Why the War Party Loves to Call Foreign Leaders Insane
https://mises.org/blog/why-war-party-loves-call-foreign-leaders-insane
When the US government decides it doesn't like a foreign regime, it's become
something of a tradition for US politicians — with the help of a compliant
media — to portray those leaders as irrational, unhinged, or even
downright insane.
ut there's an even more important motivation behind portraying "rogue"
nations as being run by crazy people. It allows advocates for war to claim
that deterrence via America's huge nuclear and conventional arsenals will
not work — and thus these leaders present a grave threat to the American
public. Lipschutz notes: "if insanity or irrationality are to blame for wars
, deterrence cannot work to prevent them." |
