"Why did so many senior officials tell Congress and the public, year after year, that success was on the horizon when they knew otherwise?
But a perverse incentive drove our system. To win promotions and bigger salaries, military and civilian leaders felt they had to sell their tours of duty, deployments, programs and projects as successes — even when they were not. Leaders tended to report and highlight favorable information while obscuring that which pointed to failure. After all, failures do not lead to an ambassadorship or an elevation to general."

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA: The US legal system is a joke. You can commit some of the worst crimes in US history like stealing hundreds of the most classified documents for years, mishandling them showing them to others and making them accessible to anyone who enters your guest bathroom, then hiding and destroyed those classified documents. Criminally trying to overturn a US election in several states, racketeering, and leading a violent assault against the US Congress member. Get charged with nearly 100 felonies, totaling a maximum of over 700 years in prison. But get the cases dismissed because you’re running for President and appointed your own judge. Be a convicted felon and still get elected as US president, people don’t vote with their brains in this country.

@IAPonomarenko: Why is anyone listening to what Russia wants in the war?
It’s almost like Europe and US are waiting for Russia to be ready for negotiations, so they can pressure Ukraine to give up 20% of it’s land in exchanged for no protection in the future.
