Hello, the picture on the cover of the National Defense Industrial Strategy is not AI generated. It was taken by a photographer named Jonathan Mallard on a US Army base in 2023. Here is the source : https://www.defense.gov/Multimedia/Photos/igphoto/2003238618/
I may have missed it but in your surveys on the Biden administration, you do not once mention the genocide in Gaza and the administration’s complicity in the genocide. Maybe you could think why you have not commented on the genocide. It seems the most consequential atrocity since the Holocaust, and in some ways worse as it is being perpetrated in broad daylight and abetted by the US and UK. Would you have refrained from commenting if the victims of genocide were European, not Arab?
Also really - most consequential since the holocaust? What about Bosnia? Rwanda? Vietnam? 9/11? Either you are delusional or lack any knowledge of history
The examples you cite are terrible indeed, but I would say the genocide in Gaza is far worse. That said, I am happy to acknowledge that other people may reasonably disagree with me.
Still, even if you are right that there are worse atrocities than the genocide in Gaza (which by the way the International Court has ruled there is a presumption of genocide in Gaza), it is still a genocide, and the Biden administration’s complicity ought to have been noted in an objective historical assessment of the Biden administration’s record. Let the historical record show: the Biden administration could have stopped the genocide, but chose not to. I feel sure future historians will reach this conclusion.
BTW, A Tooze generally comes across as a fair minded historian. I feel his omission of the genocide in Gaza and Biden’s role in facilitating the genocide probably reflects a certain parochialism. If the victims of genocide were Europeans, he would not have so easily ignored it.
Biden's advancing senility was obvious for years. Caity Johnstone was pointing it out in 2019.
So who was running the country all this time, even as democrats insisted in the face of mounting evidence that Biden was just a little under the weather?
You are trying to say you were right about what? I love your books and chartbook and now also pay for FT thanks to those and Unhedged. However I'm not going to pay more to get more detail on what seems to be what other people I follow would say is obviously correct.
Has any writer compared Trump's campaign to that of King George III in the American revolution? The tenor of Trump's comments led to an actual assault on Jan 6th. Trump has not wavered since. His angry campaign comments have been in stark contrast to Kamala's cheerful campaign to keep America free.
Facts remain that the quotes from Trump all support that he advised his supporters to stay calm, and that the idea he did the opposite is made up rubbish where you have to resort to describing the "tenor" not the words.
I think you are looking foolish here.
Talking up Kamala's "Cheerful" campaign makes you look even more foolish.
I find this Chartbook too fragmented to analyze. Would like to see you write a concise organized summary of the foregoing, perhaps ten paragraphs in length. Then again, this might well be the makings of an entire book, and if so, godspeed!

because there is no genocide
Dem Q - OMG, how did this happen?
Answer - By design.
Trump was arguably the worst POTUS (maybe not, it's too hard to judge).
Biden has arguably taken that mantle.
Trump might reclaim it.
Harris would likely have staked a strong claim.
But you're falling for the trap if you blame the individuals rather than the system that throws them up. By design.....
The night we all reread Chomsky.....
What is all this stuff about Biden? Isn't he just the team Mascot?
Biden's advancing senility was obvious for years. Caity Johnstone was pointing it out in 2019.

Strange you mention the tenor of Trump's comments, given we all know the words implied just the opposite.
So he doesn't giggle.... he does actually make pretty funny jokes.
Your "Strange..." sentence doesn't make sense. Giggling is not pertinent.
Facts remain that the quotes from Trump all support that he advised his supporters to stay calm, and that the idea he did the opposite is made up rubbish where you have to resort to describing the "tenor" not the words.
