I agree with Glenn Greenwald's reasons for why no one at the White House is initiating contact with Russia.
The WH should appoint Obama as Secretary of State so that they would have someone competent to pick up the phone and call Russia to defuse this dangerous situation.
Glenn Greenwald uses the recent letter by 30 "progressives" to illustrate an ongoing problem in DC:
What's happening is immoral--impersonating a journalist.
Geoffrey Miller has written a new book on virtue signaling, putting it in a biological and cultural context. It's a neutral concept, necessarily a pejorative, that goes back all the way to the biological origins of humans.
This is worth it, but you need to view the VIDEO image on Twitter to see the effect.
