I wonder whether the increase in domestic conflict we have been seeing over the last few months (years?) might be because we haven't been engaged in enough combat overseas. War is baked into our DNA. If we don't have a target to focus on, we'll find one or make one up. Rumor has it that Trump didn't start any new wars and according to our standard set of beliefs, that should be a good thing. But maybe he should have. If he had, all those people who want to pick a fight would have had an external enemy to focus their self-righteous anger on and we could have avoided some of this lockdown stupidity that we are still saddled with.
The US is actively fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq (still), Syria, Yemen (until last week), Somalia (until a week or so ago), Libya, Columbia, Venezuela (in the jungle), most of Africa from Somalia to Nigeria, Indonesia, the Philippines, Ukraine (SOCOM)...
ReplyDeleteWhat is left? Mort Sahl used to recommend Canada...nice people, spoke English (mostly), short commute...
I doubt we'll be going to war with Canada, but I am generally wrong about everything the government does.
