All true. Moreover, by deliberate policy of both R and D political parties, the EU-USA education and industrial systems have been de-professionalized as well as made inimical to military recruiting, training, industrial / logistical support, and operations.

It's tragic-comical in a way: American nationalists (Hudson Institute) and American trans-nationalists (Brookings Institution) share a Christological pretension regarding what they think of as The United States of America (aka themselves) -- greatest nation in history, always and only right, light to the nations, exceptional, chosen people, etc. -- and both subserve the same MICIMATT oligarchs. And they have nothing to back their pretension. It's entirely pretense.

Their oligarch masters and those think tanker minions deploy a doctrine they call "imposed costs." Whatever they want done, they impose the cost of doing it on someone else. The cost of "weakening" Russia they impose on Ukrainians and soon others, if they are stupid enough. The cost of "transitioning" to "green energy" they impose on Americans and citizens of less capable nations, mainly citizens of countries in Africa and Central and South America. The cost of establishing "global governance" and its prerequisite, mass human die-off, by oligarch-selected, publicly-unavailable "experts," they impose on all nations in furtherance of removing those nations' sovereignties.

This is why Americans and others have the feeling of being enslaved and bamboozled constantly by unseen persons and forces. People in D.C., Brussels, and The City of London impose the costs of their fantastical policies / agendas on fellow citizens. It's a cynical con they call "economics."

Truth is, Hudson-and Brookings-type "policy makers," "thought influencers" -- "Experts" they call themselves -- have no intention of winning any war they create. They intend only to benefit personally and as groups from chaos they generate by inciting wars to "weaken" countries to the point of ineffective self-governance, so they can grab those countries' resources. CIA have this mission since founding. It is their "raison d'être." Russia, obviously, is the gold ring in this regard. No country has as much or more resources or is better able to protect them. Therefore, Russia must be "weakened," stripped of sovereignty, so as to be looted at will by oligarchs funding the "combined West's" "Foreign Policy Establishment." So goes D-R UniParty logic, which is Un-American.

Illuminating account. One might think that the solution to all these conundrums would be human cooperation and that the ultimate war is the one against greedy elites.
