David, you're absolutely right, including about Nina Turner, and there's nothing funny about that.

I have always loved your sense of humor David, and YES, we do need to call out the so called “ Progressives “ and their candidates need to be called to account on foreign policy.

Even such firebrands in the “ Our Revolution “ revolt within the Democratic party like Nina Turner from Ohio is very uncomfortable about talking about foreign policy and anti-war issues.

It’s a “ taboo “ subject because even Bernie Sanders has supported the war machine consistently.

I don't know; obviously I've attended a lot of academic events over the years. But on the one hand I would worry about blood pressure issues, although not my own; on the other hand, it could ironically turn out to be a cure for insomnia. In any case, we need to have a community in which academic discourse of this nature does not set the agenda, unless there is a real opportunity for an organized civil response. For example, it's important that the Democratic candidates for Congress be called to account for the views on foreign policy. That means that their "progressive" supporters need to be called to account.

 

Just my 2 cents, as Ricky Baldwin used to say and perhaps still does.

Debating America’s Grand Strategic Alternatives
Public · Hosted by Cline Center for Advanced Social Research <https://www.facebook.com/ClineCenter/>

Join us in Room 314 of the Illini Union for a public forum and expert roundtable. We will have five participants with more than a half-century of combined military and diplomatic experience hailing from the College of Law, and Departments of Political Science and Military Science (ROTC), and an invited lecturer from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). The discussion will feature competing perspectives on US foreign policy and grand strategy, including a wide range of opinions, ideas, and worldviews on questions like ‘can—and should—America police the world?’ ‘Can diplomatic cooperation or international law succeed where force fails?’ 

This event is free and open to the public.
