Pear relates a sad story that starts with treaties with Native Americans, leading to the expression, "White man speaks with forked tongue."

China is undoubtedly livid over this instance of the US being agreement-incapable, even before the ink was dry. Why bother negotiating?

“The US has no intention of keeping its agreements, as the historical record shows. They are just a matter of temporary convenience subject to overall national policy, strategy and tactics.”
Yes. Israel is the same way. Agreements are only to be honored as long as it is advantageous to do so. Actually many nations are this way, and have been throughout history. The Roman Empire routinely made agreements with its neighbors, and routinely violated them.
In all cases the violating party “justifies” his treachery by imagining that he is “God’s chosen.” (Jews are “God’s chosen.” The USA is the “indispensable nation.”)
If all else fails, we simply declare that some national leader is a “dictator” who is guilty of “human rights violations.” This justifies our bombing to “save the children.”
Samantha Powers’ 2003 book A Problem From Hell was awarded the Pulitzer prize for justifying “humanitarian” genocide and carpet-bombing. And since Ms. Power was radically pro-Israel (her husband is a Jewish supremacist), Obama made her his UN ambassador for Obama’s second four years. (Then Trump installed Nikki Haley, who is even more psychopathic.)
Incidentally Yves Smith praises Muammar Gaddafi, but she calls him an “eccentric dictator.” In reality, Gaddafi had already retired from political life by the time NATO destroyed Libya in 2011.
This shows how pervasive the slogans and buzzwords are. Most people call Kim Jong-Un a “dictator” even when they favor peace with North Korea. Democratically elected leaders like Nicolas Maduro, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad are all “dictators.”
Any leader who refuses to enslave his own people for the Empire is a “dictator.”
It's not so much that the US is "agreement incapable" as that the US has no intention of keeping its agreements, as the historical record shows.
Gorbachev can vouch for this! ;)
"[NATO] not one inch past the East German border."
Historical precedent, too. The absolute destruction of North Korea and the decimation of its population (1/3 killed) in the Korean War, an exercise of war conducted purely for profit, complete with false flags and provocations.

Matt, there are many categories of degree programs — science, social science, humanities, business, arts, etc.
Economics should be taught as a subject that combines social science, humanities, and business. Economics is neither a physical science nor a life science, although both have some implications for economics.
Conventional economics is taught under the presumption that it is a quasi-physical science. It is not.
Economics is certainly about sociology and some psychology, which are soft sciences. Economics is a study of how populations behave economically. But I don't think many economists have done much ground work on populations or the general public. Just some limited research on college students. Therefore not properly trained and their theories are hypothetical and speculative. This is quasi-science.
