It’s why I don’t judge Biden to harshly when it comes to Ukraine (beyond that the republicans wouldn’t do shit for Ukraine). I try to listen to a lot of fp podcasts and I always get mad because every analysis goes “what Biden needs to do is to tell the American people what is at stake and that we want Ukraine to win.” I’m always…
It’s why I don’t judge Biden to harshly when it comes to Ukraine (beyond that the republicans wouldn’t do shit for Ukraine). I try to listen to a lot of fp podcasts and I always get mad because every analysis goes “what Biden needs to do is to tell the American people what is at stake and that we want Ukraine to win.” I’m always like are you guys fricking nuts? Do you have any idea who votes? They couldn’t point out Ukraine on a map and couldn’t give a shit if it was run by islamists. You really want to tell Americans how much it will cost for how many years? You want a quick NO or a HELL NO.
These very intellectuals really think it’s another time where a president can mold public opinion (shit Roosevelt was an astounding politician who literally had super majorities in both houses and still couldn’t convince anyone to send shit to Britain for 5 years). Obama who was an amazing political figure couldn’t get more than 52% of the vote. We just live in very different times.
If republicans think their voters will go to war in Iran or Taiwan I got a bridge to know where to sell them
Vietnam started off as a funding/advising campaign until the Turner Joy/Maddox. What happens if Russia starts getting desperate if we ramp up weapons deliveries and decides to hit an American-flagged ship delivering the weapons via a submarine-launched torpedo while denying they did it? I've yet to hear anyone in NatSec land talk about that scenario, and it could potentially draw us into that conflict. At best we'd start sending Navy escort vessels alongside the weapons deliveries and then hope that Russia doesn't engage the delivery ships with the escorts in place.
I still don’t get how these people are still giving us opinions on foreign affairs though. When you fuck up as much as they did you got to question their judgement. Have you noticed that everything is a nail to these idiots
I do too.
