John Mearsheimer is a Russian shill. read recent The New Yorker interview with him.

this is what he had to say when asked if the Ukrainian people wanted to in a West-friendly democracy:

“If Ukraine becomes a pro-American liberal democracy, and a member of nato, and a member of the E.U., the Russians will consider that categorically unacceptable. If there were no nato expansion and no E.U. expansion, and Ukraine just became a liberal democracy and was friendly with the United States and the West more generally, it could probably get away with that. “

essentially, he’s saying Ukrainians don’t have the right to self determination because it’ll antagonise the delicate Kremlin.
