    This line of reasoning is inspired by a theory in international relations called “realism”, with Mearsheimer, Mordhaus, etc. as their core theorists.

    It states that the world is divided by superpowers, fighting for power constantly, with all other countries being mere poker chips for them to divide amongst themselves. What countries or people in them want is largely irrelevant.

      my line of reasoning is inspired by marxist dialetical materialism. i’m slightly aware of mersheimer though and he seems to put out good analysis about the palestine thing.
