Steve Bannon, Unrepentant (Phoned Am. Prospect co-editor for interview??)

[Neo-JacobitefromNewYork]

Article Page has been down a lot so this is on web cache, but wowza Scaramucci 2.0 without the cursing. Does brag about going to toss out his enemies in Departments of Defense, State, and Treasury. And comments about
Charlottesville will get attention but this North Korea/China bit is stunning.

Well, I thought Bannon was the worst in the administration, but at least he's not out to execute a death sentence on millions. Team Bannon on this one.

[Santander]

I agree with everything he said 1000%.

[Green Line]

Bannon needs to go.

[Neo-JacobitefromNewYork]

Bannon needs to go.

I think he might if he didn't clear the China/North Korea talk with Mattis, McMaster, Tillerson, Kelly, and Trump; unless this is them authorizing Bannon to threaten China on trade to get China to act harsher on North Korea's nuclear program. Maybe that strategy would work if Congress and business leaders would be on board for serious complicated trade reforms, but if this is just Bannon freelancing with his longtime China obsession, I can't see him not being Scaramucci'd

Does anyone realize Bannon was gleefully talking about an event someone was murdered at?

Nonsense. Bannon isn't that stupid, whatever his other faults are

It is nonsense with Bannon being former head of Breibart, yes. Should have owned the interview and not play dumb. And his identity politics/economic nationalism comments are very Machiavellian, but North Korea/China policy change suggested is drastic policy change.

I agree with everything he said 1000%.

We should immediately start a war with them and Iran.

[Famous Mortimer]

His obsession with China is off putting.

Additionally, given that obsession, it's weird that he would agree to withdraw troops from the peninsula, that would almost guarantee a Northern takeover with a decade (not through military invasion but through Southern appeasement of the North).
