America of Teddy Roosevelt Is Back Baby ... Trump #47 Unspun.
Down with all FDR stood for ... UN Institutions - ICJ - Geneva Conventions - Human Rights - ICC - ALL SUCKS.
The gladiators of Trump-Vance-Rubio will lay out the New Rules ... Colonization is back, not only Monroe's America but there are no places to hide form becoming part of the new Western Civilization - Judeo-Christian teaching is the way forward.
Nine months later ... second breath of White House "leadership" .. Munchen tirade by Rubio leading the diplomatic corps of propaganda. Goebbels would be proud.
Forget Maga. Welcome to Mega: Make Empire Great Again | The Guardian Opinion |
by Mehdi Hasan
Fresh from toppling the president of Venezuela and taking control of the world's largest oil reserves, the Trump administration's top diplomat arrived at the Munich security conference on Saturday with a rather new and very disturbing message for European governments.
Empire is great. Empire is back. Empire is American.
The US secretary of state delivered what can only be described as a 22-minute ode to empire. A love letter to conquest and colonialism. A proud defense of the West's territorial expansion.
That secretary of state was, of course, Marco Rubio - the longtime foreign-policy hawk who is now one of the most influential voices in a Maga-dominated Republican party that once pretended it wanted to end "forever wars".
[...]
In his speech, Rubio went way beyond offering the typical defense of US "leadership" or a muscular foreign policy, as so many of his predecessors, both Republican and Democratic, have done before him. Rather, he issued a full-throated endorsement of empire - and he did it at exactly the moment the United States, under his boss Donald Trump, is openly engaging in the kind of territorial and extractive imperialism that most western European governments spent the last 80 years renouncing.
In Munich, in Germany of all places, Rubio delivered an encomium to five centuries of the west's "missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers, pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe". He lamented the "contracting" of the "great western empires" in the wake of the second world war. He decried the "godless communist revolutions" and "anti-colonial uprisings" which, for the record, helped free 750 million people across 80 former colonies since the founding of the United Nations in 1945.
And the response to his remarks? Europe's elites gave him a standing ovation, as if he'd just announced a cure for cancer rather than the literal return of empire. And in doing so, they made themselves shamefully complicit in the Trump administration's rewriting not just of US history, but European and world history too.

Yesterday the contractor send a carpenter to my home to complete a difficult task ... he had worked for 10 years in Wales, but is an American citizen. Born in Southern California near Idlewild, he is half Cherokee Native. So I printed out a copy of Ghostdancers Way writing ... this was greatly appreciated.

The 19th-century imperialistic geopolitical agenda envisaged America as a divinely ordained guardian of global democracy and freedom.
