> Why are Russia wishes regarding who Ukraine allies with more important than Ukraine’s wishes?

In this regard I think so yes. For stability in the world it's a better situation.



What are the wishes of Ukraine? Are you talking about Zelensky or People of Ukraine? Not very long ago US orchestrated a coup in the country so it is all meddled.


Yes, it is all meddled. Victoria Nuland was one of the main orchestrators regarding the Ukraine coup, quite clear when hearing the leaked phone call in which see also stated "fuck the EU" (might help people find the audio when Googling).

A spy, no. Just unfortunately living in the bubble of whatever blogs and other ideologically warped news sources you're reading.

No one in (mainstream) Ukrainian society believes in the "coup" or attaches any special significance to that allegedly pivotal and far-reaching Nuland exchange.


Blogs? I am listening to experts instead of watching CNN and cheering for yet another war the US have pushed forward for.

Here is an example for your education:

When you say No one again who are you speaking on behalf of? People of Donbas?


You know that just because some professor somewhere says something (in a way that makes it sound high-minded and respectable) -- that doesn't make it so, right?


Correct and same applies to you me and everyone else. The bottom line is you are an idiot if you flat out deny the perspective of people who are more knowledgeable than you are on this topic.


I don't deny Mearsheimer's views on Ukraine at all. On the contrary, I believe we should let them stand for what they are - as a shining example of Orwell's famous mamxim:

    “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.”


I think most passing readers would assess the likelihood relative to Mearsheimer not in your favour.
