“Sorry you uppity Ethiopians. White western liberals demand you keep in the Stone Age and mine minerals to make luxury electric cars. Know your place and take comfort that you will help white rich people minimize their carbon foot print.”
Perfect summation of Neocon policy. But the problem is that while the Neocons and Western leaders were busy reading the seminal work “The End of History”, the rest of the world was not. What the Neocons are now learning is that “The End of History” no longer exists, if it ever did, and the US is simply no longer on the TOP OF THE WORLD, regardless of what they Neocons may want.
The latest is that one of the poorest and most backward people on the planet, the Houthi’s now control the Suez Canal (as they have for 6 months), deciding who can pass through, and who cannot...and the Neocons are HELPLESS to stop them, since they’re wasting all their time and equipment starting wars against China and Russia.
The U.S. Navy could stop them very quickly, if allowed to do so. Biden is not allowing them to do so.
