This Tom Clancy book analysis by @nise_yoshimi turns out to be a very insightful dive into the White American State of Mind.
Anyone curious about the way the US relates to other people and countries, particularly China, should check it out! …https://lateralthinkingtechnology.wordpress.com/2020/07/27/the-bear-and-the-dragon-a-review-or-on-the-horniness-of-white-americans-for-chinese-babes-and-justified-wars/

It's really funny and well written, which makes it worth reading on its own.
However, particularly with Amazon shoving Jack Ryan's Venezuela Regime Change Adventure on millions, it's easy to see that his garbage writing really is a blueprint for Pompeo-types.
Most of these "illustrious" figures predate Clancy, and held much more "prestigious" and powerful positions, but is there really any doubt they all think exactly the same? https://twitter.com/RodericDay/status/1285603816172380160
Some excerpts. The summary of the plot is hilarious, but frightening in an incredibly dumb way.
It's interesting to think about how standardized this nonsense has become, in the absence of any pushback whatsoever on the part of the "Neither Washington Nor Beijing" Western "Left".
I don't even know what to say about this bullshit.
Anyway, the way the reviewer highlights the differences between how the Russians are portrayed (vodka, manly, rivals) and how Chinese are portrayed (sexpot giggly women, cuckold men), is just a bracing snapshot of the "Mr. Sausage, Duke Nukem of geopolitics" worldview.
