  • Another substandard podcast

    It is interesting to hear a program on Foreign Policy “Realism” with someone like Walt. Walt knows nothing about “Realism”. For example he wants the U.S. to shift away from the ME. However, the Europeans have zero capability to protect oil and gas supplies from that area that it relies upon.

    While the leftist elites were in charge with Biden administration CFR was somewhat worth listening to because they were the same idiots who were screwing things up so bad. At least they had some idea of what the Biden administration would do next. Now when they are out of power they are completely clueless.
