I’m sorry that some of the comrades here over-reacted a bit to your comment. It is completely legitimate to point out the biases of an author. I don’t completely agree with you, but you raise some valid points.

But also i think it is important when we read a piece like this to also judge it own its own merits. The author may have views we disagree with but those views may not necessarily factor very much into their analysis of a geopolitical event.
