@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.
