Do You Think We're in for a War?

We're always willing to hear another view even if we don't share it wouldn't you say yeah and simon gives a clue about mearsheimer when he says that he's a political scientist who uses military history examples nothing wrong with that um of course. We had someone commenting on previous podcast that actually political scientists weren't terribly good at predicting the outcome of conflicts in military historians seem to have far more of a handle on it well we'll see as as time goes on but of course we're not averse to hearing contrary views if we think they're well argued and well thought out  we also don't want to get in the habit of bringing endless amounts of bad news to listeners
