The warmongers and defense contractors desperately want perpetual war. I suppose what is going on in other parts of the world is interesting, but I am concerned with the ongoing destruction of our own country. The US just got chased out of Afghanistan by a bunch of goat herders, and yet some want to confront Russia and China? What a joke.
I fine your geo-political take, less than average.
1. We degraded the Taliban severely at the height of the Afghan War. Nobody, unless they are willing to bomb thousands of villages with civillians, will beat Taliban. Our only mistake, and it was a big one, was not leaving after 6 months. Bush was an idiot.
2. We don’t have to confront Russia or China (another story completely). All we have to do is provide a serious deterrent. Russia is the joke and will only advance when they see a defenseless victim.
3. Perpetual War theory is fantasy. If anybody wants a perpetual war, it is Russia. Except they are not willing to confront a serious military, only move a few pawns against defenseless pawns.
“ I am concerned with the ongoing destruction of our own country.”
A+
Our war is here. We have fought enough wars for alien peoples.
Never again.
