John Mearsheimer refuted? Don't Underestimate the China-Russia-Iran Axis | Niall Ferguson

Video Description

John Mearsheimer, speaking at CIS in 2023/24, argued that foolish U.S. policies, such as NATO expansion, has just pushed Russia closer to arch-rival China. In a multipolar world, the U.S. should recognise its limits to power and reorder strategic priorities away from Ukraine and Israel and focus more on Asia to deal with a far more important China threat. Niall Ferguson, addressing the 2024 CIS Consilium on the Gold Coast, disagrees: the U.S. failed to deter an expansionist Putin, and the U.S. and its allies, such as Australia, face an axis of China, Russia and Iran. If Washington wants to contain China effectively, the U.S. needs to keep in check Russia and Iran.
