I’ve just learned about you today, and begun working my way through your posts – all of which are competent and clearly communicated.
I think Americans are all bought into ‘no more foreign wars’. I don’t think they know the consequences of letting the rules based order decay and return to world normal as the conflict of civilizations and empires.
If you are saying we have no material interest any longer because we are resourced independent, and as disconnected from the world island of Eurasia and Africa, then that is true as well.
To claim that American ambitions in the pre and postwar period were other than moral is a bit of a reach – just the opposite is true, and mankind has benefitted profoundly from our efforts. And the world might be a very different place if we hadn’t made those efforts.
So the proper take is that we should have ended our project with the fall of communism – which is what drove our project – and let the world come to terms with itself. And in particular let MENA and the rest of the world work through the failure of our colonial project and the artificial borders we stuck them with.
And those sick B——-ds of neocon expansionism, on one end and woke expansion on the other – well, I”m all in with your casting them as the criminals they are.
But is it always the fault of the fools, or it is the fault of whose of us who know better who don’t constrain the fools?
A little blame all around I think.
Thank you for the work you’re doing
