Thanks for posting this. I came away from those criticism thinking Mearsheimer's argument hadn't taken much damage, though I'm still not sure I agree. It is interesting that even the realist author doesn't frame NATO/EU expansion in the context of empire, but of liberal idealism.
It's a shame there isn't more IR discussion here. I'm actually pretty surprised by the low quality of the discourse.
Ditto. Have you checked out caspian report on youtube? I find him to be pretty biassed, but at least he's intelligible and fact-based on the actual economics and geostrategic stuff..
