So if that happened... who would you blame? Russia?

  I'd blame Canada for putting the Russian military on American's doorstep. Who would you blame?
  • majormajor 5y ago
    Probably the US and then Canada. But what if the Russian military didn't even have any significant presence in Canada but the US invaded anyway? Then I'd absolutely blame the US primarily. I wouldn't blame Russia in that situation.

      What if Russia had their bases in most of the South American countries and had been openly discussing having their base in Mexico for 14 years. And then 5 years ago, if all of the Mexican leaders that America was maintaining relationship with were suddenly arrested for "corruption" and then Gabriel Iglesias was elected for the president... and you try to befrend the new leadership, but then they start speaking the Russian talking points. Who would you blame then?

        Who is democratic in this scenario?
        • ComradePhil 5y ago
          Let's say everyone's constitution says they are "democratic", just like they do in the real world.

  The notion of "blame" isn't really useful when you're leading a country, and want to not get invaded. Moral superiority won't repel attacks of enemy troops.

    Then why are we even talking about who Mearsheimer blames?
    • refurb 5y ago
      Because Mearsheimer is trying to throw a wrench in the narrative by blaming the exact people who think they are blameless.
