Mearsheimer is a Koch-funded appeaser and Russian war crime denier who said Russia only attacks armed civilians who resist:
"Russians are going to be fighting against civilians because those civilians are fighting against the Russians."--Mearsheimer interview of 18/4/2022.
The mass graves of Bucha, Irpin, Izyum and Mariupol remain invisible to him and to this writer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NrUwejROYQ
Citing Mearsheimer as an "expert" exposes Mr. Dunn as a Russian war crime denier and genocide apologist.
Citing the senile Seymour Hersh, whose use of the Russian idiom "poor waif in his underwear" to describe Zelenskiy exposed him as nothing more than a Russian disinformation warfare useful idiot, exposes Mr. Dunn as the same. The Hersh that uncovered the My Lai massacre no longer exists.
How Putin will retain credibility by exporting a Holodomor 2.0 to the "Global South" by breaking the grain deal is never explained here.
"Populated by people the central government is very hostile to": Pure Russian disinformation propaganda that swallows the myth that Russian-speaking = Russian. Zelenskiy is a native Russian speaker whose Ukrainian is far from fluent. Ukraine's language law is less restrictive with Russian than Quebec's is with English or Latvia's with Russian.
Mr. Dunn is lost in Russified Whataboutistan: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/lost-in-russified-whataboutistan-3b6d27874592
There was no civil war in the Donbass, but an FSB covert operation that its leader, Igor Girkin, confessed was the true cause of the conflict: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_beBPJP2E0o
I've put this link into comments on several of Mr. Dunn's articles. But he prefers to ignore such evidence, blaming Victoria Nuland's Maidan sandwiches and US covert operations for the conflict that erupted in 2014, citing war crime deniers like Mearsheimer and the Swiss charlatan Jacques Baud: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/know-your-russian-useful-idiot-genocide-apologists-a-and-b-800013dd4aed
I look forward to buying Mr. Dunn a ticket to Kyiv and meeting him at the victory celebration in 2024 or 2025. The only thing that can prevent this from happening is Trump's reelection and his fellow Lindbergh-like appeasers MTG, tiki-torched Tucker and no blank cheque McCarthy running America's foreign policy.
