War

A utopian, ubiquitous and altogether subversive  ideology defines an economic framework called globalization. Not unlike the communist revolution that evolved into something else, Globalism defines a  battleground, exploited by international banking, multinationals and hostile governments.  Since 1973, economic, cyber and military warfare deplete US wealth, health and lives in a war that few acknowledge.

A long history of diplomacy suggests that foreign policy seeks the goal of balancing the opposing powers of competing nations. Today, three countries vie for economic, cyber and military dominance – resulting in a two against one conflict. The economic framework of globalization and its ideology undermines the rational and necessary strategy for the very alliances that can balance the opposing forces.

For instance, congress and the media thwarted Trump’s attempt to befriend Russia as a balance against China’s military opposition in confronting N Korea. Instead the administration embraced China with some success but at the expense of  a strengthened alliance between Russia a d China. Now it becomes more difficult to confront China’s economic and cyber warfare with the US. The constitution calls for the executive branch to direct foreign policy, yet the media with the most powerful propaganda machine ever devised, attempts to dictate foreign policy and undermine the executive branch. Not good.
