Failed Univeristy
Failed Journalism
Failed Political Class
Victim Culture
Mass appeal for snitches
A refusal to work
The mass appeal of fantasy over reality
The love of cruelty towards others
Yet another drive for UTOPIA

Seriously; how old are you? Nothing has changed from the 50's to now. The MAIN difference between then and today is that the Party of the Jackass no longer has a monopoly on control of the Legislature or the Scotus.

You have failed at paying attention.

My two cents: the Cold War is over, and I do not think our interests are served by refighting the cold war against Cuba or China. As a liberal democracy, we ideally should be advocates for human rights and international law.

As for the USSR, I feel like Americans give themselves way too much credit for the demise of the Soviets. It was long standing internal structural weaknesses, latent nationalism, and the efforts of Russians Balts, Ukranisns, central Asians themselves who transformed their nations. Bedtime for Bonzo had almost nothing to do with it

I agree about "too much credit" but disagree the Cold War is over with Russia...If anything we are in Cold War 2.0 with constant NATO expansion, war games on Russia's border and now the demise of the INF treaty

Those internal weaknesses you speak of are known as communism.

Also, we won't be re-fighting the Cold War, as none of the remaining communist states are vulnerable to an arms race. Keep your two cents.

looks very much like we are in an arms race. and we are fighting a proxy war with Russia as well in Donbass

HHhhhmmm, thnx for your two cents.... To be honest I am not specially concerned or interested much about Cuba, China~CCP more specially..

How the USSR decomposed is certainly open to debate but it came about economically, IMHO, & not militarily-there was no battle field victory, as they say..

The CCP is our competitor, rival, adversary~ can we compete??

Can we compete economically as we did in our rivalry w/ the USSR??

I think we can but not on the path we have been going down since the cold war ended, & more specifically since 2001-9/11 & the dick & bush regime change missions/China allowed into the WTO...

While we wasted life & treasure doing so, they have been forming relationships & building their economy @ staggering rates..

yes China is waging a cold war arms build up,but unlike Russia who confined their adventurism strictly
on military holding the USSR together, China has economic tentacles allover the world (soft power)

we;ll have to see if COVID destroy some of that - but we are late getting into the game of seeing China
for what she really is. a malign power,and our strategic and military competition
