give people a podium and they will often make a fool of themselves...the proof is here on SI.


Much more likely, they will realize they have a grand opportunity to legitimize their rogue regime, and will use it. They will say soothing and semi-reasonable stuff, and the NYT will report them as reasonable, and the university will hear that they are reasonable, and all the academic and political left will believe it and clutch it to their hearts as yet another reason why war is never the answer and there would be no danger of war except for that crazed warmonger in the White House.

And the representative of the rogue regime will smile inwardly at the useful idiots of the West and return home, more sure than ever that there is no danger of interference with his plans for building his weapons.

It worked just like that in th 1930s, and it works just like that in the 1990s and 2000s.

The people in the 1930s had at least the excuse of novelty. No one had seen such a situation before. What's the excuse today?
