Amid a diplomatic storm between Washington and Pretoria, the diplomat is promoting the admission of Afrikaners to the United States as refugees due to the alleged ‘white genocide’
He assessed that Afghanistan could be won through slow cultural conversion by unconventional forces, described as “multiple generations of winning hearts and minds”, and anticipated 100 years before such objectives could be achieved, saying:
We are in a war of ideas and we are fighting an ideology. It is easy to bomb a tank, but incredibly difficult to bomb an idea. We need a long-term strategy that discredits the ideology of Islamic extremism … We are in a multi-decade war and we are only 15 years in.
This isn’t even the craziest appointment he’s made, considering Charlies Kushner in France and Mike Huckabee in Israel.
FFS, this is who he picked as the US ambassador to the UN.
