Would living in a lawless world help anyone's security?
Because, underlying all the incidentals about which perceived potential threat to U.S. "full spectrum dominance" to preempt next, that's the key question.
Societal relationships, whether interpersonal or international, require a set of mutually agreed and mutually accepted rules if they are to work at all. No single party can simply exempt itself with impunity. Strange and incomprehensible as it may seem to some, the U.S. isn't the only nation with security concerns.
When you tear up the rule book, its constraints and protections don't just disappear for others. You can no longer claim them for yourself either. Well, you can claim them, I suppose, but your hypocritical pleas aren't likely to return anything but sardonic laughter. Now and then, interspersed with the screams of tortured souls and the thunderous silence of slaughtered innocents, I think I hear it rising already.
