I think incompetence comes when personal loyalty to Trump is the most important requirement.

It also helps that he can use any of these folks as fall guys, they’re not smart enough to realize it …

Reminds me of the attorney who signed the paperwork declaring that they checked Trumps home and he didn’t have any secret documents. Ambition got the better of them and Trump could discard them as needed.

It is the only requirement. Loyalty to the party and not a hint of anything suggesting shared views with any of its opponents.

The "defense of the West" narrative has become entirely laughable. The only places left to defend are parts of Europe, Taiwan and Japan, and maybe Korea at a stretch. And those now need to defend against the US, which has become a bigger threat than Russia.
