BREAKING: Russia’s Shock Move and the West’s New Reality | John Mearsheimer

Welcome to Prof John Mearsheimer Talks — your definitive source for realist geopolitical analysis grounded in the theory of offensive realism.

In this episode, we examine Russia’s latest shock move and why it exposes a new and uncomfortable reality for the West. This is not a discussion about headlines or battlefield tactics. It is an analysis of power, structure, and unintended consequences inside the global system.

Using the analytical framework developed by Professor John Mearsheimer, we break down:

Why Russia’s response follows rational great-power logic

How Western financial and geopolitical escalation reshapes global incentives

Why trust, not force, is the true foundation of American power

How the Ukraine conflict accelerates a shift toward a multipolar world order

Why sanctions and asset seizures may weaken the system they aim to defend
