Please dispense with the "Russian bot", "Kremlin troll" crap. John Mearsheimer is a distinguished scholar who's been speaking for years on how the Ukraine crisis would blow up. He's really worth listening to:
If that's the person I think it is, their argument is basically that we should have pushed Ukraine into being a neutral buffer state between NATO states and Russia. Based on a talk I saw them give back in 2015.
In that same talk, they said, to paraphrase: "If someone wanted to hurt Russia, they would push them into invading Ukraine".
They also said that Russia would never accept a NATO member Ukraine.
