Excellent reading.

American foreign policy is essentially cowboys and Indians.

When there is no coalition and the Americans have to go it alone, that is where they run into trouble.

Examples:

WWII
The Cold War

Home Alone:

The Vietnam War
2nd I-raq war
Afghanistan, still fighting after everyone has left
trade war against China
war against Huawei
recent Venezuela coup

Examples:

WWII
The Cold War Win

Home Alone:

The Vietnam War loss
2nd I-raq war Win
Afghanistan, still fighting after everyone has left Semi-win
trade war against China Stand-off so far
war against Huawei Wut?????
recent Venezuela coup USA not involved. They wisely stay out of this one

'Frustrated' Trump Sours On Venezuela Regime Change After Bolton 'Got Played'

(President Trump has a sense a humour. Bolton got played. Yes he did. In the recent Trump-Kim summit, Bolton was sent to Mongolia on a diplomatic assignment. Of all places to send someone. That is what Stalin always did when he wanted to lower someone's rank. Send them to work at a post in Mongolia. LOL.)

The other stuff there is a lot to read because it is a bitter fight.
