After getting so far and learning so much can the USA truly pull back? Would the Military Industrial Complex even allow it??


There are events in history we do not see or understand their importance, in 1776 did they know they would Land on the Moon, even looking back the Black Tom explosion was an act of sabotage by agents of the German Empire did they know another attack would change the world, the first time a slow flying craft with propeller caused damage to a strong steel ship but somehow almost crippled this giant beast, the expulsion of French Acadians on the North East of North America and replacing them with English speakers they were to swear an oath of allegiance to Kings and Queens of Britain. Perhaps the wins in 1942 after thoughts winning after scenes of murder and scenes of Doom and death, USA wins and in motion picture the Hollywood blockbusters, rights to vote, putting men on the Moon, the tech revolution, some events we did not read of Onion Futures Act is a United States law banning the trading of futures contracts on onions as well as motion picture box office receipts and then the USA beat the Commies, the fall of the USSR all will be remembered as ‘the American Century’...maybe 911 changed it all, maybe Iraq or Afghanistan or Putin's attempt at a comeback, does attack come with withdrawl?


Some accused both Trump and Biden of being isolationist, they would change the system collapse the might like a crazy Ron Paul.

Trump did bomb Syria, he finished the ISIS war then bombed other parts of Syria.
Even though Donald Trump said the USA will no longer play the role of the "world’s policeman" nobody attacked, a somewhat stable world?

Putin stayed where he was and Afghanistan was not over-run by the Taliban.
Running endless Military Machines are expensive and the money will be taken off the American taxpayers,
However in a ways sometimes America offers 'Stability' like a hardass Teacher in the Classroom, kids with grudges fight, there is violence and mayhem and any number of regional conflicts break out. The 'Pirates' might return and lobal trade goes up as the safety of commercial shipping can't be provided, a combo of Canada, Australia, Germany, France, EU etc stepping up as world police seems wishful thinking and for now they are too busy with Eastern Europe and the War in Ukraine.
For a while the USA got tired of being Disliked it was Damned if you Do and Damned if You Dont and then Suddenly Done Being the World’s Cop?
Biden has now engaged with NATO, there is a 'Proxy' War of sorts in Ukraine after the Russian invasion. Some say that by pulling back Brazil, South Africa, China, India, Russia, Turkey and Iran will determine the postwar order in parts of the world. Afghan people seem to have supprted the Taliban and jihadi islamism more than America, it was their choice alone to decide their future and they picked to support islamist ideas and jihad Stone Age ways. Latin America gets more bold Argentina wants the Falklands back from the British and other less friendly Countries like North Korea have returned to launching Missiles, Middle East and Arabia goes back to its old ways and continues to be a huge quagmire of stupidity. Groups like ISIS the Taliban, and Al Qaeda mostly destroyed could make a comeback. Violence and Chaos increases maybe as the old big nasty super power steps back, it might have been a 'Bully' but it also provided a lot of stability

We do have past historic example

U.S. withdraws from Vietnam

Saigon falls in April 1975. While Vietnam became more stable of sorts and 'Communist' the murder did not stop

Right next to Vietnam another country and the Killing Fields a number of sites in Cambodia where millions are killed and buried, buildings made from skulls by the Khmer Rouge regime during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979

There is a massive decline of 'Soft Power' in the past the West was not just about funding a war or gun running and backing some team of killers to win a war against another team of killers, it used money, diplomacy, the cheque or check books, maybe they would have given a loan to build a bridge or some building to make shoes or parts for a bike or medicine.

Rise and Fall of West, when is the lowest culture point

Nobody buys the Hollyweirdo message, the Hollyweird movies are also expensive but they push bolsevik politics, homosexual anti-family, drugs new degeneracy and strange politics. Why are people going to Indie film or South Korea and Japan for their tv and games and movies.

and some where along the way people confused 'soft Power' with weakness, apologist pro-islamist types and idiots with Open Border Policy?

Does China and does a group of other nations now take over 'Soft Power'

Though not addressing your question of Soft Power, this video is interesting and relevant to the subject.

Are Hollywood Comedies Dead?



He highlights the idea that with the always-online world we find ourselves in today, the shared experiences that used to exist within society that made comedies work no longer exist. That coupled with the fact that most production studios don't even want to bother making a comedy unless they think they can pull in a few hundred million when it comes out is why we just don't see that many comedies in the theaters anymore.

Where are today's Little Rascals and Our Gang comedies? Don't answer. It is rhetorical. This is not Little Rascals, but is about immature people:

‘Joy Ride’ is one of the funniest films you’ll see all year

“Joy Ride”: The hard-R-rated comedy features a fantastic quartet of actors — Ashley Park, Stephanie Hsu, Sherry Cola and Sabrina Wu — who portray a diverse quartet of Asian American friends who meet up in China and get into all sorts of outlandish mischief. Director Adele Lim’s directorial debut is as much raunchy fun as “Bridesmaids” and “Girls Trip,” but it’s smart, too, commenting on the need to embrace our true identities. I’ve seen it twice and would gladly see it twice more. It’s the best comedy of the summer. Details: 3½ stars out of 4; in theaters July 7.

Are 'Puriteens' changing sex comedies?
Jennifer Lawrence's latest film No Hard Feelings is R-rated and sold itself as raunchy comedy – but is actually "tame and inoffensive", writes Caryn James. Is it a comment on today's "Puriteens"?

Nah. Since nearly everywhere we go we make war and create instability and failed states, my guess is that MOST of the world would be better off without us.

For example, since we bailed on our Mideast wars to foment eat n Ukraine, peace has broken out all over. Turkey and Syria are talking, Syria was welcomed back into the League of Arab Nations, and Iran and Saudi Arabia are making nice with each other.

Isn't the world so much better off without all of that sturm und drang (storm and strife,)?

Kinda...

They'd be better off without our ceaseless interventions, yes.

But as we've discussed before, most of the world benefits from US Military might.

There isn't a country in Europe, or Canada for that matter, that would have "free" healthcare if they weren't able to rely on the US taxpayer military. They'd all be conquered by countries much worse than ours if they tried it.
