TR great? Great but terrible, dishonest, and tyrannical. TR a nationalist and an internationalist? TR sold out the Koreans to the Japanese because he thought the Japanese were a better race. TR sold out the Russians to the Japanese through chicanery. The Russians would have crushed the Japanese had they continued to fight. The Japanese were at the end of their rope when TR fooled the Russians into talking peace. TR a realist? That’s a joke. A realist wouldn’t have created the Bull Moose Party. A realist wouldn’t have turned the country over to racist Woodrow Wilson. Karma got the bastard. He lost his son in the Great War which he vigorously argued the the US should fight. And for what? England defeating Germany? We had no business fighting in the Great War.
