I appeared in a debate with Herman Pirchener at the Westminster Institute.
You can watch the program below.
Word of caution: Out of politeness, I did not even attempt to answer all the claims Mr. Pirchener made in his presentation.
The Future of Ukraine: A Debate
Westminster Institute, Robert Reilly Director
Herman Pirchner, Jr. is the founding President of the American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC), a non-profit public policy organization headquartered in Washington, DC. Under his leadership, AFPC has hosted Washington events for hundreds of foreign officials ranging from the Prime Minister of Malta to the Prime Minister of Russia; conducted hundreds of briefings for Members of Congress and their staffs and, organized dozens of fact-finding missions abroad for current and former senior American officials.
Stephen Bryen is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy. Dr. Bryen is a leading expert in security strategy and technology. He has held senior positions in the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill and as the President of a large multinational defense and technology company.
Dr. Bryen has 50 years of experience in government and industry. He has served as a senior staff director of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as the Executive Director of a grassroots political organization, as the head of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, as the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Trade Security Policy, as the founder and first director of the Defense Technology Security Administration, as the President of Finmeccanica North.
Mr Pirchner is a great example of the deeply flawed thinking that's led to so many serious failures and breathtaking danger. His mind is solidly closed to data that conflicts with his thinking. We are led by idiots like him. God help us all. Only a significant political shift can free us. The Republicans keep proving why they are losing posers. It's the same for Democrats. Democrats as war mongers?! Who knew!?
I look forward to seeing Herman attend the unconditional Russian surrender of all occupied Ukraine.
Just a matter of time and resolve.
