Fear and jealously does not make for a healthy foreign policy. Even young Americans seem to hate America right now. The thug, smash mouth pop culture is global.
We seem to have digressed into the 60’s white hippie, black power and latino dead end. A lot of people will have to get addicted, imprisoned, sick and die from fooling around with liberalism’s amorality/stupidity (often, libertarians call it “logic” and “liberty) and aggression before we begin to miss normal love and life and come out of it.
But we are weaker this time with debt and decades of cultural cleansing. It will get worse before it gets better.
Maybe if the US is going to be an empire then it is time for these colonies like South Korea to start paying! Send them a bill!
