@GhostsofDC But this video would be a view down 16th St. And an impossible one since the approach isn't uphill.

Pennsylvania Ave near the Archives could have looked like this. 1964 plan: 10 tunnels underground. An 800×900 ft National Square. A monumental White House gate. Pennsylvania Avenue paved in brick. MoMA exhibited the model. None of it was ever built. ghostsofdc.org/2014/04/22/nev…

All of this, of course, but add to it his preferred strategy was employed, by two administrations over 8 years, with no discernible positive results. This is what happens when you outsource USFP to a moron.

@DovSFriedman I'm of the opinion that it's hard to predict how political arguments land (in either direction), but it does seem like ME and MI Senate races might provide data on this.

@mr_resnick I think that line of attack is mostly a spent force, but they do think of new and creative ways to lie and malign.

I think this fundamentally misunderstands lobbying. Successful politicians don't take unpopular positions for money (at least not for more than a cycle). They take popular or neutral positions and get rewarded by PACs until those positions lose steam.

Yes, ultimately it’s the fault of Trump, but this war didn’t come out of nowhere. AIPAC and AIPAC-bought politicians spent years laying groundwork for it by wildly overstating the threat, closing off diplomatic paths and attacking anyone who proposed non-military alternatives.

@DovSFriedman Why is this hard? If you claimed that Austria or Singapore (similar population and GDP) controlled the US, no one would take it seriously. Lobbying organizations that support Israel are only successful in as much as their cause has voter support or indifference (like all issues.)

@DovSFriedman Sure, but that's not really measurable in dollars. The sports growth rate in this chart is not so different from the tuition growth rate at my kids' school. You may recall that the last presidential election was won on affordability concerns.

@DovSFriedman It's true that attempting to go nuclear is a waste of resources. Succeeding is an entirely different matter. That said, the sub-nuclear countries we have taken issue with have had various other objectionable behaviors. Not sure we would invade Kiribati for nuclearization.

Achievement unlocked: got an AI to tell me--unequivocally--that my idea was bad.

@DovSFriedman I think as a matter of math, once N is that small, the assets are functionally in charge.

Anyone considering whether, as N number of Israeli targeted assassinations goes up, it increases the likelihood that regime remnants can figure out who the Israeli assets are by process of elimination?
