RICHARD FERNANDEZ ON OUR FECKLESS POLITICAL CLASS: Meeting Engagement.
It’s been more than 2 years since the Belmont Club article predicting a political showdown after the election of Donald Trump was written. Since then its scenario of top rival American politicians trying to jail each other has become an actual possibility. “Will impeaching Trump lead to indictments of Obama and Biden over Ukraine?” says an article in the Spectator. Rudy Giuliani asks. ‘Shouldn’t Biden be investigated over Ukraine if Trump can be impeached over it?’ Hillary’s in the mix too. . . .
Politicians could be psyching themselves into the very thing they purport to abhor. If they sincerely want to step back from the brink now’s the time. Otherwise their actions may at some point unleash a runaway train. As a Harvard symposium noted WW1 started by miscalculation. . . . Perhaps the worst illusion of politicians is that they are in control.
Yes.
