Thucydides bullshit as justification narrative

The new trend to justify America's global imperial dominance and justify a confrontation with China, Russia and eventually anyone else that could have even the potential of being a near peer, the US is now pushing the Thucydides trap narrative. It conveniently ignores actual US military policy of direct confrontation with anyone who challenges their global empire , and turns it into some fairytale of fatalistic inevitability. Very convenient. Fate made me do it.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I was studying global geography while you were still trying to "find yourself." So, yeah not only could I locate Ukraine on the map, I knew its origins, I understood its culture, and I predicted it would be on Putin's radar for reconstituting the USSR. You are literally a living demonstration of what projection is. I could use you as a cute aside in a Ted Talks presentation on human behaviour quirks and psychological abnormalities.

@MarkPaul That is a lie. You have proven that. All you have is talking points from 2022 forward straight from the likes of Jake Sullivan.

It speaks volumes that for someone who claims expertise you cannot provide a single counter argument.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Jake is a good man. Hard worker and like me a team player. It seems you have a problem with anyone who actually gets things done instead of being an ideologue. Well, I am no ideologue.
