How the US uses internal and peripheral destabilization instead of military force. Recall the US supporting the Afghan "freedom fighters" against the Russian occupation, that later morphed into Al Qaeda, radical Islamism, and ISIS.
Zbigniew Brzezinski's career began in the Carter administration. He is a Democrat. Hilary Clinton as secretary of state was fully involved in this strategy as was Bill Clinton in Serbia-Bosnia. There is no perceptible difference between the two parties on US foreign policy other than the GOP is more prone to involving the US directly in military action. But the outcome is the same.

Extremely good strategic analysis of US foreign policy based on implementing Brzezinski's grand strategy.
Bringing everything full circle, Brzezinski has gone back to his basics of luring America’s adversaries into strategic entanglements from which they cannot retreat. His history of instigating the Soviet-Afghan War by having the CIA train and arm the Mujahideen before the Soviet intervention must never be forgotten. The concept of the Eurasian Balkans has largely overshadowed this chapter of Brzezinski’s past, but it does not mean that it is no less important for America’s contemporary strategic doctrine. As the US’ unipolar moment approaches dusk, the dawn of the multipolar era is around the corner. This necessitates a fundamental shift in the US’ previous pattern of offensive advancement into Eurasia, hence the revival of the Lead From Behind strategy.
