I guess I'm just less inclined to think that all of our enemies are idiots. I think there is strategy, and smart strategy too. They don't successfully turn communist countries like Ukraine into what they are today without a solid strategy of incrementally turning the fascism dial bit by bit.

There are certainly bungling idiots among them and the implementation is at times awful but generally there is a high strategy level occurring that we would be fools ourselves to not acknowledge the existence of.

I don't think all of them are idiots. I do think Elon is an idiot. I think another mistake is assuming everything that happens is part of some masterful plan on their part. That is a very demotivating way of approaching world events
