The article, titled "When US scientists start thinking like politicians, people will stop believing them," mentions a meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and American expert John Mearsheimer, who made a statement that the conflict in Ukraine "is the most dangerous in decades, and so it should end as soon as possible.”
At the same time, political scientist Francis Fukuyama ridiculed Mearsheimer's position, suggesting that he is becoming more and more like a MAGA supporter (MAGA is the slogan of Donald Trump's supporters. -

).
The authors of the material note that Fukuyama "does not think like a scientist, but like a politician who tends to jump to conclusions and label other politicians with whom he does not agree."
The publication writes that in the United States "there is no room for a debate about what is right and what is wrong" in the situation around Ukraine, because "the only" culprit "must be Russia."
Fukuyama's comment is not a special case, but "reflects the general attitude of the US elite" towards those political scientists who stand out from the mainstream.
"The American political and academic climate is moving further and further away from the search for truth, objectivity, impartiality and justice," said Yang Xiyu, a senior fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.
Earlier, American journalist Glenn Greenwald said that American Democrats concluded after 2016 that the only way to win elections was to control the flow of information on the Internet.
To do this, they seek to redefine the meaning of the term "freedom of speech" and have made censorship the center of their political strategy, he said.
