SLIPPERY SLOPE TO OBLIVION: Mearsheimer DIRE WARNING On Russia/Ukraine

Putin could end the war tomorrow. Just stop killing people and leave Ukraine.

Mearsheimer never acknowledges the hundreds of thousands of Russian war dead. The cost to their economy. Does anyone really think as he says here that what Russians ‘almost to a person’ strongly feel is how disrespected Russian red line is? Delusional. They are aghast at the war cost and the fact that the war came home to them. He always treats Ukrainians as unthinking idiots that have no agency but to take orders from the west and send their kids to die. His famous line used to be that ‘NATO is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian’. I don’t dismiss him but his Ukrain analysis is off

I'm proud of this comment section.

This guy is clueless. Russia invaded Ukraine and is bombing and killing civilians. The war would end tomorrow if Russia pulled out of Ukraine.

“The Russians are winning but at the same time loosing enough to need to use nuclear weapons ? Great argument

It's never been clear to me, and BP never pushes Mearsheimer on this, why Russia nuking Warsaw Krakow Kyiv Lviv and Budapest would make the Europeans surrender

So the aggressor who still occupies the country they invaded needs to be respected? Nah, they started this, if Russia goes back to the pre invasion borders then let's talk. Putin shouldn't get to keep what he stole, and if he does he needs to pay a price for that.

Putin still actually gives AF about Russian posturing and Cold War red lines... but the Cold War is over. Using nukes is still crossing a red line and would just isolate and degrade the Russian state even more.They need to let the Russian Empire fantasy f'ing go.😒

13:17 between this guy starting this conversation calling Russia, “mother Russia” and this bullshit about attacking NATO or using Nukes, I really wonder what this guy’s motives are.

These comments restored my faith in humanity.
