At the genesis of the Cold War in 1950, the Truman administration released NSC 68, declaring that the conflict between the forces of light and of darkness is "momentous, involving the fulfillment or destruction not only of this Republic but of civilization itself": All of which is portrayed by most U.S. scholarship and all of the liberal free press as a serious warning of a "Kremlin design for world domination". Fast forward to 1971: Then in 1980s, during the U.S. terror wars in Central America, the CIA warned of possible domino destruction to the "American system": 1989: the Cold War ends. Describing the new Pentagon budget in January 1990, the press reports that "In [Defense Secretary Dick] Cheney's view, which is shared by President Bush, the United States will continue to need a large Navy to deal with brushfire conflicts and threats to American interests in places like Latin America and Asia." The National Security Strategy report sent to Congress two months later described the Third World as a likely locus of conflict: In reality, the "threat to our interests" had always been indigenous "radical nationalism". Thus in 1991, Marine Corps Commandant General A.M. Gray explained that with the end of the Cold War, U.S. security policies will largely remain unchanged. "In fact, the majority of the crises we have responded to since the end of World War II have not directly involved the Soviet Union": -That is essentially NSC 68 in plain English. As diplomatic historian Richard Immerman noted, President Eisenhower "took it as an article of faith that America's strength and security depended on its maintaining access to -- indeed control of -- global markets and resources, particularly in the Third World." Therefore:
nice find with the video. Very openly discussion geopolitics under the propagandist umbrella of the cold war. But I don't understand the purpose of this topic. Is it just sharing information? Is there a question in there?
