Ok. Here is one . He claims the ongoing situation in Ukraine since at least 2014 is the fault of the west and NATO expansion. He gives all the credit for putin’s actions on his neighbours to “aggressive western interference and influence in to Russia’s sphere of influence “. He doesn’t accept the blame lies equally if not fully on Russia’s draconian expansionist policies that are as old as the Mongolian empire. It doesn’t acknowledge that EX Soviet nations know what Russia is personally and what it means to be ruled by Russia. Hence after WW2, they have sought an alternative system to gain economic prosperity and military defence advantage that deters Russia from ever controlling them again. Take a look at the European countries that used to be in the soviet bloc and their growth, economic development and social prosperity since 1991.

🤔 not sure if that would be constructive or not. Mearshiemer is almost a pundit for Russia and China and will not change his mind despite being g factually incorrect on so many things.

@andrefalksmen1264 Also, Russia oil and gas industry is facing shutdowns. When everyone that has the knowledge and skills to service and maintain these refineries and facilities has left the country …. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@andrefalksmen1264 What does Russia have to offer that would encourage another country to become a part of the Russian Federation or follow in its economic, financial and political system? I can’t think of anything other than that it would make a handful of individuals in that country ridiculously rich while the civil rights and services and freedoms of the population are completely ignored and degraded.

@andrefalksmen1264 Well… under the rule of political figures that think like you, trump, Mearscheimer, Putin and many elites, we will end up in a world , ruled by 1 nation, one emperor. A non democratic vertical of power that will resemble North K.
