Anne Applebaum equal disinformation!

This is propaganda. Pure and simple. It’s v painful to listen to. I think I’ll stick with John Mearsheimer.

[@MKS700-vv3tt]

Mearsheimer??? LOL. Mearsheimer deliberately ignores Russia's long history of persecuting Ukraine and how Russia broke it's 1994 friendship agreement with Ukraine called the Budapest Memorandum. In that agreement, Ukraine was kind enough to give up all it's nukes to Russia (which Russia desperately wanted) in exchange for Russia never invading Ukraine. Well, we see how that turned out.

Mearsheimer could not care less about Eastern Europeans, their freedom, rights to decide on their own about their countries and their agenda. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master and we owe Russia nothing.

I concur 100%. The neocon warmongers are at work! And they don't like people like Mearsheimer who has the guts to speak the TRUTHS right in front of their faces.
