Yes, it indeed is. Mearsheimer's books are financed by the Russian government, and Nuland is an insignificant middle manager in the US State Department whose intercepted phone call about recent events has been hyped into a vast conspiracy theory, as if she were a powerful shadow operative filling Ukrainian government positions.
OK, so give me some evidence of M' being a russian asset / funded
It doesn't really matter, because the offensive realist tradition is morality neutral
It doesn't really matter who is at fault. Great powers seek to dominate. Russia has a sphere of influence, so does the US. UA is as free as cuba. There is no morality here
if you're radicalised by your own bee hive to think your side isn't a great power seeking power, you're too far gone
There is no debate about the logic of international relations, no one is 'right'. Personally i think peace was possible,
it's irrelevant now -- thanks to this jingoism
Nuland isn't even the most relevant player in ukraine in this; you can find senators confessing to deposing the government of UA; and of only funding UA to grind down the russians. The whole machine i. UA is a cynical exercise of US power.
If you're a zealot for your own nations religion, so be it. This is all futile, there is no fight here. RU has won much much more than it ever needed to, well done
So I am 'pro-russia ', but the lines on my map, i assure you, will be less generous than what russia had taken -- all the while your lot will insist how right you are. Well done, they'll take hafl
