      that or thousands/millions of other books, essays, treatises, manifestos, etc. saying the same thing.

      it’s an indictment of humanity that we keep doing these same things despite it being so well documented and analyzed.

      The problem is that the US Empire has a massively outsized influence over these multinational organizations, they serve to legitimize and facilitate Empire more than solve problems.

        Yeah, the U.S. has been routinely undercutting them. I think it escalated to true bipartisan normalization that we don’t GAF with the Iraq War. And in both Russia and Israel that voice could have been helpful, because it’s too easy to dismiss the U.S. for its (well earned) lack of moral authority.
