You should try another song than the one you've been playing.
It's boring and ill-informed.
ad homs?
you keep telling me i'm not an "analyst" yet you really don't refute the fact realpolitik is the way forward.
JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE USSR, when we took the Kremlin at face value and created policies instead of demonization.
we stuck with Cold War tooth and nail, but we also worked for arms control agreements.
we had summits to lower tensions, not hyperbolic freaking out of "secret meetings" w/Putin
Kissinger absolutely nailed it ( my sig)
