Nice review article by Robert Kagan

... especially useful for people who don't have a good factual handle on the interwar period when fascism was ascendant and the liberal democratic "Anglo-Saxon" order was denounced as vile, corrupt, and nation-destroying.

Speaking of fascists, some idiot on twitter notified me that I've been added to his lists of ...

Nazi Sympathizers and War Crime Apologists!

Imagine my surprise! Big Grin

Given the other names on the lists, it's good company indeed!

I always suspected that about you, P*D…. Blink

And on a completely unrelated note, I saw you retweeted this. I couldn’t stop laughing...

I wonder why he didn’t mention the Lasker that Santos won in 2019 for creation of the COVID-19 vaccine…

Off-topic once again...

quote:
Scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos told his GOP colleagues Tuesday that he would forgo the House committees he’d been assigned, two Republicans in the room told POLITICO.

The announcement comes days after senior House Republicans seated the New York freshman trailed by a cloud of apparent serial fabrications on two committees: Science and Small Business. But even those lower-profile Santos assignments quickly became a political liability for Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s conference, particularly as Republicans scrape for the votes they need to yank Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

McCarthy told reporters that Santos’ move to step aside was “an appropriate decision ... until he can clear everything up,” adding that he had met with Santos on Monday. Any members named to fill the spots Santos is forgoing, McCarthy added, would take those seats on a temporary basis.

Santos’ move drew immediate praise from his home-state GOP colleagues, several of whom have already called for his resignation amid the growing controversy over his misstatements about his past.
