"Completely disinterested in the roots and/or geopolitical context of the current conflict."
He should visit FR more. This is the problem of the left. They are silent because understanding the "context" is not important to them if it doesn't further the anti-American narrative. I read some recent Chumpsky pieces of text. He's losing it - talking about Turkey and Kurds - messaging to lefties to hold on to a country that we can say is "bad" and our enemy (rarely includes Arabs - can hurt those mass "buys" of his books.)
Someone said it's unpatriotic to oppose Corporate tax cuts? Don't know but his comment about ANWR shows that he is disinterested in the geopolitical context of the current crisis. He doesn't seem to buy the Leftie/Saudi Palestinianization plan, though.
Blissfully untroubled?
Well, I've considered them. One or two trouble me.
And he throws in religion? He should try explaining some of the "context" he thinks we are disinterested in. He should read up on some Rushdie
