There has been, I notice, another and severe outbreak of 4-dimensional chess attribution among political commentary in relation to the current US President's foreign policy.
I would suggest that politics when it is Good is actually very simple.
Whenever politics actually is, or aspires to be, complex, nuanced, multi-faceted - then we should know that we are confronted with our old friend the Boromir Strategy.
Under all the rationalizations it's just another case of: Hey lads, let's use the One Ring to fight Sauron!
It's not that the US President and his gang couldn't or wouldn't play some kind of 4-D chess game; but that insofar as they do operate thus - then they objectively are on the side of evil.
And those political commentators and analysts who approve such modes of operation are part of the pseudo-alternative, but in fact totalitarian Establishment-allied, "Boromirosphere"...
They are doing the work of Satan; however they may self-identify or self-present as one of the Good Guys.
