I’m currently really fascinated in learning about the emergence of America’s identity as the unipolar world power. After watching George H W Bush’s 1990 world order speech it became apparent to me that there was a coherent philosophy behind it. Therefore, I want to understand more about the philosophy, what the sentiment was at the time for how people felt, and the events that shaped or destroyed this vision.Questions/statements:>how did people around the world feel about it at the time?>why did Saddam invade Kuwait and what was the Soviet Unions role with Iraq?>did public opinion about this United world change upon the results of the Iraq war in 2003 or even the Balkan wars? How?>what were the Balkan wars and what was the U.S. role and implications of the conflict?>what position was China and Russia in during this time and what changed?

The "Grand Area" was an imperialistic conception of the post-World War II U.S. national interest, a vast geographic region encompassing the Western Hemisphere, large parts of Europe and Asia, and eventually the defeated Axis powers, within which American economic interests would be paramount.

Bush sr was CIA so yes the CIA had a global objective that they could now enforce with their man in office
>>18249362CIA objectives have been getting met since OSS, their gameplan is straight out of council of foreign relations. The UN is an intelligence gathering conference, NATO is the military to combat anyone that would threaten US hegemony. In latin america they sponsored nationalists. They started wars to test weapons, they sold weapons to every corner of the world just like the soviets. They allied with the chinese economically against the russians to collapse their economy while they were stuck in Afghanistan. Now they help the saudis kill jihadists and people allied to russia and probably had a hand in creating the jihadists
>>18249804Sure, but I don't know how that's supposed to our problem.
>>18249119I'm not going to do your homework for you, slick.
>>18249119What exactly was even the goal of the US after winning the cold war?Suppose that Russia and China also had become democratic pro-western states, then now what?
>>18249804I doubt that the US shit on the UN all the time please demonstrate their ties. Groups like Le Cercle and the IMF are more CIA aligned.
>>18250016the UN is what allows illegal aliens to flood into white countries and then stay because they were told what to say by a cellphone app
>>18249953At that point we're entering the territory of wtf is the point of Foreign Policy in general? What end goals does *any* country really have beyond continued independent existence?
