I am very concerned with not only the cost, but the situation of a peacekeeping force, but there is little to do except try it, for the time being...I am glad that you found the discussion of neo/paleo interesting!...I think (I may be wrong) that the Europeans were urging the States to act, but you are right that the Administration insisted upon too much operational control...When I used the term "proxy", I did not precisely mean that we were just doing things in their stead, but in a balance of power situation in Europe, a bloc would have naturally centered around Germany, and after the War, that was impossible, so the US had to take the leading role instead...Obviously, as the years go on, the situation is beginning to change... |
