Another hard-hitting column from Paul Craig to remind his people of what is being sown by "1%". Bush/Obama have, reportedly, killed over 2 million people in Iraq/Af-Pak. All could not be terrorists.

We aren't all brainwashed..but I will say that your statement is mostly true. It's sad, and I'm guilty of not upholding my oath to protect and defend the consitution, but at least I'm aware of it whereas most are not. When the time comes, you can only hope people wake up.

Anybody remember the old 80's BBC drama Threads? In that movie, the global nuclear war was triggered by a confrontation between US and Russia over Iran... started with a few "tactical" strikes by each side and over the course of a week, escalated to a full-on global nuclear war with over 3 gigatons of nuclear munitions used by both sides. Looking at current events, one could easily imagine a scenario that would result in something like that.

Are the military elite STUPID or just WAR MONGERS? Neither, they are just completely immersed in a bubble of their own design. I would argue that the policy wonks, lawyers, diplomats, military brass, etc are living in their own reality where war and war planning are the norm. A thought I had last night was about a show that was on TV a couple years ago called "The Colony". The idea was that they took 10 people and put them into a post-disaster scenario in an abandoned part of LA. They had to scavenge, fight off "raiders", and deal with a number of different adversities. At first, the participants played the "game", but over time, the premise of the show became a reality to them and they seemed to honestly start to believe they were a "colony" in a post-disaster world. They went so far as to fabricate very lethal weapons to "defend their colony from raiders". It was quite interesting from a sociological aspect. Whenever people are immersed in a particular culture / circumstance, that becomes the reality to them, even if it's only illusionary.

Overunning countries that can not defend themselves has given the Pentagon a false sense of superiority......leading to more aggresiveness which will undoubtedly be decimated when challanged by a country that has a defensive system that will fight....and if includes Russia and China....it'll be back to the dark ages...

"The Sorrows of Empire" What most of the American people fail to see, is that vast security/military machine when finally forced to retreat, will come home and turn on them.. How fitting! Some predict that by the year 2020 they will be about 30,000 drones in skies over the US.. Corporate, law enforcement, and government operated and owned. T

local native collaborators do help a lot in reducing the cost of war on all fronts. In China Chinese CIA agents are shouldering all the costs of war with China, in Russia, Russian CIA agents are shouldering all the burdens for war with Russia, in Iran, Iranian CIA agents are shouldering war burdens and are doing so under the leadership of MOSSAD agent Hashemi Rafsanjoni. The cost of was is next to nothing for the US administration, particularly in Middle East were financial costs are met by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and Muslim CIA agents are acting as armed foot soldiers who are getting killed for the US cause. Americans are not paying much for the desire to dominate the world.

I am afraid that the lunatics in power in the USA are not thinking about conventional warfare. The USA has all of those Trident Missile Subs, likely sitting in the Arctic Ocean and the China Sea. The people in Moscow and Beijing won't even have time to duck and cover. The New American Century will be born with a bang and not a whimper. The American people will be told on television that this was an attack by alien flying saucers, and marshal law will be declared in the States for the protection of American Freedom. The US Army ground troops will be sent into China and Russia as humanitarian aide, and coincidentally to back up the new USA friendly regimes coming into power. Judge Judy will be sitting on the Supreme Court, and Dr. Phil will be the Surgeon General. It is going to be great!

Pretty bleak after a few months of talk of thawing relations between Russia and the US, the Russian and Chinese veto at the UN of the resolve to protect issue in Syria has frozen those relations now into permafrost, where;s the love, bros, what about world peace? Things could definitely be worse however, thing of the angst in the Empress knickers when this ill wind blows her inevitable way, not pretty will be the reaction, but the front boys will keep it clean for the general public. The British Culture so innurred to it's dog shows and breeding has another empress to thank, the Pekingese are funny little fellows, it spurred a revolution in dog breeding back in merry old England, after raiding her castle that is, I wouldnt go there again if I were the Brits, but then again they have people like Blair and Cameron for leaders and a royal family from the dark ages of Mary Queen of Scots spats with young Elizabeth back then, gee, I think the world has come full circle again with a few tides inevitablt turned off of their previous axis, the V for the US and their zionist forces isnt a gimme, neither is their officers corps own hearts and minds filled with the zeal it once was, 911's potions have warn full off, McCain defends Hillary;s islamic aid in the senate from Backmans venemous attacks, what gives, we all should be wondering, is it a full moon. Google Terri Ginsberg, like Molly Ivins, girlfriend is giving them hell, which is what these creeps deserve, anyone servicably proficient in the arts is asked to turn it up to full now.

Western foreign policies are driven by big business. The entire diplomatic service has collapsed under their bribes. Governments facilitate business wishes using embargoes, sanctions, NGOs, MSM and the armed forces with the intent of getting a greater share of the global economic pie and in the belief that the country with the deepest pockets gets its way. Why should we have this anti-social rule of force dictating international relations? Because its deemed to be earier to take someone else's wealth than create your own. We westerners have been quite successful at this game. We have never been so comfortable as we are. Its unnecessary to save-up for anything these days. Instant gratification is the characteristic of our generation until the moneymen extended their leveraging beyond prudent limits and required governments to draw the shortfall from us. There are two economic theories that found the science of economics - trickle-down and bubble-up. Nearly every economist promotes trickle-down because he gets more money for doing so. What we should be doing is elevating bubble-up. By putting domestic exchange at the forefront of government attention we put everything else on a sound basis.

......"unable to occupy Iraq after nine years or to defeat the lightly-armed Taliban after eleven years"...maybe not,but they wiped out millions(in that "millions" I also mean deformities,psychological trauma etc.) of people,destroyed entire towns,crops,animals and nature for years and years to come,in short they have been on a rampage of insane wild and crazed slaughetring of anything that moves for years now....so,all in all,I think the part sentence above is irrelevant,to me at least.....and I would have to question if they really did want to "occupy" or defeat the "taliban",I think they are very pleased with themselves and all the slaughtering they do before and after breakfast.

I don't think that they want conventional war on all fronts rather they want to destabilise, divide and conquer and keep the whole world down. They are just as involved in Africa and South America. If you want a job, I suspect there will be plenty in the US intelligence and black ops services - that is if you have the morals, ethics and humanity of a degenerate concentration camp guard.

Most of the brainwashed West would not believe Washington's lies if the CIA whore media spoke simply & plainly like PCR. Re-read the astonishingly obvious inescapable truths in this article & you're reminded of the hard work & tortuous twisted contortions & pretended blindness that the presstitutes must assume to avoid those simple truths. It's deplorable for any of the mentioned countries to collude with the rampaging double crossing 21st century U.S.Hitler on steroids, but what a travesty for U.S - bombed, poisoned & genocided Vietnam to embrace it's destroyer.

I know from personal experience of people I otherwise love and respect that no one is as brainwashed (so, both stupid and war-mongering) as the "true believers" of the US officer corps - so identified are some with their role they can't possibly detach from it until they stand with ashes in their mouthes over the limp bodies of their own kids. They actually believe blind loyalty to the State and chain of comman is the greatest possible virtue - even at the expense of loyalty to country, to truth, to sanity. Thinking of that conversation, I still have chills at how utterly devoid of real virtue that kind of "thinking" so obviously was and is. And at how inhuman military men can willingly become.

War on all fronts will definitely lead to America's undoing. Are the military elite STUPID or just WAR MONGERS? Don't endanger the lives of innocent citizens of our world.
