Hey bro I liked the dialogue, but you really need to fix all the spelling and grammar mistakes. Use an LLM if you have to. It makes it hard to read!

Thanks for mentioning. It’s all arranged according to spoken language. I thought native speakers would understand it. I’ll run it again when I free.

Good dialogue. One question comes to mind, did the US really shove NATO expansion down the throat of Russia, or was the expansion partially as a result of action undertaken by former colonized countries of the USSR Warsaw Pact, and their desire to protect themselves from Russian irredentism?

Mearsheimer has always opposed US foreign policy, especially on its global hegemony. It’s obviously that your question like a normal western perspective. For US and its EU allies, NATO’s eastward expansion is preventing further Russia invasions. Russia, for its part, is reluctant to give up former Soviet Union territory.

Thank you for your response, I am familiar with Mearsheimer's perspective - read his articles and listened to his podcasts. Still the question remains what degree of NATO expansion was initiated by the US alleged coercion and how much by the individual countries? Could it be a little bit of both? Even in a podcast, one of John's colleagues pushed back with the very same question I am asking. Anyway I enjoyed reading your dialogue, will continue to do so.

Thanks Jeffrey!!! Yes, I understand what you ask, in my person opinion, I think we should observe Euro countries separately, and many European countries pursue strategy autonomy. We can see that from the military aid in Ukraine War.
