When you're analyzing economics or foreign policy you start from the place of it had better damn well be right or at least wrong for the right reasons and not some partisan or biased hackery. The EU deal with China is exposing the charlatanry of the Acela Corridor chattering 1/n
Because it was absolutely never based in getting it right or based upon what are the facts saying, it was based in nothing more than political reactionism. The so called think tank talent had no insight into what politics or policies these countries faced which hinder 2/n
Cooperation but rather is board game view of the world and some political talking points. I have written often about how everyone is for allies but there is not understanding of what motivates or interests those allies have. I'm all for international institutions 3/n
But there is no understanding of how those institutions are and were failing long before Trump. Instead thinking about these problems was motivated my political reactionary that bore little resemblance to the world we are living in. You may disagree or agree with me on a wide 4/n
Variety of issues but I assure you that my goal is 110% to get it right regardless of who that pleases. The flaming wreckage that is the foreign policy framework of allies an unicorns is junk political cliches and not worthy of actual reasoned insightful foreign policy analysis
