   People think that you can neatly separate "domestic issues" from "foreign policy" and pick and choose what to be interested in but the chickens always come home to roost.

   Never have I seen this level of a disconnect between within US discourse vs what the US is enacting in the world. Characteristics of a falling empire? I don't know. Are we all seeing the same barbarity?

   The free reign, unlimited money and weapons given to commit the most horrific torture, killing machines and tactics?

     I'm pretty sure we aren't. I've long noticed a disconnect between facts and prevalent beliefs mistaken for facts, presumably installed and maintained through massive propaganda. this is not a US-only thing, of course, but the US has persecuted quite persistently those who dared try to set the, erhm, permanent record straight, with the result that numerous USians are not even allowed to look at what they sacrificed their lives to share
