Certainly not the Italians, again over-run, or the Dutch lost in sexual and drug lusts.<\/p>\n<p>Or for that matter Americans.\u00a0 Americans, whose main fighting element\u2013Southern White Males\u2013are racially discriminated against by Biden\u2019s black Pentagon chief, who has prevented their promotions because \u201cthere are too many white officers,\u201d have ceased to enlist.\u00a0 After all, what Southern \u201cheterosexual white supremacist racist,\u201d as the Biden regime describes its would be recruits, wants to be denied promotion because of his race and, because of his race and \u201csexual preference,\u201d be lorded over by black female commanders and homosexuals, and soon by transgendered and illegal immigrant-invaders.<\/p>\n<p>I am confident that it is impossible for any Western country to be capable of fielding an army that would not be wiped out instantly by a Russian force, a Chinese force, or even by an Iranian force.\u00a0 The last wars that the US won were against Spain in the 1890s and against Japan in 1945. After a 20-year effort, the US military was driven out of Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly-armed Taliban, just as it was driven out of Vietnam. I regret that this statement hurts the feelings of those who thought they were fighting for something important, but they were deceived for the profits of the military\/security complex and for Washington\u2019s hubris.<\/p>\n<p>In the entirety of the Western World the belief system has been destroyed.\u00a0 The destruction of essential beliefs has been going on since the 1960s when university students began their chant \u201cWestern Civilization has to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, it is gone. All that remains of America is an insane government with nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"zQyyAX72VI\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Donate&#8221; &#8212; PaulCraigRoberts.org\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=Rpjgx0EoSn#?secret=zQyyAX72VI\" data-secret=\"zQyyAX72VI\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2024\/02\/09\/whom-the-gods-would-destroy-they-first-make-insane\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Craig Roberts on why Western European countries are in no position mentally, morally or militarily to take on an invading Russian or Chinese army, when they can\u2019t defend their lands from migrant hordes     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=281617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281618,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281617\/revisions\/281618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=281617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=281617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=281617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
