I find it odd that you would invoke this, as it undercuts your previous statements.

How so? the Nixon Doctrine is the declaration of the death of American direct intervention with soldiers; which means that the U.S army with all its might is useless in winning wars directly.
We saw its defeat in the Vietnam war, then the Iraq war; this army is useless against guerilla tactics.
So America, to gain victories on the ground, needs another force to do the dirty work for it -such as the Afghan Mujaheddin-. It can't win with its soldiers because -let's face it-: they are mercs.
lol - American soldiers are not mercenaries.
But what has any of this got to do with George Floyd?
