:::::::::You don't understand. It's not about ideology; it never was about ideology. It was always about power. That's why even many MAGA conservatives believe in treating countries like China, Iran, and Russia as the enemy. They don't care that those countries also hate the Washington establishment; they want to America to be the alpha male who beats any country that dares to pursue an independent foreign policy into submission.

:::::::::The really sick part of it all is that the central motivation for these people seeing China, Iran, and Russia as existential threats is their mere geographic location. As if they have no right to their own territorial integrity. And the degree they are willing to demonize those countries over their mere geographic location is bone-chilling. Some of the worst of this demonizing rhetoric can be found in Brzezinski's book, which openly compares the people of that region to "barbarians" who must be forced into giving tribute or be destroyed. The intensity of this hatred falls only slightly short of that of Hitler in ''Mein Kampf''. That's how deranged these people really are.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 22:55, February 14, 2022 (EST)

::::::::::I agree with what you're saying. I wish people would drop this annoying Cold War mindset that they're so fervent about. That being said, in a way it is ideological. Paleocons are big on isolationism, and if American politicians were less hawkish and more isolationist, we wouldn't be so hell-bent on competing and dominating on the world stage. That's my point; this hunger for power ''is'', in a sense, ideology. [[User:Vince Did 7-14|Vince Did 7-14]] <sup>[[talk|Christ Is King!]]</sup> 16:31, February 15, 2022 (EST)
