… Star Trek technobabble applied to statecraft.

It's Lacan ~~for reactionaries~~. I thought Sokal and Bricmont had put an end to so this but apparently not.

Still, the author is right that the US is likely #1 in being asked for effective action by it's people. And USians are begging for healthcare, education, and affordable housing. Even it's military personal just be calling for effective leadership.

The country may seem awfully powerful … but …

Damn right it's a paper tiger.

Oh look, it's discounted! What a steal!

And you're right, it is like Lacan (Lacanesque?) If there's one dude these sorts of people love, it's Lacan. Only Jung is more popular with pseudointellectuals.
