This from @maddow is a perfect window into the prevailing mindset of elite liberal punditry these days: coming at Trump from the right to lament his call to pause US war games in Korea, and -- need i say it? -- inferring that this horrible development must be the fault of PUTIN.pic.twitter.com/cuDgHyDQPs
Here's the segment: https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/trump-military-exercise-giveaway-to-n-korea-suits-putin-s-goals-1254434371701?playlist=associated … and here are more highlights. There's something very sad about all of this:pic.twitter.com/pnAu95ET5U
One irony I forgot, worth bringing up in light of current freakout over Trump-NATO. The same week as liberal pundits decried cancellation of US war games in Korea (& @maddow wondered if Putin was the cause), the US led massive war games on Russia's border:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/us-army-russia-border-war-games-world-cup-2018-nato-ukraine-a8398361.html …
Maddow is a joke. Notice she refers to 70yrs of joint military exercises as a "pillar of U.S. national security strategy," which just so happens to overlap with those 3yrs in the 1950s when the U.S. dropped 635,000 tons of bombs and 32,557 tons of napalm on the Korean Peninsula.
In an interview with the Office of Air Force History, Curtis LeMay, head of Strategic Air Command during the war, recalled, “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off—what—20 percent of the population of Korea as direct casualties of war, or from starvation and exposure?"
Hmm. Guess you didn’t watch. Her show this evening was about how Trump gave away this and other bargaining chips to a fascist dictator for nothing verifiable in return. And evidently China knew of Trump’s intent to stop military training before Trump’s staff did.
The US gives (and has always given) military aid to *literally* 73% of all the world's dictatorships. You highlight "fascist dictator" as if working with one is out of the norm for us when in reality not doing so would be out of the norm.
Can’t imagine why North Korea would exhibit authoritarian tendencies after losing 20% of their population in a brutal war and living under threat of invasion by 20k foreign troops perched on their border and the constant prospect of nuclear annihilation for 68 years.
Right. One is Putin’s tool and one is a journalist.
I personally think she’s just a bad actress who’s clinging at straws and doing her best to make sure those 30k a day paydays keep rolling. Russiagate is her bread and butter, so she will use anything that is currently in the news that can be linked to Russia
A bad actress? Maddow’s doctorate from Oxford is in poly sci, not acting.
Yeah that’s sorta my point
Why would it surprise anyone? #MSNBC is part of the war machine along with the rest of the #MainstreamMedia. That’s why I don’t watch any of them. Don’t support the #MSM by not watching ANY of their programs. Not only will they lose viewers but also revenue!
MSNBS is part of the war machine? Not Fox News? Utterly ridiculous
Let's not be naive. They BOTH are. Pro-wars and international entanglements are bipartisan consensus.
