This just sounds dreadful.
It also creates a messed up situation where now Trump can pretend that he would have done a better job than Biden is doing. And all of this was predictable half a year ago, maybe even last year. Does Biden have no control over the military? Does he want more with Iran? Is he incompetent? I just don’t know how to interpret this. Maybe it’s some combination of the above.
If you have any reasonable or properly informed explanation (unlike my vague speculation), I’d be interested to read it.
I think you’re correct. It’s all of those things. Biden is surrounded by Military Industrial Complex contractors and revolving door lobbyists. It is impossible to make an informed decision when everyone around you has competing loyalties.
The founding fathers formed the government to protect against the populist majority, when they should have protected it from monied interests.
