There is a very interesting new Ron Paul RevolutionPAC advertisement that focuses on foreign policy.
One premise of the Ron Paul campaign has been that many of our woes around the world are self-inflicted. I would agree, although I am not in complete harmony on this.
Below is Ron Paul’s new RevolutionPAC foreign policy ad. (The ad is not by the Ron Paul campaign itself, but by his supporting PAC. I know: hamburger, cheeseburger. Not much difference.)
The theme from Ron Paul’s ad is not new. It is a thread of thought that has been with us a long time now.
In 1984 there was a Patrick Swayze movie called Red Dawn. The movie didn’t explain what happened to cause foreign troops to be stationed on U.S. soil but the rest of the movie makes for a feature length story of Ron Paul’s new foreign policy ad.
Movie - Red Dawn - 1984
Thanks to Al Alborn for bringing the Ron Paul ad to my attention.
DISCLAIMER: I support the core thesis of this advertisement. On the other hand I consider America to be an empire. Empires have a choice: stay involved or become one of the players that have to play by the rules rather than make up the rules. It isn’t a perfect world.
wait a minute….is this ad trying to tell me that US troops that are stationed elsewhere are doing all this shit????? Cuz I aint buying no stock in that.
If you haven’t read Dr. Tom Barnett’s “The Pentagon’s New Map”, now would be a good time. He explains how to do both. I remember tracking down Dr. Barnett in China and bringing him to the newly created DNI’s office for advice after 9/11.
Thanks. Will track down Dr Barnett’s book.
