This is a perfect illustration of how US military industry is optimized for soaking up as much government funding as possible instead of producing reliable weapons that can be manufactured at scale.

    Just finished watching it and those predictions wrt to China/Russia/Iran/Syria cooperation are so on point I actually started laughing. Only problem is that apparently the USA politicians didn’t watch that one, so all his hopeful predictions for how the USA could avoid that didn’t manifest. Their loss lol.

      Mearsheimer understood what was happening in terms of geopolitics, and he tried to warn US politicians about it. Unfortunately, it’s clear that US is run by ideologues who silenced anybody who disagreed with them. Now we’re seeing the results of that.
