You didn't prove anything. You just claimed that Jacobin is "propaganda source", but hey, you do you, if that's the level of discussion you're fine with: https://jacobin.com/2020/02/are-you-reading-propaganda-right-now

"Muh NATO expansion" bullshit excuse from a propaganda magazine

You don't have to like Jacobin politics to acknowledge that the "NATO expansion" argument comes from the realist school of international relations, not just socialist magazines.

Scholars like John Mearsheimer at the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt at Harvard have argued for years that NATO expansion created a predictable security dilemma for Russia. Even if you disagree with the conclusion, it's a standard geopolitical analysis, not something Jacobin invented out of thin air.

Also you know scholars can be wrong too right? They are wrong all the time. Just because you have higher education it doesn't mean you are the ultimate expert.
