Michael Hudson — Obama channeling Cheney?
Michael Hudson interviewed about the Ukraine.
Michael Hudson Obama channeling Cheney?
Interview by Jessica Desvarieux of the Real News Network
Obama channeling Cheney? I say yes. The foreign policy apparatus at any given time is generally made up of pragmatists and "cowboys." When the "cowboys" get the upper hand they purge the pragmatists, sometimes known as "liberals" or "moderates" but when a pragmatic president comes in he doesn't purge the cowboys aka neo-cons because he fears them. So he then has cowboys from the old regime making trouble for him on the inside as well as cowboys banging on him from outside like Cheney and daughter of Cheney. The result is the ostensibly pragmatic president ends up running a cowboy foreign policy by the "path of least resistance" principle.

ReplyDeleteIt's right out of the Cheney (CIA run amok) play-book. Mr. Hudson is providing further corroboration for what was reported earlier, yet suppressed in the MSM.
