Pepe Escobar: The illusory state of the Empire

“Obama’s legacy may be in the process of being forged. We might call it Shadow War Forever – coupled with the noxious permanence of Guantanamo. The Pentagon for its part will never abandon its ‘full spectrum’ dream of military hegemony, ideally controlling the future of the world in all those shades of grey zones between Russia and China, the lands of Islam and India, and Africa and Asia. Were lessons learned? Of course not. Obama can afford to be self-confident because the Drone Empire is safe.  Most Americans seem to absent-mindedly endorse it – as long as ‘the terrorists’ are alien, not US citizens.”
