  1. Of course a military officer knows MMT, pushed to its logical extreme, is absurd. That is because one part of the reason the US Dollar is the global reserve currency is the fact we have 800 bases in 70 countries. People who think that the global military presence plays zero part in dollar hegemony are naive.

Then there are the hot spots we don't hear about until an American service member is killed. Our bases are everywhere, and how "hot" the region around each one, is at each moment is something we do not know.

  5. The Red Army defeated Hitler's Wehrmacht, but the US clearly won the war. Last man standing. The Red Army was multiethnic and multireligious. Some of its greatest heroes were Jewish.
