Hitler used this same thing in WW2 to get the Germans to fight on when they should have surrendered and got the best peace deal they could. His argument was that the allied powers had plans to break up postwar Germany, with some even publicly suggesting that it be totally de-industrialized and made completely pastoral. To his credit, HS Truman rejected these crazy ideas but they did give fodder to Hitler’s propagandists to keep the Germans fighting. This is the same idea - some ivory towered idiot planning to break up Russia which is none of our damned business.
One can love their country without wanting them to be global interventionists, bombing the world to force them to be just like us.
If we are exceptional, why the need to prove it by endlessly killing people and sending nations into chaos, terrorism, and poverty as we pull out?
We have left a trail of death and destruction in the world since Obama and Halfbright decided to bring on the color revolutions.
And yet we allowed Rwandans to be massacred by machete, children as well, without putting out that interventionist hand.
Saddam was refusing to accept US dollars for oil, Khaddafi was introducing a gold coin and African continent monetary system.
Russia has been working with China on a replacement for swift.
The US Dollar is god for the neocons and interventionists.
We have lost our moral compass and Christianity.
