  1. Merasheimer is not an analyst. He's a sophist and he tries to fit reality into his theory he uses to sell books. He's like one of the old astronomers who have to come up with more and more epicycles to explain the motions of our Solar System planets.

  2.  @ninak8370  Why should NATO fall apart because some non-nuclear and largely friendly former Russian conquered states left their forced alliance with Russia? Ignorant people such as you, should not post nonsense here but go back to school.

  3.  @StephanTrube  The threat lies also in that Ukraine was the rocket engine producer for Russia. Russians are struggling with their own rocket engines for their ICBMs.

  4.  @mitchyoung93  ?? Nordstream 1 and 2? You are ignorant, mate.

  5. 100%. And it's also the fact that GERMANY replaced nuclear and local coal with RUSSIAN GAS. Look at how Nordstream 1 and 2 are still not being dismantled. The Germans can't wait to return to business with Russia.

  6. Bla bla bla. I served, bla bla. Dude, you guys elected your new president and this is your how things are. Might makes right. Please don't think you Americans or anyone else are angels. You guys didn't even want the collapse of the USSR and you don't even want a Russian collapse. But you won't let us in Europe even have nuclear weapons as deterrence. You are gods, we are trash. Might makes right. When a raepist attacks your woman, remember that's also might makes right. That's how the world works. But don't worry about it, you have your huge country and enjoy it. Cut a deal with Putin so that China can eat your lunch in Asia. Maybe that will be a good thing. Then we'll see less Hollywood trash.

  7. The "EU" doesn't care. That's the thing. Social state is king.

  8. No darkness. The Americans will defend NATO. Hegseth told the Poles he'd love to put more American troops in Poland, something all the Democrats were reluctant to do. The Reps are only currently against NATO expansion to Ukraine but as long as Europe can keep the Russians out and China dominates Russia, one day US will be convinced to expand NATO. That's why voters in the US need to put pressure on MAGA, eg Polish voters, German ones, Italians etc. If Trump wants the ethnic European vote for Vance in 4 years time, he'll have to secure Europe and protect Ukraine from Russian aggression.

  10.  @ianshaver8954  Mearsheimer has a PhD. He's not stupid. He's just a b-ser. And people give him a free pass. Not bad info. He is pro big empire politics, except for USA, USA is No 1, rest is big powers >>> smaller.

  11.  @allo-other  Why not use the term worldview? Anyway Putin's process is rational, if you take Russia for an imperialist state which it always has been. It's just you Westerners who have been kissing Russian butt. Take the French. After the defeat of Napoleon the French experience of Russians is the temporary occupation where Russian officers paid hard currency for every chicken their soldiers looted. The French even picked up a term from the Russians, bistro. Putin is and was rational if you consider Russia an imperial state, he may just have been given bad info or did not predict the aid Ukraine would get.

  12. Nothing will happen Mr Puck. We've already seen Jake Sullivan be concerned about Russian nukes.

  13. No such thing as NEVER. Next administration may be more friendly to this. Or Europe may get its sh-t together.

  14.  @NotSoGood-765  Russia refused observers. UN observers were offered to observe the Donbas. Remember Russia said that Ukraine was abusing ethnic Russians in the Donbas.

  15.  @Grouse2275  It may and likely will come to a total nuclear war at some stage. Sooner or later that probability reaches a 1 given how that's a limiting factor.

  16. If only Germany did not feed Putin.

  17. Hegseth told the Polish left wing defense minister (he'd prefer the Law and Justice one) that he'd love to put more American troops in Poland. MAGA is open to European engagement but the Europeans (Spanish, Italians, Germans, Dutch, Portuguese, etc) have to put in the effort to the common defense. Same for Canada. Canada is also a parasite on the US. If we can all get +5% for defense, MAGA will put the same to common defense and together that will be more than enough against Russia.

  18.  @evgeniya7853  As long as we can keep the Russians out of Europe under Chinese domination, no. I hope China reclaims those territories robbed from them by Russian tsars. And China is becoming strronger. The average Chinese IQ is much higher than Russian one and there are more of them, they will totally take Russia one day. Evgeniya, your grandkids will speak Mandarin, and ONLY Mandarin. It will be like with the Mongols again but this time the Chinese are much kinder.

  19. MAGA doesn't think that NATO is galloping to Russian security. Russia is in dire straits because much of their rocketry was Ukrainian in origin. They're also f-ed. MAGA wants a bigger NATO. But Germany prefers to pay paternity leave and German workers want high salaries, so little is spent on European militaries. Europeans have to tighten the belt and put much more tax revenue toward the military.

  20.  @donhaddix3770  Then tell the Germans to dismantle Nordstream I and 2.

  21. The West was making business with Russia. German economic growth was based on Russia. Nordstream I and 2. Cheap hydrocarbons. Russian investments. Us former communist bloc countries are EU 2 and NATO 2 and we are trash for all Westerners, including the people here. That's just how life is. They chose Russia and Putin overplayed his cards. If he did not invade but continued to coerce and pressure Europe he would have ultimately won and remained Europe's darling. He lost his nerve and invaded. But even now the Germans and the Austrians would like nothing better to do than to return to the previous status quo with Russia. It's all about money.

  22.  @mitchyoung93  Mitch, pay reparations to your Native Americans and Black people. Pay Iraq the billions for killing so many of their people and then we'll talk you Russian troll.

  23.  @vladimirnovakovic3495  They spend more per capita than Germany I think on defense. What did you do Vlad?

  24.  @Lanedl1  Because you or your countries hold us in disdain. We are lower value humans to all of you. Racism is rife in the West.

  25.  @torbenalstrup3902  Yes Russia with all these oligarchs and imperial ambitions.

  26. Haha. My Danish friend and what? Sacrifice Poland, the Baltics and Finland for you? Get real mate. Europe has little to offer. There is no will to actually tighten the belt and put tax revenue towards the military.

  27.  @antonnurwald5700  Will never happen. Unless US surrenders to China. Russia is China's slave.

  28. Mearsheimer is a slimy snake. In a talk with Lex Friedman he says, Russia deserves her sphere of influence but China does not. Russia can have Ukraine but China must not have Taiwan because that will interfere with the US sphere of influence in China's backyard. He is a total hack and he contrives his points. He's a sophist. There is a debate with Bartosiak and Radek Sikorski one can also view and Mearsheimer is not a good analyst at all.

  29. LOL. With who? You do know that Germany can only make 50 Leopard 2s per year. How many years do you want to take to prepare against the Russians?

  30. If Russia uses a nuke on non-UK/non-US/non-France then it's doubtful any of these would use a nuke on Russia because they would not want to be nuked in return. That's why Poles and others want their own nuclear weapons and the Americans have said fsck you Poland, you can't have, you are lower humans than us, Brits and French,.
