Pat Buchanan: Too Many Wars. Too Many Enemies.

Posted on by

“Like the Romans, we have become an empire, committed to fight for scores of nations, with troops on every continent, and forces in combat operations of which the American people are only vaguely aware.  As in all empires, power is passing to the generals.  And what causes the greatest angst today in the imperial city?  Fear that a four-page memo worked up in the House Judiciary Committee may discredit Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia-gate.”

Russia warns of ‘war’ if UN plans to cut oil to North Korea are carried out

Posted on by

“Russia’s ambassador to North Korea has warned that a United Nations attempt to cut all oil supplies to the rogue nation could spark a global conflict. Last month, the U.N. Security Council voted to cut 90 percent of petroleum exports to North Korea, something the militarized state referred to as “‘an act of war.’ The U.S. has repeatedly accused both China and Russia of defying these sanctions and covertly providing their neighbor with oil supplies at sea, something which both of them have denied.”

FBI Claims RT Founder Beat Himself To Death In His Hotel Room In 2015

Posted on by

“The documents detailing the FBI investigation into Lesin’s death were just released Saturday morning.  In spite of the original cause of death noted as a heart attack, a few months later, the District of Colombia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) and Metropolitan Police Department said that ‘blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities and lower extremities’ contributed to Lesin’s death. ‘The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has released the cause and manner of death for Mikhail Lesin… Cause of Death: blunt force injuries of the head,’ the statement said.”

US Media Shops North Korea, Russia ‘Doomsday’ Nuke Narratives

Posted on by

Not long after last year’s ‘Nuclear Posture Review’, in which top American officials insisted world peace depended upon a massive nuclear rearmament program, and after two major nuclear strike false alarms in Hawaii and Japan, US media is now instilling further panic with two new rumors: that of a long-range North Korean missile strike, and that of a Russian ‘doomsday’ nuclear torpedo attack on the US coastlines.

This could be surmised from the nuclear paradox.  It tells us that nuclear armament incentivizes the nuclear armament of existing geopolitical competitors, while at the same time incentivizing interventionism against non-nuclear states through increasing their perceived costs of resistance.

The beneficiaries in this seemingly zero-sum game?  Arms manufacturers, of course, but also US uranium producers, who in a complete coincidence are currently agitating for protection from foreign competition.

‘Make Trade, Not War’ is China’s daring plan in the Middle East

Posted on by

“From the United States’ point of view, the National Security Strategy document highlighted how China and Russia are trying to shape a new geopolitical environment in the region, which contrasts sharply from Washington’s aims and interests.  It pointed out that while Russia is trying to advance its position as the leading political and military power broker, China is pushing ahead with a ‘win, win’ economic policy.”

Pentagon Unveils Pivot From War On Terror To New Cold War

Posted on by

“The strategy, the first such document to be issued by the Pentagon in roughly a decade, represented an historic shift from the ostensible justification for US global militarism for nearly two decades: the so-called war on terrorism.  ‘Great power competition—not terrorism—is now the primary focus of US national security,’ Mattis said in his speech, which accompanied the release of an 11-page declassified document outlining the National Defense Strategy in broad terms. A lengthier classified version was submitted to the US Congress, which includes the Pentagon’s detailed proposals for a massive increase in military spending.”

Tillerson Blames Russia By Default For Alleged Syria Chemical Attack

Posted on by

“Secretary of State Rex Tillerson blamed both Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and Russia for carrying out a purported new chemical attack in the Damascus suburb of East Ghouta.  In the same sentence Tillerson leveled the accusation against Russia, while simultaneously pointing the finger at Assad, [thus admitting] that he really doesn’t know much at all about ‘whoever conducted the attacks’.”

Tillerson’s open-ended Syria war proves US is stuck in mideast quicksand

Posted on by

“American forces went to Syria with the declared objective of pushing the ISIS terror gang out of territory it had seized there. This has been accomplished. It is an ideal moment for the U.S. to declare victory and depart. That, however, would be hauling down our flag. By Roosevelt’s logic — and evidently Tillerson’s — American soldiers should not be withdrawn from any country where they have ever been deployed.”

“Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan:  This trifecta of semi-permanent US military engagements reflects the extraordinary power of the Pentagon to sway even a president who had made opposition to such policies a central element of his campaign.”
