McChrystal’s new book coming out —

Title: “Risk: A Users Guide”

Takeaway: we’re not doing a good job of protecting ourselves due to the fact WE didn’t unite as a country, he said. Rather, we fought dozens of ‘small wars’ as states.

The USA has separation of powers, sir.

To imply the only way we unite is by taking directive / mandates from an authoritarian & Unitarian type government is incredibly flawed.

‘If only every person and state confirmed’ — thats the translation. Checks & balances, Democracy, Bill of Rights would cease to exist.

“We always knew another virus was going to come & threaten a pandemic,” he said. “We not only knew it was inevitable, but we know how to deal w a threat like that through public health. & we blew it; we absolutely have flubbed the response.”

We knew this? Who? You & B Gates?

“And as we studied it, we concluded, we’re the big reason. You know, the biggest risk to us is us.”

BOOM!

They studied it. #simulation
& guess what? The People are irresponsible, so the Authoritarian Govt is better to make decisions on our behalf, ya?

What a joke.
4/5

Let’s not forget McChrystal worked directly w local & state government under no contract bids to manage all things Covid. But accountability doesn’t exist here.

Has it ever with Mr McChrystal? Botched War / botched Virus response — both using #COIN.
