John Mearsheimer: Russian Restraint, Ukraine War & Why Western Narratives Are FailingProfessor John Mearsheimer examines the Ukraine war, Russian military strategy, NATO's growing involvement, and the risks of escalation between Russia and the West. He argues that Western narratives about Russian losses often overlook the realities of a prolonged war of attrition while discussing how continued Western support for Ukraine could increase the risk of direct confrontation. The discussion also explores U.S. grand strategy, Iran, the limits of American military power, manufacturing decline, and the emergence of a multipolar world. Watch this in-depth geopolitical analysis of great power competition, foreign policy, and the future of global security.#JohnMearsheimer #UkraineWar #Russia #NATO #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump #Iran #USPolitics #MultipolarWorld #InternationalRelations #WarAnalysis #MilitaryStrategy #GlobalSecurity #WorldNews
