“The best week ever continues to get even better”

Seeing a Never Trumper on the rocks is comforting, if nothing else. Never Trumper Max Boot’s Ex-CIA Wife Arrested as Illegal Foreign Agent.

Let’s be clear: South Korea is an ally, not an enemy. But acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, while pretending to be “an independent foreign policy expert”? That’s a felony, and Max Boot’s wife has been doing it for 10 years — “allegedly,” I hasten to add.

In case you didn't know, or have forgotten, Max Boot is/was a fixture on CNN (Clown News Network? Maybe not) screaming "Russia, Russia, Russia" during the heyday of the Steele dossier, and more recently shitting on Republicans, and anyone who has a problem with the positions of the Left.

Jake Sullivan - The Architect of Disaster

And not just the Afghanistan disaster. Jake Sullivan Presides Over Yet Another Foreign Policy Disaster

The Forrest Gump of American decline?

He's supposed to be so smart - Democrat advisor to Presidents - which begs the question, "Is he sabotaging our foreign policy, or is he really clueless?"

Sullivan's extensive experience as an architect of American failure in Syria, Libya, Ukraine, Iran, and Myanmar, plus the fact that White House press secretary Jen Psaki is mysteriously out of the office, made him a natural choice to defend the Biden administration's handling of the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

Let's look at a couple of those issues.

Syria: When Russian-backed dictator Assad Bashar al-Assad was "warned" by the US (under then Secretary of State Hillary) that chemical weapons were a "Red Line" he should not cross. He crossed it many times and not much happened. (See "Or Else" on that score.)

Ukraine: Obama and Hillary didn't enfore the "Red Line" in Syria, so Putin decided the Crimea should be a part of Russia. Again. Do I need to rehash how that has turned out? Do we expect the rest of Ukraine to fall? That I don't know.

Sullivan was involved with the Nuclear Deal with Iran, the 2011 intervention in Lybia, Myanmar, and probably more.

None of these policy failures will hurt Sullivan's glowing reputation among members of the Liberal Élite. After all, his credentials are impeccable: Yale University (Phi Beta Kappa), Rhodes scholar, Yale Law School, Brookings Institution. He was a debate team champion and president of the student council in high school, where he was voted "most likely to succeed."

I'm sure he's Woke AF.

More on Biden and Afghanistan from The Other McCain

Because I cannot write about it. I'm still too angry. Gaslighting Biden’s Afghanistan Disaster

Robert Stacy "The Other" McCain says it much better than I could anyway.

Even many liberal voices in the media are dumbfounded by Biden’s big blunder, and angry about the dishonesty of his excuses and blame-shifting. A basic claim of the anti-Trump media — that Biden’s presidency would mean “the grown-ups” were back in charge, an end to what the elites viewed as the crude amateurism of Trump — has now collapsed.

The Buck Stops anywhere but on McCain's desk. And it certainly doesn't stop with VP Harris.
