Except the points made in the article were made by this guy:

Stephen Bryen
Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy and the Yorktown Institute

Now, perhaps, you can tell us why you know more than Mr. Bryen.

Johnson been absolutely spot-on on the failed proxy war in Ukraine, which has been total failure.

Breyer's point was different, that the US attacked the source of the drones and missiles because they didn't have unlimited missiles to shoot them down. It was the clown Johnson who tried to portray Aegis/VLS as inferior to the much more limited capabilities of 1970's ships. VLS is vastly superior technology and easily reloaded.

And Johnson has been consistently wrong on Ukraine. He's constantly claimed the war was over, Ukraine defeated. He missed Russia's retreat from Kyiv. He missed Russia's loss in the Kharkiv offensive. He called the Kherson offensive a failure until Ukraine captured Kherson and forced Russia over the Dniepro River. He clearly overestimates Russia's capabilities. Everything he writes is anti-US, Anti-Israel, Anti-Ukraine, Pro-Russia, Pro-Hamas, Anti-capitalism. He was even invited by Russia to speak at a "multi-polarity" conference to bash the USA in Moscow, with Joe "Valery Plame's Husband" Wilson.

To show just how deep Johnson's hate for the west goes (all the way back to Christopher Columbus), here's a quote from his anti-American screed in Moscow, where he stopped just short of giving Putin a blowie, at least in public.

"We are blessed to live in a watershed moment in history. We are witnesses to the end of the era of the Western Colonial empires. This era began with Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama setting off to “discover” the world in the late 15th century. In the ensuing 6 centuries the nations of Europe battled with themselves and others for control over territory in North and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In the process they subjugated and, at times, enslaved, the inhabitants of nations we now call the Global South. I refer to this period as the era of the European Empires because, notwithstanding the internal battle for dominance among Portugal, Spain, France, England, Germany, all of these countries shared a common goal of exploiting foreign resources and populations for their own national benefit."
You have to read it all to fully appreciate his hate for democracy, capitalism and the west. https://sonar21.com/my-speech-to-a-seminar-on-multipolarity/
