Talk:John Mearsheimer
Re: John Mearsheimer
As to Mearsheimer - he's put out 2 videos in the past 2 days, over 3 hours. I can't find for the life of me where (1) your views align with Mearsheimer, or (2) your claim to "Realism" align with Mearsheimer. RobSGive Peace a chance 16:41, December 2, 2022 (EST)
Previously, I wrote this statement which you agree with: "I still maintain that the Russia-Ukraine War has been a losing proposition for Russia, Ukraine, Europe, the USA and the world at large."
I also wrote previously: "Car accident courts and insurance companies when determining fault sometimes apportion the blame to multiple parties- like divvy up the blame for the cause of the incident to more than one party. I think this approach applies to the Russia-Ukraine War."
John Mearsheimer says the US/West unnecessarily provoked Russia and he mentions various ways. I agree with John Mearsheimer.
Also, when a matador waves a red cape in front of a bull, he provokes the bull to charge him.
Russians are smarter than bulls. Russia did not have to charge like a bull into the Russia-Ukraine War in 2022.
In various matters related to Russia and Russians we agree on many points. On the other hand, we obviously have some disagreements about Russia/Russians that we are likely not ever going to resolve. That is all I have to say on the matter. Conservative (talk) 21:48, December 2, 2022 (EST)
