Nations have interests, not allies. (see Lord Palmerston, c. 1848)

So many tend to miss this when they read history.

Well, if you do not make the efort to become intimately familiar with the policy makers and their “white papers” that beome policy then how would you know WHAT to change? WHO is your ally and WHO, exactly, is your enemy? So, who exactly is wearing the “tin foil hat” thinking “the world hates us because we are good”, “the Russians are evil and are out to get us”???

Just a thought.

Good post. I feel the same. We are very patriotic, and proud people, and unfortunately this can be easily turned/used against us as history has shown again, an again.
