#2 "I see thru these cons all the time"

Well we sure have seen our share of neo-con cons. The Iraq Con (fail), the "Arab Spring" con (big fail), the neo-con Color Revolution fails that now have ended with Ukraine in flames and the markets in free fall

Did you know "con" is french for asshole?

#3 WOW!!, "Did you know "con" is french for asshole? ", I didn't know that, I think. I'd love to talk about it. I'd like to talk about it but I can't talk about it.
Don't worry I go away after awhile. :)

#11 What Is Russia To Us?

An excerpt from a forthcoming book by the late, great Angelo Codevilla, "America’s Rise and Fall Among Nations: Lessons in Statecraft from John Quincy Adams," published by Encounter.

The book grew out of a request by the Office of Net Assessment at the Department of Defense during the Trump administration that Dr. Codevilla prepare a memo on what a truly “America First” foreign policy ought to be. Angelo delivered a few months later ca. 65,000 words along the lines of “What Would John Quincy Adams Do Today?”

The book goes through the foundations of American foreign policy, where it went seriously and disastrously wrong in the twentieth century, and why now is the time to “return to reality.”
