The period when universities were bastions of free inquiry and serious intellectual debate was v short: the 19th and 20th centuries. Today they are reverting to their original medieval model: reinforcing a prevailing orthodoxy, i.e. today's progressive liberalism.

France (I lived there for two years in the 1980's) has no assimilationist ethic. Instead the political elite pretend these immigrants aren't there, while being secretly grateful they provide a cheap source of labor. Now that neglect and denial, has exploded in their face.

It is SO unfair to play a war game as if the Red Team won't be adhering to the rules we worked SO hard to arrive at! How could you!?

This is what I was going for in the war-game I am currently participating in as China. But I don't think the powers that be are going to let it happen in the game.

Likewise Louisiana Purchase (negotiated with Napoleon), and Monroe Doctrine (declared with help from UK). When the goals of American foreign policy are clear, the means write themselves. What our goals today? No one in this administration can tell you.

Realism is deeply rooted in American history. A key, early example: We courted and accepted aid from France and Spain, at the time highly rigid - even reactionary - monarchies. We focused on our goal: independence. Not ideological conformity.

I'm afraid your analysis is correct. Everyone outside our domestic media and political elite understands that our house is not in order; no reason to back a clueless loser.

@Kiofofah @ArthurLHerman Washington had a sense of urgency. It thought it could bring down Russia with sanctions and cripple China with tech controls. Neither idea worked.

Apparently it's no longer a bad thing to warn your enemy in advance about your next military moves. I must have missed that lesson in strategy class.

The more time passes, the more the 1990's appear as the crucible of our age. The obsessive focus on the Clintons obscured what was really happening, from high-tech to Russia, China, and Islamic radicalism.

Has anyone noticed beside me noticed that news headlines, including those here at Twitter, have become systematically misleading? It's as if news outlets have signed a mutual credibility suicide pact.

Let's face it. If China does decide to attack or invade Taiwan, its focus will be taking out our ability to respond militarily. I.e. We don't stay out of this war, even if we want to.

@ArthurLHerman Rome's demographic decline was evident under Augustus. It took 400 years for the empire to fall. China's Global South strategy can extend Chinese dominance for another century or two by integrating billions of people into China's economic zone. It's done by tech not by force.
