We are where we are because of a vast right-wing media ecosystem funded by ideologues (plutocrats, theocrats, and the KGB) who have no profit incentive - only persuasion. Maybe pro-democracy countries should get in the game and fund some pro-democracy media.

Good Foreign Policy Is Invisible Successful foreign policy is largely invisible. It often means paying up front for benefits that are hard to see until you lose them.

I’m sticking with the argument @profsaunders.bsky.social and I made in @foreignaffairs.com 8 years ago: good foreign policy is invisible. www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/uni...
Today was a lot of things. It wasn’t good foreign policy.
