Most Americans simply don't understand how out of control America's foreign policy has been since WW2, driven entirely by war profiteers, domestic politics, and ideology. I particularly liked this quote: "From funding the mujahideen in Afghanistan to arming the so-called moderate rebels in Syria, constantly putting the figurative Vladimir Lenin in a train car to St. Petersburg is not a viable grand strategy for US foreign policy. This type of geopolitical trickery creates a multitude of unintended consequences that are detrimental to US security in the long term." And it's not going to change anytime soon.
