Madeleine Albright, the United States’ first female secretary of state, has died at age 84. During her long career, she distinguished herself by her unapologetic assertion of U.S. power for the purpose of keeping the peace (sic) as well as several significant diplomatic breakthroughs.
The daughter of Josef Korbel, a Czech refugee from Nazism and diplomat in his own right, Albright was forthright in saying that her life story had shaped her diplomatic doctrine. “You have to understand, for me, Americans liberated Europe,” Albright told me in an interview in 1999, just before she helped orchestrate the U.S. military intervention in Kosovo to save Kosovar Muslims from then-Serbian autocrat Slobodan Milosevic. “I mean, I come out of a Europe where I felt great wrong had been done because good people waited too long to try to figure out what to do. … I do believe in American power. That is my political philosophy and my foreign-policy views, added to my own personality, which is that I have always been an activist.”
Yet her hawkish views at times got her into trouble, both in the media and with her colleagues in then-U.S. President Bill Clinton’s administration. An early advocate of using U.S. military force in Bosnia, Albright once upbraided Colin Powell, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “‘What’s the point of having this superb military that you’re always talking about if we can’t use it?’” Powell wrote Albright as saying in his memoir, My American Journey. “‘I thought I would have an aneurysm.’”
Yada yada yada.
The rest is similar puffery to glorify those who make the wounds. We get the point.

All these Neo-Cons from Eastern Europe become hideous and depraved individuals when they gravitate towards the US hegemony. It’s their only outlet in fanning the flames of their virulent hatred towards what their nations were unable to overcome. George Soros, the ultra-militants in The Ukraine- all damaged & perverted individuals.
