      This is the Joker's approach to public policy.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1076856583756398592 …

      “Crisis” and “disarray” within the national security apparatus, as so many are now shrieking, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The complacency/obstinacy of that group has produced YEARS of terrible policy. Rattling them and upending their operating assumptions is a positive.

      You don't agree that complacency and obstinacy within the national security apparatus has produced years of terrible policy? OK then, difference of opinion.

      You could replace bad policy with good policy (my preference) or you could replace bad policy with chaos (your preference????).

          Precipitous withdrawals from two warzones, in a manner that circumvents the ordinary bureaucratic protocol, would be in the realm of "good policy" -- but the complacent and obstinate factions of the apparatus are describing it as "chaos." Because they're complacent and obstinate.

          Are you ever going to defend the Trumps policy on the merits? This is the first time you have said “good” but you were still too afraid to say it without scared quotes.

          It's actually not the Joker but rather the Jester. The only one who could tell the Crown the truth without losing their heads. In the current context, it is pitted against the militaristic group-think which has permeated both dictatorship of duopoly corporate parties.
