Wow, John Mearsheimer is now a Russian propagandist? You can disagree, but you may want to listen to one of your best thinkers in international politics.

This fellow was completely and utterly wrong about Putin, saying that he'd never invade.

How can someone be proven so wrong about their life's work and still be called "one of your best thinkers in international politics."?

He predicted this crisis in 2014, and I think he has been quite consistent on saying Putin will act, just that Putin will not occupy Ukraine. Now there is the possibility of Russia taking the eastern part, but his main thesis is still valid: the west should leave Ukraine as a buffer state.
