The Great American Blunder
by James Rickards Daily Reckoning
From a geopolitical perspective, the U.S. today has never been weaker than since the post-Vietnam era.
Remember the images of U.S. helicopters taking off from its South Vietnamese embassy in 1975, loaded with refugees trying to escape the country?
It was a national humiliation.
So was the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2022. Desperate Afghans, eager to escape Taliban rule, clung to American transports leaving Kabul.
It might represent an even greater national humiliation.
