Yesterday, Michael Smerconish interviewed the Admiral while this morning Jake Tapper did likewise. Smerconish never mention Stavridis' Carlyle ties but they did run a banner with that information. Tapper disclosed the Admiral's Vice Chair role in his guest introduction.
The Carlyle Group is a politically connected private equity underwriter (PEU).
Neither CNN host noted Stavridis past statements regarding PEU interest in Iran's economy.
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu will be in Washington, D.C. tomorrow to attend Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral. I's sure the Admiral's recommendation would be endorsed by Bibi.
Trump nears his "bomb them back to the stone age" moment that ended up being a disaster for Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump II is five months into his five week war.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
Update 7-25-26: Stavridis supports Trump II;s deal sharing nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia.
Update 7-27-26: Jesse wrote:
There is so much wrong with the governance of the Western world today, with its tolerance of cruelty and theft and heinous murder, that it is difficult to even talk about.Moral hazard enabled this, with the gullibility of naive and angry people, powered by the corrupting influence of big money.
