Forbes Media chairman Steve Forbes and FBN's Larry Kudlow discuss the "moral rot" threatening Western civilization:
STEVE FORBES: Well, that's the shock. We saw the antisemitism of the 1930s, we saw what happened in Germany and elsewhere. At least in this country, you didn't have it out in the open like we have today. So it's come out in the open. But the shameful and shocking thing is our civic leaders have not confronted it. They coddle it rather than condemning it. They don't want to seem judgmental. Somebody might criticize them. What it sets up is an environment where bad things can happen. They see the United States not being open to real diversity anymore, the real kind of diversity that made this a great melting pot, as well. So in terms of that anti-semitism, it's a sign of the rot of the times, a sign of the rot of our institutions, our educational institutions, that these leaders could go before Congress when asked about the Holocaust, when asked about killing Jews, and say "depends on the context." It's just beyond words.
...
It's like the 1930s. Your presence is provocative. The victim becomes the villain, and that's the kind of thing that leads to the disaster we saw in civilization, which nearly caused the end of civilization in the early 1940s.
And now we have a world today absolutely unraveling. We see it in Guyana now. Is the Biden administration going to be strong like Bush and Thatcher were when Kuwait was seized? Told the world things are not permissible anymore. Is that going to be allowed to happen? Does Biden have the backbone to stop that? When you have that kind of unraveling, mistakes are made, and that's where you get a global conflagration.

China is behind much of the moral rot and they are behind the Guyana invasion by Venezuela. Is Joe going to stand up to China? They own him.
I see the US showing “a lot of interest” in the European war between Russia and Ukraine and also “a lot of interest” in the Middle Eastern war between Israel and Gaza. We also have our eye on Iran. And we have our eye on Taiwan in Asia. Now we have to worry about South America? Venezuela and Guyana? Do we really need to be involved everywhere?
Where was Steve Forbes when they were just obviously savaging white Europeans.
He was probably in the tanning booth.
Forbes thinks Bush’s were moral? Forbes doesn’t even mention the moral decay going on within America. Hard to sell others about morality when you don’t practice or expect morality.
“Do we really need to be involved everywhere?”
Particularly with a military half the size it was in 1990s and now pretty much out of ground weapons.
I assume he no longer controls the magazine bearing his name, because its a DC, deep-state rag if ever there was one.
“Where was Steve Forbes when they were just obviously savaging white Europeans.”
Probably like every other roller back them - getting rich off investments in China while thinking “I guess my grand kids will have to deal with them some day”.
Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives are threatening the civilization of The United States of America.
Spot on! Kudos.
Today Guyana, tomorrow Surinam. If we don’t stop them there we will have to fight them here.
Yeah l guess Steve has not noticed that Forbes has become a left wing rag like all the others
To your point, we are spread very thin. Meeting those increasing deployment demands eventually wear down our military readiness. With ever expanding operations the logistics, manpower, maintenance and money issues start becoming problematic at some point.
LOL! I see what you did there. ;)
He and his family ceded control of it to a Chinese (Hong Kong) investment group! What else was it going to do? Remember the old Lenin saying, “We will hang the last capitalist withe the rope we bought from him!”.
“Forbes doesn’t even mention the moral decay going on within America.”
**************
Cultural and moral decay are relentlessly destroying the country. They are insidious forces and soon there won’t be anything left of the America That Once Was to salvage.
The Moral Rot We See Encourages All The Enemies Of True Civilization.
Indeed it’s self induced it gives the enemies more power.
2020 election didn’t happen due to the lack of it and many other things.
1930s, we saw what happened in Germany and elsewhere. At least in this country, you didn’t have it out in the open like we have today
