Part 5/6:
The speaker highlights a disturbing trend: over the last thirty years, U.S. foreign policy has ostensibly made the nation—and indeed the world—less secure. The assertion that each president has aligned more closely with entrenched power structures rather than instigating meaningful change prompts a reevaluation of the democratic process and its results on foreign affairs.
The suggestion that every president falls prey to the influence of well-established interests raises critical questions about accountability and sovereignty in foreign policy. It challenges the notion of effective leadership and invites a broader discourse on how real change might be achieved in the face of persistent institutional inertia.
