It had no personal info and I saw that he had among recommendations to follow, Glen Greenwald. OMG.

Ok. Many follow people they don't agree with. So, (as I recommend all do), I went further--his Wikipedia page and a couple of others and was fully reassured with this political scientist / academic's history and lack of conservative bias.

So, lessons learned. I will follow his Substack as well. But darn. These people need to include at least a short bio on their pages.

I didn't vet him much, was concerned he was from U. Chicago, but it seems a worthwhile perspective. He sure sees no upside to continuing the war.
