Colonel Larry Wilkerson discusses what empires do

MacArthur, there is no substitute for victory. Go to hell, Doug. That's not what empires do. Empires simply hold the world at bay and fulfill their monetary, economic, and other interests, mercenary interests, and that's all you can expect. And you fuel the complex that keeps those wars going on because that's what you want to do. You want to be constantly at war, but you don't want anyone to defeat you in the traditional sense So, it's not really a metric you can use to judge the empire by winning or losing wars. It's no longer consequential in the scheme of things for Rome. But the empire has not achieved any of its stated goals. Well, it has achieved a few. It has gotten a barrier of conflict. That's what I'm calling it now. A barrier of conflict. What's that? From the Arctic Ocean all the way a barrier of conflict. Not barrier to conflict of conflict. Conflict all the way from north of Manask in the Arctic Ocean where we're doing things the American people and our media aren't reporting don't know anything about. We're all the way through the Baltic where we're still agitating around all the way through Ukraine. all the way down to Georgia where we're still trying to overthrow that government. Other governments in the Caucasus are now being impacted by that too, down to Iran, the biggest and latest chapter in this axis of crisis and disturbance. And all this is designed to put a wall up against further Chinese and Russian now infiltration into Eastern Western Europe and ultimately across the Atlantic and into the North American continent. That's what it's all about. From https://www.youtube.com/live/Ai48FpArr8Q?si=eToagy_XiXWWJb_n
