Ukraine / Putin Explained (1 of 4) John Mearsheimer (clip). Prediction comes True

Ukraine / Putin Explained (1 of 4) John Mearsheimer (clip from 2015)

The first video is less than two minutes long. It is a clip from a lecture given by one of the world’s foremost experts on geopolitics and international relations. His name John J. Mearsheimer and he is a Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Prof. Mearsheimer has written and lectured extensively on security issues, and he is the author of six books. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has authored numerous articles for such publications as the London Review of Books, Foreign Affairs, International Security, the New York Times and the Financial Times among others. You can see his full credentials at this link.

The clip is from a lecture that Professor Mearsheimer gave on September 25, 2015. This was more than six years before the start of the current Ukraine-Russian war. In this clip Mearsheimer uncannily predicts what was bound to happen to Ukraine. This is what he said at the time:

“What is going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path and the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked.”

Six and half years later Mearsheimer’s prediction has come true.
