Havent watched this but i would be wary of Mearsheimer, the “realist” analisis might seem similar to marxism at times but it is not marxism.
Here is an article analyzing the shortcomings of his “realist” lenses, and ends up with the same conclusions as any run of the mill conspiracy theorist (jews control the world): https://gowans.blog/2024/05/21/the-israel-lobby-and-us-foreign-policy-a-realistic-marxist-view-vs-mearsheimers-realist-view/
I think the descriptive analysis of Mearsheimer (how nation states interact with each other) is pretty good, but I don’t often agree with his prescriptive analysis, which is mostly to maintain US hegemony (but in a more peaceful manner than the liberal foreign policy currently is).
