CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 27, 2023
THE COLD WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION LASTED FOR SIXTY YEARS. WHEN THE BERLIN WALL FELL AND EASTERN EUROPE’S COMMUNIST REGIES COLLAPSED, SOME BELIEVED IT WAS THE END OF EVIL. FRANCIS FUKUYAMA WROTE A BOOK CALLED “THE END OF HISTORY.”
UNFORTUNATELY, EVIL DOESN’T END WHEN ONE EMPIRE COLLAPSES.
LAST WEEK’S THREE-DAY MEETING BETWEEN CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JING-PING AND RUSSIA’S VLADIMIR PUTIN PROVES THAT A NEW COLD WAR HAS BEGUN WHICH COULD LEAD TO A HOT WAR.
THE CHINESE AND RUSSIAN DICTATORS MADE CLEAR THEY INTEND TO REPLACE THE UNITED STATES AS THE DOMINANT WORLD LEADER. BOTH COUNTRIES SEE THE U.S. IN DECLINE AND WEAK. THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THAT WORLDVIEW. LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING TO OURSELVES, FROM FEWER PEOPLE SIGNING UP FOR MILITARY SERVICE TO LOWER SPENDING ON DEFENSE THAN FOR MOST OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT PREFER SUCH THINGS AS GENDER IDENTITY, DIVERSITY AND THE REST OF THE WOKE AGENDA.
THEY ALSO BELIEVE PRESIDENT BIDEN IS WEAK AND HIS MENTAL STATE PROJECTS WEAKNESS. THE OPPOSITE OF PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH IS WAR THROUGH WEAKNESS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
