As far as I can tell, people aren't mad at John Mearsheimer for stuff he got wrong, they're angry at him for the stuff he got right.

People are giving Mearsheimer shit because he's been a broken clock. He's not really right.

Don't forget Jor-El. The most relevant DC character to today's politics by a long shot.

Having difficulty w/ Mearsheimer’s alt-reality: Does he think Putin would not try to claw back former USSR if NATO had refused to admit Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc.? Where would those states be today if unwelcome in NATO?

Hussain can't sustain his asinine pretense that Mearsheimer "predicted" current events for the remainder of his own tweet thread, and it's just three tweets. Mearsheimer didn't predict shit. He claimed hints of NATO expansion would justify Russia lashing out with atrocities.

Look at what he says Putin is justly angered about: It's the EU&US promising security, promoting democratic freedom, civil society, anti-corruption measures. It's wrong to support those values in other countries as part of our foreign policy? Don't Ukrainians deserve democracy
-
Mearsheimer's whole philosophy is that those values are meaningless and might makes right, always. I'm not saying he's correct but you'll get nowhere making a moral argument with himhttps://twitter.com/JayTharappel/status/1314168746269839362 …

With all due respect, There was no NATO expansion in Georgia and there was CERTAINLY No NATO expansion in Syria or Libya, so this whole NATO expansion story just doesn't hold water. Putin just wanted to flex muscle and scare the West, he miscalculated.
