I know nobody holds these slack jawed goons to any standards whatsoever, but Jamieson Greer going on TV and saying "there's no possible way it [the trade war with Canada] can really affect US well-being" should immediately trigger congressional hearings. If that's the case then WHY are we doing this

But it is of a piece with aggressive American foreign policy of the past forty years, which has made it a priority to completely insulate Americans from any and all consequences of the monstrous decisions its leaders make abroad

What Americans truly don't have, in contrast to almost any country, is a sense of vulnerability. We can fuck up in terms of foreign policy as badly as we want, no one will ever really threaten us militarily. And people talk that way, too, with no real sense for existential dread.
