Tyrannical on 19 December 2008
Crackdown always felt like a half finished game to me. The large sandbox city was great, but there was just a lack of interesting missions.
It was like mercenaries where you have to capture / kill the HVT targets, but all the missions were gone.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
