Frankly, I don't know much about Fallows. But the way he is bashing the President, I think maybe he isn't a very bright bulb.
“exploiting the Nazi genocide to manipulate U.S. foreign policy for predictably uncouth purposes”
Granted, “Nazi” is thrown around a lot these days, particularly by the likes of “Antifa”, itself a totalitarian movement. “Genocide” is probably used less as a political epithet than “Nazi”, but when genocide is in fact practiced, it is by totalitarian or authoritarian governments, predictably leftist, or by totalitarian “religions” such as mohammedan groups like ISIS.
I don’t know a lot about Fallows, either, but from what little I can remember about him would agree that he is a very dim bulb indeed.
James Kirchick is a vile neocon who demands open borders for America.
There is no question that some people who want war with Iran have been using the Holocaust to argue their cause. There is nothing wrong with pointing that out.
James Fallows whose writing career, covering decades, is peppered with tomes with dire predictions about the U.S., all of which did not come to pass.
His ability to predict future conditions is burdened with the fictions he tells himself about the present.
