It has always been both a fools errand and somewhat of a rhetorical facade this search for absolute truth. Truth is simply that which is most relevant...

Or the US occupied NATO countries back in 1945 and never left. After the war, Western Europe embraced US leadership, economic support, and military pr...

I think there is a lot to this. People have to sense in their bones that their own government is gaslighting them - it's been over 20 years now of rel...

Imperial Russia? Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 ...

The Russians have a narrative about the war and their narrative is different to our narrative! It's narratives and turtles all the way down. But the R...

Which part: the decline of Western Culture? US over-reach? China's rise? Or all of the above?
May 25, 2023 at 01:43
True! The non-western world is not a monolithic entity, and you rightly observe, even within the Western NATO bloc, dissension infiltrates the ranks. ...
