The video by Mearsheimer should be viewed by anyone wanting to understand whats happening. It's title is Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? and basically lays down the reasons for why the U.S have driven Nato expansion eastward. The cold war never ended in the U.S

As a European I'm shocked that Euro leaders have allowed this to get so out of hand.

Here's a video of a talk John Mearsheime did for some students at Cambridge just a few days before SHTF https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbj1AR_aAcE including his views on the sudden escalation in recent months.

Yet the US has been luke warm on supporting Europe militarily in recent years and European defence spending has plummeted. I don’t buy this idea that it is the West’s fault at all.
