Comments by "" (@RedXlV) on "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer" video.
You mean like when Mearsheimer said there was no way Putin would be stupid enough to invade Ukraine?

No, the tragedy is that too many listened to voices like Mearsheimer's.

@tatfly5779 Preparations for what?

You mean like how Mearsheimer insisted that Putin was too smart to invade Ukraine?

@МояЛепта The claim of '"territorial gifts" from Lenin is an utterly backwards lie. The reality is that Lenin stole Ukraine's territory. When Ukraine declared independence from the Russian Empire in 1917, not only Donbas and Crimea but also Kuban was part of its territory. When Lenin's Red Army conquered Ukraine in 1921 and forced them to join the USSR as the Ukrainian SSR, Crimea and Kuban were detached from Ukraine and added to the Russian SFSR. In 1954, Khrushchev returned Crimea to Ukraine. Yes, it was done without any referendum...because the USSR was a dictatorship. There was never any referendum in Ukraine about joining the USSR either. It was done at gunpoint.

Simple and clear, but 100% wrong. Mearsheimer is just an apologist for Russian fascism.

He said that Russia would never invade Ukraine, and you think he's a genius?

@Andrewf5251 Russia launched the exact invasion of Ukraine that Mearsheimer insisted they'd be too smart to do, and it's been a catastrophe for Russia.

@Andrewf5251 Are you kidding? Russia's forces have been so decimated that they're brining T-54 tanks out of retirement. And the claim that "Ukraine has lost most of the east" would only be true if Russia's claimed annexations actually correlated to Russian control.

@JL-ix5io Except that it hasn't been repelled and Ukraine is still recapturing territory. You're the one in a fantasy world. You refuse to accept that Russia could ever lose.

accordingtothesokovian "Barely won"? Zelenskyy got 73% of the vote in the 2019 election! You Russia shills live in a fantasy world.

You mean about Russia's desire to steal Ukraine's resources?

@ml6961 Are you actually so stupid that you think Ukraine attacked Russia?
