    What passes as complex in the minds of the NYT is basically just saying “both sides, but really we gotta keep killing them kids”.

      The vibe is that it’s a ~3,000 word or longer article. ~5,000 words? Anyway - something hefty. In reality it’s ~500 words. And the important stuff is in the second half which I quoted. But I assume for SEO reasons that “Great Man Obama Goes on Aides’ Podcast” was a SEO loser so they went with something that had seeming gravitas.
