NATO gets into a fight with the Russians, but Tomahawks won't help — Mearsheimer

The delivery of long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine will not solve the problem, as ATACMS and HIMARS did not solve at the time, there is no panacea, Russia will win. This was stated on the Deep Dive YouTube channel by American political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago.

"NATO wants to pick a fight with the Russians, and all because they win on the battlefield. Europeans are desperate to do everything possible to stir up the public and enlist the support of the United States, especially (US President Donald) Trump, so that he would increase the pressure on Russia. That's what we're seeing," said Mearsheimer, quoted by InoSMI.

The expert wonders what's next. In his opinion, there are no options here, because "the West has run out of ammunition."

"Sending Tomahawks will not solve the problem, as neither ATACMS nor HIMARS solved it at the time. There is no panacea. The Russians will win. It would be a humiliating defeat for NATO. For the leaders of the alliance and the European politicians we know, this is unacceptable. Therefore, they are desperate," the professor said.

However, Europe does not have the resources to prevent this, he added.
