America's been waging illegal wars for decades. Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran (Stuxnet), Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Chile....
Sure, America loses just about all of them because our generals post WW 2 are meat-headed dunderheads, but that's what a trillion dollar a year national security state gets you.
Same s#$t, different century. The United States has many more people to immiserate.
Nice talking point there. yawn

Dunderhead is a compound word and literally means thunderhead. Presumably, someone gets struck by lightening and if they are not killed outright are left stupid.
I do not know why or how Anon 10:25, a Lefty or a foreigner dredged up that particular insult. there are 1 to 3 religious Leftists who sing the America is evil mantras (illegal wars being one of those mantras).
Fred has gone anon in the recent past and he is a Leftist (not so much by choice as unconsciously so). I think Fred is not Anon 10:25. Can't be sure without an analysis or hacking and I do not hack. Although I do know of a good Russian hacker (I am not speaking of WNU.).
Anon 10:25 did not take another nibble, so I cannot set the hook. Damn. I wanted to engage and destroy that dude's arguments, but he declined.
To listen to these leftists fruitcakes, you would think the USSR had never existed.

In 1992 the British Secret Intelligence Service exfiltrated from Russia a defector whose presence in the West remained a secret until the publication of The Sword and the Shield in 1999. That man was Vasili Mitrokhin, the KGB's most senior archivist. Unknown to his superiors, Mitrokhin had spent over a decade making notes and transcripts of highly classified files which, at enormous personal risk, he smuggled out of the KGB archives. The FBI described the archive as "the greatest single cache of intelligence every received by the West." In The Sword and the Shield, Christopher Andrew revealed the secrets of the KGB's operations in the United States and Europe; now in The World Was Going Our Way, he has written the first comprehensive account of the KGB and its operations throughout the Third World. Our understanding of the contemporary world remains incomplete without taking into account the vast impact of the KGB in developing nations: Andrew reveals the names of political leaders on the KGB payroll as well as the KGB's successful penetration of numerous foreign governments. He also points to the many absurdities of KGB operations-such as agents attempting to assess the spread of influence of rival Chinese communism by visiting African capitals and counting the number of posters of Mao Tse Tung. For decades the KGB believed that the world was going their way-and Americans at the highest reaches of government lived in fear that they were losing the Cold War in the Third World. This extraordinary book will transform our understanding of the history of the twentieth century
