Mearsheimer: Many say that "Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to conquer it & integrate it into a greater Russia. Putin is interested in recreating the Soviet Union." This all is nonsense, there is no evidence to support that. This is all about NATO expansion.

John Joseph Mearsheimer is an American political scientist and international relations scholar, who belongs to the realist school of thought. He is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. He has been described as the most influential realist of his generation.

Mearsheimer is the leading proponent of offensive realism. The structural theory, unlike the classical realism of Hans Morgenthau, places the principal emphasis on security competition among great powers within the anarchy of the international system, not on the human nature of statesmen and diplomats.
