Maybe if US politics wasn’t so batshit crazy the self-proclaimed expert wouldn’t need to indulge his flights of fancy. Maybe try and fix that part first before suggesting an invasion of Canada you absolute casserole-brained fucknuckle 😒
The only sentence under Personal Life: "In a speech about globalization, Barnett confided that after having three children, he and his wife "adopted three girls from abroad – one from China and two from Ethiopia.""
what does "confided" mean? Footnote points to a website with his name—
Not even a good historian
"we are done building a world order — which we’ve overseen from 1954 to 2008"
He seems to be using the Suez Canal War as a defining point. Isn't that like some kind of neoStalinist argument?
The Seinfeld show has a quote for every situation, (Simspon's too), but this paritcular one was about the battle over the #1 Dad T-shirts. Jerry's response, said in a very Jerry tone, "I don't know how official any of these rankings are." WTF is an expert on grand strategy??
This guy can go fuck himself. If I have to choose between the EU (which we're not being offered actually) or the United States where one of the two parties are a bunch of very dumb fascists I will choose the former 10 times out of 10 ESPECIALLY when you're threatening us
Politico is owned by a German company with close ties to the ultra right wing. If Alexander Hamilton was somehow broght back from the dead and wrote an op ed, if it was published in Politico, I would not read it. Lile The NY Times, LA Times and WAPO ed boards, Politico has no credibility
Barnett is a hack who had some influence during the W years from his connections to VADM Cebrowski in the Office of Force Transformation. They promoted network-centric warfare and “global transaction strategy.” Barnett’s vision in Pentagon’s New Map included annexing Mexico.
Not the way to go- keep our neighbors as our friends. We take over other countries and claim them as our own, that will only justify Russia invading Ukraine and China in Taiwan.
Wrong message to give!
