August1991 Posted November 22, 2025 Report Posted November 22, 2025 Various Bush guys, Clinton, Gore. Biden, his wife. I'm sure Obama was there. Xi, nor Putin were not at the funeral. Why? Trump was also noticeably not at the funeral. ===== With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, America won the Cold War. The world entered a new era. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted November 22, 2025 Report Posted November 22, 2025 Trump wasn't invited. With the cold war won, American corporations increased their reach globally. They reached a geopolitical limit in the 2000s when corporate profits, competing powers and domestic politics came into direct conflict. We're at the point of end game for that game now.

Who won the Cold War? Who defeated the Soviet Union, the Communists? I reckon LBJ - Nixon/Kissinger got along to get along. Reagan said no. Gorbachev said yes. Quote
August1991 Posted November 24, 2025 Author Report Posted November 24, 2025 Dick Cheney was a cold warrior in a world beyond the cold war. Our PM Jean Chretien had the temerity to stand up to him, and Bush. Quote

Our PM Jean Chretien had the temerity to stand up to him, and Bush. Cheney was considered a neocon. The fact that Obama was invited, as Hillary and Bill also shows, they are neo-liberals. They pursue a common agenda of US exceptionalism, and the need for wars. That Trump was not invited is in fact very good. Like when you have sweet potato pie. Quote

Because every President before Trump was not dealing with Putin/Russia and Xi/China? I swear, how are you as dumb and dishonest as you are? Edited November 24, 2025 by User Quote

The world faced a similar problem in 1945. The political world, since 1989 or so, is a complicated place. Quote

Nixon was an appeaser - a true peace-maker. ===== To his credit, Nixon managed peace in his time. 1 Quote
