The roots of the ideology of US and Lithuanian politicians lie in universities

 

"Messrs. Kissinger, Shultz and Baker rose to their positions within a context of general intellectual seriousness. That culture has been absent for decades, owing in part to something Mr. Kissinger identifies in his most recent book, "Leadership."

 

Universities, he writes, produce only "activists and technicians," who because of their particular obsessions lack in general wisdom.

 

They have turned their obsessions into an ideology, with little regard for the national interest as millions of Americans understand it. They equate talk of geopolitics with cynicism, which explains the Biden administration's downgrading of morally imperfect but otherwise vital allies such as Saudi Arabia and Singapore.” [1]
