Buchanan: How We Forfeited the Fruits of Cold War Victory These, then, are three of the historic blunders that have forfeited for us the unique position America held at the close of the Cold War. First, alienating Russia by treating it as an incorrigible and permanent enemy by pushing our alliance onto its front porch. Second, pursuing a globalist trade policy that China exploited to become an economic and military rival of the United States. Third, America’s plunge into the Middle East, with our forever wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and then Syria, Libya and Yemen. They availed us nothing and led only to death and destruction. Of the passing of that preeminence we had in 1991, let it be said: We did it to ourselves.
Neo Cons, Wall Street, and Neo Cons again. Gov't is supposed to check and balance, they failed because they all serve the same master. Now we have a puppet gov't that does not represent the public.
Yeah, and this morning I left the house and wisely observed I should have brought an umbrella after it started raining. My thoughts should be published and pasted here by somebody addicted to the endorphins he gets from starting worthless threads. Can we recommend a nice coffee instead as a way to pep you up in the morning?
Yep which makes it even more pointless to repeat what everyone knew even before he first said it now. I guess this came up because he wants something or has said something controversial to get attention. I have said since 2000 consumers needed the ability to filter by country of origin so China would not just dominate everything. That never happened, all sides to blame across the developed world.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Pat Buchanan: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.
