Here's a summary of the article "President Trump’s Final Break with Neocon Ideology" by General Flynn:
Main Point: The article argues that President Trump has broken away from neocon ideology and the military-industrial complex by making comments about Zelensky and Ukraine that challenge the established narrative. Flynn praises Trump for speaking "truth after truth" and slaughtering "every sacred cow in sight."
Key Points:
Who Started the War: The article challenges the idea that Russia solely started the war in Ukraine in 2022. It argues that the West's broken promises regarding NATO expansion and the U.S.-backed coup in 2014 contributed to the conflict.
Broken Promises: The article claims that the U.S. and Western leaders promised the USSR that NATO would not expand eastward if the USSR allowed its member states to dissolve. However, NATO expanded numerous times, incorporating many former Soviet countries and Warsaw pact members.
Coup d'etat: The article states that the U.S. orchestrated a coup to remove the Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014 because he was "too neutral".
Russian Self-Preservation: The article suggests that Russia's desire for a neutral Ukraine is understandable, comparing it to the U.S.'s reaction during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Is Zelensky a Dictator?: The article details Zelensky's actions that it claims demonstrate dictatorial tendencies, including canceling elections, shutting down opposition press, and banning opposition parties.
Siding with Putin: The article defends Trump's understanding of Putin's perspective, arguing that achieving peace is more important than avoiding accusations of siding with Putin.
Funny that you should have so keen a judgment on what a dumbass can read. More to the point, are the rest of the population dumbasses? If they were, how could Trump have gotten elected? Why don't we be happy with its acceptance by normal people?
I get what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s the working class Trump voters that have the low attention span. Maybe it’s the welfare folks that sit home and are afraid of critical thinking…just a stereotype not 100% of course.
I've spent my whole life having an intellectual advantage over most people, and I curb myself incessantly to prevent it turning into contempt. So many people allow themselves that sin. I never give up on anyone. But the low attention spans come from undisciplined children (TikTok) and articles that are so poorly written they cannot get to the point in a timely way (plenty of those, and I have little patience for them).
In a way, I think the "podcast" approach to communication is at fault. I regard it as the resort of the mentally unclear---those who do not have the ability to formulate their message clearly in words. I think it has been proven repeatedly that the written word can be assimilated 4-5 times faster than the spoken word. It is one of the reasons that books can convey very complex ideas. Who has the patience to sit through a boring, drawn-out video clip? I regard it as a throwback to ranting at cave paintings. So, what happens is that the videos are trimmed and shortened to get over this impatience, with a corresponding dumbing-down. School classes are a concession to the fact that not everything is easy to assimilate on a first reading, so it has to be slowed down for ingestion, and allowance for questions and answers to absorb the key points of material. But even that has its limits of endurance, which is why a class is typically no more than an hour at a time per day for a given subject. (Sorry for so wordy. I got engrossed in thinking out loud. I have, in fact, taught classes and delivered complex briefings.)
...articles that are so poorly written they cannot get to the point in a timely way (plenty of those, and I have little patience for them).
Exactly.
I attribute this to poor vocabulary, the perversion and adulteration of the English language and the fact that few actually articulate thoughts... but rather parrot what sounds "more better" to updooters. 🙄😁
I agree with you. I prefer reading to videos if I want to really learn something. I’m finding even some intellectual college professor type people are so brainwashed and fear injesting anything but the approved narrative.
This is a perfect description of what’s happened. Though too lengthy for most dumbasses to read.
That’s why AI is here:

The attention span has decreased dramatically with Tik Tok.
