Professor of Political Science at Chicago University John Mearsheimer returns to Uncensored to discuss with Piers Morgan the return of President Donald Trump, the long-sought Israel/Hamas ceasefire and the grinding mud-caked machinery of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Professor Mearsheimer takes the surprising view that Hamas is winning the war against Israel, admonishing both Trump and Netanyahu’s continued push for the group’s total destruction. He takes a similar bullish tone on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, strongly favouring Russia’s chances of victory, though Piers makes the point that Putin resorting to using North Korean troops to fight Ukrainians within Russian territory doesn’t exactly scream success. Our last interview with John Mearsheimer: https://youtu.be/STBSaDn_q8g 00:00 - Introduction 01:49 - Trump, Biden and what the new presidency means for the Middle East 06:00 - Will the US attack Iran? 09:17 - "Israel's principal goal was to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians" 11:26 - "Hamas has effectively won" 15:13 - "There is no purely military solution to this problem " 19:00 - Can Mearsheimer see a normalisation of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia? 20:38 - Will Netanyahu last much longer? 23:40 - "Russia is clearly winning in Ukraine" 28:50 - "Trump's comments on sanctions are divorced from reality" 33:30 - Piers: "If Russia's so strong, why did they need troops from North Korea?" 42:00 - "Remarkably foolish of the West to not shut down this war a long time ago" 45:00 - Is it more likely China will make a move on Taiwan?

Donald Trump
“Piers I want to start by playing you a clip this was from your last interview with me in which you were not hopeful that whatever happened in the American election it would have any significant impact on the Israel and Gaza conflict”
Donald Trump
“I don't think that the outcome of this presidential race will have any effect on what's going on in the midle East the United States will continue to support Israel unreservedly or unconditionally whether Donald Trump is in the white house or Camala Harris is in the White House”
Kamala Harris
“whether Donald Trump is in the white house or Camala Harris is in the White House nothing's going to change”
Benjamin Netanyahu
“the IDF the Israeli military was suffering significant casualties in Gaza and the Israeli military which is configured to fight short Wars not long Wars is overextended and was beginning to come apart at the seams so the IDF itself was putting huge pressure on Netanyahu to cut a deal to have a ceasefire”
Joe Biden
“I think there's no question that Trump is a man of peace to use your phrases he is not a warmonger and I think that Joe Biden was a warmonger or is a warmonger”
Vladimir Putin
“Piers makes the point that Putin resorting to using North Korean troops to fight Ukrainians within Russian territory doesn’t exactly scream success”
