USA and other NATO nations created an untenable Ukraine by dangling EU and NATO membership. They did this knowing this would anger and provoke Russia.
Mearsheimer who is an expert on Russia and Soviet Union history is demanding the West stay out of Ukraine and that Ukraine should be a neutral nation like Switzerland.
Ukraine should be a neutral nation like Switzerland.
This will not work, Russia will consider neutrality as a weakness and will try to take over. This happened to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia before WWII.
reply
Russia has invaded Ukraine because it is not neutral. Mearsheimer warned everyone in 2015.
reply
No, it invaded because their backed corrupt politicians lost their power.
reply
Color revolution or coup
USA and Europe supported the coup
reply
It was revolution, because it had popular support. Coup is when small group of people take over without popular support, like bolsheviks did in Russia in 1917.
reply
A revolution that was provoked by EU and USA
Zelensky has not been topped because of aid from USA. Once money stops flowing he will be deposed via coup or revolution.
Many people are leaving Ukraine. Not a revolution but abandonment. Men are leaving because they don’t want to fight or die.
Without men Ukraine will lose regardless of money and military aid from USA
What was the reason for revolution?
EU and NATO membership
Russia will never accept Ukraine nation backed by western great powers
Here you see “propaganda” in action, @TomK!
reply
Wrong again @oliverweiss
You clearly have no knowledge about the history of NATO and Russia and Ukraine
Mearsheimer is an expert on the former Soviet Union. His YouTube lecture from 2015 has 30 million views
His view is not propaganda. He opposed NATO enlargement in the 1990s and today
