Listen to this podcast or read the book but don't ignore it! With insight worthy of Machiavelli's "The Prince", John Mearsheimer exposes the truth behind what's going on right now in Ukraine and between the United States and China.
"What was avoidable was the speed and extent of China’s extraordinary rise. Had U.S. policymakers during the unipolar moment thought in terms of balance-of-power politics, they would have tried to slow Chinese growth and maximize the power gap between Beijing and Washington. But once China grew wealthy, a U.S.-Chinese cold war was inevitable. Engagement may have been the worst strategic blunder any country has made in recent history: there is no comparable example of a great power actively fostering the rise of a peer competitor. And it is now too late to do much about it."
