it's that simple.

While I have several substacks bookmarked, so far this is my only subscription, and the author very kindly gifted it to me. If you can afford to support this author's speaking truth to power, please consider it, and please consider supporting ~~deadlines~~, dessalines, nutomic, and altmediaguy. They whisper truth through the angry and loud CIA/Mossad propaganda, that has become overgrown poison ivy in the Western world.

What saddens me is that the U.S. could have been the complete opposite.

After WWII, the modern day version of carrier strike groups could have been made more numourous and larger. But instead of just patrolling chunks of the ocean for no goddamn reason, the MOMENT a country's armed forces cross into a neighboring country that agressor country gets obliterated by the strike group in that location.

In turn, the US could never seek to expand its borders, and would remain neutral in all future conflict.

Sure this would have pissed Russia off, but look at China - other than their childish problem losing Taiwan and Hong Kong (RIP) they probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Hell, the US DEMONSTRATED the capability to do this with the first Gulf War.

I will now wait for a chaotic inbox.
