Newsflash, folks, the American Hegenomy was built by overwhelming force unleashed, winner take all, pretty much in a straight line to the stars, Appomattox Court House, to the Sea of Tranquility.

I can't remember and can't find it now. He might have stopped doing it. But he just talked about history. I don't think he would have talked about anything you wrote anywhere. This had to have been William Craig.
Edit:
Here it is:

That's an interesting podcast.

So wait...Smitty-48 wrote:Nonsense, the Civil War is the source of America's Hegemonic status, the British and French ceased to be the hegemonic powers, overnight, Dixie cried out to the Entente Cordiale to save them from the Washington-Wall Street Axis, the British and French said "Hells no, look at that beast, holee mother of God, it's a monster..."
You're telling me that Washington-Wall Street needs to win another Civil War by force in order to remain Hegemon.
Crush Dixie all over again?

I didn't say which America should do what, you said that a Civil War endangers America's Hegemon status, but the historical record indicates that the American Hegemony came about as a direct consequence of the Civil War, one side defeated the other, decisively, and America then went on a hundred year run, Appomattox Court House to the Sea of Tranquility, but then the victors ran out of steam on Hill 937 at Dong Ap Bia, and America has been receding back into a stalemate ever since.DrYouth wrote:So wait...Smitty-48 wrote:Nonsense, the Civil War is the source of America's Hegemonic status, the British and French ceased to be the hegemonic powers, overnight, Dixie cried out to the Entente Cordiale to save them from the Washington-Wall Street Axis, the British and French said "Hells no, look at that beast, holee mother of God, it's a monster..."

I'm not seeing a replay of that scenario in the current context.Smitty-48 wrote:I didn't say which America should do what, you said that a Civil War endangers America's Hegemon status, but the historical record indicates that the American Hegemony came about as a direct consequence of the Civil War, one side defeated the other, decisively, and America then went on a hundred year run, Appomattox Court House to the Sea of Tranquility, but then the victors ran out of steam on Hill 937 at Dong Ap Bia, and America has been receding back into a stalemate ever since.
Civil war has no net benefit for America today.
Aside from gratuitous wargaming fantasies.

I have a short story in mind that would fit right in with that as a title.Smitty-48 wrote:Appomattox Court House to the Sea of Tranquility
May I license that from you; or do you want some juice as a co-author?
Now, complete the title, "Sea of Tranquility to _________."

Nonsense, the whole problem is the stalemate, you're just a lefty, so you don't want to take anything to force, because without the Soviets and their world socialist revolution underwriting, the left would be crushed by a multilateral quasi fascist right wing nutjob coalition, but that doesn't mean that going Duterte on your Huffpo Himbo hides wouldn't be exponentially profitable for the American Hegenomy.DrYouth wrote:I'm not seeing a replay of that scenario in the current context.Smitty-48 wrote:I didn't say which America should do what, you said that a Civil War endangers America's Hegemon status, but the historical record indicates that the American Hegemony came about as a direct consequence of the Civil War, one side defeated the other, decisively, and America then went on a hundred year run, Appomattox Court House to the Sea of Tranquility, but then the victors ran out of steam on Hill 937 at Dong Ap Bia, and America has been receding back into a stalemate ever since.

You want to take it from me already? I just wrote that gold five minutes ago, Jerry, I haven't even finished basking in the glow of it yet.

Fascist America undermines all the ideals of America... it then becomes a paradox of liberty.
America defined liberalism... an unliberal America is no America at all.
The shining light on the hill goes out.... it's raison d'etre is no more... Darth Vadar defeats the rebels and the Sith rule.
America must at least preserve the illusion of itself as a bastion of liberty and Duterte can't pull that off.
