Respectfully, the premise of 'thought leadership' having the theme of 'responsible citizenship' where everyone is pro-Israel at all costs (that cost being genocide), where the US DOD hegemony is never questioned including the behemoth of the NSA-CIA Pine Gap spying and drone strike facility in the Australian central desert is utterly bizarre.

Who could have anticipated during late 2nd century BCE when Gaius Marius implemented them that the Marian Reforms, which were aimed at transforming the semi-professional Roman citizen's militia into a professional army, sowed the seeds of collapse for such a doughty republic metastasising into so mighty and long-lasting an empire, and finally extinguishing about half a millennium later?
