Do you know John Mearsheimer? Probably the most well known "scholar" who claimed for years it was the US that "forced" Putin to "protect" himself by claiming some land "only" in eastern Ukraine.
I just came across an early 2022 interview with Mearsheimer in The New Yorker. He was asked point blank, "If Putin attempts to take control of Kyev, will you admit you were wrong?"
"YES."
I don't propose holding your breath until Mearsheimer admits he was wrong.
This is another reason why the US is not doing anything, Whatever you read online, it's hard to truly grasp, without talking to people here, the extent of sheer madness in terms of current incapacity to see the simplest facts.
EXAMPLE:
Due to Trump and Vance's lies about FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Workers, who were claimed to be seizing people's homes for no reason), the very brave FEMA workers Jan and I met - some of whom were wearing HAZMAT suits to protect from an array of dangerous chemicals surfaced due to Hurricane Helene - had to have armed security guards because of numerous daily threats (and some locals found with guns who were "hunting" FEMA workers).
Someone who is part of a business group I meet with weekly said, after the election, she was so relieved that all the "government repression" we've "suffered" through the past several years is finally over. Wait until they start impriisoning journalists and other "enemies within."
this does seem so obvious, doesn't it?

Thank you Ulrich, for posting Truth.
meanwhile, speaking of the enemy within, a friend just posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxngDH8jVcw
Actually, Mearsheimer wasn’t always the idiot he’s now: https://www.jstor.org/stable/20045622 (h/t https://claireberlinski.substack.com/p/from-america-first-to-nuclear-war). And thanks for the wonderful song. Have it on repeat play right now. Reminds me of a song I can’t remember... He has 997 subscribers now. Would someone help him to get to 1000?
