This person is a foreign policy advisor to Bernie Sanders
It is kind of interesting to me how even the smarter arch reactionaries agree it’s not a good idea to provoke Putin out of their own self interest, but the liberals are still frothing at the mouth
Because they’re still convinced russiagate was real and was why they lost in 2016. Not that they ran a shitty candidate and a shitty campaign
they have gone full “destroy Russia because they made us look bad”
As much as it is a non materialist explanation, I honestly think this is a massive contributing factor to the current lib Russia hysteria. They were so traumatized by Trump, and he and his hogs are too dumb to have done it themselves, because the libs are just so super smart, so it HAS to be putin.
Kissinger’s thing is power balancing. There’s a decent faction of neocons who want to do the Sino-Soviet split again, but this time with Russia against China. Mearsheimer is one.
And it would be either a winning or a more successful strategy at least, if they hadnt acted in ways that pushed the two together more solidly.
libs are only for it right now cos the president is a dem, if Trump were still around and this was going on they would be full throat anti-war and constantly talking about how Trump is a nazi and arming nazis in ukraine.
