In a country where 60% of federal discretionary spending goes to military, the military is (by far) the most respected institution, military references saturate politics, society, movies, and sports, and US is at war in several countries, we are all "militarized" to some extent. twitter.com/LBuitta/status…

But appeasement decriers are still far more prevalent, though they rarely admit to what costs they would accept to assure the US achieves all sought-after advantages.

There are also folks who often pejoratively describe confrontational policies as being examples of "warmongering" or "militarism."

It's a habitual practice in American foreign policy discourse to label foreign policy decisions, which do result into the US obtaining every advantage, as ones of "appeasement."

A beautiful tribute.
First time I met Janne, I was an unpaid intern sent into her office. After talking to me for 15 seconds, she asked stunned "why aren't you holding a pen and paper?!" and pointed me out the door. Never made that mistake again.

Friedman could write another column detailing what led him to this conclusion: Was it new data he synthesized? Change in his line of reasoning? Conversation with a U.S.-based taxi driver?

Good for Friedman to finally recognize this. For a book-length presentation of this thesis, see our new book: amzn.to/2RqowNB @speechboy71 pic.twitter.com/vRWeeaMOcH

My co-author @MicahZenko compiled the data on this and the story is a depressing one - life expectancy is going down; education outcomes are getting worse; political paralysis is becoming more pronounced; inequality is worsening ... and there's little hope in sight

Controls. A Thread.
Many well-known security incidents appear to have a common pattern. They are not the result of some awesome attacker capability to exploit some hitherto unknown vuln. or to realize a risk from some combination of controls weakness not contemplated.

And principled opposition to purposeful electoral disinformation should apply to anyone, regardless of whether they live in DC, Moscow, Beijing, or anywhere.
