That is the only reason it is being discussed in this space. Michael Rubin, of American Enterprise Institute and a Bush 43 alum, recently wrote a piece titled, “ Pakistan’s coming collapse should worry the world.” I know the title leaves nothing to the imagination. Since the global economic crisis is worsening, a long ill-managed economy like Pakistan is bound to feel the heat, and Sri Lanka, another financial partner with China, has gone through hell there is renewed talk of Pakistan’s collapse. The timing of the interview almost felt sinister.īut that is not all. Third, the country is already gripped by a recent conspiracy theory borne out of political instability. Two, with dwindling academic standards, even the educated class in the country is less informed, presenting fertile ground for conspiracy theories. One, Pakistan has had an unfair share of intrigues, coups, assassinations and, for the past two decades, acts of terrorism. But the main story is that a White House nat-sec dropout, a US recess appointee to the UN, Fox’s Frankenstein’s also-ran, thinks he is brilliant.īut as soon as he shot his motormouth, I knew one part of the world where he would hog the attention economy was Pakistan. Almost every nation of some significance does. The most important takeaway isn’t that the US plots coups elsewhere. As somebody who has helped plan coups d’état - not here but, you know, other places - it takes a lot of work.Īnd somehow, the lede got buried within the story. Tapper: One doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.īolton: I disagree with that. John Bolton’s interview is a case study in odiousness. How big is the universe, and how infinitely small and irrelevant are we, mortals?Īnd then one insignificant, irrelevant mortal managed to shock us on this tiny blue-green dot with his narcissism. Looking at it is always a humbling experience. I don’t think I have found a better wallpaper for my computer or cellphone. One of these images shows a part of the universe some 14 billion years ago. So, the Webb telescope captured various images of the universe in its infancy. Light might be fast, but it also has a speed limit and takes its sweet time to travel across an infinite universe. The telescope did it by capturing the sights of the ancient universe. And yet both managed to surprise us recently. The second, Bolton, is, pardon the rudeness, a prima donna, an attention hog.
The first unlocks ancient mysteries without drawing too much attention to itself. What is common between James Webb Space Telescope and former Trump NSA John Bolton? Nothing, to be honest.
