The reality is that as with most wars there were serious mistakes and provocations on both sides. Meersheimer is partly right but leaves out that Putin made the final decision to respond to our provocations. Electing a senile Biden who had a bunch of weaklings around him was another factor leading Putin to think there would be no response to his second invasion.
This brings into focus how out of control our deep state is. Now that USAID is practically dead, its role in funding the 2014 coup in Ukraine is coming out. The previous government was Russia friendly and we installed a Western friendly one with Nuland at State picking many of the cabinet ministers. Hopefully Congress will enact legislation to ensure that Trump's almost total elimination of USAID will be permanent.
Tulsi Gabbard is saying that she is encountering more resistance than even she expected. She needs Trump's full support to downsize the intelligence agencies which have become rogue and unaccountable unconstitional branches of government. I predict Tulsi will win this war.
Michael Schellenberger has a couple of long but excellent videos up here at substack analyzing what is happening at a deeper level and why there is utter panic. Basically the post WWII order with the US as the dominant power is being replaced with nationalist governments who are acting in their own interests. There are millions of leaches in governments, NGO's, and regime media who make a living by supporting this old order and writing in favor of it.
I've been giddy the last 7 weeks with excitement and watching our first chance to cleanse our increasingly corrupt elites and return to Enlightenment values and limited Government. As a scientist, I'm excited to see Makary, RFKJ, and Battacharia because they can clean up science institutions which are mostly now hopelessly politicized and woke. And there is a real chance to end the wars too.
Time is of the essence in rooting out the CIA, before it is able to do what it does best, regime change. Except this time, regime change will be in DC. This one item is really troubling-murder, torture, propaganda doesn’t faze them at all.

Other commenters have mentioned NATA expansion as a bright line for Putin and I think that's right too.
