Well, I cna see why. By contrast it seem sa lot more rational than what we have today... even if that too was irrational, it at least felt more rational.

Me too. Endless proxy wars got so much accomplished.

We are entering a new Cold War. Putin's posturing in Europe are awakening old fears and new worries. Eisenhower warned against the rise of the military-industrial complex. Well its been real since his death.

Unfortunately, our economy is based upon a wartime economy (eg. as Raytheon and General Dynamics goes, so goes the economy). The country improves when there is a war as we are the worlds leader in the manufacture and worldwide sale of weapons of war.

I get the logic...

When the enemies were easier to define.
Do you still think that the USA is under threat, or have you yet come to the conclusion that the US thrives on making new enemies to keep everyone in line?

Don't miss it, it's starting again!
