Bannon wasn’t a N Korea appeaser. He wanted US power to be withdrawn from over commitment, as do many in the alt right. Of course this puts them at odds with Israel. He didn’t see attacking N Korea as practical due to the massed artillary aimed at Seoul. He is not alone in that reasoning. N Korea would have been wiped out long ago if it wasn’t for that.
He was pro Russian initially as he was interested in a pan Western alliance against Islam. Again, nothing unusual in the alt right. He seems to have fascist like inspirations. And he seems to be something of a Papist. Not that the Pope liked him very much.
A lot of people like to judge Bannon, but he is a lot more intelligent and capable than they are. I doubt they understand him. I am most curious about his latest scheme involving Chinese dissidents. What is he up to this time?
