We are dealing with vermin here. US has no interest in collateral damage such as the Iraquis murdered on the turkey shoot. Still less in the ethnic Russians murdered and persecuted and with every effort made to destroy their culture.I am Irish and I know how the British - the most evil state that ever existed- destroyed our culture the most ancient Celtic civilisation in Europe. Then they attacked our religion, schools priests masses etc but in the long run they failed. The Nazi junkie will also fail but he will have caused the most appalling carnage. I can think of no execution method that would punish him enough. But the huggers in the collective west should join him in his dying moments. They are just as guilty and I include neutral Ireland who did everything to prolong the carriage. The woman who is Taoiseach who is devoid of any principles had the nerve to assert that Trumps halt of weapons for Ukraine was a setback for peace. There is no bottom to this idiocy and it will all be in vain. US will never again dominate the world with their forever wars ,Europe will melt away and Ire deprived of Europe and US succour will pray for the right to survive.

American foreign policy has never changed- might makes right.

What has changed since Iraq and Afghanistan, are the use of proxy forces to get their dirty work done, as was demonstrated in Libya, Syria and Ukraine.

If they want to wage war on Iran and China, which I'm sure they would love to do, then where on earth will they find mercenaries?

The intervention by Russia in Syria (2015) decimated their jihadi forces, cultivated from the chaos and destruction in the ME since early '90s. It had a huge effect on the the ability of the CIA to wage war. It would have also made all the difference in Ukraine, if those 300+k battle hardened mercenaries were available in 2022. Thankfully the Russians had some foresight.

So where are the 'moderate rebels'/ISIS V.2 going to come from? Or will Iran and China only be subjected to NATO bombing campaigns? Considering the air defence systems available to both countries, it doesn't seem feasible.

The USA is just not as mighty as it used to be, let's hope peace and dialogue starts happening.
