Professor John Mearsheimer is a distinguished professor at the University of Chicago. He is a relations theorist and expert on international relations and has received numerous awards.
He has made several predictions that have come true, including what he said in 2015 about Ukraine’s relationship with the West:
“The West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path, and the result is that Ukraine is going to be wrecked.”
There is a similarity between what transpired with the Covid-19 response and what is at work in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The antipathy towards Russia has been going on for some time. The dogma is that America is good, and Russia is evil in its simplicity. With Covid, if you are against the shot, lockdowns or mask-wearing, or want to avail yourself of Ivermectin, you are somehow evil and don’t care about the deaths of your fellow human beings.
More people have died from the Covid shots than have died in the Ukrainian conflict. That is not justifying what is going on; however, we must understand what lies behind the war.
We have to ask is, “Would America tolerate what the West expects Russia to tolerate?” Professor Mearsheimer makes a case in the following video interview from February 2022.
I understand all that you have reported. It is clear that there are no winners, as who in their educated minds would succumb to such oppression, allowing their Government to act in such irresponsibility. Signing the utter destruction of life as they once knew it! Right is right - Wrong is wrong! How it is perceived by individuals of each and every description is the "pain" they now all bare.
