While i'm on foreign soil, i - i just don't feel that i should be speaking about differences with regards to myself and president obama on foreign policy, either foreign policy of the past, or for foreign policy prescriptions.
Past Differences President
In 2003, at the time i made my "old europe" comment, the center of gravity in nato and europe had long since shifted to the east. with the former warsaw pact countries joining nato, the alliance has a different mix today. some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in europe - an aging population. europe has come some distance since world war ii in becoming europe.
Country War Distance
I do not know if the doctrine that the nation-state arose in the 19th century was still being taught:;... but it is erroneous. the nation-state reaches back far into the origins of europe itself and perhaps beyond. if europe was not always a europe of nations, it was always a europe in which nations existed, and were taken for granted, as a basic form of the state.
Taken Europe Doctrine
It seems strangely difficult for some to realize that here in asia is where the communist conspirators have elected to make their play for global conquest, and that we have joined the issue thus raised on the battlefield; that here we fight europe's war with arms while the diplomats there still fight it with words; that if we lose the war to communism in asia the fall of europe is inevitable, win it and europe most probably would avoid war and yet preserve freedom. as you pointed out, we must win. there is no substitute for victory.
War Fall Fighting
When you say that after world war i there was a pandemic that killed more people than the war itself, most will say: "wait, are you kidding? i know world war i, but there was no world war 1.5, was there?" but people were traveling around after the war, and that meant the force of infection was much higher. and the problem is that the rate of travel back then was dramatically less than what we have nowadays.
