  1. The US was never as bad as it has been since 9/11, either, and is falling fast. Today's US is not a good picture of what it once was like. It was much freer, and people born right after WWII had huge opportunities. A 1970 college grad could go to any city and find a job, and afford an apartment. Minimum wage and a couple of roommates could make Manhattan rent. But the Five Eyes are very worried about the non-Western world, that is clear, especially Russia, Serbia, etc. NATO isn't as solid as it was. The elites in NATO countries are tight with US/UK, maybe more than ever, but many people in France, Spain, Greece, and even Germany see through US/UK and want to cooperate with Russia. There is literally no anti-Slavic prejudice in France. It was a breath of fresh air living there.

  2. Reminds me of a Russian joke, "everything they told us about communism was false, and everything they told us about capitalism is true." But yeah, USSR was both better and worse than we were told. We were supposed to believe nothing important was happening there, but in fact it is the pivotal nation. I only found out the USSR defeated the Nazis about 50 years after WWII, when an Oxford military historian said so on public television, and that Soviets prevented nuclear war twice. Then I started reading Stephen F. Cohen.

  8.  @S.A.U.1489  Well, a secure base is one you can move from more easily, if it ever becomes necessary. A move from the Midwest to Florida or Arizona at age 75 is not easier than US to, say, Switzerland at 62, but people do it all the time.
