I like how this guy with literally no experience in international relations or military strategy or really anything even tangentially related to this kind of topic is taken seriously. He never won an election (not even a primary), was basically a low level corporate lawyer and business owner, and Bush made him the US attorney for a district in Iowa. Now he's the US ambassador to NATO because uh...he licked the right boots?
The GOP is fucking flooded with war criminals, at least put one of them in charge of this kind of shit
tbf, that's how every ambassadorship works out
Yeah I was gonna say, ambassadors are usually given those jobs by their friends in the government just for funzies.
why? empire should be ruled by grifters and drunks
I don't mean it as "they should do this because it's cool and good"
I mean it as "they won't even use the experts they have" and I find that funny. They have people who have spent their entire lives learning how to do these things and instead pick some random chud because he's more loyal
