In diesem Essay publiziert vom Council on Foreign Relations, skizziert John J. Mearsheimer ein gänzlich anderes Bild vom Ukraine Konflikt, als es unsereiner lieb sein kann.
According to the prevailing
wisdom in the West, the Ukraine crisis can be blamed almost entirely on
Russian aggression. Russian President Vladimir Putin, the argument goes,
annexed Crimea out of a long-standing desire to resuscitate the Soviet
empire, and he may eventually go after the rest of Ukraine, as well as
other countries in eastern Europe. In this view, the ouster of Ukrainian
President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014 merely provided a pretext
for Putin’s decision to order Russian forces to seize part of Ukraine.
But this account is wrong: the United States and its European allies share most of the responsibility for the crisis.
