Isn't Mearsheimer a neo-con? He probably just thinks the genocide is a waste of resources when the US needs to be pivoting to China (IIRC that's his take on Russia/Ukraine).
I'm not sure, he calls himself a realist not a neocon. I genuinely haven't been able to understand or make sense of his whole ideological position in part because it doesn't seem like an ideological position so much as just describing what he sees.
He consistently makes the mouth noises that indicate he thinks killing people is immoral. I haven't heard him saying the US "needs" to be pivoting to China and I guess I'd be surprised if he had, because that's a pro war stance and he doesn't seem pro war. But I think some people who orbit him take that position
