The Great International Convoy Fiasco — Matt Taibbi

Summary:
Any sane person should be able to see where any of these ideas would lead. The problem is, we’re heading into our third decade of Western leaders embracing not thinking ahead as a core national security concept. It’s like these people went to anti-governing school. "Not thinking things through" = lack of systems awareness, lack of situational awareness, lack of foresight, and lack of empathy. Instead, fixated (obsessed?).There is something seriously wrong with the selection process in contemporary democracies, and that is something is largely money in politics that leads to serving special interests. The result is loss of public trust in government and the political process.Taibbi SubstackThe Great International Convoy FiascoMatt
