Authoritarian ones like Pinochet? Sure
Yes , we do lol
we were allied with Stalin in WWII
But U.K. And Germany are worse than the Sand Peoples
u think I mean FDR when I say "we"?
Read some James Burnham
Doing international affairs based on ideology is stupid and always ends with making poor choices
🆙 | **Walter Johnson leveled up!**
Specifically suicide of the west
Read some Mearshimer
What's his first name
They're been really antagonistic against the USA and Trump for awhile now.
Their National Student Union pretty much deserves sanctions at this point.
James Burnham wrote about domestic and not international politics
John J Mearshimer
Suicide of the West is on Audible and also talks about foreign politics
He said both the Dems and Republicans largely cucked to the USSR in a lot of places they didn't need to
They could have avoided border wars like Vietnam while not actually cucking to USSR on ideology and the west would have come out on Top
Okay, I know him about his writings on the Managerial Elite
I'm with Walter on this
Our primary flaws in my mind were 1) our media's attack on right wing movements like Pinochet's Authoritarian* (but not totalitarian) dictatorship, 2) Our focus on Rebel groups and every regime change we ever did, especially the one in Iran that backfired and permanently* broke our alliance with Iran (at least for many decades), 3) our axing of McCarthy after his red hunt when he actually started to drain the swamp in Washington DC
Just because UK isn't fulfilling Brexit doesn't mean they aren't our ally anymore
The U.K. Has been our greatest ally for a long time.
^^^This
I actually agree with Zak for once
UK is strong in soft power, that is their number one strength, and they are literally becoming Orwellian
If that sounds like an ideal ally then hail comrade
Double plus good
What do you mean? Their hard power is strong too, they were one of the few to send troops to the Middle East with us
They helped us strike Syria too.
.......
And unlike the French, they actually hit their target
Lol
The only nation that is our nominal ally, and actually has hard power is Turkey. And they are a terrible ally.
Yes the U.K. Is a decent military ally but that isn't worth much when our institutions are becoming Marxist and Censsorious
Turkey would btfo the rest of our NATO allies in a non nuclear land war
That's not their fault though lol
Our institutions becoming Marxist because of the Frankfurt school has nothing to do with our relations to the UK
right, and the city of London has nothing to do with the 08 market crash and the 2nd one coming in a few years
Anyways all I'm saying is a few tarrifs with the U.K. On economic things
