Christopher and Mike, you are accurate with your assessments. Our meddling and manipulation in the affairs of other governments in the 20th Century and into the 21st has not set us up well going forward from here.

Yes Ally, but there's a difference. Mike S has a bee in his bonnet about the legasy of American imperialism and deals with his guilt by using every opportunity to disparage and run down the USA.

On the other hand, I am simply pointing out the link between this allied attack on the Houthis and the invasion of the Ukraine.

(I'm English so I know a bit about imperialism and anachronistic guilt)

Christopher. Thanks for the psycho analysis?

Who knew I felt guilty about the Vietnam, Afghan, Iraq wars that I had no hand in starting and participating in?

Not me.

And I happen to think you're both accurate with your assessments within your frameworks of experience and education.

Thanks Ally. Awakening to the real USA has been painful.
