      The Republicans will back any hair-brained interventionist agenda Biden adopts. The Democrats will call you a communist if you don't get in line. And mass media will do the 9/11 dance to stoke tension until Americans think the world is on fire and only they can stop it.

      But, at this point, we're hitting a soft upper bound on how many resources we can commit. Pandemic, the economy stalling out again, domestic unrest, and a hard split on partisan lines mean you're risking marginal global hegemony on one more big roll of the dice if you keep ignoring domestic concerns.

      Who cares about the voters? We'll never have a real election again, not after the disaster of 2016. They've already established a Green Zone in DC. What are we going to do? Rise up and overthrow them? Laughable.
