Will America Survive?
The foreign policy of the United States is in the hands of the least capable, most uninformed, and most reckless morons the American education system has yet produced, and their successors, if any, will be worse.
American aggression toward the world is hidden under a euphemism: “national defense.” In past years before euphemisms took over from reality, the Secretary of Defense was known as the Secretary of War.
Washington conducted wars against Mexico. Against the Confederate States of America. Against the native American Indians. Against Spain from whom Washington seized Cuba and the Philippines. Against varied Central and South American countries–remember US Marine Commander Smedley Butler, twice decorated with America’s highest honor, who said that he and his US Marines were the enforcement squad in Latin America for the United Fruit Company and the New York Banks who were exploiting Latin America to the hilt, backed up by the bayonets of the US Marine Corps.
The name of the War Department changed, but we went on to wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Caribbean, overthrowing various countries in central and South America. Then in Africa where leaders and governments were overthrown. Then in Yugoslavia. Then in the Middle East where Washington eliminated Israel’s opponents for Israel. Then in South Ossetia against Russia. Then in Ukraine again against Russia. And now the US has wars pending against Iran and China, while continuing the one against Russia by shifting the burden to Europe.
In no way is this “national defense.”
We are witnessing the continuation of Washington’s policy of hegemony. Washington negotiates with Russia, China, Iran, for one purpose only. To present them with “peace agreements” that they cannot possibly accept in order for Washington to say it tried for peace, but Russia, China, and Iran refused the peace offers.
The “peace offers” amount to the surrender of sovereignty of Russia, China, and Iran. They have to conform their policies to Washington’s instructions. Iran has to dismantle its national defense and destroy its conventional missiles. Iran can’t sell any oil to China or anyone else. Iran can’t enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Russia can’t have all of its conquests of the Russian territories in Ukraine. Ukraine won’t be demilitarized. Russia will be punished with more sanctions if Putin doesn’t agree to a ceasefire before he knows what the deal is. Ukraine can have de facto NATO membership with a mutual security clause with the West. China can’t continue succeeding economically more than Amer
