This is like listening to a Rocket Scientist trying to explain orbital mechanics to a penguin
Omg. 😂
😂
☠️
BINGO WAS HIS NAME !!!
THIS COMMENT is absolute GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in awe of Miersheimer's patience in dealing with Piers' very biased but limited intellect.
That Morgan guy has a really thick forehead
nailed it!
Yes Piers Morgan is very limited
Piers limited intellect? So anyone that disagrees with you or Smearshidt has limited intellect?
@@user-gl7xm3kf3y no, not because he disagrees but the way he is handling it, very primitive and low class.
John's face for the entire conversation: "Are you that stupid?🤦".
That's what I was thinking from the beginning of the podcast. Come to the comments and everyone agrees 🤣
I would stop going to the idiots interviews
whos josh
@@shantanudahiya5122 John. Sorry, that was a typo.
Lmao exactly right
I’m a truck driver. I live for intelligent conversations that challenge the modern human mind and the Western comprehension of the world. These kinds of videos turn my miles into minutes forcing to pull over and feign for more content like this to listen to.
Bravo 👏🏿 👍 👏🏿 👍
Thanks for keeping the world moving mate!
Listen to the The New Atlas, History Legends, The Duran, Kalibrated if you want more long form analysis.
Keep on trucking. Thanks for keeping our shelves stocked & bellies full.
@@solomonkane1712 thank you for this. I’ll look into it. Share with me more if think of anything else. It’s a pleasure to serve all American communities🤝🏾
Of course it is good to listen to Professor Mearsheimer. I just hope you didn't suffer any accidents while listening to the gibberish of Piers Morgan.
Piers doesn’t believe a word coming out of Putin , but would take every word of Israeli officials on how good they are!
🤣😂
Haha. True.
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.
@@grain8314go back to school or wake up, you have no idea what you are talking about! 🤣🤣🤣
Very true
Watching Peirs being so unaware of Johns digs against his intellect he doesn’t even realise he’s being called stupid 😂
Can you tell where you think he did 😂😂
Egomaniacs don't notice these things.😂
JJM is far too classy to stoop that low
Two battleships in the same port. The two insights are very enlightening. Points of view being shared.
@@RandyMorris-wq7tr Morgan has no opinion, he's a criminal, and a stupid one at that.
Prof John Mearsheimer is beyond the level of comprehension Piers possesses. This interview was profound on so many levels!
I dont think Piers can comprehend anything.
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.
@@italnsd I took the simple way out of this whole act....Piers is simply getting a fat check for taking the intellectual beatdown of his guests.
We say in Russia: it is better to keep silent and appear to be an idiot than to open your mouth and leave no doubt about it.
yeah its present in place i live too. so very wise, is that saying.
That quote is attributed to Winston Churchill.
В точку!!:))

Hint, it's the same people currently occupying a third of Syria (not a word on this from our host)
Haha. True! Nicely said! The prof is a legend!
@@jvaus1 The enemy of our enemy doesn't necessarily have to be our friend. Regardless of the corruption of the Western elites, don't forget that Russia and China have no interest in the welfare of European or American or Canadian (etc.) citizens.
There is one thing Piers should be given huge credit for. Inviting such an incredible guest as Dr. Mearsheimer just to have him completely and utterly destroy Pierce. I would not have the courage to do that.
The cultural and IQ difference is just too vast for these 2 to be in the same debate
Absolutely. Absolutely - Piers is the embodiment of the entire Western elite.
After 5 minutes of listening I have realised Piers doesn’t know anything about geo politics.
hahaha..you are right
Did you honestly EVER think he did?
He knows very well. He just refuses to align with the facts.
He is basically a turd, who is wrong in most cases and is a real Russian puppet. Not those the media portrays.
@@partoems9376 He is paid to go against facts...
Unfortunately this interview isn’t informative. Piers Morgan doesn’t seem to understand that people aren’t interested in his opinion, they want to hear what his guests have to say.
So true
This is not an interview. It’s a Piers Morgan talk show, for entertainment purposes only
Piers like a lot of politician in the West countries have very little knowledge concerning the Russian and Ucrainian history. But what they do have is geostrategic interests. . This war isn't about freedom nor democracy, it's all about hegemonic powers. The truth will come out and the Western world will never be the same again.
Funy to see how american people still believe that Piers and others not a big part of USA propaganda machine.
Exactly, all the time he cant let other to talk, interupts all the time
I could listen to Prof. Mearsheimer for hours and never be bored. What a brilliant, diligent mind. I love how he explains complicated things with a simple language and clear logic. It's also admirable how re remains calm and poised despite some interruptions from Mr. Morgan, who however does a good job in keeping the debate civil despite the obvious disagreements.
Morgan has a 2 dimensional almost child’s view of international diplomacy. The professor called out his naïveté.
Patience of this man is at next level.
A lesson in how to be patient in the face of stupidity and naivety
Amen. The man is a saint.
Oh, yes!
Professor Mearsheimer's kindness
and patience are useful qualities when it comes to dealing with some prejudiced/biased/disinformed/paranoid/vitriolic critics of Russia -and/or Putin-, as is the case with egocentric Piers Morgan.
By the way, US/UK aren't true
democracies.
That's a fantasy.
An illusion.
❤️🇷🇺
❤Putin
I think Mearsheimer picked a perfect tactic against Piers: Let Piers dig his own holes haha
yep, I was surprised about Pierces patience with this Pootin mouthpiece
The patience the professor has clearly shows he works with all types of students, including the Piers kind.
: )
Exactly !
Mearsheimer's views on Russia are well outside the Western scholarly mainstream and are disputed by essentially all his colleagues.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ok watch then debate between Mershaimer and Sikorski. His world view is completely detached from reality. When he said Putin said nothing and so on …. I mean it is really delusional, watch my comment in the main topic.
Listening to Piers is like smashing my head against a wall to get rid of a headache.
The lack of research by Piers Morgan and his team ahead of this interview really hurt them. You cannot catch John Mearsheimer out on these topics. He speaks in facts. If you don't have them to counter his arguments, you're going to lose. The classic defence of Morgan is to interrupt as soon as he realises his view is being dismantled, but it doesn't work against someone like Mearsheimer. He's too smart, to well-researched and too soaked in facts. He says it himself midway through the interview. We need to hear more voices like his on screens all over the world, and more people with his intellect in high office.
Morgan built his case mostly on his argument that “you can’t trust Putin”. But everyone is aware how Merkel and Hollande played Putin with the Minsk Agreements! You can’t trust politicians but the can come to agreement and contracts that can be veryfied. Very weak argument by PM!
I find it amazing that peirce has the most educated people on his show- and still remaibs so ignorant. Its a special gift i imagine.
It is by design, Piers Morgan is just another grifter. He knows the truth, but the lie pays better. It is the same thing you see with the rest of the media and Western politicians.
I think it's you that remains ignorant and you could learn from these highly educated people. Lol, I read your comment wrong -nevermind me.
Even though Pierce tries to ask intelligent questions, he has a hard time hiding his ignorance or his boss forces him to say it.
Piers Morgan is clown @@Tayerful
@@itech_engieer I'm saying the opposite that Mearsheimer is educated. I read the OP wrong lol. Piers is bought and paid for.
A conversation between a childish adult and a smart geopolitical strategist
If by a childish adult you mean a clown.
But Mearsheimer is wrong. NATO expansion didn’t cause war, Russia started like 5 wars(Ichkeria 2 times, Georgia, Syria, many in Africa, Ukraine) at least in the last 20 years and none because of NATO
Realist with no base in reality = propaganda
Not childish at all. Just paid system pig to say what neocolonials want
Putin went for Kiev!
@@michaelsteinberg5335 yeap, Kyiv had to be taken in 3 days.
Mearsheimer was the one who praised Russian military before the invasion, giving Ukraine no chances to stand against Russian orks. Was wrong and is wrong now
OMG, Pier’s level of ignorance is embarrassing.
Well said
It would be embarrassing if we hadn’t already known what an ignorant twa* he is.
spot on!
you got that right. after all. the questions were given to him.
We can only be embarrassed for him as he hasn't enough sense to be embarrassed of his own ignorance.
For a moment I felt like I am back in my first grade class , teacher trying to put alphabets in to my head , with no luck whatsoever 😮
Professor Mearsheimer is truly patient .
Hearing Mearsheimer’s monologs is far more enriching and informative than hearing him being interrupted by a penguin
Morgan never lets the Professor finish his response, interrupting constantly.
Because he knows he is right and can't let him finish also if he lets him finish he has no response because it would be nonsense.
Yes compared to what I saw with Jon Stewart and how he respect his guest whereas with piers if guest don’t agree with him he becomes rude and disrespectful
Morgan puts his insecurities and intellectual inferiority on full display by doing that. He is just an empty suit with a microphone.
It's his technique to interrupt a coherent argument.
This statement is false.
Piers, stop interrupting the smarter guy. Nobody wants to hear you talk. We came for Mearsheimer.
💯
That's a typical problem of ignorant yet opinionated fools like Piers.
Yep.. Gets fairly frustrating.
Thank you.Well said 😂
It's like watching a parent try and explain to an inconsolable toddler as to why no, we cannot buy you an aircraft carrier.
After watching the video, I really respect of Miersheimer's patience, and feel lucky in the same time. Thank God, there are still many professors who understand game theory in the think tanks of several world great powers. If it weren’t for their existence, our blue planet might have been destroyed several times.
Credit to the Prof for being so patient with Piers.
This is like seeing Einstein arguing with a 12-year old about relativity - everytime he looses an argument he changes the topic. But hats off for having Mearsheimer on.
The 12 year old can not understand Einstein.
Pierce Morgan does not want to understand Einstein and believes Einstein is the Idiot in this conversation.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
To be fair Piers needs to move on to other topics he cant keep debating the same thing with his guest all day
Man, these Morgans just have so many words. But content is no.
Good example of the stupid Western view that took us to the disaster we are now.
George Galloway just won an MP seat in the UK, a big slap in the face for elitists like Piers Morgan.
Galloway is a saint! Galloway for USA President if it were possible.
piers isn't an elitist,..he represents them!
@@knowhatimean5141I think what you are trying to say is that Piers Morgan is not an Elite. However he does support them (ie. he is an elitist).
Haha, Galloway is gonna keep the neocons awake all night every night
Mearshimer : Let's talk about geopolitics. I'm one of the leading experts.
Piers : Let's talk about me. Me. It's about me.
Talking over somebody does not win arguments. Prof Mearsheimer is such an articulated, intelligent gentlemen in this discourse.
Piers Morgan believes that the WEST is truthful and righteous.
😂
The west is the greatest beacon of freedom and liberty than anywhere else. I would hope you say this comment cause you love living in China, Russia, Palestine, etc. be a lgbt person, Jew, women, etc. in the east and explain why the west is bad. People that say this are obviously in the top 1% of underachievers.

Piers Morgan reminds me of the saying; "empty vessels make the most noise". His misplaced passion on issues is astounding.
Frankly it's more like he plays Devil's Advocate to make a good show.
Absolutely.
So you just swallow everything Mearscheimer says? No room for any doubt or challenge of either of the speakers views?
@@seanomaille8157 yes but the opposing view is already mainstream, so it's a moot point.
It takes a special kind of person like Pearce ( arrogant, dumb, opinionated) to remain in ignorance so long.
The professor was like a zen master quietly and methodically eviscerating an arrogant buffoon.
Bravo sir!
This conversation is of an adult vs a toddler.😂
I lasted exactly 10 minutes and 22 seconds. Listening to Piers is like listening to a drunk guy in a bar arguing the same point ad nauseum.
Lol THANK YOU!!!
Like a drunk who gets aggressive when argueing with the bar tender with a degree in political science and who speaks seven languages.
You have more patience than me. I lasted 9 minutes 😂
you are so entillejent ! "ad nauseam"
Strong. I lasted 8:10 until John Mearsheimer said "it all started in 2008", so two wars in my homeland Caucasus were just for fun russian wars? Cheers John Mearsheimer
I love when John mearsheimer chuckles when speaking to pierce morgan… like oh you simpleton 😂😂
Oh, dear... You've got no idea how wrong that old guy is!
He seems to chuckle every time I see him speak, no matter who interviews him. It's almost as if he is saying that he is in the know, and the rest of us are too dumb to get it. Comes across as a bit condescending.
exactly, they are in different leagues on this, Piers is tabloid, Professor Meisheimer is one of the world leading experts on strategy and has studied this exact area for decades.
Piers is a simple man.
He's used to dealing with students (full of priors but not much knowledge). Piers seems like a ret@rd in this interview. He has nothing to say except "muh mind-reading of Putin" "muh psychoanalysis." It's just such cheap, mass-media garbage.
If Ukraine was welcomed into NATO earlier, the war would have just started earlier. I don't think Piers understands that Ukraine was always the line in the sand for Russia.
Thanks Prof. John Mearsheimer!
Prof Mearsheimer does a fantastic job exposing Piers Morgan's embarrassing ignorance of all matters geopolitical.
"Pyers More-guns" is a super egotistic fool .
This prof youre so fond of is a fraud. Says a lot, but nothing else. Hes a philosopher lover, which we in science call "lazy idiots"
The sad thing is that Piers isn't even aware of his ignorance. What on earth made him to this interview.
@@xeniakipper537For a lot of money, he will pretend to be unconscious. This is how so-called journalism in the West works today.
He looks for evidence to judge if Russia wants to occupy total Ukraine before that happens, but he didn’t need any evidence that China is to becoming a regional hegemony to fight with China over Taiwan.
While I was getting impatient with that fool of an interviewer, I admired Mearsheimer's patience. How can one argue against clichés?
...again this stupidity and emptiness... fuuu, he is Briliant!
😂
Uhhhh mearsheimer was the one presenting the clichés!?!?!? Are you joking? These are all clichés aka Not True:
1. NATO was purposely expanding toward russias border
2. Ukraine was overthrown by a western coup
3. Putin was forced to invade ukraine
4. Ukraine is gonna lose! Even though everyone said they would lose in a week but they havent lost 2 years later.
Mearsheimer really puts one cliche after another on the table. Lies after lies
@@amax7321Absolutely. And the way he has twisted Stoltenberg's view of the cause of the conflict is embarrassing to hear.
Prof John's arguments , intellectual statements and patience way way way beyond Pius Morgan's brains!
How stubborn this guy is,not letting a man finish his sentences when he does not like where the answer is going...
When Pierce starts talking, the IQ of the whole building is decreasing
When you start typing, people scratch their heads and leave
Israel’s biggest threat is Israel.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IQ ? Piers not Pierce ,get it right before you criticise the IQ of others.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is like watching a young kid who thinks they know everything argue with their wise patient dad lol
lol. So true. This is going to end with Piers yelling, “Nah, Dad you’re wrong. Im leaving.”
Dad is propaganda voice in this case
Exactly same idea came to my mind while watching this.
It is so painful to watch as the intellectual level is poles apart.
I think of the saying: "When I was 14 I thought my dad an idiot. When I was 21 I couldn't believe how far he'd come in 7 years" ;-)
..Putin was talking about Poland invading Czechoslovakia in 1938 ..for Russia the WW2 was set in motion by Munich Agreement in 1938 .. even wikipedia writes about it ...
Within the region originally demanded from Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany in 1938 was an important railway junction city of Bohumín. The Poles regarded the city as of crucial importance to the area and to Polish interests. On 28 September, Beneš composed a note to the Polish administration offering to reopen the debate surrounding the territorial demarcation in Těšínsko in the interest of mutual relations, but he delayed in sending it in hopes of good news from London and Paris, which failed to come. Beneš then turned to the Soviet leadership in Moscow, which had begun a partial mobilisation in eastern Belarus and Ukraine and threatened Poland with the dissolution of the Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact.[3]
At noon on 30 September, Poland gave an ultimatum to the Czechoslovak government that demanded the immediate evacuation of Czechoslovak troops and police and gave Prague time until noon the following day. At 11:45 a.m. on 1 October the Czechoslovak foreign ministry called the Polish ambassador in Prague and told him that Poland could have what it wanted. The Polish Army, commanded by General Władysław Bortnowski, annexed an area of 801.5 km2 with a population of 227,399 people.
The Germans were delighted with the outcome.[citation needed] They were happy to give up a provincial rail centre to Poland. It was indeed a small sacrifice, spread the blame of the partition of Czechoslovakia, made Poland an accomplice in the process and confused the issue as well as political expectations. Poland was accused of being an accomplice of Nazi Germany.[4]
First Vienna Awardedit
In November 1938, Poland crossed into Slovakia where a minor firefight took place at Spisz, resulting in two fatalities on the Polish side, before the Slovak withdrawal.[5] Poland occupied some northern parts of Slovakia and received territories around Suchá Hora and Hladovka, around Javorina, and in addition the territory around Lesnica in the Pieniny Mountains, a small territory around Skalité and some other very small border regions. Poland officially received the territories on 1.11 1938
yeah lets forget that the land that poland 'annexed' was actually polish to begin with as it was previously annexed by czechoslovakia from poland without any legal right. double standards
@@seushimarejikaze1337 Lolll. Then we can say what Nazi Germany annexed was German so it was right. Firstly we should decide what matters, international borders or ethnic/historicall borders. If we will choose the second one then God bless all humanity
I didn't think either that Putin was defending Hitler or blaming Poland for the start of World War Two, although I might have missed it. Subtext maybe? I thought of it more as him saying that Poland wasn't completely innocent as we all are used to thinking of Poland as the big victim of the war (for good reasons). Is it any surprise he views history from a very Russian perspective?
This conversation was like watching a mechanic trying to explain how to change a timing belt on a 1987 F150 to his dog.
Does anyone remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? The U.S. didn’t tolerate Soviet nuclear missiles so close to its borders. If Ukraine were to join NATO, that inevitably means NATO nuclear weapons on Russia’s border. Do we not see a double standard here …?
It is all forgotten
People don’t even remember the Iraq war. The US has a short short memory.
I believe the US also made sure to help mexico expelle the French as soon as the civil war was over and even gave a little help during the war.
Look at how they carry on about russian interference in there elections as if John McCain and Nuland were not at the Maidan openly interfering with that "sovereign countries political process". Or more accurately encouraging the violent overthrow of a democratically elected leader.Biden jokes about getting Ukrainian prosecutor fired, these actions while being standard prosedure for the US are illegal. Its that sort of political interference that deny a country the right of a democratic process of self determination.
The whole point of the Cuban Missile Crisis was attacking the double standard. The US had missiles in Turkey at the time, pointed at the USSR. The US removed those, the USSR removed its Cuban ones, end of story.
Ukraine didn't join NATO. What's your point?
Prof. Mearsheimer is such a measured and intelligent individual.
So the United States never seized territories? What about the Hispano-American war in 1898? Spain lost its world empire to the US.
@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Dude! Kinda of a different era. So we want to go back to the culture and geopolitics of 1898? That's awesome!

Thanks for having such a serious, wise, and distinguished scholar on the show. Whether one finally agrees with his analysis or not, he must be taken seriously.
John Mearsheimer is AMAZING, and has so much patience!
Fact that Piers challenging Mearsheimer about international relations, is like Joe Biden challenging Usain Bolt for a 100 m sprint!!
Piers Morgan is fully outclased.
🤣🤣🤣very true.
Mearsheimer's take on the West proviking Putin into his Hitler-like assault on Ukraine is like saying Gandalf forced Saruman's hand to make him join Sauron. "If Gandalf had just listened to my analysis in 5.432 of the third age, he wouldnt have smoked weed and provoked Saruman into joining Sauron and breeding Uruk-Hais!!!!!!1111"
A Chimpanzee could've made more accurate geopolitical predictions than Mearsheimer by just picking between options at random.
"Putin would never invade Ukraine, he's far too smart for that"
Right; but in this case I doubt Piers actually had a sense of how knowledgeable Mearsheimer is; had he known, he would not have invited him. I wonder if he will ever invite Ilan Pappe and embarrass himself even more; Imagine that: a righteous Jewish historian against the media elite plagued by a never-ending moral quandary!
16 minutes in and PM hasn't allowed his guest to answer a single "question" without talking over him and then changing the subject. And HE is concerned PUTIN is a narcissist, lol.
As much as I think that Piers often fails as an interviewer, here he actually did quite a good job actually. I don't know why you're saying that he hasn't been allowing to answer a single question. He's been allowing it all the time, while presenting counterpoints and challenging the interviewee. That's exactly what should be happening, it should be a "let's pat each other's back" show. That's how you get two different points of view.
@ernest1520 He wouldn't allow Mearsheimer to finish an answer and continually circled back to the same banal question of "but how can you believe Putin?" and then didn't even listen to the response properly.
Things improved once the subject changed, but that part of the interview was highly irritating. John handled it very patiently. Many people would have blown a fuse.
PM has a pure Westerner view of Vladimir Putin, who certainly is not a "poephol" (arsehole in South Africa). PM doesn't see the NATO interference in Ukraine.
Where's the truth in what USA and allies had to say about: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and the endless list of invasion, theft, destruction and regime change attempts?
People seems to forget that when Russia and Cuba was getting close America went to war with Cuba, so do they expect Russia to allow nato on it door step
It's because of people like John Mearsheimer that America is such a great country! What a gem.
Mearsheimer’s so patient trying to explain fact and logic as well as the complexity in international politics to people who can’t find these countries on the world map. Peir’s is sadly lacking with over emotional rhetoric, parroting the US’s lies.
Watching Piers go up against John Mearsheimer is like watching a five year old trying to argue against bed time with a parent..
Let’s give the guy credit for talking this out.
Exactly!!!! He’s making a fool out of himself
watching this interview made me realized that the best way to spend my time to understand the world affairs is to listen to the people who are actually experts in their fields.
I am glad I wasn’t the only one who got the same feeling from this talk!
Dr Mearsheimer is the fool in this debate.
It’s astonishing how ignorant Piers Morgan is on Russia.
You mean John Mearsheimer? Not Piers
Ah yes, taking facist dictators at face value. Do you also believe Hitler was a peaceful ruler that got provoked into conquering all of Europe?
he's actualy very well informed. the Professor, on the other side - speaks like a Putin's UI.
no wonder he's so praised by putin's trolls in the comments
He has had years of brainwashing and misguided beliefs. That type of thinking is built into his brain.
Putin is my president.
talking to piers is like talking to a wall with a poster on it, it cant help but spew its attached propaganda to you even in the face of utmost logical argument
Piers just cant let go of "Ukraine is a sovereign democracy"
He has it all twisted the wrong way around. He really just needs to LISTEN with open heart and mind to be able to understand the real reason behind every conflicts. He cant hear anybody else who try to explain what's happening.
If he would just pause and listen for a minute and think about what his guest said about how the war in ukraine started...
Guy on the left is less intelligent than my 14 years old daughter 😢. Must be very difficult conversation for Mearsheimer
No, he's a dumb cunning. Just a hypocrite.
@@SuperOZ1978 An opportunistic parasite.
@@SuperOZ1978Sono completamente d'accordo
Your dother is smart for 14 year old kid. And she learn with time. Pierce is grown old person and his brain are smaller and smaller with time. Respect to You.
Not to mention that he is also less capable of listening to anyone than most 14 year olds!
This interview shows starkly the limit of Morgan’s intellect and class
But the important questions is...did he ask him if he condemns Hamas?
Morgan is an idiot,should not even present anything. Immoral individual who refuses the facts no matter what.
😂😂😂😂😂
Pius’ tone sells him out. You can tell he is mischievous in his questioning. He agrees with the Professor deep down but he is singing for his super.
When you ask a question let the man answer it, without you interrupting him by giving your opinion just because you didn't like his answer.
Only reason I came here was John,I would never give Morgan the time of day normally
Same here.
Same. I look at his show when the guests are interesting. If the show is setup like a shouting match I also pass.
Of course! Who, in their right mind, would ever be interested in anything P. Morgan could say?
So am I
SAME
The host is so annoying that Mearsheimer's patience is so awe-inspiring.
Mr. Mearsheimer, the poor old man, doesn't seem to know that Putin is imperialistic. His former adviser and short-term representative in Ukraine, Vladislav Surkov, has published concept ( or doctrine ) of a neo-imperial vision of New Russia, which was largely welcomed by the Kremlin and, of course, accepted as the world sees it now. Mr. Mearsheimer should take an extended break and give the world a break from his blah blah blah.
putin is imperialist but america has pushed ukraine to this war which gave him a pretext to attack ukraine ukraine could have retreated from joining nato and see what putin will do next but america and britain and israel r only good at wwaing wars that s the only thing they like to do @@Andy-zw7ep
@@Andy-zw7epshut your horse mouth puppet
@@Andy-zw7ep Can you just read what you wrote? XD also he is laying out facts. He has no views. He was just stating "things that happened". Piers and his comment section sharing same IQ
Honestly there should be an award for this
It's amazing that Piers, day in and day out, agrees to sit there at his desk and get intellectually abused by ppl that actually have functioning brains.
Piers is focusing only on the persona "Putin" and not on the issue. Childish.
HUGE RESPECT for professor Mearsheimer for staying CALM during this interview. Chapeau!
would you argue with that Pierce fool? Let him sit on his hill
🌎 👏
Why do you respect a Putin apologist?
Brilliant man… versus shill for MSM narrative.
FACTS over feelings… Deal with it!
Prof. Mearsheimer should appear on mainstream media regularly.
He's a CCP sponsored propagandist. He's trash.
You kidding? they dont have him on for a reason too truthful for the sheep.
He’s been on PBS Newshour a handful of times.
Are you convinced that we are ruled by a criminal organisation that deliberately prevents balanced opinion from becoming public knowledge?. @@Albo96286
No chance because it's against the West propaganda 😢😢
How can you be wrong on so many issues Pierce? This guy spoke facts, period.
Piers comes across as a rural herdsman in Mongolia being patiently explained how the force of gravity works
You have to admire the profs patience though
That's a dangerous comment "I don't believe it, and I'm surprised someone as intelligent as you does" can very quickly be interpreted as a self tell
I’m glad Piers is still feeling a moral quandary about the genocide taking place
The difference between these two is that Mearsheimer is smart and Morgan just thinks he is.
Exactly the point !!!....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😂
The argument that Russia invaded a sovereign democracy is faulty: Ukraine is a Kleptocracy. Not all liberal democracies are the same, and if corruption is widespread then one has to question to what an extent is even a liberal democracy.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 👍
I don’t think it is about being smart but more about being informed on the matter at hand, and there is where Piers is lacking due to being ignorant
Pierce, you are intellectually outclassed here, you don't know what you're talking about other than what the mass media tells you. Mearsheimer is 76 years old and still sharp in this analysis.
Mearsheimer also once said that Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor was America’s fault. It’s hard to take anything he says serious. He’s a professional contrarian.
I came to write my first comment ever, but you've summed it up. So you deserve my first comment ever 🤣
Go back to whining about Meghan Markle dumping you Piers...that's all you are good at. You are out of your league here. 😢
I agree, but I will give credit to Mr. Morgan for listening and learning.
Mearsheimer has spent 76 years being wrong, it's all he knows how to do.
A pleasure to hear Professor Mearsheimer
I would like to see Dr. Mearsheimer advising the Whitehouse. (I'll make the call for him!) I'm a huge fan. I don' think that Piers is an "Imbecile". He brings up some popular points of view, with Dr. Mearsheimer giving very good reasons why or why not those views have merit. Poly Sci is a big interest of mine, but I am also interested in Dr. M's response to Pier's questions. Many of them are very good. I find this very useful, as it helps educate the public on some very complex issues.
6:13 "I judge people by their actions" doesn't seem to be the case with Israel, Piers...
He's been on their neck for the past month, what do you mean?
@@n00bminecraftyou must be watching a different piers
Our the UK, or USA.... Lets not forget how many countries these two natıons have invaded, occupied, pıllaged, and the millions that they have murdered.
@@nesk112 have the UK or USA annexed aka stole any land for the past 50 years?
Mr piers Morgan surely smeared and labelled many he interviewed before who never shouted at him but simply disagree with his unfounded accusations. Hence he has no credibility to point to importance of healthy debates, period. Furthermore, thanks to Prof Mearsheimer logical, reasoned and evidence based arguments, the wider public can now see the naivity and shallowness of Morgan over his previous attacks on people disagreeing with him.
How do you think America would react if Russian strategic nuclear bombers were flying 650 miles from Washington? This is exactly what happened before the start of a special military operation in Ukraine. And B52s flew over the territory of Ukraine, 650 miles from Moscow. But no one talks about this. Why?
But USA and Russia is not the same and can't be compared on equal terms. USA, although flawed, is better than Russia, and this has significance in any comparison. I mean this sincerely. That's why the people of Ukraine prefer the west over Russia despite their proximity to Russia. Ukraine is a sovereign country that wanted protection from Russia due to its aggression. There is no parallel to this on the north american continent.
@@richrdromaHere is your average American exceptionalism believer. If you put 2 nuclear bombs in front of his face, he is going to tell you the one with American flag is the good nuke, the one with Russian flag is the bad nuke, despite the fact both bombs pose the same threat to his ugly face
@@richrdromayou mean the usa engaged in a genocide? 😅
@@richrdroma
"But USA and Russia is not the same and can't be compared on equal terms. "
Special pleading fallacy.
" USA, although flawed, is better than Russia, and this has significance in any comparison."
What is your metric to constitute "better" does having pseudo-free speech laws allow you to conduct crimes?
I think not.
"That's why the people of Ukraine prefer the west over Russia despite their proximity to Russia."
What people want is irrelevant in geopolitics... because no state actually represents wants and needs of people living.
"Ukraine is a sovereign country that wanted protection from Russia due to its aggression."
This only applies to Ukraine but if China offered Afghans protection from the US you would cry foul.
@@richrdromaThere is parallel in Cuba and in several countries in latin america, including actions against elected presidents in Chile and Brasil. This is a fact, suported by USA government documents that came open.
I tried turning this into a drinking game, every time Mearsheimer looked incredulous at one of Piers questions, opinions or interruptions I had a drink. I blacked out and woke up with a major hangover.
John in brilliant!! He is brave saying the truth!
Piers Morgan isn’t smart enough for this discussion
Piers Morgan isn't smart enough.
He just proves....he is a total idiot. Such people like the Professor should not even talk to this idiot
John Mearsheimer isn't smart enough for this discussion. Anyone who believes that leaving Ukraine out of NATO was a good move has no business discussing the topic.
@@FeathersMcGraw_ you are just another ignorant person. But that's ok, no worries keep reading Facebook, and watching the TV...
Facts
good lord it's like watching a college professor debate a high school sophomore.
Listening to people converse is how we learn. It doesn't mean you have to like everything they say but being rude about them teaches us that you're just not very nice!
It's not "like" watching a college Professor destroying a kid, it IS a college Professor destroying a kid.
That is literally what we are watching. Mearsheimer is a professor. Morgan doesn't have a degree
Strange how John won't debate anyone just as qualified with opposing views
I don't agree with you. It would be great to follow the final agreement of both participants. Listen to the opinions of others, oppose the facts, but don't label them. World would be much better then.
Thank goodness a logical, unbiased; factual historian who has the temerity to say it like it is. He is not on any side.
I like the argument raised by this brilliant professor, we should have more of such scholars, similar to Kishore alike too.
If Putin was rambling, then what do you call Bidens attemts at talking ?
🤣
Yea this guy is a moron you just can't listen to him without getting a headache..
How about Piers’s irrelevant reviews of the past choices not made. It’s what is relevant today ! Ukraine doesn’t have nukes! Enough
Piers came to argue. Mearsheimer came to teach. That's the summary of this whole interview.
The one ignorant here is John. He relies only on what putin says officially like it is the truth, absolutely ignoring all the investigations of journalists, defectors testifying etc, which shows the opposite of what putin says. He evaded the question about how he can trust putin. He is either dishonest or absolutely ignorant of human psychology and can't distinguish narcissistic traits and lying like Piers can.
And that NATO promised not to expand to the east is a lie. First of all, there is no such agreement signed (in contrary russia did sign a document respecting other countries choice and freedom of joining alliances etc) Secondly, in the context of when it was mentioned it was about East Germany when it was reuniting with West Germany. Because West Germany was NATO and to the east there was Poland and other countries which were in Warsaw Pact and USSR satellites, so there wasn't even where to expand. And that doesn't even matter, because USSR ceased to exist soon after and everything changed and new agreements were made (like the one I mentioned about russia)
💯
@@TLouise1959 this is what i thought would happen, before even watching the vid
Teach what? His argument is that Israel should keep on sacrificing its citizens as long and its not in a 100% existential threat. He is def more intellectual than most of the previous guests but still insane argument to make.
💯👏
Piers kept interrupting Mearsheiear in order to trying to let the prof fill out his interview frame. But actually exposed his horrible ignorance.
Piers Morgan, " I've personally felt I'm in a moral quandary," statement of the year!😂
I really wish Piers would let Professor Mearshimer actually finish giving his answer
He never does. When something is against the belief of Morgan's bosses, he would interrupt and change the topic. He is a dirty sold soul.
Can't. Piers Uncensored is censored from logical debate by Piers. It is a western media trick learned from Russian dolls.
He is not able to listen and think
Piers is just a little unprofessional puppet, looking behind the camera all the time to get the signs from his co-workers.
Piers has a firm conviction that people who are anti Putin are correct. John is not pro/anti Putin and that hurts piers
Piers needs a refresher on the definition of the word *existential* threat.
Is that all you have to say? To criticize Piers?
Oh yes ? Tell us then what is the essential threat …
@@landronove4529 Hahaha you bot!!!
When you live in the first world, losing your wifi connection for a few hours is a disaster. Of course "existential threat" has little meaning to many people, especially people who practice their professions through media and screens, almost hermetically sealed from reality.
@@landronove4529 Listen to the interview. John gave him a good definition
"I will flip over the table before I lose at chess because it's moral"
Piers plays fast and loose with history. He forgets that Crimea originally voted for independence at the fall of the USSR. It was the US that made the agreement that if they stayed in Ukraine, they'd be 100% autonomous -- and in 2014 Nuland let the new Ukraine regime rescind that agreement - then Crimea went independent again before voting to join Russia.
I could write a book on Piers' blatant biases
Pierce, Morgan simply can't listen to any of the evidence being presented to him. That contradicts his argument. He really needs to learn how to listen
He's paid to deliver lines and ask questions. He's a UK gov mouthpiece. I really doubt any will ever know what are his real thoughts on anything. What you see in his interviews, is what his boss thinks.
Just watch him read all his points from the papers he always has lol.
I sincerely dont know why people that are exponencially more valuable to the human race that this actor decide to voluntarily go waste their time with him...
Propaganda at work. He doesn’t care what professor are said.
I think Pierce Morgan is very talented interviewer. He interjected some 'official
line' arguments to make it look a little bit like debate, but in reality this was
an interview. Pierce allow John to express himself with exceptional clarity.
Piers needs to learn how to think, because he is quite stupid.
Piers needs to learn history
Piers is a kind of guy that wouldve called Nelson Mandela a terrorist..
-Tate
Fact!
Well and South Africa today. A completely broken and corrupted country , economically a failure, crime everywhere, and mini genocide against the white people.
Piers is a weather vane of politics, you are correct he would have at the beginning but then quickly switched just before it became clear to everyone that apartheid was finished in SA. Mark my words when it's clear what has happened in Gaza, Piers will have changed sides just before.
@@BloatedScrotum You can see he's already swinging in that direction when he talked about his "moral quandry" he knows the tide is turning and doesn't want to end up on the wrong side.
Mearsheimer has always been known as the expert in these areas.
Piers should keep quite and allow the professor
I love how Piers still displays complete bias and ignorance on certain issues even after speaking with many experts on these topics. Then again, the people that pay him do expect loyalty.
A questionable expert. Very questionable
Pears is not arrogant but arrogant!
@@JanB56 What are your credentials on the matter, sir?
@@BocaoZ Wow of you want people with credentials, just listen to opposing voices, for instance criticizing the whole "realist" school of thinking
💯💯💯
Piers is an example of a man that argues just for the sake of arguing...but never producers evidence
And he is a hypocrite that changes his opinions on every matter like now he is saying that he is concerned over Gaza😂 but all this time before this he was pro levelling gaza to root out Hamas. But now when he sees that it’s no longer popular to support israel now suddenly he is changed his mind lol
the man hasn't got a clue.........of ANYTHING!
@@Vita_alpha All he can do is gargle Ronaldo's footballs.
Apart from when he highlighted that Putin was wrong saying Poland started WW2.
Arguing for the sake of arguing, even when he has no argument. TV entertainment. Speculation is not argument, obviously.
