Students target UChicago political scientist for sharing Ukraine opinion
The College Fix ^ | March 9, 2022 | Matt Lamb

Posted on 03/08/2022 10:27:30 PM PST by ChipMarne

Students at the University of Chicago are not happy with Professor John Mearsheimer – and they want the school to “remedy” the “problem” of his comments.

Professor Mearsheimer, known for his work on the realist approach to national security issues, has argued that problems in Ukraine are the fault of the West.

He gave a speech in 2015 that called the violent 2014 removal of President Viktor Yanukovych a “coup.” He also referred to fighting between two groups of Ukranians in the Donbas region a “civil war.”

The plainspoken academic is being accused of 'Putinism’ and being ‘anti-Ukrainian’ for his claims that the problems in Ukraine are the fault of the West.

You’ve got lousy “students” when they want to be the ones doing the teaching.

Of course, problems of war, international relations, etc. can’t be complicated or nuanced. Everything is either/or to those who usually are moral relativists.

It’s sure a turn from the 60s. Now the activist students are the enforcers of whatever government says. Lockdowns, masks, shots, Ukraine, etc.

And they pretend to be rebels.

I remember when students rebelled against government. Now they are it’s shills. I have only contempt for them.

So much for the myth of zoomers and millennials being more new-media savvy than previous generations.

They’re the biggest suckers, and they fall for every cheap bit of intel community manipulation hook, line, and sinker.

I imagine in reality there are about half-a dozen mentally-ill snowflake undergrads making a stink, the sort of people who everyone else on campus hates - but the media is raising them up.

If the West is the big demon here, please explain why Russia
hasn’t invaded Estonia and Latvia.

They are NATO nations. They are on Russia’s border.

This is all on Putin. He tossed out a demon shot to the
West, and our own people bought it.

Folks for crying out loud, Putin IS NOT on your side.

He is helping Biden and Iran together to get that suicidal
nuclear pact reinstated.

When Trump looked like he was considering using force
against North Korea, Putin moved his troops close to the
Korean Peninsula.

Have you seen a NWO type put down Iran or North Korea
getting the bomb and missiles to deliver them with?

No. The Left wants these things to take place. Biden is
out there helping to get it done. So is Putin.

The NWO order theory just doesn’t hold up if you guys would
do even a little study.

Campus Culture is largely infested with Leftist NPCs.

It is folly to think a Reagan Conservative or Trump Republican is anywhere near academia these days, whether as a teacher or as a student.

The campuses are crawling with teachers and students who are nothing more than psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and other vile idiots ready to “cancel” anyone who doesn’t think exactly as they do.

Academia truly is Satan’s playground, as the District of Corruption is.

There is NOTHING remotely healthy or good in such cauldrons of evil.

Not agreeing with your view. Do respect you, but I think Biden has thrown Putin to the wolves. There are secrets that are ready to be exposed in Ukraine… not looking good for the Uniparty politicians who will be caught hand in cookie jar.

That is a ‘Third Way’ issue > IMO.

I’m not defending some things the West has done there, but you
can’t toss the baby out with the bath water.

I do think the Leftists have tried to blow out this situation
into a full scale war.

Once this is over, there needs to be a James Bond type
effort to identify the people in the NWO, and take their
asses down.

Our Leftist party is treasonous. We know that. We still
shouldn’t wind up hating our nation. We need to vote
someone in who will clean this up.

We don’t say I don’t love my nation anymore, or the US is
as bad as every other nation. Simply not so.

Some bad things may be done in it’s name, but our nation
is not a bad nation. It’s time to study, indict, prosecute,
and put people in prison for long long sentences.

Putin is in cahoots with China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela,
Cuba, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Arabs on the West Bank,
and the Arabs in the Gaza Strip.

Those are not our allies and never will be. Those are his
allies.

Do those look like our allies? Do they look like people in
our nation sometimes side with? Yes!

Our Leftards ignore North Korea, Iran, the Arabs fighting
Israel,... Those people are in bed with the NWO.

Wake the hell up people.

Now is Putin on our side in the Ukraine? Hell no!

He’s on his side. PERIOD!

Not trying to give you a hard time. Nothing personal about it.

Take care.

I suppose my reluctance for Ukraine to join NATO, crossing Putin’s red line established from Russia’s history of being invaded via that region, would be considered Putinist by the University’s student Red Guard, even though I think Putin himself is a nasty, evil scum bag.

With all the pressures of the world being brought on Russia, and not on China, I can guess that Putin is not the globocommie in this act.

Leftists love Ukrainians almost as much as cold warriors do

Strange

Leftists hate a man many here think is a communist

I think it’s because he’s not commie enough and starkly anti woke

Odd times

Throw that into the globalist propaganda machine

If all these clowns throw us into a nuclear winter

They will owe

If there are enough survivors to extract it

Mearsheimer also blames ISrael for most of the Middle East/Arabs problems.

Look up his book on that and some of his columns. Nasty spud that guy.

That speech showed up in my YouTube homepage over the last week. That's probably how these students found it.

The activists are the enforcers of the Left. If it were a Trump Administration, they would be against the government.

Nowadays, students talk of socialism and revolution while often planning to be a drone in some woke corporation.
