re: #339 brookly red
Again, I’m hardly isolationist, but hows that relate to us?
Theres no reasonable way the mid-east can mess with us except for via the Oil. And the only state with real nuclear capability has a strong vested interest in keeping the others out of that particular club.
I guess its cold-war thinking, in the end. “If we don’t deal with them they’ll side with the Commies!” (not a dig at you, just generalized reflection)
I do agree its not practical tho’. There’s far too much vested politically by various factions for there to be any reform. I’m just lookin’ at a fun mental exercise.
