Since I was coming off of debating with you on Russia, I actually started off somewhat hostile to Bridge early on, because I was confusing some of his positions with yours.

Almost no one holds my position, because my position is that it is good for Western hegemony and power to be weakened. Even those who oppose sending money to Ukraine do so because they think it weakens the West. And those who support China or Russia do so either out of nationalism (which I know you think is my motivation) or because of some deluded belief that that is the communist position. But I think that the bad things that the West does will continue until it is no longer the world's hegemon. A bipolar world will be a more humane one.

But then I started to watch his videos

Did you see his video on extended deterrence? That's actually how I became familiar with him - because he came after a talk by John Mearsheimer about extended deterrence when I was watching and reading everything by Measheimer.

I think his position is going to be the mainstream position for the Republicans by next year & I think (and hope) he plays a major role in the next administration.

I'll be surprised. All the elites are united on Ukraine and having a major presence in Europe. Voters may disagree, but voters have no power, and besides, foreign policy isn't important to them anyway.

I would highly recommend you build up your account on there. You are able to reach a whole different level of person on there, and if you're able to make good points, you'll be able to engage with very consequential people.

It's good advice. I'm thinking of in what way I could best contribute to exposing the media and academics.
