Well, a "mistake" happens if you don't get what you want.
Such past "mistakes" have included the war in Iraq - which was planned by Cheney & his neocons years before 9/11.
Cheney secured all Iraq's oil wells - for his former company Halliburton, et al - within a week of the invasion. He also secured the US contracts for "cleaning up".
Billions of dollars for the military industrial complex could be called "a lucky mistake".
Well, those things I can agree with. It was an entirely artificially crafted situation, yes.
However, I was referring to Sullivans mistakes, which I'm sure he sees as "all going to plan", but that plan ends in a Biden defeat and a trump/putin victory, which would make him an agent of the kremlin?
As a "national security advisor", Sullivan is on the same list. American imperialism is entirely artificially crafted. All imperialisms are, no matter which party is in "power".
