I agree with basically the entirety of this article but I think Michael Tracey has clearly gone off the deep end in recent weeks. He's basically turned into James Lindsey but instead of CRT his great enemy is support for Ukraine. It's bizarre and honestly kinda captivating.

He did the same thing when Trump blew up Soleimani. Lost a lot of his followers, with no remorse. Whenever any big world conflict like this happens his main goal seems to be doing whatever he can to help avert escalation.

yes, and fairly thrilling. Didn't seem to result in a large counterattack either. Nevertheless, one would prefer something like that were approved by congress first, secretly I guess, if only to slow the ongoing surrender of power from legislative to executive branch.
Well, his main thing right now is arguing with people on Twitter who ARE IN FAVOR OF NUCLEAR WAR which makes them about the dumbest human beings on Earth. So I'll stick up for a guy who's smart enough not to be a hawk.

Fair point! Though we can all agree now that killing Soleimani was good though, right?

I think the thing nobody wants to admit is that when it comes down to it, Tracey is about as bright as a puppy.
