SMOTI interviewed as a NATO expert on PRI is one of those truly bizarre through-the-looking-glass things you can’t believe could quite happen. Such things seem to happen more and more often these days though. It would be laughable on a yokel RWNJ talk show in Lubbock. For a national outlet with a heretofore decent reputation, it is just off the scale. These people are just following the ratings, no matter what kind of weird rabbit hole they lead into.
