Prof. John Mearsheimer: Great fear in the US that China will be the world-s most powerful country

On this episode of New Order, we speak to John Mearsheimer, professor of international relations at the University of Chicago and the Host of the ‘Offensive Realism’ podcast. He discusses why he believes the UN has been irrelevant in international relations, the likelihood of UN Security Council reform to include members such as India, Japan, Brazil, Nigeria, and others, President Trump’s view that any criticism of Israel is criticism of the US, how the US poisoned relations with India in 2025 and New Delhi walking on a fine line between the US and BRICS, India’s growing economic relations with China in contrast to New Delhi’s view that China is the principal threat to India, his view on the renewed conflict between Yemen’s Houthis and Saudi Arabia and reports that Trump advised Saudi Arabia to strike a Houthi-controlled airport, the US failing to defeat the Houthis, Russia’s escalating bombing campaign against Ukraine after reported backlash in the Russian elite against Vladimir Putin for not waging the war vigorously enough, and much more.
