What is Reddit's opinion of National Security and Double Government?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I recommend the book National Security and Double Government by Michael J. Glennon. It goes into detail about why U.S. national security policy doesn't change regardless of who is President. The short version is because the President for the most part doesn't actually make national security policy decisions.

Yeah you already knew about some part of it I guess! This is why I both love and hate this sub. We know lots of things but I feel like we still don’t see the bigger picture. The more I learn about the this case and related subjects the more I get confused.

I haven’t read Ronan Farrow book yet but its on my reading list! I’m currently reading a more academic book on “deep state” called National Security and Double Government which explores how original “Madisonian democracy” was subverted by “Trumanite networks”. I highly recommend it. Some reviews:

No, there is no oversight.

The seeds go further back than that. '47 National Security Agency was the beginning of the end. From Korea to now...

>It's amazing that anyone still believes the "deep state" is something more than Republican propaganda.

You are wrong. You should read this this book. It explains how democratic decision making were transferred to hands of unelected officials in the US.

Although, saying deep state is fighting against Trump is kind of misleading imho. There seems to be 2 different factions in the US government. Bill Barr(CIA) and Rogers(NSA) seem to side with Trump while FBI and Department of State represents anti-Trump part of deep state.

Plus, even liberal media start to admit deep state indeed exists and we should actually celebrate them. Lol.
