John Mearsheimer, speaking 4 days ago, questions Russia's responsibility for civilian deaths in Ukraine: "You talked about Putin targeting civilians, or the Russians targeting civilians. It’s obviously very hard to tell what’s exactly happened here." youtu.be/hH3s7MRJkAI?t=… 1/5

"But with that caveat in mind, you want to remember that the Americans have been pushing to arm civilians in Ukraine and to tell those civilians to fight against the Russians. So by definition, in lots of the firefights that have taken place and will take place..." 2/5

"Russians are going to be fighting against civilians because those civilians are fighting against the Russians. So just remember, this is a very complicated business." It should go without saying – this is disturbingly detached from the reality of this war under discussion. 3/5

These comments show that Mearsheimer is either unaware of or rejects the exhaustively documented reports of widespread Russian atrocities against unarmed Ukrainian civilians. It seems that whatever information he is getting about this conflict is seriously off base. 4/5

There are reasonable disagreements about the general explanatory value of Mearsheimer's theories, but I think this inexcusable denial of the unambiguous facts of Russian war crimes in Ukraine and completely discredits his broader analysis on this conflict. 5/5

@DylanPrimakoff Mearsheimer called the 2014 revolution in Ukraine a coup. He's never been an impartial scholar, just an anti-American conspiracy theorist. twitter.com/SevaUT/status/…

@DylanPrimakoff Hm. 1/ He seems stuck on pinning the responsibility on US (Americans urged Ukrainian civilians to take up arms, so hard to tell what really happened.), 2/ He denies Russian territorial objectives there, even now. 3/ Does he acknowledge Putin’s aim to wipe away Ukrainian identity?

@RichardGS1079 @DylanPrimakoff IMO he has a quasi-religious approach that is essentially unacademic. "Realism" to him seems to be a (literal) doctrine which explains everything (rather than an *aspect* of politics, which I accept.) All facts must now bend to fit his dogma.

@AdamCai50927313 @DylanPrimakoff For a realist, he sure loves to moralize about supposed US "responsibility," but never anyone else's!

@DylanPrimakoff I think the main difference is the word ‘executing’ in place of ‘fighting’

@iamwhoisme
@DylanPrimakoff I'd like to hear his theory about what if it's just the historic problem of demoralized and poorly led Russia troops committing atrocities? As they've done in the past. Any consideration for that?

@DylanPrimakoff For “realists,” all wars (are or should be) old-time cabinet wars in which control of territory and population passes from one set of rulers to another with only the wreckage of communities and a new set of tax collectors and recruiting sergeants to indicate the change. twitter.com/dylanprimakoff…
