Patriot,

This is a very hard time for the neocons in Washington.

The Biden administration is suffering extraordinary military
defeats. In Ukraine, it's become increasingly undeniable that the
proxy war with Russia has been a total failure.

On top of that, the mobilization of American ships to the Middle
East, combined with enormous diplomatic blunders, has turned much
of the world against us. Just a few days ago, Vladimir Putin
enjoyed a warm reception with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates.

With everything going wrong - because the Biden administration
has done everything wrong - who do you suppose the administration
blames for these failures?

The answer is rather remarkable.

The Real Problem with Our Foreign Policy…

Over the past weekend Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin explained to
the American people what's really wrong with U.S. foreign policy.
Some might find his conclusions surprising.

The U.S. standing in the world is damaged not because we spent 20
years fighting an Afghan government that had nothing to do with
the attacks on 9/11. The problem has nothing to do with neocon
lies about Iraq's WMDs that led untold civilian deaths in another
failed "democratization" mission. It's not because over the past
nearly two years Washington has taken more than $150 billion from
the American people to fight a proxy war with Russia through
Ukraine.

It's not the military-industrial complex or its massive lobbying
power that extends throughout Congress, the think tanks, and the
media.

Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California's
Simi Valley, Austin finally explained the real danger to the U.S.
global military empire.

It's us.

According to Secretary Austin, non-interventionists who advocate
"an American retreat from responsibility" are the ones
destabilizing the world, not endless neocon wars.

Austin said the U.S. must continue to play the role of global
military hegemon - policeman of the world - because "the world
will only become more dangerous if tyrants and terrorists believe
that they can get away with wholesale aggression and mass
slaughter."

How's that for reason and logic? Austin and the interventionist
elites have fact-checked 30 years of foreign policy failures and
concluded, "well it would have been far worse if the
non-interventionists were in charge."

This is one of the biggest problems with the neocons. They are
incapable of self-reflection. Each time the U.S. government
follows their advice into another catastrophe, it's always
someone else's fault. In this case, as Austin tells us, those at
fault for U.S. foreign policy misadventures are the people who
say, "don't do it."

What would have happened if the people who said "don't do it"
were in charge of President Obama's decision to prop-up al-Qaeda
to overthrow Syria's secular leader Assad? How about if the
"don't do it" people were in charge when the neocons manufactured
a "human rights" justification to destroy Libya? What if the
"don't do it" people were in charge when Obama's neocons thought
it would be a great idea to overthrow Ukraine's
democratically-elected government?

Would tyrants and terrorists have gained power if Washington did
NOT get involved? No. Tyrants and terrorists got the upper hand
BECAUSE Washington intervened in these crises.

As Austin further explained, part of the problem with the U.S. is
democracy itself. "Our competitors don't have to operate under
continuing resolutions," he complained. What a burden it is for
him that the people, through their representatives, are in charge
of war spending.

In Congress, "America first" foreign policy sentiment is on the
rise among conservatives and that infuriates Austin and his ilk.
He wants more billions for wars in Ukraine and Israel and he
wants it now!

And our economic problems? That is our fault too. Those who "try
to pull up the drawbridge," Austin said, undermine the security
that has led to decades of prosperity. Prosperity? Has he looked
at the national debt? Inflation? Destruction of the dollar?

There is a silver lining here. The fact that Austin and the
neocons are attacking us non-interventionists means that we are
gaining ground. They are worried about us. This is our chance to
really raise our voices!
