The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

    I wish I didn’t just read all of that to get to the end and you just brush off the argument completely.

    And that cold war hurt us, it didn’t help us, in every way you look at it.

    Was that line a troll? After literally not looking at it at all, you say that? And I guess we’re talking about the cold war, and not imperialism now?

    Here’s my question in response to all of that: Why did the US get the New Deal and not the Jakarta Method?

      What do you mean, I looked at it and rejected the contention that the imperial Adventures of our ruling class has had any benefit for taxpayers and citizens. That in fact it has given Force and license to the ones that have taken away our prosperity and rights. I really do not see any counter argument you are making here for how Imperial Adventures help the working class.

        my

        question.

        Why did the US get the New Deal

        And not the Jakarta Method?
