nationalism turns out to be a great motivator, you had nationalism cuz everyone wanted to see USA be better than that other super power. Now you have MSM SJWs saying nationalism is bad, globalism is great, and let in illegals.

The Cold War, like the Space Race, was just a show on the world stage. There is no red button or atom bomb anymore than there ever was a Sputnik, any more than there is an American flag on the moon.

In 1973, Sutton published a popularized, condensed version of the sections of the forthcoming third volume relevant to military technology called National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union after which he was forced out of the Hoover Institution.[2] His conclusion from his research on the issue was that the conflicts of the Cold War were "not fought to restrain communism" since the United States, through financing the Soviet Union "directly or indirectly armed both sides in at least Korea and Vietnam" but the wars were organised in order "to generate multibillion-dollar armaments contracts."[3]

This is the truest thing you've ever posted, so credit where credit is due. It doesn't have to run deep, though. Wal*Mart still has to try if KMart is around. It's competition. Both sides had to demonstrate that they produced culture and could out-science out out-Olympics the other. Now? It's a race to the bottom. We only try to suck less than China... and China defines sucking.

I've never considered this before. Even after the Cold War the US always had a threat but that has dwindled to 18 years fighting the 'war on terror' which no one believes anymore.

i think deep down everyone knows 9/11 is false flag. it could have worked if they didn't start the war on terror with such bullshit.

American has more subversive Communists flooding it's southern border now than it ever did during The Cold War.
