Yeah like they will gunpoint every voter without being noticed. This is ridiculous. That bitch needs to STFU already. It's obvious who she works for.

Inside the Foreign-Policy Wizard's Brain

...Having spent two days last week at the George Bush Center in Texas in the company of foreign policy wizards, I must report that they are persuasive and plausible creatures. Whether in or out of government, they seem to know what is what and who is whom. Take the bright young analyst I met from a famous intelligence website. A few minutes with him and my brain felt like a scrambled egg.


He was an Asia expert, as all wizards specialize in one thing or another. Who better to ask about the growing power of China? Had he read Bill Gertz’s book on the China threat? Did he follow Gertz’s articles in the Washington Times?


“You have to be aware of Gertz’s agenda,” he said. “You know who owns the Washington Times.” (Wink, wink, hint, hint.)


“Does that mean the information is untrustworthy?” I asked.


“No, not at all,” he replied. “It’s just part of an agenda.”


“But aren’t China and Russia’s war preparations significant?” I probed.


“No,” he shot back. “They’re outgunned massively.”


Using my fingers and toes, not being such a wizard myself, I made a rough calculation of firepower. I recalled that China has over 200 combat divisions, North Korea has over 60, Russia has dozens of divisions at various strength levels. The United States has about 13 divisions — Army and Marine Corps. Then I considered the nuclear firepower equation. The Russians have 6,000 known strategic nuclear weapons and 20,000 tactical nukes. How could this wizard of foreign policy, this master of Asian affairs, dismiss the massive firepower and manpower of the Russia-China “partnership”?


“You want to talk firepower,” I suggested. “Look at Russia and China’s nuclear forces.”


“Those aren’t usable,” he said. “Nobody will ever start a nuclear war.”


Noting recent Norwegian press reports that the Russians had at least two nuclear weapons on the attack submarine Kursk, which sank on account of a tragic accident last August, I posed the following question: “If nuclear weapons are unusable then why have the Russians bothered to put unusable weapons on their attack submarines, in violation of promises; and why have they secretly shipped such weapons into the Kaliningrad enclave?”


“I cannot believe that we don’t have nuclear weapons on our attack submarines as well,” he said. “And besides, the nukes in Kaliningrad were probably always there?”


“But doesn’t it bother you that the Russians are lying to us about their nuclear deployments?” I wondered.


“No,” he said without pause. “We lie and cheat just the same.”


“Do you have any hard evidence that we have secret nuclear stockpiles along the Baltic Sea, or keep nukes on our attack submarines?” I asked.


“No,” he admitted.


According to our foreign-policy wizards, facts are meaningless. Such is the wisdom and honesty of a foreign-policy wizard — someone paid to think in circles within circles. The expressionless face, the intellectual flatland within, was almost terrifying; so I couldn’t resist asking my favorite question: “Don’t you think, in the long run, that nuclear war is likely?”


“Highly unlikely,” he pronounced. “Only a few dozen nukes would destroy the world.”


“But surely you don’t believe that!”


“Well, of course it wouldn’t destroy the world,” he admitted. “But it would be catastrophic and nobody would win.”


The wizard didn’t know much history. He didn’t know that every war is catastrophic, and many wars are fought in which nobody wins; and yet, the wars have nonetheless been fought. “States base themselves on rational decision-making,” he said with a blank expression.


Oh really?


Had he not heard that men are emotional creatures, motivated by desires and dislikes? Does he not know that reason is often the puppet of love and hate, infatuation and misconception?


The wizard’s method was now coming into focus. To make a series of nonsense statements was only the first step. The second step was the hard part, in which the wizard would draw circles within circles to build up an incoherent system of impenetrable stuff, strongly fortified against reason and common sense.


I could not resist testing the wizard’s skill. His fortress was one I had assaulted before. At its foundation was the notion that nobody would contemplate fighting a nuclear war because nobody could win such a war. In my view, only a poverty-stricken imagination could fail to see that the
lowliest suicide bomber sees his own detonation as a victory.


“If nobody could win a nuclear war, then why is China so hot to build up a large and advanced nuclear force? Why go to the trouble?” I asked.


“To have a stronger bargaining position,” he immediately replied.


“But if nobody will ever use such weapons, as you just stated, and a few dozen bursts will ruin everyone’s life, why would your bargaining chip have to consist of several hundred nuclear bombs as opposed to a dozen?”


“Well,” he admitted, “you can’t be absolutely sure that somebody won’t use them.”

Yeah it's crazy. Anyone who knew Russia well knew they wouldn't tolerate this. And yet the West just kept recklessly supporting them. They're either really stupid or they wanted conflict.
