The currently pivoted, sold out to
The Man American left would never tolerate this (see below) . . . the new Pivoted sold out American Left melts down just like the former PNAC'ers about any hint of withdrawal from a hegemonic stance. Sadly, the hardcore apolitical entities that thrive in the fake-left paradigm are getting exactly what they want, a new cold war . . . further evidenced by the fact that Russia is now upping it's presence on the African continent (a long with the Chinese) in response to the U.S.'s rapidly expandingn(over the last 5 years) Africa Command, meanwhile the U.S. Navy is conducting substantial operations in the Norwegian Sea, as far North as any substantial U.S. Navy presence has been in years.
The new pivoted Anti-Russian American Left should be fist pumping their asses off right now.
Rather than seeing itself primarily as a global police officer or proselytizer for liberal values, in Walt’s view, the U.S. should move from liberal hegemony back to a more restrained strategy of “offshore balancing.” This strategy would focus less on global policing and more on intervening to ensure that no rival hegemonic power emerges in the three regions that are of great strategic importance to the United States — Europe, the Persian Gulf, and East Asia. This was the same logic that guided the U.S. to belatedly intervene in World War II, when it seemed that Germany might consolidate itself as a rival power dominating Europe.https://theintercept.com/2018/10/21/us-foreign-policy-after-cold-war-books/
