For past 70 years US has refused to defend its own people, has only sought to maintain military superiority over rest of the world and to incapacitate populations. In the name of 'the good' of course-US military project for the world, Meyssan, Voltaire, 8/22/17

US strategists like to compare their power to that of the Roman Empire. But that empire brought security and opulence to the peoples they conquered and integrated. It built monuments and rationalised their societies. On the contrary, US neo-imperialism does not intend to offer anything to the people. 

8/22/2017, “The US Military Project for the World,” Thierry Meyssan, VoltaireNet.org 

“US strategic thought” (subhead) 

“For the last 70 years, the obsession of US strategists has not been to defend their people, but to maintain their military superiority over the rest of the world. During the decade between the dissolution of the USSR and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, they searched for ways to intimidate those who resisted them…. 

The Straussians (meaning the disciples of philosopher Leo Strauss) dreamed of waging and winning several wars at once (Full-spectrum dominance). This led to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, placed under a common command [2]…. 

US neo-imperialist thought… 

Destroying the state structures is to operate a plunge into chaos, a concept borrowed from Leo Strauss, but to which Barnett [Cebrowski’s assistant] gives new meaning. For the Jewish philosopher, the Jewish people can no longer trust democracies after the failure of the Weimar Republic and the Shoah. The only way to protect itself from a new form of Nazism, is to establish its own world dictatorship – in the name of Good, of course. It would therefore be necessary to destroy certain resistant states, drag them into chaos and rebuild them according to different laws [7].For Barnett, not only the few resistant people should be forced into chaos, but all those who have not attained a certain standard of life and once they are reduced to chaos, they must be kept there.”…
