Mediocre interview, I think. Nothing really groundbreaking asked or answered with depth.
That said, I agree with her when she says that these two decades of war and terror we've inflicted on the world will be seen as dark times.
I say two decades because we've already been through 13 years, and only now are starting to show the faintest hints of slowing down the rampage abroad and the totalitarianism at home.
- happyscrappy 12y agoThe fascist West is no better than Russia or China. All Europeans, Americans, Canadians etc should be ashamed.
- cryoshon 12y agoI wouldn't go nearly that far. Russia doesn't even maintain the slightest veneer of democracy or civic empowerment, and China doesn't really have the capacity to enforce complete compliance from its massive population yet.
- DasIch 12y agoThat actually makes the position of the US far worse. The US claims to be good in some way, to care about freedom and human rights while at the same time they couldn't care less. China, Russia, Iran and other such countries - no matter what you may think about their policies - can at least be said to be honest. That doesn't make them good but it does show that the US isn't better, in fact they are quite a bit worse.
- happyscrappy 12y agoThe entire West is working together on intel. You can argure that Europe, Canada etc. are incompetent and weak but you can't argue that they are innocent. They are deeply complicit. But that narrative doesn't work very well.
- dang 12y agoPlease don't make sarcastic political jabs on HN. I know it's frustrating when people hold opposing views for seemingly poor reasons, but lashing out harms the (already weak) social fabric here, and makes your own view seem undignified.
- kordless 12y ago> Yeah. What we got was only an allusion to said "unrevealed secrets".
