I don't watch US TV news: I only get to see them when I am on the road. I mean, in France or the UK, you get to see impressive individual politicians. In the US, I never ever see one damn US Senator who is impressive, and who can speak intelligently on foreign affairs. What a bunch they are. They all speak in the cliched language that you expect from US politicians of both parties. I mean, have you heard them discuss Syria? One guy was calling for arming Syrian rebels, and the other says: there are bad guys there. That counts as intelligent discussion on foreign policy in the US.
