We explained/predicted why there would be peace in Europe -- what we called the "liberal core" -- because of regime type, norms, international institutions, etc. We made the exact opposite prediction of Mearsheimer. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
At the same time, 30 years ago, @JimGoldgeier published a rebuttal of Mearsheimer, in @IntOrgJournal called "A tale of two worlds: core and periphery in the post-cold war era." https://t.co/7Mca9vQaZ1 8/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Because his theory ignores regime types, individuals, ideas, or multilateralism institutions, it was a parsimonious argument based just on a BOP assessment, esp about why the "return" to multipolarity would produce conflict again in Europe. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
30 years ago, in @Journal_IS "Back to the Future: Instability in Europe after the Cold War," Mearsheimer deployed realism to predict war in Europe. https://t.co/X2uiIuqcBW 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
But I also think we should assess whose theories have predicted more. (It's easy to "predict" the past, especially when you cherry-pick the history to fit your theory!) 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

On Ukraine, I think Mearsheimer is wrong. It is not the US fault that Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 and might do so again now. We debated these issues in @ForeignAffairs w/ @SSestanovich years ago: Faulty Powers https://t.co/raswWVxin5 via @ForeignAffairs 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Whenever I teach IR courses, I assign big chunks of Mearsheimer all the time (Walt too). 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

I respect John as one of the clearest, most logical realist theorists out here. Unlike some, he also admits/understands that realism is both an explanatory theory and a normative perspective, or what Id call an ideology. (Liberalism also is a theory & an ideology.) 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of people in my feed recently keep referencing Professor Mearsheimer as the great explainer of the current Russia-Ukraine conflict. I have some thoughts. THREAD 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Stalin was against NATO too. At the time of NATO's creation, so too were some U.S. strategists, including Kennan. (See Gaddis' "George F. Kennan," p. 326.) Thankfully, we didnt listen to Stalin's objections in 1949. Not all of Moscow's grievances are legitimate, then or now. — PolitiTweet.org

NATO expansion was parked -- ambiguously, awkwardly, but clearly to all -- ever since Putin left troops in Georgia in 2008 & Ukraine 2014. No country is ever going to join NATO when Russian soldiers occupy part of your country. What changed? Putin 150,000 mobilized soldiers. — PolitiTweet.org
