John Mearsheimer explaining that the Ukraine conflict is a direct result of the West’s reckless and arrogant policies, a strategic blunder driven by delusion and ideological overreach.
Instead of acknowledging geopolitical realities, Western leaders ignored Russia's red lines, expanded NATO to its doorstep, and blindly pushed Ukraine toward the West, provoking a predictable and devastating response.
The West didn't stumble into this crisis, it engineered it through sheer hubris and strategic stupidity.
