Geopolitics is not driven by what is "OK" from an objective perspective. Each nation state looks after it's own interest. This should be fairly obvious to any observer.
Precisely. Your reflection of the world is a reflection of who you are. Says a lot about our leaders in the West. Our leaders a children of the Golden Age of the West, growing up with the world looking up to them. Despite everything they’ve done, many of our leaders have gone unpunished for their crimes. If children who are never punished become spoiled brats and selfish adults, I wonder what that would make grown adults who’ve never been punished for decades.
U.S. bases and troops in East Asia cannot deter North Korea, the "island chain" troops can deter China? Where is the sense and logic in that? It is complete nonsense.
Ask this question to so-called scholars: How many American lives will they risk to defend Taiwan in reality? Not in theory. China can always risk more.
risk my ass, even US sends its army on the island, we Chinese still can beat the shit out of it. Please don't talk like US can win a war around China as far as it can take more so-called "risks".
History and civilization did not start only in the 18th Century. Learn Historical facts and different cultures seriously. How long will Anglo-Saxon mainstream media and politicians be able to exploit the ignorance of their audience and supporters respectively ?
JM’s is unapologetic imperialist and US empire cheerleader. His views in regard to China are narrow-minded, hubristic and delusional. No amount of smearing, interference and provocation by the US could stop China’s advance and development. This is not the 19th or 20th century, US hegemony is going down. The US would continue to be an influential country, but so will other rising countries, chiefly China, Russia and India. The US empire would be wise to accept the reality of the multi-polar world order, adapt and adjust. Taiwan is part of China. Get out! It’s none of your f****** business.
JM is all about realism, Johns not cheerleading but merely telling what is. nevertheless, if there is world hegemon, sure he would like it to be the US.
Realism is such a self fulfilling prophecy. The same way that China did everything it could to not only learn from the West, but to also safeguard itself from what it saw happen to other nations including the USSR and the Middle East. The US would benefit a lot from learning from China. We do not have all the answers. Realism will end this world, 4.5 billion years of evolution gone, and we only have about less than a billion years left before it expands to a Giant Red Sun. God knows how many million years or if ever if intelligent civilizations will resurface if we blow up this whole world.
China & Russia Navy near alaska is in "response" to usa, germany, Netherlands Navy ships in south china sea & taiwan strait. don't instigate if you don't like the response ! the future concludes to one thing "energy" who ever achieve abundant lowest cost energy wins. obviously China
China strategic is economic. China is the largest trading partner of All the countries listed as “partners” in Asia, - including India. China operates differently than Western countries. Historical and present, Chinese consumers goods and market have been the draw for foreign countries. Asia is not a place for military hegemony. The current policy of the US to stop China instead of competing will lead to China dominating Asia and the rest of the world.
Deindustrialization by the developed world was due to developed world corporates choosing to outsource production to countries with cheaper labour so as to maximize profits for shareholders. This has benefited business owners in the developed world, but hallowed out manufacturing. The export model was encouraged by rich multinational corporates. His logic is faulty.
He advocates potential war with China just to keep American industries at home. What ever happened to laissez-fair economics, which America has championed for so long?
I chuckled when Colby said US should act with "focus" to preserve its hegemony in Asia because he failed to explain how to overcome the fact vast majority of Asian countries have no interests in dying for the American Empire. People everywhere cares primarily for their own security and prosperity, and if the Beltway Blob makes them less well off than what Zhongnanhai offers, then they will turn their backs on the Imperium; which is what has happened in recent years.
The overriding theme appears to be that everyone wants independence of policy. Which he appears to support for everyone except countries that are currently under US hegemonic control.
So you are saying use Indias manpower in WW3 against China and the Muslims like Democrats used Soviet Unions in ww2 against Germany So USA wouldn't have to risk.and lose much
Never count chickens before it hatches. Rethoric more like selfish interest in controlling the world where no one should be better or equal position. That's the problem with US having this type of guy having this type of mentality.
I think this is actually a good idea, maybe the only good way forward for America, and like Colby said it's basically what the British strategy was in Europe for centuries, against honestly much more powerful countries than it was... and you guys can tell me how effective you think that strategy ended up being for them :)
Two inarticulate so-called experts. I hope you, like, know what I mean. If you want to hear knowledgeable and well-spoken conservative views, listen to or read someone like George Will.
The argument that China should not be allowed to dominate South East Asia is based on the assumption that that China wants to dominate South East Asia the same way as America dominates other countries using military force. This may be an incorrect assumption. China’s dominance rests on trade, business, economics and technology selling to south east Asia products the Asians wants at low prices. China has not invaded a single country in the last 40 years and the conflicts in the South China Sea is a reaction at being encircled by American bases in South Korea, Japan, Phillipines and Guam. America can re-industriallise but the the south East Asian market is unlikely to buy American products because it will be too expensive. Countries in the West , Europe, Australia and New Zealand will be the best markets for products from a re industrialised America. I can’t see the people in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan and the central Asian republics with a much lower per capita income able to afford American made products. The people of China will buy their own locally made products.
There is NO connection between "regional hegemony" and "roaming". None whatsoever. Mearsheimer is wrong on that. Hello, can anyone hear me? Your theory is BS. North Korea is sending 10 000 troops to Kursk. U.S. military and bases in East Asia detered NOTHING with North Korea. North Korea is NOT a regional hegemon. North Korean troops ARE roaming in Kursk. Hello? Anybody home? Anyone at all? Hopeless man.
Clueless of China mindset ... China was the greatest civilization for thousands of yrs... they never had colonization ambition but focus more on trade....hence the Silk Road started
Why is it ok for the US to be a regional hegemon, but not for China? Argument doesn’t make sense
typical western double standard....in values, human rights, etc.

Mexico had the 12th largest GDP in 2023 and 2024. And these two are educating, are they just lazy.
Americans just wanted to fester antagonism among neighbors, they have no shared interests in Asia.

Listening to guys like this gives me a strong conviction that the US is heading for a major whooping.
