Any plan to restore middle-class America needs to embrace a foreign policy, one totally opposite of what it has been. One doesn't have to have a college degree to see the billions and billions of tax payer money going for wars. America has a very hard time making friends with countries which they have more in common with than they don't. . . Humanity wants peace. They want to trade with other nations. They want to share cultures, languages, ideas and passions. They don't want to fight. The propaganda spewed out by the government dominated media, keeps people psychologically programmed for war, conflicts, and a warped belief that--we are the good guys. . . we will take over your government with our democracy. . . we will provide you with funds if you . . . This persuades every American to hate the Russians, hate the Chinese, hate the whoever. Why does there need to be an enemy? And who defines what an enemy is? The enemy is any people/country which is a threat to the power of the American hegemony. And that sick reality shadows over the idea of world peace; it shadows over human nature. Living abroad for 40 years in Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Peru and (growing up) in the USA, one of the most natural prerequisites to being an expat, is, we all come from somewhere, but we all live with the same objectives: to be free, happy, healthy and survive financially in peace. The people who want war, are people who don't live from the heart and have no compassion for humanity. . . I am sure RFK Jr. knows where all that money could go. If he doesn't, I can tell him.

Meanwhile, this Global Research article by Mike Whitney about Biden's National Security Strategy toward Taiwan, might interest you.

Here is an excerpt:

"Biden’s 2022 National Security Strategy articulates the (above) plan in clear, unambiguous terms, leaving no doubt that the country is headed for war. Here are a few excerpts from the 48-page document:

The post-Cold War era is definitively over and a competition is underway between the major powers to shape what comes next… We will build the strongest and broadest possible coalition of nations that seek to cooperate with each other, while competing with those powers that offer a darker vision and thwarting their efforts to threaten our interests… We will…modernize and strengthen our military so it is equipped for the era of strategic competition with major powers,..

The Indo-Pacific fuels much of the world’s economic growth and will be the epicenter of 21st century geopolitics. ………..No region will be of more significance to the world and to everyday Americans than the Indo-Pacific… We reaffirm our iron-clad commitments to our Indo-Pacific treaty allies… America will not hesitate to use force when necessary to defend our national interests… The military will act urgently to sustain and strengthen deterrence, with the PRC as its pacing challenge….

The PRC is the only competitor with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it…. The American military is the strongest fighting force the world has ever known……America will not hesitate to use force when necessary to defend our national interests….

Around the world, the need for American leadership is as great as it has ever been. … …. We will partner with any nation that shares our basic belief that the rules-based order must remain the foundation for global peace and prosperity.. There is nothing beyond our capacity. We can do this—for our future and for the world. National Security Strategy, White House

Let’s summarize:

The Indo-Pacific is now America’s top foreign policy priority because that is the area that will experience the most growth

The US will lead with its military and with the allies who share US interests

“We will…modernize and strengthen our military” to prevail in our “strategic competition with major powers.”

America’s Number 1 enemy is China; “the PRC presents America’s most consequential geopolitical challenge ….The PRC is the only competitor with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it…”

“The post-Cold War era is over” but the United States is prepared to preserve the “rules-based order” whatever the cost in blood and treasure.

This is America’s foreign policy in a nutshell. US leaders and their globalist allies are fully committed to prevailing in today’s great power struggle with Russia and China. They have a clear grasp of the objectives they want to achieve and they are prepared to risk anything, including nuclear war, to achieve them. Any developments in Taiwan must be seen through the lens of Washington’s geopolitical ambitions which are clearly driving events."

* Living in America, few people will blink twice and ignore this horrifying provocation toward China. But living in Asia, anywhere around this area, believe me, we are more than a little concerned.

Blessings from afar.
