optics

Jason Dempsey, a former Army officer now at the Center for a New American Security, told the Post that the optics of a politically-driven mission could damage recruitment.

The optics were all about demonstrating that Russia has powerful friends, such as China, India and North Korea.

However, there is no way to consider any movie sequel to be completely divorced from previous chapters’ racial optics.

And yet the political optics of a housing secretary admitting she had not paid enough tax on her home were not easy on the eye.

What is shocking is how glaringly pretextual and retaliatory the optics are.
