Daniel L. Davis is a retired United States Army officer. He was one of the earliest military officers to publicly criticize the War in Afghanistan.
Davis is a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities, a Foundation of the Koch brothers.
Davis was selected by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for appointment as deputy director. On Wednesday, the Jewish Insider magazine ran a story against Davis ; neoconservative radio jock Mark Levin helped spread the Jewish Insider story to his 4.9 million followers; within hours, Davis was informed there would be no job.

A quotation from Frankln Roosevelt

   Perfectionism, no less than isolationism or imperialism or power politics, may obstruct the paths to international peace. Let us not forget that the retreat to isolationism a quarter of a century ago was started not by a direct attack against international cooperation but against the alleged imperfections of the peace.
   In our disillusionment after the last war we preferred international anarchy to international cooperation with Nations which did not see and think exactly as we did. We gave up the hope of gradually achieving a better peace because we had not the courage to fulfill our responsibilities in an admittedly imperfect world.
   We must not let that happen again, or we shall follow the same tragic road again — the road to a third world war.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)

Is "restraint" a more useful framework for US foreign policy than #isolationism? It may offer a middle path between disengagement and unrestrained global activism. A foreign policy scholar explains: theconversation.com/what-is-is

#Isolationism is all #US have to expect with these bipartisan fascist policies. Especially now that neoliberalism has failed dramatically and all countries will get rid of the neoliberal puppets imposed on us by the US, it will be hard to find allies on Earth.

But maybe #NaziMusk will do something on Mars, though.
