Nuke War In Ukraine? No Big Deal, Says Biden Ally

Thank you for the link. Here is a key excerpt:

RS: I should point out, by the way, that you were at Stanford and you are now—I mean, you spent that last part of your life at MIT, which is certainly an elite school. So they didn’t get the benefit of a good education, even though—

TP: I have taught at Stanford; I have taught at MIT; I have taught at Princeton, OK. And at Harvard. So I know what a lot of these people are, because they are very privileged—this is of course a generalization; there are certainly some extremely intelligent and thoughtful people among these. But a great bulk of these people are just completely in love with themselves; they are convinced that they know a lot more than they do; they will not listen, they’re not interested in learning—I mean, you try to present facts to them, they sort of walk away from you laughing. You know, like some—it’s like watching Law and Order on television when they have something about privileged children who get away with things in colleges or something.

And they are not experts. And it’s not a problem—it’s no problem at all that they are not experts. The problem is that they’re not interested in learning. So, you know, I had this character, a guy named Colin Kahl, he’s the deputy assistant secretary now for policy at the Pentagon. He doesn’t know anything. He was at Stanford, they made him a co-director of the center there. Rude beyond belief. And you know, he tells me at one point, I’m trying to discuss something with him—discuss something—he turns around and he says, I’ve got a job, I’ve got a real job, I don’t have time for this. This is a guy who’s at the Department of Defense, top levels now, advising Biden.

This is the danger. {ends snip}

We can't bring back the warriors of our Greatest Generation, whom also personally knew of the horrors of war with their ability to comprehend the now ubiquitously unimaginable devastation of nuclear war - and not what's cleaned up in modern movies or video games and some very talented YouTube prepper hosts. This detachment, coupled with hubristic foreign policy will destroy us all - at once or in a few short weeks after. As sick as Putin and as idiotic as NATO leadership is, our deep state and uneducated, mislead electorate will be our undoing.
