Kissinger: “Pre-Emptive Attack” Against North Korea “Is Strong” Possibility

Posted on by

“Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has said that he agrees with the aggressive statements President Trump has made towards North Korea. The former Secretary of State said that the Trump Administration ‘will hit that fork in the road, and the temptation to deal with it with a pre-emptive attack’ against North Korea ‘is strong, and the argument is rational.'”

Trump’s North Korea Rhetoric: Carbon Copy of Bush On Iraq 15 Years Ago

Posted on by

“Anyone who was paying attention during George W. Bush’s State of the Union addresses in 2002 and 2003 would have found Trump’s statements frighteningly familiar: Trump used exactly the same justifications for war with North Korea as Bush had for war with Iraq when standing at the same podium.”

Trump Nuke Plan Resets the Doomsday Clock

Posted on by

“The 2018 NPR eschews traditional nuclear disarmament pathways in favor of a more aggressive posture that seeks to make nuclear weapons more accessible to American policymakers when formulating deterrence.  The possibility of a tit-for-tat exchange of cyberattacks that escalates into a nuclear conflict would previously have been dismissed out of hand; today, thanks to the 2018 NPR, it has entered the realm of the possible.”

By reversing policy in Syria, the US is fuelling more wars in the Middle East

Posted on by

“It was a bad moment for the US to stir the pot by saying it would stay in Syria and target Assad and Iran. A Kurdish-Turkish war in northern Syria will be a very fierce one. The US obsession with an exaggerated Iranian threat – about which, in any case, it cannot do much – makes it difficult for Washington to mediate and cool down the situation. Trump and his chaotic administration have not yet had to deal with a real Middle East crisis yet and the events of the last week suggest that they will not be able to do so.”

American Paths, Chosen and Not (1989-2018)

Posted on by

“If I were to pick a single decision by an American president and his team in this century as our own August 1914, I would choose the invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003. Of course, in that era of the ‘sole superpower,’ there were no other great powers (as in the World War I moment) ready to leap into the fray, so the unraveling that followed across a significant part of the planet would prove not to be a world war but a one-power hell on Earth. And it’s continued to unfold over nearly a decade and a half.”

The State of Our Union: A House Divided, Enslaved & Mired in Past Mistakes

Posted on by

“The list of abuses being perpetrated against the American people by their government is growing rapidly: SWAT teams crashing through doors. Militarized police shooting unarmed citizens. Traffic cops tasering old men and pregnant women for not complying fast enough with an order. Resource officers shackling children for acting like children. Citizens being jailed for growing vegetable gardens in their front yards and holding prayer services in their backyards. Drivers having their cash seized under the pretext that they might have done something wrong.  Brace yourselves. We are approaching critical mass.”

“We choose debt. . .”

Posted on by

“‘We choose both!’  Given the thunderous applause at that remark, everyone seemed to agree that the wealthiest, most prosperous nation in the world should never have to make a single tough financial decision.  Americans should have everything they want. And somehow, the money to pay for it all will just magically appear.”

Robert Mueller’s forgotten surveillance crime spree

Posted on by

“Most of the subsequent press coverage has shown nary a doubt about Mueller’s purity. But, during his 11 years as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mueller’s agency routinely violated federal law and the Bill of Rights.”
