fueled by the geopolitical competition with China, which has emerged as a lethal economic competitor. This is internal and external instability an existential threat both to the United States themselves and to the rest of the world!
