  The Darkness Ahead: Where The Ukraine War Is Headed
  
  from John J. Mearsheimer
  
  This paper examines the likely trajectory of the Ukraine war moving forward. I will address two main questions. First, is a meaningful peace agreement possible? My answer is no. We are now in a war where both sides – Ukraine and the West on one side and Russia on the other – see each other as an existential threat that must be defeated. Given maximalist objectives all around, it is almost impossible to reach a workable peace treaty. Moreover, the two sides have irreconcilable differences regarding territory and Ukraine’s relationship with the West. The best possible outcome is a frozen conflict that could easily turn back into a hot war. The worst possible outcome is a nuclear war, which is unlikely but cannot be ruled out.

  @MakBerberovic on which bases you are saying that? j.mearsheimer is one of the leading scholar of the realistic thought in international affairs. Prove your statements or please spare them to who is trying to better understand the world and distinguish complex reality from fake news and propaganda

  @erma If you can't take one look at his youtube channel and realize he's doing nothing but licking Putin's taint ever since that viral video at the start of the war, you are extremely unfit to recognize propaganda and need to go back to basics instead of attempting to debate people. Also, Realism is discredited in IR circles as a serious framework and serves only as a good starting point for understanding how people think about the subject, before moving on to far better modes of analysis. Mearsheimer is behaving more like Russell Brand than an academic since the invasion and it's ridiculous.

  @MakBerberovic your arguments are about youtube videos, licking Putin’s taint, and Russel Brand ?! How am I supposed to argue with such a fine background? Please, try to provide other platforms with your cultivate comments and let poor people go further with their interests!

  @erma It makes perfect sense to criticize an academic for acting like a youtube celebrity conspiracist. It's not my fault you don't understand what I'm talking about.
