" Better yet, with its economy hollowed out and its military stretched across the globe fighting to preserve a status quo increasingly under siege, perhaps it would be wise for the US public to drop the blinders and reflect on the fact that it many ways the US is starting to look like the USSR in the 1980s–a military power increasingly left without the economic or political foundation to regulate the international system rather than simply clinging on to a role it once had, and which may never be again (remembering that the difference between a superpower and a great power is that the former intervenes in the international system (often using war as a systems regulator) in order to defend systemic interests, while the latter intervenes in the international system in order to defend national interests).

What the fuck ? You kick me from the site because you hate free speech and the have the audacity to send me not only that but more emails.
I realise you are a Republican site I will respect your right wing bias and accept that you don't want my perspective but for the sake of all that is bloody fair in this world get the fuck out of my life. Stop emailing me or prove that you understand the world is a lot bigger than America
I was astonished you removed my post and profile
" IHstewart:
That is downright weird! It is one thing to engage in escapism, as grey ghost mentions. But denial of reality and deletion of entire post on what is a supposedly open forum demonstrates a serious sense of insecurity.
Problem for the fearful is that deleting your post does not remove the obvious facts stated in it."
