[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=millennial][quote=The-Shoveler]Call it heresay if it makes you feel better or safer.
I don’t put too much stock in that doomsday clock (well maybe being that we are at three minutes now).
Syria isn’t worth it for us, and we probably shouldn’t be there…unless our actions help to create a quicker and more amenable outcome. This being said, if history is any indicator it will most likely have the opposite affect.[/quote]
Megalomania.
We tried to topple Assad to break the Shia crescent. The Arab spring was our opportunity and pretext. But it didn’t work out the way we planned. Interestingly, we created a Shia Iraq that wasn’t there before
There is a national security apparatus that boomers built. Young people don’t care as much about projecting American power. They want a more egalitarian world.[/quote]
Yes that’s probably a true statement. I don’t think that a new Millennial president would be involved with these things.
Not sure if the egalitarian attitude relates specifically to our generation, but it may be due to current technology and our social network. For instance I’m sure that Boomers and Millennials alike would have the same response if we saw a live feed on Facebook or Snapchat of innocent children and babies getting killed first hand in Syria. Having witnessed this, I think it makes it a lot more difficult for a nation to remain ignorant of their actions and for megalomanics to prosper.
