Oh, Mearsheimer gets credit for the theory of Political Realism now?

Hardly, that was developed by Hans Morgenthau (a Jewish professor)at the University of Chicago in the 1940s published in his seminal work Politics Among Nations. I read it in college and it changed my thinking about international politics. Maybe Mearsheimer is actually just a frustrated academic with no original ideas so he latched onto antisemitism to gain fame.

All Mearsheimer did was add on some dubious assumptions to Morgenthau’s theories only to find that they do not work.
