The ‘Realists’ Try and Fail—for Now—to Steal MAGA’s Skinsuit

JL;DR SUMMARY The appointment of Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis as Deputy Director for Mission Integration within Trump's administration was swiftly revoked due to concerns about his stark opposition to Trump's foreign policies and his lack of intelligence experience. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise.

Places mentioned

Washington, D.C., Washington DC, United States
"What hes done that has deeply offended the people that control Washington is that he has said he cannot support what the Israelis are doing in Gaza, that this is inhumane and it is beyond the pale for him as an American and as a Christian to support this."
Manhattan, New York, United States
"the Trump administration arrested 30-year-old Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, and announced plans to deport him for his leading role in the pro-Hamas demonstrations that roiled the Manhattan campus, where Jews were routinely harassed, threatened, and beaten by the pro-terror activists."
China
"Incentivizing American corporate giants to lobby for Beijing is just how China planned it years ago, when Henry Kissinger started Kissinger Associates a decade after the 1972 opening to China and began escorting U.S. business leaders through Beijings halls of power."
Iran
"Then this week, just as word of Davis appointment started to spread in D.C. circles, the Trump administration arrested 30-year-old Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, and announced plans to deport him for his leading role in the pro-Hamas demonstrations that roiled the Manhattan campus, where Jews were routinely harassed, threatened, and beaten by the pro-terror activists."
Israel
"Everyone in Washington, D.C., with very few exceptions, has decided for personal reasons that they are going to support whatever Mr. Netanyahus government wants to support, regardless of how many deaths that means among the populations of Gaza, or for that matter the West Bank, or ultimately anywhere else in the region, unconditional support for whatever he wants to do."
Syria
"In an April 2017 column, Davis criticized Trump for ordering missile strikes against former Syrian regime chief Bashar Assad for using chemical weapons on civilians; bombing Afghanistan; and sending two aircraft carrier strike groups into waters near North Korea."
Afghanistan
"In an April 2017 column, Davis criticized Trump for ordering missile strikes against former Syrian regime chief Bashar Assad for using chemical weapons on civilians; bombing Afghanistan; and sending two aircraft carrier strike groups into waters near North Korea."
South Korea
"In an April 2017 column, Davis criticized Trump for ordering missile strikes against former Syrian regime chief Bashar Assad for using chemical weapons on civilians; bombing Afghanistan; and sending two aircraft carrier strike groups into waters near North Korea."
Russian Federation
"Nonetheless, having been laundered for right-wing consumption, Sachs is already broadcasting Beijings message on Trumps tariffs here and abroad,. Last month, for instance, he told China Daily, owned by the CCPs Central Propaganda Department, that Trumps tariffs will squander [U.S.] leadership in global development, finance, and trade, and lose competitiveness."
Vietnam
"Given Chinas serial campaigns of mass murder against its own people from the Great Leap Forward through the Cultural Revolution and then the Tiananmen Square massacre and up to the current enslavement, torture, and execution of minority populations and political dissidents, theres a good case to be made that the CCP truly is evilat least as bad as Benjamin Netanyahu. And its a fact that China is responsible for many millions of deaths worldwide, including more than a million in the U.S. alone, after it concealed the origins and nature of COVID-19 after the virus leaked from a Chinese government lab in the fall of 2019."
North Korea
