on Morning Joe and elsewhere.
If we hadn’t stayed in Germany, Japan and South Korea for decades after World War II (and Korea) how long would we have had to wait for the next major war?
How many years would it have been before either Russia, China or North Korea conquering the weakened powers, or from rearmed Japan or Germany culturally unchanged and rearmed decided to reassert themselves?
Take your time, my K of C thing isn’t till later tonight.

Outstanding. Studying Greater Persia for the last four years has really convinced me of the necessity of Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran is resurgent, they’re unapologetic about pursuing nukes, and they’ve historically vied with the Arabs for influence in Central Asia. With Russia reeling, Iran is in the best position to fill that void. We leave Afghanistan, it becomes Iranian property, in reality if not in name.
OT: Love the new layout.
Thanks on both counts.
