John J. Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in Political Science and Co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, assesses the causes of the present Ukraine crisis, the best way to end it, and its consequences for all of the main actors. A key assumption is that in order to come up with the optimum plan for ending the crisis, it is essential to know what caused the crisis. Regarding the all-important question of causes, the key issue is whether Russia or the West bears primary responsibility. video:

So, Rev Left radio was able to post an Mearsheimer talk (the one that's been going around). I'm kinda surprised that Brett got permission to post it under the Rev Left Radio brand. I'm also kind of disappointed that he didn't offer any commentary, and otherwise (seemingly) uncritically re-hosted am anticommunist like Mearsheimer.

    Breht says they are actually planning to read/discuss fascist and otherwise reactionary literature on the pod, so he doesn't intend the podcast to be solely leftist in scope of the material discussed

    It is a bit odd that he didn't offer commentary, I was expecting him to when I saw the description.

      He already put out two other interview episodes and a hot take one this week, so maybe he just wanted to share this. Don't know under what auspices he just ripped the audio, but it was a good listen.
