Explain “but this”. You don’t think a presidential candidate should have the support of foreign policy experts?

Why would almost 200 experts come out for a small town mayor? We don't need another CIA supported president. Ignore the Gabbard part but see this thegrayzone.com/2019/12/17/n...

Anything else you want to share that doesn’t really support your conspiracy theory?

The article you linked discusses those assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan. I would recommend those who are interested in Buttigieg’s work at McKinsey to read that article to see if information contained there would affect their vote. Cont…

"But when it comes to his work abroad with McKinsey, he only drops hints about working on "war zone economic development to help grow private sector employment" in Iraq and Afghanistan. ...The book doesn't say exactly when or how long Buttigieg was in either country."

And speaking of McKinsey "They identify several key ways in which McKinsey has been directly responsible for a corporate culture that works for the benefit of the elite 1% rather than the wider workforce." www.theguardian.com/books/2022/o...

Buttigieg has a family history of career military service so it’s unsurprising that he pursued an assignment in intelligence. The Truman National Security Project has more veterans than any other group. Why are “progressive” so against national security & the military? www.trumanproject.org

That's a big jump between family military service and intelligence. (Aside-My father was a decorated WWII officer) But post Eisenhower (see Dulles) "national security" has led to numerous coups and govt overthrows: Iran Guatamala Congo Chile Nicaragua Afghanistan

Linking to an article in the Grayzone, authored by Max Blumenthal is *special*. Using documentation from a contributor to Sputnik & RT for questioning Buttigieg’s foreign policy support is dubious. Have a good evening.

Didn't say it was clandestine! Why the hell do you say you're being a tourist to that place? I'm just saying he ain't what you think he is. I'll leave it at that.

No- basing that on Buddigieg saying it in NYT I'm being lazy. I could find sources you'd agree to with same info but I'm watching TV If he should get elected president say in 2032 (if we ever have elections again) you will remember this after his actions reflect his ties to the security complex.
