David Frum and the Axis of Errors
21st January 2024
Writing in The Atlantic, David Frum, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and cheerleader for endless wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Global War on Terror, warns us that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election NATO will be wrecked, our allies around the world will suffer “potential disaster,” and “above all” Ukraine will be left to the mercy of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Given Frum’s track record of advice about wars, one wonders why anyone would take his advice.
Frum takes credit for Bush’s phrase the “axis of evil” to describe Iran, Iraq, and North Korea.
Frum’s advice about war should be labeled the “axis of error.”
