I like Dennis Prager but you’d never know from reading this he’s had 3 or 4 wives. How Trumpian!
These guys just can’t believe a man who talks like a truck driver and kind of looks like one too, is president. It offends their delicate sensibilities even though neither of them is a Rose of Sharon. Personally, I don’t think Jonah looks like he bathes much.
And we are in a Civil War and it is violent as well. Do any of these guys watch Tucker?
That about sums it up. Trump offends the Republican country-club set. The trust fund babies. The American gentry. They prefer someone from "within the club".
In any case, Clausewitz saw military force as an instrument that states and other political actors use to pursue the ends of policy, in a dialectic between opposing wills, each with the aim of imposing his policies and will upon his enemy
Hence his,
"Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat the enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war. Pleasant as it sounds, it is a fallacy that must be exposed: War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst."
Goldberg is less well read than he imagines...
