Very true. I remember a lot of online progressives saying she should be a leader in the party. Hillary Clinton was right to call her a Russian asset imo.

??? I think you misunderstood my post.

Christopher Hitchens often brought this up. The Chomsky left abandoned the idea of solidarity against tyrants. Instead they became reactionary and viewed that no Western power could use force for a moral cause. For the vast majority of ppl my age this goes back to the Iraq & Afghanistan wars.

This was the same during the Syrian civil war. Back then I considered myself a progressive Bernie guy and that part of the internet was infested with Assadist apologia. It was an eye opening experience for me.

Not only do they blame NATO "aggression" they just end up parroting all of Russia's talking points because their foreign policy amounts to 'Merica bad.

Kulinski has had shit foreign policy takes for years. The guy is almost as bad as Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald 😑

I still think C Hitchens made the best argument for the war in Iraq. That being said Bushs admin really did bungo the war. Although Obamas hesitancy to take a hands-on approach in Syria Libya Iraq didnt go too well either. US foreign policy has just been 1 disaster after another in my adult life
