Reminder that Mearsheimer is one of the main Western pro-russian frauds that promotes the whole "Realpolitik/Multipolarism" slopaganda agenda. These people really think that repeating & rehashing the same subversive illiberal nonsense, over and over again, is really gonna change anything about history, objective reality, and the truth about the conflict – they're not, and Ukrainians, NAFO, & other supporters of Ukraine will fight all this garbage and propaganda forever. Here are some very wise words by Volodymyr Yermolenko that perfectly summarize the major flaws of Realpolitik/Multipolarist narratives: "The problem with much of the Western realpolitik analysis that accuses Ukrainians of being naïve, idealistic, and unrealistic is that it is itself profoundly naïve and unrealistic. It assumes that “realism” means cynicism: abandoning values and seeking compromises with Russia. Yet this is precisely the approach that has repeatedly proved naïve, unrealistic, and ultimately self-defeating, because it has only encouraged further Russian aggression. Time and again, it has been the supposedly “naïve idealists” — the Ukrainians — who have been right. They warned that Russia’s war against Georgia in 2008 was only a prelude. They argued that the annexation of Crimea in 2014 would inevitably lead to a much larger war. They insisted that Russia is far more vulnerable and weaker than many in the West assumed, that it has numerous pressure points, and that it can be defeated. They also argued that increasing the sense of discomfort within Russia itself would undermine the imperial myth of “stability through expansion” on which Putinism depends. Yet despite the fact that these Ukrainian assessments have repeatedly been vindicated by events, this pseudo-realpolitik mindset continues to dominate many Western policy circles. It is not realism at all. It is naïve infantilism." — Volodymyr Yermolenko (Ukrainian philosopher & journalist, chief editor at UkraineWorld)
