'Hello, Lenin!' Three Components of America's Misguided Foreign Policy

• ronpaulinstitute.org

Whether under Republican George W. Bush or Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, we have seen "regime changes" and "color revolutions," facilitation of global jihadism while claiming to combat it, and gratuitous confrontation with post-communist Russia which was going out of its way to become our reliable ally.

For those familiar with the operational code of the late Soviet Union, the counterproductive skew of American policy has a familiar ring. The Bolsheviks sacrificed the interests of the Russian people in pursuit of their Marxist-Leninist vision. In his famous work, "The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism," Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet state, described the roots of his ruling ideology in 19th century German philosophy, British political economy, and French utopian socialism.

It's time to ask why, under GOP and Democrat administrations alike, American foreign policy is so dysfunctional. Also, one could notice that this policy has three components as well.
