The Biden foreign policy is built around the blob – the establishment that has dominated administrations of both major parties since the American empire began.
As we are the one global super-power, it’s probably a good idea to consider how our policy may have contributed to Ayman Al-Zawahiri’s no-goodness.
Reagan’s high military budgets sluiced money into high tech industries. That money made its way into virtually every congressional district in the country.
