Three days prior to inauguration but relevant and disconcerting.
Many aspects of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition have been described as disorganized (at best), but his administration’s approach to foreign policy “appears” particularly rudderless, raising concerns among domestic experts and international allies alike.
The defining part of the article is the quoted word above … “appears”, and that is an opinion, not fact. LOL
ok, i can respect your point that you should work to make things better (from your previous post, not this one). but what i don’t respect is your constant brushing aside of every piece of information as being opinion, and not fact. the opinion of the matter is, that almost all information that is out there is not fact. if you can’t deal with finding the shadow of the facts by sifting through and weighing opinions, then I don’t know… ? i don’t know.
When the entire opinion is presented as fact, especially from someone that is supposed to be intelligent, I don’t know what to tell you. Opinions are like elbows, we all have them, it just doesn’t make them fact. I am totally okay with people not liking the guy, but we are supposed to be debating, not using our emotions to say that we are right and the rest of you are wrong. It’s wasted breath really.
You can’t just disregard anything that has a whiff of an opinion though. Read the sentence with “appears” again. It’s not the writer’s opinion that it appears that way, it’s the opinion of “domestic experts and international allies alike.” When people like that have an opinion on a matter that they know better than us, it is wise to listen and not simply disregard what they’re saying.
Maybe so but we have elbows just like them so all of our opinions are of equal value, regardless of how much information we possess.
