Important piece on how realism in IR ended up being detached from reality when attempting to explain 🇷🇺 war against 🇺🇦 @jan_dutkiewicz & @jan_smolenski argue that the US, NATO & EU's role in this “crisis” was that of “an obstacle to the implementation of [🇷🇺] imperial designs”

Stop the War coalition produced a statement (signed by @jeremycorbyn and @HackneyAbbott ) showing a map of Russia-occupied Crimea as part of Russia (I hope @Keir_Starmer is paying attention). How could this not embolden Putin’s further land grab? 4/5

Our article is in an issue! @KPColeman @MagnusLLundgren How come #IOs set ambitious goals but scale them down? Policy paradigms ➡️ achievable issue definitions ➡️ limited action = No UN army or large standby force, focus on a rapidly deployable #peacekeeping brigade (∼5,000)
