No military apparatus no matter how big or small can be effective without loyalty. A bully has no clue how to garner it, nor – by definition, does he care to. Because he has no military background, he has no idea how necessary it is.
Are these lifestyle choices failures; no. They simply demonstrate we have the wrong person for the job. The burning question; do we actually have a choice? Not a choice by definition of liberty – an actual choice?
Because when loyalty is taken into account within the two-party framework it tends to translate into ignorance. So maybe my entire premise is wrong.
Is anything really real anymore? Or is it just me?
[without looking it up; Putin is one of the few Global leaders with military experience. one of those little facts that make a big difference]
