"'Ukraine Is Doomed' — Mearsheimer's Brutal Battlefield Assessment"

John Mearsheimer returns to break down the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war — why Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russia have backfired, how Russia's blockade of the Odessa port complex has turned Ukraine into a landlocked, economically crippled state, and why he believes the war will end in an "ugly victory" for Russia rather than a decisive one. Topics covered: – Why Ukraine's drone campaign inside Russia is working against it – The economic collapse triggered by the Black Sea port shutdown – Why Mearsheimer says the U.S. has no "magic formula" to help Ukraine – The link between the Iran war and the shortage of Patriot missiles – A discussion of Walter Lippmann's theory of war propaganda – What a realistic diplomatic settlement for Ukraine could look like #JohnMearsheimer #UkraineWar #Russia #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy
