“[Vindman] told lawmakers that he was deeply troubled by what he interpreted as an attempt by the president to subvert U.S. foreign policy.” Doesn’t the president set U.S. foreign policy?

He is a Russophile. He loves everything about Russia. He wrote many articles defending Milosevic and hated Wes Clark because he was responsible for the liberation of Serbia. He defended Milosevic even when he was designated a war criminal.

sub·vert
/səbˈvərt/
verb
undermine the power and authority of (an established system or institution).


Matt thinks Trump isn't undermining national security by extorting an important strategic partner (against Russia) by withholding military aid. That tells me Matt knows shit about anything geopolitical.
