So I logged into my university library and noticed something.
The words "peer reviewed" do not appear on the description of the Foreign Affairs journal which published Mr Mearsheimer's article.
So if I dial down to the first one directly on topic which is listed as 'peer reviewed',
It doesn't match any of Mearsheimer's three points. It kindof comes close on Mearsheimer's third one, about the Western policy of encouraging democratic concepts as national governence systems, but diverges on the conclusion from it.
Johnson actually flew out before the talks were finished. The talks failed because Russian demands were unacceptable to Ukraine.
'Peaceful settlement' in Russian is much the same as 'land grab'.
And a country under tyrannical occupation is not a country at 'peace'. There is more to peace than merely the absence of warfare.
Yes. And as for Yanukovych - he was a Russian spy who lied to the people and betrayed Ukraine so they got him out. That is not a coup, as someone called it, it is swift justice. You don't have to have a coup to get a criminal out.

Just a reminder of what the occupiers have done to the people of Ukraine.
People defending these occupiers are quite simply disgusting.
Really? I thought it was RuZZian for, "I kill you."
The OP that claimed to have peer-reviewed articles published has run and hid when this was brought up. 30 seconds to see that a re-publication of something from Financial Times isn't exactly "peer reviewing."
I wonder what journal peer-reviewed @engineerws articles and how @engineerws defines "Peer Review."
I doubt we get an answer, they're probably off on telegram asking their handlers what disinfo to promote next. I think the Bingo card will get a few more spaces filled in, though Clare Daly is no longer a useful idiot so I expect we need a new square there.
It would be a "Russian Peace".
@engineerws … please link your work
Russia's definition of peace is rather like the definition of Calgacus as quoted by Tacitus. ''They make a desert and call it peace''
Russian interest Rate at 21% with the ruble deteriorating. Anyone wanna take a bet what new interest rate they'll announce this year to counter that?
I'm gonna go aggressive and say 25%!
Who would have known threatening half the world with Nukes and firing ICBMs at your neighbors wouldn’t breed confidence to the outside world in your country.
A bit of chatter about this (ATACMS)

Seems there's never been a year like it across Russia of such mass poisonings in schools in Russia.
Looks like it's the quality of food bought/available on tighter budgets and changes in school staff.
This case reported yesterday has now risen to 60.

Scumbag behavior,as usual we have a good idea of who is behind it.
Few sources picking up on this now

A dark evening in the Moscow suburbs
There are no "ethnic Russians" nor "Russian speaking" supporters of Putin & Russia left in free Ukraine to liberate & / or enslave.
Because all of the above people have turned against Putin & his murderous regime & evil war, & joined together with their fellow Ukrainian citizens & are involved in the fight & resistance against the evil hordes that wish to destroy them.
Steven Seagal appears to be passing his knowledge onto others fellow Russians.

Is this the escalation Putin threatened us with?
Busy evening, let them fly.
A good few business people in recent weeks and days are being hit big time by the Russian authorities for money.

Losing Vuhledar has led to this.
Not only is this town an anchor in the southern defense line it also was the staging group for their southern counter attack.
2014 was a revolution after many months of protest. It's true that many western politicians joined the protests, but they did not instigate them. The population had already had a revolution in 2004 against an election that had been rigged by Yanukovych, who was PM in 2004. The Ukrainian Supreme Court ordered the re running of the election, which was won by Yuschenko, whom the Russians had poisoned causing disfigurement. That is the background or Russian interference in Ukraine.
Given our own history and long experience of imperial propaganda during British rule, we should see through Russian propaganda designed to delegitimise Ukraine, and to revive colonialism. Russia is doing in Ukraine the things that Cromwell did in Ireland in the 17th century. A collapse of Ukraine would lead another refugee crisis on the scale of 2022, and that's the last thing we need.
Also I recommend people inform themselves about who on social media are well known Russian propagandists so as to avoid falling for their propaganda, which while often claiming concern for our safety, is more concerned with that of Putin and the success of Russian imperialism.
Exactly the same Modus Operandi used by the NKVD under Stalin, as seen in the Baltic States, Moldavia and Eastern Poland in 1940: the decapitation of governing, military, administrative and civil society by mass murder and now resurrected by Putain. Example-Katyn Forest.
Supposedly a video of the explosions below:
Looks like this was untrue.
Mearsheimer arguments don't make sense. He argues that The West is to blame for Russia invading Ukraine. His argument is that due to "NATO expansion" Russia had no choice but also expand into Ukraine to counter this. This argument is flawed for a few reasons:
The reason Russia invaded Ukraine is that they wanted more land. Putin wants to make a new cold-war sized Russia.
TLDR: Mearsheimer is an eejit.
