I don’t think the west has learned any lesson if the United States thought they had been defeated militarily why the fuck did they park their most expensive death machines off of the coast of Venezuela?

1. Not what I’m saying. I’m saying other countries will see that the US isn’t potent enough, as it lacks it’s former industrial base, to enforce their interests militarily.

2. Venezuela isn’t as strong of an enemy as Russia. Russia has been up until the Ukraine conflict one of the largest weapons exporters. The recently released US NSS basically admits that the US overextended itself. They also got chased away by Yemen.

He also painted the Ukraine was as being a democrat war which also why I think he wants to end it. I

the US overextended themselves as admitted in the NSS. Putin having leverage over Trump with some blackmail is too conspiratorial/lib imo

the end of the century our global economy is going to shrink because of all the environmental damage we’ve done to the planet, all these wars aren’t going to slow down said destruction

True I agree. It’s definitely a tendency that exists.
