Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "John Mearsheimer advice to Lex Fridman about interviewing Putin" video.

  1. Lex interviewed Professor Kotkin who said and I quote, "We must remember that under international law that was signed by Moscow, all the treaties say that sovereign countries get to choose what alliances sovereign countries belong to. Treaties like the UN Charter was signed by Russia. The 1975 Helsinki agreement was signed by the Soviet Union. The 1990 Charter of Paris for a new Europe was also signed by the Soviet Union. The 1997 NATO Russia Founding Act was equally signed by the Russian Government. All those documents were signed by either the Soviet Regime or the Russian regime, which is the legally recognized international inheritor i.e., successor of the Soviet State. The fact is those agreements are still in place and they clearly state that sovereign countries can freely choose their foreign policy and what alliances they want to join. For the President of Russia to warn western nations not to help the Ukrainians defend themselves is pure hypocrisy and insulting to the free world writ large." In all respect to John Mearsheimer, from experts like Peter Zeihan, Putin's goal is to re-establish the former Russian Empire. So; Ukraine is just the first tea biscuit he's going to gulp down on his way to the Baltic Sea...
