Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "How the war in Ukraine will end | John Mearsheimer and Lex Fridman" video.

I can 1/2 agree with that but Mearsheimer has also been typical of his Libertarian roots in the entire Ukraine discussion in that he blames American Liberal hegemony. He gave a great lecture at Yale a few years ago explaining that issue. I highly recommend it. He's been right (as many others have pointed out) about America & NATO going too far and putting pressure on Russia in a way that was always going to blow back. Mearsheimer's also been totally bat crap bonkers off the wall crazy about letting Putin have what he wants. Peter Zeihan (during an interview with Jordan Harbinger) ripped Mearsheimer to shreds on this issue. Mearsheimer ignores the point that Putin has said he wants to write the security policy for 18 countries on the border of Russia or close to. Those countries have almost 280 million people and Mearsheimer says "Let Putin have them" and they get no say in the matter. Just as Mearsheimer says the fault of American Liberals is that they can't help themselves when the interfere in countries and try to remake them as Liberal Democracies because its hardwired into them. Mearsheimer also betrays the great weakness of American Libertarianism which is they are opportunistic narcissists. If they want something they take it and don't care what happens or what the consequences are. If they don't want something they wont care about what happens or what the consequences are. In simplest terms American libertarians are about what they want and f*ck everyone else. And Mearsheimer gives that away - let Putin have what he wants because I don't care what happens.

@doofyler Exactly - I sum Libertarians up in the simple statement: "I demand the Liberty to strip other people of their liberty."

@slayerhuh404 ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THIS IGNORANT OF REALITY. What has Russia done? Where do you want to start and so we are fare YES America and the West are just as guilty of these sorts of things. But here's some things on Russia. HOW ABOUT smashing the SHlT out of Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1988. Why don't go and try and tell you nonsense to the East Germans, Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and a few other places. HOW ABOUT all the dirty little wars they started or fermented in Africa, Asia, South America,....... HOW ABOUT the rape of the Southern Pacific Ocean fisheries all through the cold war era. HOW ABOUT there interference in fomenting and supporting dirty little shitfests across the Middle East. HOW ABOUT the gigantic flood of small arms across the 3rd world. Of all the WMDs that have ever been made nothing has killed more people than the AK47 and your friendly Russians dumped them everywhere they could often selling to both sides. And so we are 100% SURE YES America and its allies did and still do the same shitty things Russia has done and still does. And lets not leave out the Chinese of that crap either.
