3 months ago, John Mearsheimer was making the argument for why the Iran War had already been lost. I remember the angry feedback, as much of the public has been indoctrinated into believing that recognising battlefield realities meant that he was cheering for Iran against his own country. Similarly, Mearsheimer recognising that Russia is winning the war is consistently framed as a "pro-Russian" analysis. In this era of intellectual dishonesty, we are lucky to have people like Mearsheimer.

Starmer’s resignation: Moscow’s take
Keir’s gone. Russia isn’t expecting much to change.
Dmitry Peskov: Starmer kept UK-Russia relations at “zero level” and did nothing to stand out. His successor likely won’t either.
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev: “We did it. Starmer's resignation unites us all.”
Analysts say Britain’s policy stays locked in, keep arming Kiev, keep confronting Russia.
No big shift coming, even under a new leader like Andy Burnham.
Same script, different actor.
