Doc, Your opinions are almost a duplicate of what mine were while living in Toronto. I wish I had more time to respond to your observations but it is Friday night and I am on safari. Since relocating to Texas I have found out that US foreign policy is dictated by those who bankroll the candidates for elected positions. The more dependent the politician is on the donors, the more complaint he is to their demands. The prime example of a complaint politician was George Bush (43). 20 years ago, the most horrible enemy ever was the "Axis of evil." The US then changed its mind and Trump went for a photo opportunity with the great N. Korean leader and Biden handed power back to the Taliban. All this, if the great US politicians are to be believed, is in the best interest of the US - regardless of how many lives were destroyed by these "turn in the direction the wind is blowing" policies.
