Related: About this forumHow does HRC's hawkishness NOT doom us to perpetual war?
How can someone who obsesses on "force projection", someone who takes advice from a war criminal(there is no other description for Henry Kissinger, and she listens to no advice at all from anyone who wants peace) ever move us towards a peaceful world?
We need to defend our OWN territory from external attack, obviously, but how can we really stay involved in wars and be constantly announcing our willingness to start wars around the world and still be, in any real sense, working for the end of war?
It's not as though peace can be achieved by the U.S. gaining world domination, for God's sakes. Our uses of force are no more intrinsically benevolent or high-minded than any other country's.

Martin Eden
(12,870 posts)That was the ambition of the neocons with their Project for the New American Century.
And, as far as I can tell, Hillary Clinton was on board with that agenda.
Obvious at this point it won't happen, but at the higher echelons of power that make policy, the corporatism and militarism dominate the worldview.
