I rarely find anybody else commenting here. Your essays are remarkable. And you write so many of them. I don't even know who you are. As far as those alternative media sources that tell "the other side," I would like to mention Russian officials and officials of other countries such as Orban of Hungary, who are very important sources. We are talking about Lavrov, and also about the woman Russian spokesperson whom you all know, but whose name escapes me at the moment. Then, as you mention, Mearsheimer, but more importantly, Jeffrey Sachs, and I mention Sachs, because in contrast to Mearsheimer, Sachs does not single out China as "the real bad nation," but recognizes that China will play an important role in the future, if there is a future, of course. Mearsheimer thinks China is a threat of some kind, or at least that is what I take away from his output. He's an interesting analyst, but taking apart his analysis, it is somewhat simplistic and superficial. Sachs is better. I listen to Christophorou and Duran. I like Chas Freeman. There's a new woman from Poland on the scene, and her interviews can be quite good, as well as her own remarks. In essence, there are a lot of good commentators out there, but the question is, what can be done. What should be done. What action should be taken, etc.
