I read Mearsheimer years ago when I was exploring the origins and dictates of geo-political realism. I found his theories then to be idiosyncratic and compelling. He has not aged well in the Trumpian environment. He is a defeatist and one dimensional thinker and writer who will lot budge from his long standing views. He is wrong and dangerous, and, as is evident by the criticisms he’s received in the past several years, clearly out of step with the challenge of protecting democracy and liberty. To him, liberty is expendable.
