An interview with Professor John Mearsheimer that I highly recommend to the Community

Uncategorized 1 Minute

As readers of my website know very well, I very rarely use this platform to promote articles or podcasts of others. Today I make an exception and strongly urge the Community to watch the interview with Professor John Mearsheimer conducted by Judge Andrew Napolitano on Judging Freedom in the past hour. Watch to the very end, please, since the discussion goes beyond analysis of Trump’s desperate self-inflicted situation or of the chances of success of the land invasion of Iran that Trump is now threatening. It goes where others fear to tread: here Mearsheimer speaks of the absolute silence of America’s liberal minded professoriate with respect to the US-enabled genocide that Israel has been conducting in Gaza, to their absolute silence about the gross violation of international law that the United States has committed in its savage war of aggression on Iran that it did not even bother to justify by reference to some real or imagined provocation.

I salute Professor Mearsheimer for courageously pronouncing what I have been thinking for some time but hesitated to say publicly: namely that if a Nuremberg style tribunal were to be conducted to hear the case of the foregoing offenses of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, both would be sentenced to death by hanging.

Bravo!

Gilbert Doctorow's latest book, "War Diaries. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023" is a unique contribution to literature on the war thanks to the author's reports on the Russian home front written during his periodic visits to St Petersburg at a time when Russia no longer issued visas and nearly all Western journalists had left the country. Doctorow's two-volume "Memoirs of a Russianist" published in 2020 also constitutes a category of its own, consisting largely of diary entries rather than reminiscences written decades later.. Volume 2 focuses on the community of 50,000 expatriate managers working and living in Moscow during the 1990s, about which none of his peers has yet to write. Gilbert Doctorow is a professional Russia watcher and actor in Russian affairs going back to 1965. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1967), a past Fulbright scholar, and holder of a Ph.D. with honors in history from Columbia University (1975). After completing his studies, Mr. Doctorow pursued a business career focused on the USSR and Eastern Europe. For twenty-five years he worked for US and European multinationals in marketing and general management with regional responsibility. From 1998-2002, Doctorow served as the Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow. During the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Visiting scholar of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University. Mr. Doctorow is a long-time resident of Brussels.

  1. I have watched this contribution by Prof. Mearsheimer, and agree with your statement with regards to the absence of the so called “intelligentsia” or liberal elites the USA, and especially pointing to the consequences of such actions some 80 years ago. I however missed a reference to the cowardice of Uk and EU politicians to call out the blatant illegality of the Israel/US actions in Gaza and Iran, a cowardice that finds it expression in refusing to act in concert with the USA, but shies away from clearly and unambiguously condemning such illegality.
