This is like saying during the cold war, to a patriotic American, “You want us to go to war with Russia and die.” What I want is a cold war with Russia, which they are already fighting with us, and we ought to be preparing militarily in the same way they are. Muscovites have nuclear bomb shelters and civil defense training. We have pot smoking degenerates in colleges who will die of starvation if someone stops paying their rent.
We won’t. We are decadent, degenerate, soft and effete. America is not a role model. It leads as President Obama famously opined, “from behind.”
If I was a Russian, I would say, do I want to emulate you? Of course not! The two countries are admittedly on opposite sides again but this time it is America that is in decline.
