I know neoconservatism went out of fashion after Iraq, but the US-dominated system thrives on making everyone freer and the world more open, and it's a good thing. Coup or no coup, expansion of the US sphere of influence is good, and expansion of the Russian influence is bad, it's that simple in my view as an Eastern European (as it is on the eyes of the vast majority of people liberated from the Soviet/Russian world).
- DiogenesKynikos 4y agoNeoconservatism went out of fashion because the neocons pushed for wars that killed hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East, and completely destroyed the region for nearly two decades (and counting). American actions during this period severely undermined the international legal order, violating prohibitions on wars of aggression, torture, and assassination.
