    The U.S. is moving backward. I went to public schools and graduated from Yale without any debt. Other of my middle-class classmates went to Harvard and to Stanford. We occasionally bussed tables, but it was not oppressive, and our public school education left us perfectly well-prepared for higher education at elite universities and graduate schools. This was Fiona Hill's experience, too.
    But Republicans and the right conducted a propaganda war to win the public policy debate, which THEY HAVE DONE. The result has been a more poorly educated United States with less accessibility to college, less social mobility, and less opportunity for outstanding scholars like Fiona Hill.

    Ms. Hill's assessment of Trump treating his expert advisors as mere "staff" just like he did in all his businesses, where he devalues them to the point of "cleaning staff" was so spot on and insightful. That shows just how smart this lady truly is. And her telling of how advisors had to come up with novel ways of trying to influence him by going on talk shows, since Trump seeing a person "on TV" somehow gave greater weight in his mind than if that same advisor was sitting in front of him in the oval office saying the same things. This is also how Fox News hosts were able to "play" Trump during his entire presidency by influencing him to change policy based on watching their cable TV shows. It's sickening and absurd to know this man once occupied the oval office. Truly the darkest years of modern American history by far.

      @@cacambo589 The expression "critical thinking" implies to be open to question matters which are not proven empirically or by scientific proof. The shape of the Earth, Pythagoras's Theorem, and the causes of malaria, for example, would not be open to such an educational process. Most people consider Socrates to be the father of critical thinking. The reason I consider such a practice to be important in child development is that it encourages young minds to be self disciplined. One monitors one's own views on a subject, is prepared to be wrong and ready to self-correct. Most importantly, it demands independent study, the development of ways to effectively communicate one's views, and to tackle problems in a non-self centred way. If you think such a phrase is meaningless, then its alternative title is Socratic reasoning. I suggest you might care to look at the findings of Scott Lilienfield on the subject, which are based on John Dewey's original ideas.
      When, as in better schools in my day, classical philosophy, rhetoric, and the creative arts were each important elements in the curriculum, multiple choice exams didn't exist, and a fine balance was maintained between pure academics, moral/cultural/creative subjects, and physical activity in schools, this holistic approach to learning and child development encouraged multi-faceted young people.

      I'm not so sure that was an accurate assessment. "Too entrenched" gives the impression of a false equivalence where there is none.

The Republicans are creating and anti-truth world of "alternative facts", lies, bogus conspiracies and false narratives to keep their supporters in an cult bubble of disinformation. It is brainwashing perfected. Fiona would be Fiona no matter how long she lived in America. Truth is truth, and only one party in America believes in telling the truth today.

Even had he listened to others he took credit for it. Never met a man who is smarter than anyone else in any field than himself. A man who has lived in an ivory tower his whole life going from one party to another and never even succeeding at any business endeavor he went after except a reality show that had followers that are basically still following him. This is not the credentials for a President, especially one who follows and admires men in the world who are oppressing their countries and people. Dictators. We do not need a dictator in the USA.

    Could you imagine if we had a Fiona Hill for president instead of Donald Trump? I don’t think Putin would have dared to invade Ukraine if the US had that kind of strong clear leadership.
    She is of course brilliant. I was awed when I saw her on C-SPAN during the first impeachment. The fact that the Republicans could not find it in their heart of hearts to impeach Trump after her testimony, showed a profound depth of dishonesty.
    Fiona Hill, you have my deepest respect. The integrity you’ve shown in your Career Of public service will stand as an example to our better selves for a long time.

    I look to the day when intelligent, educated, experienced Fiona will move into the drivers seat (political office) from just an advisory role. How she keeps a clear view of everything going on in the 'world game' (like Monopoly!) is hard to fathom! I'd vote for her on a heartbeat with what I know about her.

      I doubt she'd ever run. Usually principled people who work in civil service or non political positions in the government stay far away from politics. She's amazing & I hope her mind is once again helping our country against the authoritarian/fascist influences that are threatening American democracy.

    One of the great and lasting strengths of all forms of self-government over all monarchies is that forms of autocracy are based on inheritance and/or forceful grasp of power, not on personal attributes and character. So, it's the luck of the draw. Every now and then a monarch inherits a throne who actually has some exceptional qualities that benefit their subjects for a decade, or so. Then a death, or a coup ends the brief period of stability and chaos rules again.
    Fiona Hill is an example of someone with outstanding attributes and integrity rising in govt through exceptional performance and experience to a position where she rendered an invaluable service to the lives of many hundreds of millions of people in America, Britain, and Europe.

    I found this interview with Fiona Hill to be particularly interesting in three ways: one, her insights into Trump’s narcissism; the inherent misogyny against which she, as an accomplished woman, was forced to navigate against within the system (and especially within the framework of the Trump administration); and, three, her expertise as an analyst of the dynamic of Putin’s policies and Russian behavior geopolitically.
    It should go without saying that her insights into policy with Russia and Putin’s impact upon geopolitics were superb. It is telling to me that it doesn’t go without saying; rather, that I feel compelled to contextualize it in the framework of Trumpian misogyny to somehow give that due credence.

    Ms Hill is the ideal administrative advisor, she's a quick thinking, nonpartisan expert if she speaks about her subject, remaining strictly within her actual field of expertise and her personal experience as she does in this interview. Too many, almost entirely men, seem to believe any expertise, no matter how narrow or shallow, authorizes them to opine on all things as if knowledgeable while speaking rot. The former guy is an obvious example as were the people he surrounded himself with.
    The highlight of this interview for me was how expotus' delusions of grandeur and his habit of reducing women to mere secretaries providing Ms Hill the ability to camouflage herself from his recognition by changing her dress. As if she wore her forest camouflage or snow like she changed costumes. I dislike listening to undrafted talks because most people have the annoying speech habit of stalling by interjecting "um", " you know", or "right?". This interchange was so quick, insightful, and fun compared to the majority. Now I want to read her autobiography.
