GLOBAL POWER; BUT AT WHAT COST?







It is a little late for asking this question.
At this point nothing can change.
It is a mindset - 
We convince ourselves we need this.

  1. Eisenhower warned us in 1960 about the military, industrial complex.
    His replacement refused to get involved in the Cuban civil war & was talking about backing out of the civil war in Viet Nam.
    His replacement did not have those problems

    They won.

  2. Russia, too, wants to be a Global Power. Why? Global power and $5 gets you a coffee at Starbucks. Mostly global power transfers wealth upwards from the taxpayers to the 0.01%.

  3. Further to that. American bases in Europe and the Far East are suddenly relevant to protect us from Russia and China. Why 800, I don't know.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
