Яир Лапид демонстрирует свой недюжинный интеллект

And look who’s willing to pay: Georgia has a long border with Azerbaijan, a country where more than 90% of residents are Shiite Muslims. Anyone can cross the border, find an observation post on a small hill, and after a month he will know exactly how the IDF trains its forces; he will know how we respond when someone fires at us, what is our latest warfare doctrine, and how to build elite units.

 The Georgians proudly said that Hirsch came to “teach them how to build their own Sayeret Matkal,” the IDF’s most elite unit. Do we really want the Shiites to posses this information as well? I asked the major general.  He seemed embarrassed. “When you say it like this,” he said, “it really doesn’t sound too good.” So why do you let it happen? I asked. “I don’t know,” he replied. “Nobody spoke to me about this before.” 

И в собеседники выбрал такого же дурачка - генерала. Или придумал его. По своему образцу и подобию.

Ну, он всегда был "интеллектуалом", а значит - полностью оторванным от реалий.

В слове "интеллектуал" присутствует корень "интеллект". Последний просто требует сомневаться в своих убогих знаниях. Если нет сомнений, то это уже не "интеллектуал", а "интеллигент" (вроде кашеобразного русского понятия). А если полностью оторван - то "аустронаут из анттеллихентофф".
