author of "Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace & Reinvented War", Yale Professor Samuel Moyn, on Why America is Always at War

[basquebromance]

Just musing on how Sam Moyn was against the Iraq war, warned about fallout of intervention in Libya, predicted current Ukraine conflict 8 yrs ago if West didn’t change course. But instead of listening to guy who’s been right all the time - we have Blinken/Nuland/McFaul…

War should be brutal, so we have less of it!

Ain't no puzzle why we're always at war.
The U.S. is the biggest arms dealer in the world that controls both supply and demand simultaneously!!

The best economic model evah!!!

Maybe he should talk about his Ivy League peers that are behind it all pulling the strings.

You can't be idealistic with brutal dictators all over the place.
Putin is just one example of a dictator who is not afraid to use his army to take land.
Iran would love to be a military force in the ME. If they get nukes, you just know that the Saudis have to get them. Who will they buy from the US or Russia?
China is just itching to start a war. They think that they are a military power, and the US is fading.
Kim Jung Un in NK has nukes. I'm surprised he hasn't tried anything yet.

The US has not abandoned peace, we enforce peace, thru strength. Russia got bit on the ass when Finland & Sweden joined NATO.
Will China try to use military force, or just patiently bank money and just buy what they want?

...long list of US "interventions"

Those aren't "wars". Grenada? Really?
