Piers Morgan vs John Mearsheimer | On Putin, Israel-Hamas And More

[@BabHypatie]

It is really rare to see this level of wisdom . Hats off Mr Mearsheimer.

[@martydav9475]

A room full of Ukrainians might test this "wisdom". He seems very relaxed about Ukrainians losing forty percent of their country to a dictator who kills and imprisons his political opponents, rigs elections and doesn't allow free speech.

Ok, he's a bit bald. Don't be so cruel. Maybe you meant hats off TO Mr Mearsheimer?

[@TheJmkovacs]

Piers Morgan is either an idiot or incredibly ignorant.

[@Pappaous]

Actually, Dr. Mearsheimer had to dumb it down several dilutions, to pass woke censorship, and meet the basic requirements of Statecraft. Based on this level of comments above, it is easy to see why more just don't bother with the Idiocracy™.

[@KenTeel]

He's completely wrong. NATO never started a war when Lituania, Estonia and Lavia joined. Putin knows that NATO wouldn't start a war. NATO is not the reason the the Ukrainian War started. Putin's fascination with the Russian Empire of the 1800s, is why this started. He wants that back.

[@italnsd]

Indeed. While I'd like to commend Piers at least for keeping inviting Prof. Mearsheimer to his show, I am puzzled by his approach to these debates. His questions do not seem to follow any logical path other than the continuous pursuit of a gotcha moment at the expense of the professor, with the invariable result of getting humiliated at every turn by someone who is intellectually way too much above his league. Why does he keep doing it? One possibility is that he's too dense to even realize the beating he receives because the professor is too polite to throw a ko punch and just keeps jabbing him. Either that or Piers is a masochist.

1. Regarding the Minsk agreements. They contained an important point for Putin: the autonomy of the DPR/LPR and the ability to veto all decisions of Kyiv. This is actually a stranglehold for Kyiv, since this boil in the Donbass is exactly what Putin needed to prevent Ukraine from being independent. Yes, there is no need to seize Ukraine, it is enough to have your own pro-Kremlin president there, like Yanukovych was. Therefore, Maidan 2014 threw Yanukovch off the throne. For the same purpose, a Russian purulent abscess in the form of Transnistria has been created in Moldova for more than 30 years, which would have been created under Yeltsin. Moldova wanted to join NATO? Never! Putin didn’t take over Belarus either, it’s just that Lukashenko has long been Putin’s tame president. Belarus is actually under the control of the Kremlin. Or does anyone doubt this? 2. If Putin doesn’t need Ukraine, why did he tell Carlson for half an hour his historical fantasies of the causes of the war starting from the 7th century? 3. Does Putin not care about Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania? Haha, but for some reason that's where the most anxiety is now. Probably everyone in these countries is idiots? Doesn't Putin care about Finland and Sweden as NATO members? Once again haha, so he doesn’t care that his access to the Baltic Sea is closed? And don’t even give a damn about Russian Kaliningrad? Very funny. Especially if you remember his words: “If Crimea had not been taken, then NATO would have stood there.” John Mearsheimer is not an idiot, he is Putin's agent. He keeps silent where he needs to, and distorts somewhere. If a literate person sat in front of him, or even in front of Putin, with all the facts in hand, he would have smashed both John Mearsheimer and Putin into dust. They both dissemble, distort facts and juggle facts. In fact, Mearsheimer still has a lot of holes in his arguments; there is simply no desire or point in sorting everything out here.

The NATO argument has some merit in terms of rival powers encroaching on “spheres of influence” as professor Mearsheimer refers in his writings based on real politik thinking…but I think it’s somewhat overstated.
