President Biden declared yesterday that the decision to leave Afghanistan is about “ending an era of military operations to remake other countries.” This raises the obvious question, what will replace this era, which has been characterized by “endless wars”? Will the U.S. and NATO continue to pursue, unilaterally, an arbitrary Rules-Based Order, demanding submission to the failed neoliberal policies insisted upon by globalist financial and corporate cartels? Or will civilization advance to policies based on economic cooperation among sovereign nations, committed to mutual benefit?
