Tucker Carlson · Harvard Professor Who Exposed the Israel Lobby Makes Another Shocking Prediction…

1. 1. Stephen Walt predicts Trump will be remembered as the most disastrous US president ever, but also as the greatest thing that ever happened to America's adversaries.
2. 2. Walt credits Trump with opening up a broader discussion on US foreign policy by challenging the bipartisan consensus, despite his overall negative assessment.
3. 3. Walt observes a sea change in public attitudes and a shift in Washington's intellectual landscape, with splits emerging within both parties and think tanks like AEI and Heritage moving apart.
4. 4. Walt argues that in the American foreign policy elite, hardly anyone pays a price for screwing up, and the same people keep getting reappointed to the same jobs and making the same mistakes.
5. 5. Walt proposes criteria for accountability: if someone repeatedly makes the same argument that never works, they should stop being given jobs or platforms; and if they are unrepentant, they should be treated differently from those who admit mistakes.
6. 6. Walt notes that the people whose careers get ended are often those who turned out to be right, such as whistleblowers or those who took unpopular positions and were later vindicated.
7. 7. Walt worries that the current media environment can destroy people for irrelevant things via social media firestorms, which discourages truth-telling.
