One of the great things about Steemit is that there are all sorts of posts from one liners to - well this - I think you have just set a new benchmark - I'm going to reread it and think it through, then ask some questions!

7,418 words of hardcore geopolitical analysis. I know. I'm a geek. :)

Hello Suzy!
I have to say this is a great piece. I've only managed to get through half, but I promise to finish it!

The Western Democracies need some checks and balances installed, after consecutive administrations have dismantled them.

I propose and Act to repeal any war time emergency legislation automatically, at the declaration of peace between two nations.

Thank you for reading and commenting! If you want to support anti-war efforts, worldbeyondwar.org is a great start. They are amazing!

Great article Suzi. I resteemed (not that I have much of a following here as yet, but...). I am curious since you wrote this immediately following the election, what your thoughts are now on the Trump presidency and his impact on U.S. expansionism. From my perspective, I think we have another MIC puppet and the "swamp" is comfortably in place in Washington. Let me know your thoughts and of course I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hey there, thank you! I've been wondering what I should post today, and your comment has just given me an idea. So I'll let my long form work answer your questions! Keep an eye out for "Just As Intended: The U.S. Election Is Tearing Us To Shreds." Should be up within the hour.

Love those Shihad lyrics - I used to rock out to those guys

I'm not too surprised that the patterns keep repeating - I think that the zionist rotchilds have been using those same tactics for over 200 years to bring about their one world government and both America and Nazi Germany were under the control of the same zionist overlords

I might be in Moscow, but I'm here with my signed Shihad albums, signed Shihad FVEY t-shirt, and with one of Karl Kippenberger's old basses. (From LITNH & BM)

Fangirl from way back!!!!!!!

thanks for the excellent information, I like to read your article @suzi3d

Interesting, will have to definitely read in more detail. You might be interested in this post I just put up, very different but actually inspired by your's: https://steemit.com/war/@alkhemst/we-have-war-after-war-and-there-s-can-be-no-winners

One of my friends, David Swanson, has made ending war his life's mission. Look him up. His website is worldbeyondwar.org and he has a ton of amazing material on this theme!

Thanks for the link, interesting work and a great aim to go after. If war is a reflection of and escalation of a deeper conflict, it would likely continue to escalate over and over again while that deeper conflict remains unresolved in us. That would be my guess.

Wow, good marathon article cant wait to read it more thoroughly during more extended free time.

Apparently I might have blown the Steemit benchmark for long form. Oops. This article had thousands of readers on my own platforms, would be super cool to get it some more traction here!
