If the latest review of the "end of history" shows one thing- there is always adversarial minds at work. The whole "free world" mindset has collapsed in on itself the moment the us withdrew into isolationism. The world out there, is run by the old landempires gobbling up neighbors again. No progress has been made and to defend against barbaric adversaries, one must keep dependency on them low.
There always is a bill - and business is helping the enemies of liberty to prepare. They are not interested in peaceful coexistence, quite contrary, the conflict is a carrying pillar to upkeep societal/tribal structural integrity. And war & peace is a defector game- only one needs to defect to put the others in the same position as the defector. So "business as usual" with non-free block aligned nations- will always be long-term collusion with the enemy.
