George Beebe is a former chief of CIA’s Russia analysis who served on Vice President Cheney’s staff from 2002-2004.

Why do these supposedly left hexbear/ml guys keep posting articles written by wingers?

It's because the hexbear/ml guys are grown up adults who are able to engage with different arguments and perspectives even when they come from people we disagree with. It's absolutely incredible how libs are utterly unable to step out of their echo chamber.

More like you want to read your opinion echoed back to you and you really don't care if it's in the words of a CIA/Cheney ghoul or Charles Koch shill.

If you have any criticisms of the actual content of the article then feel free to share them. Sounds to me like you're projecting here being only able to engage with opinions that mirror your own. The fact that the only thing you care about whose opinion you're reading as opposed to the content of the opinion really does say volumes.
