What American leadership os failing to realize today is that a nation is a manmade construct. Borders (for the most part) do not naturally occur. They are defined by those who inhabit the land. As such, a nation is not a naturally occurring entity. It exists only as long as enough of its citizens agree that it exists and are willing to defend this idea. If you doubt this, name one country that exists today where few to none believe in it.
One thing that is often required for the continued existence of a country is the will of its people to defend its sovereignty, even when the ultimate sacrifice is necessary. A strong national defense requires the backing of a majority of its citizens. No matter the technology or economic might a nation may bring to bear on another nation, its true strength comes from the will of the people. If it was a country's technology and economic strength that won wars, America would never have lost or needed yo back away from any of the conflicts in which it had been involved since World War II. Despite America's overwhelmingly advantages in regard to weapons technology and economic standing, this super-powered imperial plunderer has list or retreated from every conflict. Whether the justification for such military actions was Democracy, "humanitarian" or to simply steal a country's resources, America has left in disgrace.
While America's consistent losses on the battle field may not completely define its leadership, it does indicate and imply a major flaw. Imagine how different this nation might look if the Joe Biden we have as president were leading American forces during WWII. Would America even consider an alliance with Russia or China? Would its citizens even consider fighting in masse in Europe? In light of the fact that Americans can't even determine what a woman is, I doubt they would have made the same sacrifices that the greatest generation made. And with D.E.I., we'd wouldn't be sending our best, but those who are under represented in war... Just because.
Consider whether Joe Biden has represented the will of the people and then wonder what outcomes we will get if Russia, China and others decide to attack America. The n consider what America would do in the event of an attack after its allies refuse to come to its assistance, whether by choice or economic necessity.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
