But If you are willing to bare the slowness as you put it (there's a playback speed button btw), this is a good conversation with Sachs and John Mearsheimer:

They do go on a little bit on something you touched before - "standing up to tyranny", enforcing democracy and state building.

that wasnt a wikipedia, that was sach's own writing on the subject of the yootoob

and hell no, im not dismissing us ambition hahahha, i am counting on it 100%!

but i am not dismissing the other side's ambition either, which would be the naive position. that is a dangerous fallacy, assuming that because your side is bad it makes the other good. we can totally have 2 bad sides. most of the time, they are

and anyway yes, i prefer the american empire over the the other empire. i can see america's problems, but i'm not gonna switch sides at this point like "hanoi jane" hahhaahhaa

 

anyway i'll try to check out your yootoob after lunch maybe, ok
