Pullout From Afghanistan Signals End of ‘Liberal World Order’
The Epoch Times ^ | 18 Aug 2021 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 08/18/2021 2:12:13 PM PDT by Rummyfan

If President Joe Biden’s no-questions-please press conference on the collapse of the American puppet government in Afghanistan and the end of the U.S. imperium in the Middle East felt like a funeral, that’s because it was.

The ignominious defeat, after 20 years of fruitless, half-hearted warfare, marks the end of the federal geopolitical Leviathan state that emerged during and in the aftermath of World War II.

Good riddance to it.

It’s fitting that the end should come with Biden, a lifelong, legislatively undistinguished congressman first elected from Delaware in 1973, and who served as President Barack Obama’s vice president from 2009 to 2017. Over the past seven months as president, however, he has ruined the economy, expanded the welfare state, encouraged anarchy, criminalized dissent, destroyed the First Amendment, elevated a superannuated apparatchik such as Dr. Anthony Fauci to a position of unconstitutional authority, and crippled patriotic Americans’ faith in their country and its ideals.

Biden couldn’t do it alone, of course. But with partners such as Gen. Mark Milley as the “woke” chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Antony Blinken at State; Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon; William Burns at the CIA, which just put another “O-fer” on the board by failing to accurately assess the situation in Kabul; and veteran Democrat operative Ron Klain as his chief of staff, he’s had plenty of help, particularly from the country’s malignant media, which fans the flames of “social justice,” gender studies, largely manufactured racial resentment, and sexual deviancy.

I hope he's right. These people, the self-designated elite, are morons, talented only in enriching themselves.

Quite a list of accomplishments for only seven months.

But what will follow Pax Americana? In my opinion, it is going to be very ugly with her US and Europe on a rapid downfall trajectory and China rising to the top. The USA in its leadership of Pax Americana was benevolent. Do not expect that from the ruthless expansionist communist Chinese.

“We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom,” Bush said in his second inaugural address in 2005. “We have confidence because freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing of the soul.”

Maybe some, maybe even a lot, of Afghans feel that way. But many more do not.

Let’s hope and pray so! The best thing that could happen to the USA and the world would be the annihilation of the “woke,” liberal movement in America, i.e. if the American People would come to their senses and return to sanity.

We simply do not have the kind of country anymore that can enforce Pax Americana. In fact it was overstepping our bounds that in a large part contributed to this.

Exactly.

This is a naive, isolationist approach.

It never worked for America.

We have always intervened in international affairs when it was to our advantage, whether it was the shores of Tripoli (Barbary Pirates-America's first Muslim war), to WWII, where we were directly attacked again.

What is different is the international thinktank/globalist position that America should fight for other people, and give up power to a New World Order. That is the concept which is dying and needs to be cast off.

I’m trying to figure out why any other nation would even bother to take a call from Biden or his Administration. I mean other than they want US tax dollars, the only reason I would take a call would be to get them on tape begging for credibility. I would put them hold and gather everyone in the office just so everyone could have a great laugh, then see how far I could push them to get everything. I would think the sky would be the limit for you to promise to “partner” with the Americans.

The USA in its leadership of Pax Americana was benevolent.

_______________________________________________________

The Pax American is not even benevolent to half of its own people. It most certainly isn’t benevolent to subjugated nations which are even less Leftists than our own. The political Left, which has been the pushers of globalism, always demand something. There has been a price that each one of these nations have had to pay as a result of US occupation and support. Our own media may not talk about that price much, but it’s definitely there. Think about it. What are conservatives having to give up (under threat of lawsuits, job-losses, and being ostracized from social media) in order to just live in the US?

Great article! Thanks for posting.

I think he read what I said a couple days ago which was, and I’m paraphrasing, CLOSE the Pentagon, bulldoze the building, dig up the foundation and turn it into a cornfield because there is just too much self serving aggrandizement going on in the halls and conference rooms of the Pentagon.

Working for the Defense Industry after a career in the military must be stopped too. Any general fired by Obama should be reconsidered. Any general hired by Obama should be fired.

For starters, the Germans had to give up Nazism and the Japanese had to give up the Imperial Emperor as God. Those don’t seem to be bad trade-offs.

Then eventually the Russians had to give up the Cold War and German was re-unified. Not a bad trade-off, either.

Now that the Democrats are wasting staggering, unheard of amounts of money for vote-buying and political influence at home (aka, “infrastructure”), we don’t have the money to maintain peace across the globe.

And I’ll grant you our government is no longer benevolent to its own people. If you speak out in the mildest way, DHS declares you a terrorist and Lord knows where that will be leading soon (but it won’t be good). As Victor Davis Hanson says, we are no longer a nation with meaningful citizenship having been obliterated with the wide-open southern border invasion.

Joe was used and installed as a puppet and every finger of the hand was represented by a group promoting their progressive agenda. All they had to do was advise Joe, make recommendations and convince this moron that his base wanted it, then hand him a pen.
