This guy is so stuck in the cold war era and american exceptionalism that it hurts my head every time he's trotted out. The guy still literally believes that US and Russia are still in a cold war and Europe should be divided up between them and gently caress whatever individual Euro countres want.

Well yeah, Putin expected that invaders will be greeted with flowers etc. Anyway, I am not gonna listen to Mearsheimer's repetitive apologia because he can get hosed

Ain't this the guy who keeps saying America basically forced Russia to escalate by being mean bullies and ignoring the years of the Obama admin de-escalating exactly as he said they should?

Bush didn't want the war, Saddam refused to be reasonable and hand over his nukes, there was no other choice

Putin tried every diplomatic option to avoid the war, such as issuing insane ultimatum to remove NATO from all of Eastern Europe or invading Donbas and Crimea

Apparently, IR academics really dislike Mearsheimer because he just won't shut up and gets all the interviews. Which is why when you meet someone who does IR, you have to push Mearsheimer into their face and tell them: "This is *your* inane ideology."

When you think about it its all Ukraine's fault really - why can't they just lay down and die? Doing so would be so much better for my magnum opus theory.

He is technically not wrong in that Putin didn't want a war; he wanted to walk into Kyiv, be hailed as a liberator from the evil EuroNATO-homo-nazis, proclaim his new multi-polar world order, and be written into the history books as a neo-Tsar. Instead, well…
