LOL! That reminds me of a Neocon propagandist posing as a “political science professor” that I took a few classes from back in the 2000s.

And even that was in a time of relative national unity after 9 / 11, and before another two decades of deindustrialization and financialization of defence contractors, and when the brutal-but-realist Kissinger-acolyte PNAC crowd was running things, and when NATO was happy to join in on American adventurism. Everything is different now.
