Professors at the University of Chicago will be like “you support building a liberal world order? That pales in comparison to my strategy of simply countering potential regional hegemons” and then not counter potential regional hegemons

all good (i still havent managed to listen to lauren but 'tis on The Backlog™ 😩), i went autist mode on you aha so thank for reading & grokking 🥺🙏 (with the scare quotes on 🙶❮❮{{backing}}❯❯🙷 understood)

this post has been & will be of inestimable merit. here be a blossoming rose of its fruits 🫴🌹🙏
