Last night while I was heading off to bed, I suppose most of the rest of the nation was held in thrall by the media reporting on Trump’s military plans for Afghanistan …which are apparently exactly the same as Obama’s, and as HRC’s no doubt would have been. This is the betrayal Taleb castigated him for on Twitter on Sunday, presumably: doing the conventional thing, doing the war complex’s bidding. He’s just like the rest of them, in other words.
