I'm repeating myself, but if you prefer to hear it from Mearsheimer's mouth, here I'll get you the transcript:

ah, see, yes, i much prefer to hear it from his mouth, thats a very good fucking argument! much more understandable than all the dance hahahaha

what he says there makes a lot of sense. i can't tell if it's all true because i just read it and cannot check his facts about negotiations etc, but it makes a lot of fucking sense, in a formal way. and yes that is the "2nd hitler" story i "know" about putin, etc. and mearsheimer makes a coherent and sane argument against that, so now i'm interested

thanks for putting it in plain form. if all this is true then biden was stupider than we thought--or maybe it was just the institutional logic of the professional bureaucracies he delegated the work to, as mearsheimer and sachs claim in the other video

i mean: if mearsheimer is 100% right, then biden had no control, so the usa having responsibility can still apply, but your statement that "biden had control" is something else. according to mearsheimer it doesn't matter who is president. the piece you quoted says " george bush ADMINISTRATION" but then says "biden". in the logic of his discourse however it's just shorthand for "biden administration" (buster keaton [jake sullivan lookalike] blinken and the others including victoria nuland whom sachs mentions)

this makes sense to me because i was impressed with biden delegating to the professionals instead of having a circus. but mearsheimer says no, actually it's the professionals who are the problem. THAT THERE IS THE CRUX

i'm curious about the role of the british too (sir humphrey appleby likely was involved if the above is true), and in the other video he mentions i think the french...

very interesting stuff

i'll look at this other one later, thanks
