great debate nigas. best thing about it is that they got experts on differing sides and were able to have a civil debate with lots of good content. Mainstream media never has this.

starting from left to right:
- token vanilla young white man - pretty vanilla takes meh
- Stephen Cohen - Historian specializing in Russia. Probably the smartest one in the room
- token vanillla white woman - she was basically the young white man with a pussy
- Johnny Mearcheimer - ex CIA. He was the reincarnation of dear Dr. Ron Paul :cry
- Marc Gerecht - token warmonger tbh. Fitting he is a fat ass as well as all he talked about is how terrible the welfare state is, how we need regime change everywhere, we spend peanuts on our military and in the end told americans to get ready for war :lol

very omnious closing thoughts on near future by all :wow

We havent had a grand strategy for decades. Probably since Nixon.

We got a boner when USSR collapsed. We thought we won Sid Meyers Civ and binge ate on the myseries of fall of Communism and the vaccum that caused.
