Otherwise you risk Solnit’s ire for using the thought-crime word ‘weak.’ As she sexistsplains here: “They sent a pink lifeboat and we sent it back, because we wanted a blue lifeboat, and now we are very upset that people are drowning.”
I take it as a promising sign that as soon as Clinton was defeated the U.S. turned against its Al Qaeda and Daesh allies in Syria. Makes you wonder how much of the demented Obama White House Middle-Eastern strategy has been either hers or meant to be in continuity with the expectation of hers in the new administration. The coming war may be averted yet.
