🇺🇦 Mearsheimer: Drones Alone Cannot Deliver Ukraine Victory Prof. John Mearsheimer (John Mearsheimer) lays out one of the clearest assessments yet of why Ukraine’s air war cannot succeed — and why drones alone will never deliver victory. ⚠️ He explains the scale of the imbalance: Russia is striking Ukraine... with “ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, smart bombs, and drones,” while Ukraine “basically has drones.” Mearsheimer asks the core question Western leaders refuse to confront: “Why does anybody think that hitting Russia with drones alone is going to cause the Russians to throw up their hands and surrender?” He details how Russian air power is dismantling Ukraine’s logistics — “tearing apart the transportation network” and “shut down Ukraine’s ports on the Black Sea… most importantly, the Odessa ports.” With Ukraine now “basically a landlocked country,” even imported weapons must move through rail and road networks Russia is “consistently targeting.” Mearsheimer’s conclusion is stark: the air‑and‑logistics picture is collapsing, and drones cannot change the trajectory of the war.

It is interesting how so many western analysts think that Russian attacks harden the will of Ukrainians to continue fighting, while Ukrainian attacks will make the Russian people beg for peace. And yes, there is a big asymmetry between levels. The Russians have only started with a little more "enthusiasm" a few weeks ago. Winter will be long and hard in Ukraine

@HelloSunset1692 @MearsheimerJ “Why does anybody think that hitting Russia with drones alone is going to cause the Russians to throw up their hands and surrender?” As always, Mearsheimer asks the wrong questions. The real question is “Why does the West attack Russia with drones if that wont give victory?”

@MearsheimerJ Ukraine nato and the bolsheviks are really desperate. The end is coming. No more money laundering. No more Blackrock.

@MearsheimerJ Yes, and Russia is doing so well after 4 yrs into this illegal war 🫢😂😂

@MearsheimerJ Kill the Nazi's

@MearsheimerJ They have not fought for over 4 bloody years to let that ghastly little fuck in the Kremlin prevail…. No chance. Francis

Since his meeting with Donald Trump, we have seen a Zelenskyy boosted, certainly by promises, he has begun to send hundreds of drones for attacks more spectacular than harmful, unfortunately, the time has come for the Ukrainian people to pay the consequences of their leader’s bravado.

@MearsheimerJ "disarm, nazis!" the antiwhites shout

@MearsheimerJ Nothing can deliver Ukraine victory.

@MearsheimerJ Why the Russian military took 4 years to start doing all this only recently l dont understand. Seemed logical from the beginning to stop supply lines into Ukraine, even to me

@MearsheimerJ This speaker mentions nothing that Ukraine shut down all Russian ports too. What a one sided misinformation. This guys always pro Russia, now his talks are less aggressive as Ukraine is destroying Russia slowly, lol

@MearsheimerJ why it keeps going? Proxy ukraine is keeping this going since Russia as the resource is that what otherwise Russia would be fully focused on the Middle East it’s not about win or lose it’s about distraction and diversion

@MearsheimerJ There is NO logic behind the Ukraine war… it’s a money laundering operation at scale. And the crooks at the top are running out of ammo. And support. They must be shaking in their boots… these people are ALWAYS expendable.

@MearsheimerJ Ukrainians willing to hand up their hands ,just the west oligarchs not let them , because their best financial business.....!

@MearsheimerJ I professor of bull shit , ukraine is holding its own ask the Russian navy and its oil refineries

@MearsheimerJ `For two weeks now, Russia has been blocking all Ukrainian exports. No more exports means no more revenue, and therefore no more ability to pay the interest on its debt. Russia ..put an end to this conflict;` Russian Victory @reuters

@MearsheimerJ ballistilisi rakette on vaja ja moskvat lüüa. varsti tulevad

@MearsheimerJ DDDD is the number one source of daily war updates.

@MearsheimerJ SURRENDER has always been Ukro's only choice

@MearsheimerJ FUCK UKRAINE

@MearsheimerJ It's not about victory any longer, it's about killing civilians. Same with Iran

@MearsheimerJ The guy is consistent. Constantly full of nonsense.

@MearsheimerJ And presently building a multibillion-dollar Ukrainian ski lodge. What a joke like this man himself.

@MearsheimerJ But Ukraine is still standing and Moscow is on fire and Crimea is being systematically cut off🧐

@MearsheimerJ Mearsheimer is either stupid or adopting his "truth" to the old Cold War paradigm he knows and is so comfortable with.

@MearsheimerJ Russian propaganda

@MearsheimerJ How is Russia dep,lying the smart bombs ? Without an airforce ?

@RickSanchezTV @MearsheimerJ What are they fighting for?? NATO already said you can never join!! Right??

@MearsheimerJ Wasn’t Britain & USA under the 1991 agreement of nuclear disarmament supposed to provide protection to Ukraine?? Just thought I would asked?

@MearsheimerJ And jet fighters and bombers .

@MearsheimerJ This guys not a serious commentator - paid in rubbles I suspect

@MearsheimerJ The Turks are supplying Ukraine with the most modern American ammunition. They definitely got permission from the Russians, and even gave them their most important codes. It will either be Russian-made for NATO, or used against the US. The US has put a tooth on the hyena.

@MearsheimerJ Listening to this Russian shill. 😂😂😂😂😏. You deserve to be lied to.

@MearsheimerJ He's so much against Ukraine.
