Friedman is an imperialist, no doubt. I understand him to be to provide a note of caution when dealing with a country that has 1200 nuclear weapons targeted at the US. In essence, I understand him to be saying, Let's be smarter imperialists when advancing US "interests." And of course he would deny he is cheerleading for the US by saying his beginning presupposition is that the US is and will remain the world's per-eminent power. Nevertheless, there is this bluntness about him that I find refreshing, which begs Paul's question
as to why is he so garrulous?
Mearsheimer on the other hand says the US blew it in Europe. Poppycock. Europe's weakness is so far a raging success.
EDIT: I have his predictions for the next ten years. He predicts there will be increased terrorism in Russia's underbelly. I wonder how he knows that besides getting tips on the future direction of ISIS-like iterations of CIA controlled Islamist extremists.
