    Blaming the imperialist is an interesting position.

    In order to use that be our model of understanding continuing forward, we would have to presume that there is no imperialist state when we operate in MENA in the future.

    This may be a valid track, only if the US falls and another colonial power doesn’t come to fruition.

      it’s wrong to boil these things down to single axes but some factors are necessary foundations of events. I don’t think we can depend on there being no imperialist state but the current US or a collapsed US is significantly less effective than it has been in the past.

      and i use “we” loosely as fuck here because i can only project power to the neighbors’ property lines.
