The tragedy of John Mearsheimer

How the American realist became the world’s most hated thinker.

I appreciate the smear campaign you have attempted. One mistake in the timing doesn't negate his years of wisdom.

No one had understood the extent to which Ukraine had been armed and prepared for war. Likewise, at the time, no one had heard that call Putin made to Macron hours before the invasion protesting the western trashing of the Minsk agreements. At the time, no one really understood how desperate western politicians have been getting.

But he has been loudest voice saying the invasion would eventually happen. . . he only got the time and day wrong.

Mearsheimer "predictions" are usually wrong - and on most important issues.

He was wrong on Russian invasion
He was wrong on nuclear Germany
He was wrong on post-Soviet Europe
He was wrong on China's "Peaceful Rise"

The excuses come later by those fed by his fantasies.

First sentence in the piece;

"By the standards that govern contemporary international politics, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an unmistakable unilateral act of aggression."


. . . so, just like Hamas' attack on Israel, and Israel/US's attack on Iran?
