|
Date: November 18th, 2023 4:53 PM Author: coiffed sandwich What does he argue against re: Ukraine? I thought his point was that Russia was acting 1) in accordance with realist principles and 2) in response to US/NATO expansion, not that the US shouldn’t now involve itself.
And even though he says NATO’s eastward expansion led to the war, does he actually take the step to say NATO shouldn’t have expanded? He seems more descriptive than prescriptive whenever I see him speak. |

|
Date: November 18th, 2023 5:27 PM Author: coiffed sandwich He cites both those things to support his thesis that the Russian invasion is NATO’s fault, but isn’t that different than saying NATO was wrong to expand? In any event I don’t know how a realist goes about apportioning “blame” for a war without losing his realist status. Aren’t all countries operating under amoral, power maximizing calculations at all times?
Do you think NATO expanding eastward aligns with Mearsheimer’s theory of offensive realism or do you think NATO’s expansion shows the theory is wrong? |

Date: November 18th, 2023 6:36 PM Author: Razzle Address this is ridiculous, of course he is saying that NATO should not have expanded as it yields no benefit and starts a costly war that was entirely avoidable, no one has yet stated a single benefit of NATO expansion (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5446423&forum_id=2#47072255) |

Date: November 18th, 2023 5:30 PM Author: brass well-lubricated becky just read mearsheimer, he made his views very clear:
"The United States and its European allies now face a choice on Ukraine. They can continue their current policy, which will exacerbate hostilities with Russia and devastate Ukraine in the process—a scenario in which everyone would come out a loser. Or they can switch gears and work to create a prosperous but neutral Ukraine, one that does not threaten Russia and allows the West to repair its relations with Moscow. With that approach, all sides would win." |

A country is either sovereign or its not. Russia had already blocked NATO and likely EU succession with 2014 nonsense. The 2022 bullshit was not justified or good for either the rus or Ukraine.
Usual suspects upthread taking seeming pleasure in suffering is horrible. Russia will lose more from this war than Ukraine. Neither country can afford the demographic results of this war but Ukraine will be flooded with EU/US money for a long time to come which will help it bounce back.
