    Here is my prediction: the current crop of “democratic socialist” socdems that were elected this year and that will be elected in 2028, 5-10 years from now will be the biggest warmongers and most fanatical advocates for regime change, color revolutions and pink-washed neocolonialism, as they realize that the social democratic welfare system they promised to protect and expand cannot be maintained in this terminal, moribund phase of capitalism and a de-industrializing imperal core without the plunder of the global south, whose slipping away from the imperial grasp they will seek to halt and reverse at all costs.

      While I’m still holding out hope, I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if Abdul El-Sayed changes his name to Abdul El-AIPAC in a couple years time…

        Israel has become too toxic, but the anti-Russia obsession is still very popular with the liberal base. The Dems will shift financial and military support from Israel to Nazi Ukraine and they will rebuild and hypercharge the USAID/NED machinery against Russia-China aligned global south countries.

        Neocons are dying out. When the boomer generation kicks the bucket they will have no more base of support. The new crop of imperialist warmongers who will replace them are the liberal interventionists, the “Slava Ukraine”, “free Hong Kong” libs and the “leftists” who signed the anti-Iran open letter, accused China of “cultural genocide”, and called Cuba and Venezuela “authoritarian dictatorships”.
