MUST SEE: Prof. Mearsheimer, “Killing Without Purpose”

Judging Freedom – Thursday, March 27, 2025

Prof. John Mearsheimer is a West Point graduate who spent 5 years in the U.S. Airforce and, before going to West Point, he was an enlisted man in the U.S. Army.

Prof. Mearsheimer is a political scientist and a scholar of international relations in the realist tradition. He’s the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for over 40 years. This is how he defines himself:

“Above all else, I am an international relations theorist. More specifically, I am a realist, which means that I believe that the great powers dominate the international system, and they constantly engage in security competition with each other, which sometimes leads to war.” https://www.mearsheimer.com/

Prof. Mearsheimer — “I often think about what’s happened to the concept of truth in our society.

People just lie all the time. They deceive all the time. They spin all the time. You don’t know what to believe anymore. It’s a tragic situation.

By the way, where it is most apparent is when it comes to Israel — because there, you’re not even allowed to talk about how Israel does this or does that, or how the Israeli issue relates to this issue or that issue… And the end result is that people end up speaking in oblique ways about the issue at hand.

The level of dishonesty in our society is really just stunning…

It’s not just Donald Trump, though. The problem is bigger than Trump.

There’s something fundamentally wrong in this country. It goes back many, many years, in many administrations.

This is not to defend Trump for one second… But nevertheless, the problem is very deep. And I don’t know how we’re going to get out of the mess we’re in.”

Judge Napolitano asks a question about the killing of civilians in Gaza and Yemen: What is gained by the U.S. military with all this killing?

Prof. Mearsheimer — “I’m surprised that you find this surprising. We are, and have been, supporting a genocide in Gaza since late 2023.

I mean, there’s nothing new, here. And furthermore, if you look at our behavior in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria…

The number of people who have died — and we’re talking about civilians, women, children, elderly men — is off the charts. This is just standard fare for the United States.

If you look at Israel and how it behaves in the Middle East, these days — it’s shooting the works up in countries all around the region, and we support it. Nobody protests…

They decide they’re going to attack in southern Lebanon, they do it. They decide they’re going to attack Syria, they do it. We decide we’re going to attack the Houthis, we do it.

We don’t care about the Constitution. We don’t care about the law.

We don’t care if civilians are getting killed.

This is the point that we’ve reached, here…”

Judge Napolitano asks another question about Signal Gate, since all his regular guests have extensively commented on that major scandal, e.g. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern, Ambassador Charles Freeman, Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate, Col. Wilkerson and Col. Kwiatkowski, etc.

Prof. Mearsheimer — “Let me just add to the conversation, here. There is this word that seems to have gotten lost in our vocabulary. It’s called ‘accountability.’

Nobody is accountable for anything anymore.

I mean, you would think that someone would be held accountable for an egregious mistake like this.

You know, the level that Waltz and Hegseth and those folks are operating — you are in a “No excuses, Sir” world. [West Point discipline and terminology]

The national security of the United States is at stake. Your job is to protect this country. And you’re not supposed to make mistakes like this.

Again, a “No excuses, Sir” world. And when you make mistakes like this, you’re relieved of your post, period. There’s got to be some accountability.

But there is no accountability in the American system, which is one of the reasons — only one of the reasons — why we careen from one disaster to another.”

Prof. Mearsheimer — “There is this word that seems to have gotten lost in our vocabulary. It’s called ‘accountability.’

Nobody is accountable for anything anymore.

I mean, you would think that someone would be held accountable for an egregious mistake like this.”

All their racist, violent crimes and double-standards — meant to exploit, destroy and eliminate people of color — have been exposed, don’t work anymore, and they’re backfiring.
