probably living boxed in by some foreign adversary’s military bases and puppet governments all over our hemisphere
Without 9/11, i.e. regime change in the Middle East, the Oil Bourse would have been able to grow and threaten the value of the U.S. dollar worldwide. Who knows how that would have changed the oil industry in this country.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m saying if it wasn’t us it would be Russia or China doing the same to us. That’s what the Cold War was. A geopolitical posturing race post WWII. If we are not involved in WWII it’s even easier for whoever would have come out on top
China was behind the 8 ball not really being an industrial power in WWII. Hence being boxed in by the victor of the post war power struggle. Whether by lack of means or by choice if you sit out someone else will always be making moves on the chessboard.
If we cut our military budget in half tomorrow the EU nations’ would shoot up immediately
