John Mearsheimer on why the West is principally responsible for the
Ukrainian crisis
The political scientist believes the reckless expansion of NATO
provoked Russia
The trouble over Ukraine actually started at NATO’s Bucharest summit in
April 2008, when George W. Bush’s administration pushed the alliance to
announce that Ukraine and Georgia “will become members”. Russian
leaders responded immediately with outrage, characterising this
decision as an existential threat to Russia and vowing to thwart it.
According to a respected Russian journalist, Mr Putin “flew into a
rage” and warned that “if Ukraine joins NATO, it will do so without
Crimea and the eastern regions. It will simply fall apart.” _America
ignored Moscow’s red line,
however, and pushed forward to make Ukraine a Western bulwark on
Russia’s border. That strategy included two other elements: bringing
Ukraine closer to the eu and making it a pro-American democracy_.

The next major confrontation came in December 2021 and led directly to
the current war. The main cause was that Ukraine was becoming a de
facto member of NATO. The process started in December 2017, when the
Trump administration decided to sell Kyiv “defensive weapons”. What
counts as “defensive” is hardly clear-cut, however, and these weapons
certainly looked offensive to Moscow and its allies in the Donbas
region. Other NATO countries got in on the act, shipping weapons to
Ukraine, training its armed forces and allowing it to participate in
joint air and naval exercises. In July 2021, Ukraine and America
co-hosted a major naval exercise in the Black Sea region involving
navies from 32 countries.
Operation Sea Breeze almost provoked Russia to fire at a British naval
destroyer that deliberately entered what Russia considers its
territorial waters.

онзи най-вероятно ще го пропусне като руска пропаганда 8-).
В САЩ (в случая Великобритания) всеки може да изрази лично мнение без да
бъде убит, а ако не говори за "черни" и "джендъри" дори няма да си
загуби работата. Публикации, като "Тhe Еconomist", винаги търсят
разнообразни мнения.
Аз цитирах какво той казва във видеото пуснато от Чорби и следователно
колко струва мнението му по върпоса - т.е. по-малко от пукната пара.
