      Buchanan's view of US history prior to 1990 is nonsense. Rarely has anybody with his ability to think clearly deluded themselves so badly, but he's been doing it ever since McLaughlin and he's not going to change now.

      But. His view of history after 1990 is spot on. Rarely has anybody summed up better how America has lost its central premise to be a republic rather than an Empire. I recommend the piece.

      Our crisis is the result the takeover of America by the 1%, who view our foreign policy as a way to goose their defense holdings and protect their oil holdings. That takeover was directly the fault of the terrible policies of Buchanan's personal hero Reagan -- it was indeed the intention of those policies. That's what happens when a bunch of rich *******s from Orange County and NYC seize the government.

      But even though he's wrong about everything prior to 1990, he's right about our current dilemma. That should create the opportunity for a left-center-right alliance to finally rid us of the Empire. We can best do this by kicking the 1% to the curb. We've tried everything else since 1980. The root cause analysis is that America lost its way when it became a plutocracy, and our leaders started designing policy around protecting the stock portfolios of the super wealthy rather than protecting the lives and standard of living of the other 99% of Americans.

              Poland was Germany's price for losing WW1 and WW2. Ukraine was Russia's price for losing the Cold War. I wouldn't count on the territorial integrity of either.

              Let's go back to the really old sides: Hapsburgs vs. Bourbons, who ya got?

                    I'd like to include the Romanovs, but Ivan the Terrible was just warming up.

                    Luther had staked his Thesis, Henry VIII had broken with Rome, and the 30 years war was on the horizon.

                    Like now, Europe was/is a powder keg.

                    But, to answer your question, I stand with the Holy Roman Empire.

                          I've never had it. If it's true it tastes like licorice I would be in heaven.

                            It's not exactly like black licorice, but it's close. And I hate black licorice. There's a reason 'anise' and 'anus' are so similar.

                            I imagine they called it anise because the person who tasted it for the first time said, "That's horrible! It tastes like anus!" It was misheard and it stuck.

                              Did you really just explain your own joke in a second paragraph?

                              There's the licorice you can get at The Sweet Shop and then there's real licorice. I love the former. The latter is like having an iron file scrape along your tongue. It is so strong it completely blows away any of the accompanying flavors for me.

                              But I would dearly love to have a licorice alcohol that can get me drunk while not (a) making me feel like a 10th grader on a spree or (b) giving me a headache that lasts until the middle of the subsequent work week.
