Oh, I quite think you understand.
His piece, though prolix, is really quite simple.
Ukraine is not a sovereign country but a piece of real estate fought over for hundreds of years by all pertinent local actors.
Our recent war fighting efforts, save for dislodging Saddam from Kuwait, have had no success. And so we put our European advantage at risk in a fight that doesn’t matter to us.
But Putin is A Bad Man, so he must be punished.
Europe and our enormous influence there be damned. The lands of museums, symphonies, art, cathedrals, kings, etc. is becoming irrelevant. A good place for holidays (true, am currently in Rome), but otherwise non-consequential. As put succinctly by one of our policy’s most evil architects, Virginia Nuland, ‘f**k the EU.’
Bad Men like Putin everywhere must go. Because we are The Good, on the side of angels. And our defense contractors need the work.
That’s it. Foreign policy as done by dullards and simpletons.
Explained well by Stockman.
God help us. |
