→Quote about American friends
[[Noriega]], [[Saddam]], [[bin Laden]] and [[Gaddafi]] all met the same fate as [[Diem]]. [[Zelensky]] has already bought his ticket and is waiting at the train station. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 12:10, March 4, 2025 (EST)

:In a sense, the quote highlights a structural flaw in [[American foreign policy]] and [[American]] [[democracy]]. [[Authoritarian]] regimes with [[heads of state]] for life, for example [[Putin]], [[Xi]], or [[Queen Elizabeth]] are inherently more stable in their ability to make foreign commitments. Americans, blown by the winds of doctrine which change every four years, are incapable of making lasting commitments. That's what led to the disastrous defeats both in [[Vietnam]] and now in [[Ukraine]].

:Personally, I blame the [[Democrat]]s. They have a habit going back the [[Woodrow Wilson]] (maybe even the [[Confederacy]]) of politicizing [[foreign relations]] for domestic politics. They view [[foreign policy]] exclusively as a means to manipulate domestic politics and promote themselves. That's how [[Hunter Biden]] ends up being on [[Burisma]]'s board.
