True. MS Sarotte is unquestionably part of the establishment. She also wrote an outstanding and detailed analysis which helps explain the USA and Nato enlargement helped bring about the current crisis. As a general rule, I prefer establishment sources when it comes to USA government activities. Our experts and elites do a very good of documenting their own crimes. We in turn do a very good of not paying attention.
Likewise, Strobe Talbott, for all his considerable faults, was good enough to put some damning things on paper -- on official memos -- about the USA efforts in Russia during the Yeltsin era. I'm not going side with Strobe Talbott on nearly any issue, but I will use the documents he produced as sources. Etc.
On a similar note, I have some posts on the BioLabs in Ukraine. Yes, the Biolabs are real. Yes, also confirmed by multiple Pentagon statements -- all of which require careful parsing. Read them thoroughly enough, do some background research, and the results are mind-boggling. Just damning. So I don't ignore the DOD, either.
If MS Sarotte will document for us -- will admit -- how corrupt things were and how the election was rigged, how bad and how much deeper does it go? That's a question worth asking and answering, but IMO we start with what can be reasonably proven -- which is horrific enough. Then go down the rabbit hole from there.
