That seems a fair approximation to the Realist school that has been very influential in the US
Is that a scam to get people's phone numbers or is it just a classic case of "everything Microsoft touches turns to $h17?"I suspect it's not so much Microsoft as bots, if they're pushing it. Although it's true that Microsoft et al seem to have some ideas about 2FA as well…
BTW I just realized I posted this in the Otter forums. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate location if you want.Seeing how Otter is on GitHub it seems quite appropriate to me.
Is that a scam to get people's phone numbers or is it just a classic case of "everything Microsoft touches turns to $h17?"Yes and yes.
There's this guy called Peter Zeihan whose thesis is that USA has given up on its world police role, turned inward to isolationism, and the rest of the world is on its own now, resulting in, among others, regional bullies extorting their neighbours. I have resented his thesis partly, because to me it seems that USA has always policed the world selectively and suppressed regional bullies selectively, occasionally switching sides. Instead of world police enforcing common rules, USA has been operating as the supreme colonial power to whom other (arguably ex-)colonial powers look up to as a primus inter pares.
So the post-Soviet-collapse World Order, in the Western mentality, has been:
1. USA, the supreme global colonial power
2. Currently lesser (ex-)colonial powers, mainly Old/Western Europe
3. (Re-)Emerging powers, such as India, China or Russia, which are termed "regional bullies" if antagonistic to the above-named elements
4. Smaller countries
