Douglas Murray make a Fool of Himself

I have commented favorably about Douglas Murray before, here and here. But he has been all over the media lately plugging his latest book, and he is alienating a lot of people.

He is a neoconservative who believes in fighting wars all over the world to suit his ideals. Currently, he is on the side of Israel against Gaza, and Ukraine against Russia.

I used to think that he was an effective polemicist, but now I wonder why I thought that. He is making a terrible case for these wars, and not addressing opposing views very well.

I do not see how there is anything to be gained by the USA getting involved in either of these wars.

Sec. of State Marco Rubio announces:

During his historic comeback campaign in 2024, President Trump vowed to close the book on a dark chapter in America’s constitutional history: the weaponization of America’s own government to silence, censor, and suppress the free speech of ordinary Americans. The American people responded to this promise by giving President Trump a landslide victory last November.

Everything this administration has done since then has been laser-focused on fulfilling the promises made during that campaign. Today, it is my pleasure to announce the State Department is taking a crucial step toward keeping the president’s promise to liberate American speech by abolishing forever the body formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC).

I never heard of it, but apparently my tax money was funding left-wing propaganda.

Roger,
I believe Douglas lives mostly in London, and considering what Islamic immigrants have done to the city with it's many no-go police zones and horrific Sharia Law, I can understand the animosity of it being in his country, but not the open zeal of going out into the world looking to tangle with it. First secure your own nation and get your house in order before even thinking about warring with another.

Douglas while relatively conservative by UK standards is also gay, and he knows very well what Sharia law says should be done to such people, and how Taqiyya is used to conceal such practices from the infidels (basically, us).
