Winning cold war/space race/century on the back of hearty American stock like John von Neumann, Edward Teller, Henry Kissinger (bad), Werner von Braun (bad) and deciding immigration is bad/corrupting/weak
I also think ladder pulling is an increasing phenomenon in so many parts of life here (immigration, homeownership, law firm/accounting partnerships, tenure track positions, political/beautecratic longevity)
I fall asleep almost 100% of my opera visits this would be tough
I agree strongly but also think a lot of people weaponize that questioning process and it trains people to treat it as bad faith
"30 percent of CBS tv shows are JAG spinoffs. They will never mention Clayton Webb"

I guess the confusion to me is that I don't see how/why the current crop could be more set than during the 06 war, where GWB of all people thought there was a too far. How much is just the president's instincts flowing down and how much is a cultural change? Terrible either way obviously.
Which is bizarre because reigning in your client states shows you have power, constantly saying they should stop and never doing anything is weakness
I am confused by that in general since the history of entire relationship is lots of support but also pressure with leverage to not too far*, how did everyone decide to ignore the leverage part? *for a very specific definition of too far
