A scholarly work I couldn't make any sense of is the book "Warrior Politics" and I a not sure what the author Robert Kaplan is trying to get across. This book evidently is made for other elite scholars like himself and. Am supposed that this turkey is listed as one of the top authors on history. Aside from look g like he is always in need of a major dump and alot of toilet paper with it, Robert Kaplan is a well-versed and well read man. He wants to show up the other academics and historians that he knows his history and ancient Philosophy. 
Somehow Kaplan thinks by looking at ancient philosophers back in the day like Machiavelli that modern leaders he can get a better ne'er standing of political warfare and the challenges they face. This is an illusion and he should of realized from his first chapter knowing that leaders are different in different ti es and situations and he looks at Winston Churchill's early days would point this out . Robert Kaplan though thinks these two Churchill's are basically the same and the river colonial experiences molded is thinking forty years later when confronting Hitler.

Kaplan does get it that the millions of young warriors angry about the injustices of globalization where a small percentages of peoples gain the most economically is Provo g a new challenge to armies and Western nations to constantly gain technologically so they can keep this proto-type colonialism going and much of the world poor or working cheaply for their corporations. 
They have gained from revolutions from the poor of their own countries with a media wing of government in America that plays out democratic institutions when it is the same party of elites in control more able to enjoy the fruits of others labor and prosper greater from poor around the world. In fact, much of what immigration is in America has also been an escape hatch for families of rulers in Europe and Asia where they know they are safe and looted finances protected. Kaplan spends some time speaking on Rome in this book and this is a smart thing because ultimately America will end up like it with North Aerica being as fragmented as Europe after the collapse of Rome. The United States is becoming a disunited mass of city-states and ethnic enclaves with self servi g interests cari g little of other regions within the orders and this is a sign of a broken system especially given our political discord
