Just click the links in the article, folks. They work. The old one you were linked to in the email was taken down but the new one is fine.

In the declining phase of the Roman Empire, emperors were apparently far too influenced by court eunuchs. The equivalent eunuchs in declining US empire are the generals and neocons like Krystal. Although they may still be in possession of their gonads, they've clearly had their empathy surgically removed by propaganda. A great example is Krystal's initial summary of all the wonderful accomplishments ("liberal global order") of US hegemony in the 75 yrs. since WWII. Vietnam, in this brainwashed imbecility "didn't go so well." and his allusions to Iraq were still focused on the millions killed by Saddam, without much reference to the millions killed by US "intervention" (propaganda-speak for "unjustified military brutality"). I've completely had it with referencing any of these imbeciles as anything but the sociopaths they are.

The video was "taken down", turned privated. Is there another link?

I just don't have the time to listen to word salad from a supremacist asshole talk about how war makes we citizens safer or better off. BTW The links don't work; perhaps put the times instead because this video plays. The YouTube page doesn't. Thanx for sharing this 'debate', Caitlin.The gall of that idiot(Kristol) is astonishing. Peace

I was about 40 minutes into watching the video and it froze, so I reloaded and it is now "unavailable / private". More evidence of the obvious - the empire's wars diminish freedoms at home.

YooToobe tells me that "this video is private." What they always say when it's censored.

I dunno, any semi-competent debater not obviously on the take ought to be able to jack up a turd like Kristol like a trained and pissed off MMA fighter beating up a computer geek, the way a pitbull terrier rips apart a vicious and neurotic cocker spaniel.

Why do I believe our political discourse is fruitless hot air designed to distract from TRUE reality? Our world is being manipulated by psychotics. Until the light is shone brightly in this direction, why bother?

There is a disturbing consistency to the thinking of psychotics like Silly Billy. When narcissism and greed combine they form a nihilism that results in chaos and disorder in every nook and cranny where they reside. The discordant reasoning of these people is on full display anywhere Silly Billy pontificates. There is a cacophonous explosion of verbal bile resulting in comedic confusion and cartoonish ataxia. Great scurrying and brow furrowing and harumphing followed by greater confusion. Kind of like forming a committee to form a committee To study the forming of committees. In the south, we call that stupidity.

Bill is a traitor just like many RINOs and are no better than the Dems & The Lincoln Project is a disgrace to Abraham's name. They are just about power and money.

And Horton won with one hand tied behind his back, i.e., without being able to place his arguments on a foundational critique of capitalism.

Thank you -- the two Q&A sections CANNOT be viewed - I got message "private video"

Questions from the moderator (where things really heat up) starts here.

-- Q&A from the audience (in my opinion is the best part) begins here.

As disgusting as Kristol is, it's important to remember that he represents our disgusting systems and institutions. Those are what we need to address, eliminate, or change.
