It is with this understanding that our guest Salim Mansur, before looking at the road ahead, looks back at the road not taken<\/strong>, and imagines a possible future (our present) that might have transpired had the West chosen the \u201croad less traveled\u201d as Roosevelt intended following World War 2. In so doing, Salim prepares us to face our next major fork in the road of history, in the hopes that we do not again become victims of a \u201crepeating\u201d history mired in perpetual wars.<\/p>\n

Driven by the \u201cdeep state,\u201d America\u2019s transformation from a constitutional republic to an empire has ironically made America weaker, not stronger.<\/strong> After all, empires depend on two things that do not exist: eternal allies and perpetual enemies. In attempting to sustain these fictions, empires eventually collapse; America is now standing at this fork in the road of its history. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, turning Russia into a \u201cperpetual enemy\u201d may prove to be the American Empire\u2019s undoing. History has repeatedly demonstrated that not only is this false, but that Russia has been an ally to America during America\u2019s darkest hours <\/strong>\u2013 including even the American civil war (another historical vacuum in the minds of most). And freedom’s debt to the Red Army in the last world war \u201ccan never be repaid\u201d when taking into account the disproportionate millions of Russian lives lost in the Second World War.
\n
\nThe choice now facing America is whether to take the road less traveled – back towards being a constitutional republic – or to continue down its current path of perpetual war and empire building<\/strong>. Though never a certainty, odds are that the road less traveled will be the one that proves to be Just Right.<\/p>\n

As the world considers a possible nuclear confrontation over Ukraine, we find ourselves on a path of history that too few comprehend. It is in this vacuum that many engage in predictions and expectations utterly disconnected from the continuum of events driving the forces of history.
