Halting a book publication in 2017 – before that doesn’t count; before that you were courting me – over a brief mention of the Afghan drug trade and then writing off someone as dead right at that exact same moment because later on they would not subscribe to a discourse that encourages pissing away their country’s air defense supply over a bribe from a foreigner, deep state, does not amount to the adoption of “Cold War Intellectualism” or “NATO Intellectualism.”
Your discourse encourages pissing away already scant money and resources in Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, all while we are paralyzed and helpless when it comes to passing a simple government budget. So it begs the question: is it even worth sacrificing an open and independent mind for a discourse that encourages the pissing away of scant money and resources all while it has become utterly impossible to pass a simple government budget? Send your guy over for a chat, deep state. The time is perhaps ripe for it. But of course, the better choice would be to flee unto God and run for the hills.
