Colonialism garbed in 'national security'
An excellent summary of the truth that is becoming increasingly evident to the 88% of humanity outside the “West”.
The West, failing as it is economically without more recent colonies to exploit and immiserate, has revived colonialism but needed a plausible excuse for doing so.
What they haven’t figured out is the implausibility of their plausible reason to a world that no longer buys the b****hit. Further evidence of the declining diplomatic and military power of the dying empire!
