American foreign policy will never change. [View all]

[hifiguy]

Ever. The imperialism and interventionism, fueled by the bottomless greed of TPTB will not change in most of our lifetimes. It will not change until the country bottoms out and can no longer afford insane miiitary budgets or blunders into WW III and the survivors learn something from the past and try a saner way.

When someone as normally sensible and grounded as Elizabeth Warren says what is discussed in another thread here it is just time to face the facts. Focus on domestic policy, where there are meaningful differences among candidates and potential candidates. The only politicians I can think of who might implement a sane foreign policy are Keith Ellison and Bernie Sanders and the chances of either one of them ever being POTUS is about the same as my being able to flap my arms and fly to the moon.

Let me know the things I have the power to change, the things I will never be able to change and the wisdom to know the difference. Foreign policy is a lost cause and it is time to admit that fact and move on.
