Somewhat off topic, but what I find curious is that the green new dealers and climate change hoaxsters say nothing about the obvious environmental damage that forever wars cause. The poisoning of the air. land and water.
Not to mention the human suffering.
Where is AOC, aka, the Queen of Green? She and her ilk are busy lecturing us on the evils of driving a gasoline driven car.
I think it's quite strange. Why are the peaceniks silent? Why is DJT the only one who seems to be pressuring for peace?
Excellent post. 👍
He seems to be expressing a somewhat defeatist sentiment as he leads the reader down into the weeds, and he seems to put the cart before the horse a bit too much.
It would be a pleasant change.
“Make Love Not War
These were the marching chants of liberal Americans
How they have fallen.”
It’s not that they have fallen - they were useful idiots then as now - but used in a different way.
Then, when the West was powerful, these ‘liberal Americans’ served as tools of Marxist instigators scheming to trick the West into disarming unilaterally.
Fifty years later, now that we have disarmed, ‘liberal’ Americans serve as tools of the same Marxist instigators scheming to push us into wars that we can no longer win.
The useful idiots on the Left still serve the enemy as tools for the same purpose: the wholesale destruction of the West.
They are just being used in a different deception.
Outstanding post
Code Pink is still active as are the Greens.
Those were protesters against the Vietnam War.

they lied then

they were/are ALL liars
spit.
I know. I’m 72 - old enough to have been disgusted with them in real time.
Congress has not declared war with Russia, and Russia did not attack the U.S.
So, Biden committed a high crime by launching this attack on Russia.
(Can’t say I agree with the author’s take on Putin being pure as driven snow, but the main point is valid.)
Goes back before then, at least to when Putin invaded Georgia.
Here is some more crap from Paul Craig Roberts...funny how the antiwar crowd fits in so well ideologically with Palestinian terrorists :
LewRockwell.com is also the home of former assistant secretary of the treasury and right-wing nutcase Paul Craig Roberts. In March, LR posted a piece by PCR insinuating a “’black opts’ [sic.] group will orchestrate [an] attack” on America “in order to gain a pretext for attacking Iran.” As recently as last month, he reaffirmed America had a secret plan to nuke Iran.
In response to Israeli defense, Roberts noted some neocons, “mostly Jew,” had been accused of “dual loyalties.” In fact, the kidnapping of the IDF soldiers was all a Jewish conspiracy. Shrewd Jews knew removing Saddam from power “would open the door for Israel to provoke attacks from Hizbollah.” Besides, “what is decried as ‘Arab terrorism against Israel’ is, in fact, the only tactic Muslims have for calling the world’s attention to the plight of the Palestinians.”
There’s no shame in having supported winning wars once we were already in them.
The real question is - would we have supported our government covertly instigating foreign conflicts and then getting us inextricably tangled up in them. And would we have supported absurd rules of engagement that tied our hands and needlessly dragged out wars so the MIC could rake in obscene profits.
The answer is obviously “No!”, which is why they always bypassed congressional approval.
JFK should not have overturned Truman and Eisenhower and sent America into that war and most of us opposed it, but once in, many felt that we should fight to win.
Agree. Peace Through Strength. Our leaders should avoid foreign entanglements, but once entangled, we must end our involvement with a show of strength. No apologies, no humiliating defeats.

So true
environmental extremism => national weakness => war => environmental catastrophe
