Not that I disagree we’d be better off but I don’t think what we’re seeing is necessarily new. I’m currently reading “The Second World Wars” by Victor Davis Hanson who also has some great lectures at Hillsdale college. In it, he describes how German deterrent failed due to dangerous social policies of the western democracies during the 1920’s. For example, French school teacher unions had banned speaking about French military victories as it “was dangerous to the peace”, British student unions were making open proclamations about their unwillingness to fight for king and country, and the Dutch couldn’t even call their navy “warships” as the term was too provocative.
That post-modern school of thought is just as dangerous now as it was then. What I think has changed since then is our ability to course correct. We saw a correction briefly after 9-11 only for Bush and his fellow globalist shills to set us back another few decades in Iraq. It’s no wonder the Chinese are so bold.
