Putin Declares Russia WILL Win the Ukraine War — Peace Talks Collapse | Mearsheimer Analysis

Описание: Putin has declared Russia will win the Ukraine war. In this John Mearsheimer analysis, we explain why peace talks collapsed and what comes next.
Vladimir Putin has now stated unequivocally that Russia will win the war in Ukraine—and with peace talks collapsing, the conflict has entered a far more dangerous phase. This is not rhetoric. It is a strategic signal. In this in-depth geopolitical analysis, we break down what Putin’s declaration really means, why diplomacy has failed, and how the structural logic of great power politics is driving the war toward escalation rather than compromise.
In this video, we apply Professor John Mearsheimer’s theory of offensive realism to the Russia–Ukraine war. Instead of focusing on personalities, morality, or surface-level narratives, this analysis examines the deeper forces shaping state behavior in an anarchic international system. Specifically, we explore:
• Why Russia views Ukraine as a core strategic buffer, not just a neighboring state
• How NATO expansion created a security dilemma from Moscow’s perspective
• Why peace talks were structurally doomed to fail
• How great powers calculate victory, endurance, and acceptable costs
While mainstream media coverage focuses on battlefield updates and political messaging, this analysis strips away the rhetoric to reveal the raw power dynamics underneath. Offensive realism explains why rational leaders often make decisions that appear reckless, why escalation can feel safer than compromise, and why great powers are willing to absorb enormous pain to avoid strategic defeat.
The stakes extend far beyond Ukraine. This war represents a turning point for European security, NATO credibility, and the future of the post–Cold War international order. Whether the conflict freezes, escalates, or reshapes borders permanently, the baseline of global politics has already shifted. Understanding these dynamics is essential for anyone trying to grasp where world politics is heading—not just tomorrow, but for decades to come.
