These elements create an environment of shifting priorities and favor short-term thinking. The whole western strategy against Russia is starting to come apart after merely three years. illustrating how the inherent volatility of liberal democracies becomes a significant disadvantage.
We cannot forget that The Agency is supposed to play that stable role in the USA and that the Five Eyes formation is the USA’s attempt at exporting that stability to pillars of the empire.
