slash setup. Good evening. It's Friday, April 4th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update.

He is professor of international relations and political science at the University of Chicago.

John Mearsheimer, Professor Mearsheimer really doesn't need an introduction, especially

for viewers of our show who have seen him on many times over the past

We have a whole range of topics to cover this evening, including the ongoing Israeli destruction

of Gaza, the decision by President Trump to restart President Biden's

bombing campaign in Yemen, the broader threats of Middle East War, what is going on in the

war in Ukraine, remember that, as well as the tariff policies that President Trump has announced

of what it might mean specifically,

geopolitically, for the U.S.-China relations.
