General Discussion

His grasp of real world politics was excellent and clearly expressed in these interviews. He said things that would make the MAGA piglets rage. His comments about the obvious dangers attendant on a Country that abandons its friends are very compelling, given a current President who has essentially withdrawn from NATO and red carpeted Putin.


But excellent reminder of the better sided of the man's intelligence and intellect -- the two are not the same. Neither caused his downfall and disgrace, which was due to his weakness of character, his fear that an undefined group of enemies were out to get him. (Also, of course, his ill-conceived bombing of Cambodia which gave the lie to his claim that he had a fool-proof plan to extricate us peacefully from a war we should never have allowed ourselves to get sucked into.)


Thank you, Polybius!
