My long-term followers will know that I’ve argued for years that the FIC is managing a transition away from the MIC-dominated forever war model in the Middle East.
You’ll also know how many people told me that could never happen.
Trump: FIC good cop.
Netanyahu: MIC bad cop.
Whether you agree with that framework or not, it’s the lens through which I’ve interpreted events for a long time.
The key question was never whether the transition would happen.
The question was how it would be managed, who would resist it, and what narrative would be used to sell it.
Trump latest narrative won’t surprise my followers.
