World Peace and the War Room

On 12-26-91 Premier Gorbachev resigned and declared the USSR or Soviet Union extinct.What followed was roughly 10 years of almost World Peace. The consequences of peace were brushed aside by the terror of 9-11. War became America’s continuous preoccupation.This war on terror which followed 9-11 was a testing ground for all the new weaponry developed by Star Wars,Reagans method of driving the Soviets into bankruptcy. So with this method of warfare we find that most of the rest of the world has no defense,the US war machine is invincible at this time and defeats Saddam's army in Iraq in a matter of days  They "Iraq terrorist" find irregular ways to fight back. They blow the legs off our soldiers. They plant home-made bombs in crowded restaurants. They recruit children to serve as their guided missiles. They capture and slaughter innocent bystanders, while our side merely bombs the villages from high altitude. The victims do not see our way as pristine or preferable. Their suffering becomes their global recruiting. So our fearless leader backed away from fighting in Iraq which gave birth to ISIS at least indirectly. We have Putin in Russia trying to expand there reach back into the Ukraine and China is expanding into Africa and possibly South America. At least Brazil,Russia and China have become quite close,I hesitate to add Venezuela to the mix since the loss of their fearless leader a few years back has thrown that country in to turmoil recently. So World Peace think again things have become in many ways more dangerous in the early years of the 21st Century and this does not bode well for the rest of this century. Just my $.02
