The writer, Molly McKew, counsels status quo in U.S. foreign policy and ignores U.S. meddling in Ukraine (where they backed the coup and installed the new government), Georgia and Syria which forced Russia to react in defensive mode.
These 'tips for trump' sound like a list William Kristol would write up in the Weakly Standard. Seriously.82_28 wrote:Wanna start talking about "deep state" again, RI?
YES—where is the deep state analysis in Molly McKew's blogpost? Where is even a balanced geopolitical assessment? Where is the parapolitical critique of U.S. hegemony? Molly McKew has none. She lives in that overlap of neoliberal, neocon and generally big-money capitalist/fascist aims that have been plaguing the U.S. and the world for decades.
I don't go along for a moment with its "rah-rah America the Great gonna kick some more ass" exceptionalist tone. I have to wonder why this mundane blogpost has its own thread on RI. Is this the new baseline for radical analysis?
Lastly, could the thread title suck more? It's one way of looking at the situation (admittedly funny), but it's a gross simplification more given to the ordinary partisan forums or a Washington Post op ed.
These are strictly just my personal opinions. It can't all be gold.

you're tragically wrong, swallowing low-hanging propaganda fruit while poo-poo'ing mainstream analysis
As for the title for this thread
