John Meersheimer's thesis is based on Meersheimer's belief that 'Putin never lied prior to the way <edit>war not way</edit>'. Not really stable foundation to build his thesis on.
- theironhammer 4y agoHis thesis is based on Spheres of Influence. That's RealPolitik not D2P.
- ROTMetro 4y agoFunny, if you go watch the youtube videos he predicates his talk on 'Putien never lied'. I'm just going off of his public speeches on youtube, but maybe that contradict his other works.
- deepthunder 4y agoYou got to be kidding me? This is your takeaway? He's known as a Realist IR Scholar. One of the core tenants of Realist IR is the concept of Sphere's of Influence. Next you'll be telling me Biden is Left Wing.
- ROTMetro 4y agoIf you build your premise on a liar never lied then yes, my takeaway is to stop listening to you.
