David Ignatius, the unofficial spokesman for the deep state, pays tribute to Jake Sullivan in this Washington Post article. To write it, Ignatius interviewed Sullivan and “a dozen close friends and advisers.” That’s hardly the way to get a well-rounded view of one’s subject.
Brilliant young strategist? David Ignatius is officially unreadable. Jake Sullivan is a deluded incompetent imbecile. He has demonstrated literally no understanding of the world in any way whatsoever. The administration he served has had zero successes and myriad failures and under its watch the United States and the Western world have been weakened immeasurably. It would have been much worse had Sullivan's plans to stop Israel and protect Iran come to fruition. Is this all to be ignored because Sullivan served a Democrat? What has happened to the pundit class?
Sullivan is summed up by the article he wrote shortly before October 7th. How wrong could he be? Fortunately the Biden Administration provided the minimum necessary for Israel to re-write the Middle East map in our faor and for Ukraine to somewhat succeed. He wasn't a total failure, but his feting is ridiculours.
I refuse to choose - when measured by results both are equally applicable, although I would have phrased #2 as an intelligent person with no wisdom or insight, the people Halberstam decries in THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, always wrong, never in doubt.
My goodness, what’s next from the Washington Post, something like Biden faced tougher challenges than Washington, Lincoln, and FDR?? Thank you for reading the Ignatius “story” so I know to avoid it. Why risk a sudden gastrointestinal illness. Between Sullivan and Antony Blinken, our foreign policy has been disgraceful for all the reasons you articulate in your measured, and perhaps understated column.
As you implied, Ignatius’s goal is continued access to the Dem leadership and the Deep State. Plus he wants to continue to receive invitations to the DC cocktail circuit.

Is Jake Sullivan a "brilliant young strategist" or just a relatively young one?
I'm thinking (choose one) 1. A legend In His Own Mind, 2. Dumber Than Dirt.?

What a crock. It’s almost as bad f the Left issues these valedictories they will be believed absent analysis. Least effective foreign policy in awhile
