In 1796, George Washington stepped down. In his farewell address, he warned against “entangling alliances” and bitter party politics. He saw the seeds of division before the Republic was even old. Two centuries later? America is locked in endless alliances and choked by partisanship. NATO ties America to European wars; Pacific treaties drag it toward conflict with China. At home, the red-blue split is so toxic Washington’s warning reads like prophecy. We celebrate his birthday, but ignore his wisdom. Maybe the Father of the Nation saw something we didn’t want to admit: that America’s greatest enemy might be America itself. #Military #History #USPolitics
