Related to the constant denial of many phenomena, is the tendency to argue that stupid or ill-conceived state policies are mere pretexts for deeper, cleverer ends.

This is generally not the case, and I really want to warn against recasting every last instance of obvious stupidity as a genius twelve-dimensional strategic move.

The blunt truth is that Western states are massively powerful, and being stupid and heavy-handed is a luxury they can afford.

One source of their incredible power is the diffusion of political initiative downwards, out of the political arm, ever deeper into the ranks of the bureaucracy, the media and academia.

This is itself a profound source of stupidity, for the governance borg actually has very little strategic scope, profound problems with planning and execution, and acts according to an easily propagated oversimplified political programme.

There are other sources of institutional stupidity too. Bureaucrats are selected for their ability to succeed within their institutions, rather than for their breadth of vision; they act primarily to secure internal promotion and advantage, rather than to achieve specific real-world outcomes.

Nobody should expect our governments to be smart, above all because because they don’t have to be.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Elon Musk:
Like it or not, Crimea is absolutely viewed by Russia as a key part of Russia. Crimea is also critical to Russia's national security, as it is a southern naval base. From her point of view, the loss of Crimea is the same as the loss of Hawaii and Pearl Harbor for the United States.

Well, here I agree with him.
