However the conflict in Ukraine now unfolds, it has already revealed how deeply and extensively America’s ruling factions have failed. For many, the revelation is a shock; for many others, an all too accurate forecast come true—and a long-delinquent bill come due. Every faction vying for control of our country shares in responsibility for the present situation and everything that will come with it. Neoliberals, convinced “soft” economic power could be used to weave a “rules-based international order” that would pacify the world, refused to recognize the flaws and shortcomings of their approach, rooted in an optimism that careened from the naïve to the cynical—and refused to relinquish power when their methods did not deliver. Neoconservatives, devoted to the foreign policy of color revolutions and infowar, met the global collapse of their strategy at blistering cost with a seamless pivot to fruitlessly bellicose rhetoric and posturing.
The woke vanguard, to whom both the neolibs and neocons have increasingly capitulated, have twisted America’s strategy and identity to the point where, to discredit and demoralize us, our adversaries need only hold up a mirror to the institutionalized decadence, incompetence, perversity, and self-loathing that the woke have made our regime’s established religion. And our globalized military-intelligence complex—which includes not only our rights-defying three-letter agencies and the Five Eyes borg but the Big Tech companies used to delete the difference between foreign and domestic modes of surveillance and control—has failed supremely to meet the duties and obligations of national security. Our armed services lack a basic vitality. Our inability to win wars and afford them has become characteristic. The resultant shift to an overreliance on technology to wage spiritual, psychological, and cultural war against geostrategic rivals has been transparent, illegitimate, and unsuccessful.
