Everyone wants to think there is always a "pragmatic" reason. It helps to think that there is always a rational cause for everything, every decision that is made. And we map cynicism about our own politicians onto everyone else,

Cuban isn't in charge here, in fact he literally campaigned for Harris. Trump and Musk destroyed USDS and 18F. At worst Cuban is trying to salvage something from the wreckage.

Stupid, pointless destruction. No part of this is efficient. 18F and the USDS were effective tools for modernization.

This is all total sophistry. Realists try to wrap Putin's decisionmaking in layers of geopolitical reasoning, when the dude literally compares himself to Peter the Great and uses 17th century maps to claim that Ukraine is an illegitima

FDR was opposed to imperialism, and so his terms for our meager involvement prior to direct entry into the war were pretty steep, as were his terms for the postwar order. Truman backed off on some of that though.
