There is a lot that falls into that category...yet foolish people persist in being foolish, or willing stooges of the DeepState and crony-capitalist cabal...
If not entangled in Europe or its love-hate relationship with its neighbors (that hasn't changed much...has it, despite their shared enlightened socialist sentiments!) maybe our relationship with others as well as their own with each other would be different, funny how old animosities persists, eh? The collapse of the old Soviet Empire basically fell into the lap of Clinton & Dem's who had little to do with its demise and whom still to this day probably mourn its fall. What should have been consolidated into a conservative win was corrupted by uninterested politicians looking to reap the supposed guns-into-butter windfall that would ensure domestic obedience and continued rule. Then Prince Vlad had to create ways to stay in power like an Emperor and devise economic means to tie neighbors into serfdom (fuel!) and reconstitute the Russian Empire to its former girth...and this time with Ukraine the target the Dems, the DeepState, the cronys, the EU et al get panties in a bunch? Not saying without reason but for the wrong reason. Ironic all the role reversals and lack of consistency or conscience. And now...the dark powers have Trump (temporarily?) in a box with relations with Russia so that no cooperation between the two can exist...not on Islamic terrorism, not on economic issues...nothing...only conflict can be allowed. And the dumb Russians don't help by invading neighbors repeatedly. But that action seems to be encouraged than discouraged...so why don't we act the same? Time to seize Cuba, we failed to claim all of it in the Spanish-American War, Gitmo not enough...the whole damn island should be ours! Monroe Doctrine, Putin Doctrine...don't care what it is called...same rules should apply to all or to none! Canada and Mexico better keep in line, look out!
