      The withdrawals from Syria/Afghanistan are an instance when Trump really is acting directly counter to the interests of “the establishment,” and the media has no idea how to cover it without echoing the failed establishment ideology of interventionismhttps://medium.com/@mtracey/notes-on-the-withdrawals-961fdcb5b454 …

      If you look at how this issue is framed in the media, the burden (from journalists posing questions) is always placed on those few who *want* withdrawals to explain why it's not a catastrophic mistake. Burden is never placed on those who want perpetual deployments to explain such

          Plus the consequences are always framed as caused by the withdrawal instead of the intervention in the first place

          The absence of any coherent articulation of "What specific US interests are, and why 'more of the same' (and only that) will achieve them" is my principal complaint with modern warmongering. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1076865297070600194 …

          Wouldn't matter as they always have some sort of nebulous boogie man problem that needs dealing with.

          I was skeptical at first but you @KyleKulinski and @ggreenwald have been doing this longer than me. Who have we killed in the name of counter terrorism, either on purpose or by accident. Do we even have any idea?

          Nor has there ever been a burden of the pro war crowd to explain why it’s okay to violate international laws to achieve its desired outcomes.

          I've seen two Rand Paul interviews on the Syria question, one with Margaret Brennan & the other with Jake Tapper. In both instances it looked like 2 aggressive prosecutors grilling a man suspected of a serious crime (Tapper wasn't quite as bad as Brennan). 1/2

          It seems like the default position has to be perpetual war everywhere forever, and you're expected to be a modern day combination of Demosthenes & Cicero to debate people out of it. It's ridiculous. 2/2

          Well, to this point it's because the establishment position of "Preventing ISIS" is pretty well known.

          All of cable news is framing. No investigative journalism. No hard hitting interviews. Just framing the stories of the day. The complaint used to be that they’re giving people the framing they want. Now it’s that the framing is relentlessly pro-establishment.

          And this is why i thought it was clever for Trump to not make a case for withdrawal. It's those opposing who have to make a case. And they cannot.

          It’s similar to when JINOs call tax cuts government spending w/out justifying why it’s the govts money in the first place.
