  • West Point Reaction

    I was somehow under the impression this was supposed to be a strategy speech. There was an overt lack of specificity with respect to the military component, so I don't have sufficient information to assess whether this is more Counter-Intelligence or more Biden-esque Counter-Terrorism. Even the total force strength eluded' [...]

    Is that just delusional? Probably. But it now makes sense that [...]
