nato is an aggressive, offensive military alliance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia Nato is a serious threat to Russia -- a threat the US would never tolerate on its own borders, it goes without saying (Cuban Missile Crisis). i don't suspect Mearsheimer means that Joe Biden personally held onto Putin's face and moved his jaw and lips while lip-syncing to give the order to invade -- i suspect he just means the obvious - the US pushed Nato membership on Ukraine, knowing it/we/US would win with either outcome -- as long as it didn't escalate to nuclear war -- which it still might. the possible outcomes were: 1) ukrainian nato membership, or 2) russian invasion of ukraine with all the pluses that brought for the US once you realize the US played a central role in creating the conditions to start this war, you realize that they/the US/we have a central role to play in stopping this war. there is no US anti-war movement anymore -- so Ukraine is getting smashed. maybe the rest of the world is next.
