It’s not that we don’t see the seriousness of the situation or it’s ultimate conclusion.
It’s just that we know this is the consequence of corruption, the failure of the “Ruling Class”.
They’re the ones who have lost perspective.
Did they really think they could skew the game this way and not change history in dramatic and likely terrifying ways?
There’s no turning back now for them. The “Indispensable Nation” has been submerged, never to resuscitate. The only thing now is the inevitable cataclysm.
There will be no righteous fury on the part of a Free America to stop a new Donbass Republic, or help Kuomintang China preserve their republic. That America is gone, and the institutions who would do that are indifferent to it: Defense Secretary Austin will lead the charge? Air Force Chief of Staff Larry Brown?
Children with expensive toys that will go off in their hands.
The fell wind blows. Those who were held back are now free to ride it to their desires.
It will now be only a choice between complete submission or massive conflagration.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply and historical reminders. It does seem that shortsighted and self absorbed politicians are committing the same, old errors neglecting foreign relations that Democrats and progressives before them did.
Sincerely dire. Maybe preparations for self, family and community should be in order, in case contemporary special interests hold our politicians to stand fast until the worst kind of “conflagration” developed by mankind ignites.
On the appearance of willingness to submit and consequent costs, our nation assumed that posture in the past before the worst of times. Interesting and concerning that we allow it to repeat.
Some nations demand ongoing attention. Otherwise, their dreams of empire and frustrations turn to madness.
I'm afraid you may very well be correct.
America will take serious military losses on a global scale and never be a challenge to anyone again.
Even if we go nuclear, we will never recover.
