John Mearsheimer errs on Ukraine.

Misapprehending the Mafia State, the criminal regime in Moscow explains Mearsheimer's errors on Russia. It's literally Hitler 2.0. Hitler faced a state split apart, humiliated, weakened, just like Russia in 1990. And Putin happens to speak German and to have been Rezident in Germany so yeah, he studied Hitler and is doing the same thing: pick off the small targets first, work your way up the ladder. Oh, and Nashiy? Yeah, it's Putin's Hitler Youth.

Ukraine will win and Putin's criminal co-conspirators will wind up in the docket for war crimes.

How Mearsheimer fails to see any of that, the reiteration of appeasement, the reiteration of Goebbels Big Lie theory in Russia today can only be explained by advancing years or Trotskyite crypto Marxism. This is all blindingly obvious so I have to point it out because indeed China is a much greater adversary than the corrupt, drunk, kleptocrtic USSR/RF ever dreamed of being.
