People actually thought that Putin was not subtle or clever? A force to be reckoned with? Really?

Re: Poking the Bear Again
the Neoconservatives were Democrats who flipped to Reagan in 1980
the reason they flipped is that the Democrats were soft on the Soviet Communists
when the Soviet Union collapsed, the Neoconservative coalition broke up
Post Cold War we entered the so called New World Order, and the Neoliberals have ruled ever since
except Trump, who played the Neoconservative card, which was don't start a war you can't win with Russia
Pottery Barn Rule, you broke it you bought it

National Review is the very definition of NeoCon: not one of them has ever been in spitting distance of a Democrat.

Re: Poking the Bear Again
so Obama wanted to flip Ukraine with a Neoliberal Velvet Revolution
by Cold War Neoconservative standards that's crazy, that could start World War Three
but whatever, Neoliberals don't believe in World War Three, so Obama went ahead and did it anyways
all he ended up doing was breaking Ukraine, inciting a New Cold War arms race over a trace
the Neoconservatiev position would be, that was a very bad idea
but we are where we are now, so you better be able to back it up with overwhelming power
the problem is that power is spread so thin right now, trying to be all things to all people in every theatre

I’m not a classical liberal; they are more conservative than me.

there were no Neoconservatives in 1955, the Neoconservatives didn't exist until 1980
when the Reagan Democrats flipped to the GOP

Neoliberalism is a product of the postmodern New World Order, the End of History
