Whoever Is Elected War Is the Policy

Why is it always war?

Do Westerners like to kill people?

The fact that the final solution for Americans is murder shows that the death penalty is still in place. (Japan still has the death penalty.)

But if you think about it, the death penalty is overwhelmingly advantageous to the powerful, the powerful side.

 

なぜいつも戦争なのか。

欧米人は人殺しが好きなのか。

アメリカ人の最終的な解決方法が殺人であることは、死刑制度が未だに残っていることから分かる。（日本も死刑制度が残っている）

しかしよく考えてみれば、死刑という制度は圧倒的に権力側、力の強い側にとり有利だ。

Whoever Is Elected War Is the Policy

Paul Craig Roberts

Exceptional America Believes That the Sovereignty of Other Countries Is Impermissible Unless It Serves Washington’s Interests

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells us that despite the record of destroying in whole or part eight countries in recent years, the US is a “force for good.”  This is the Trump regime’s version of the neoconservative doctrine espoused by President Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: “If we have to use force, it is because we are America; we are the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us.”  The notion that Iraq was a danger to the US shows imbecility.  The inhumanity of Washington’s response to the “danger” was sanctions that resulted in the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children. When asked on national television if a half million dead children achieved a justified purpose, the heartless Albright said that it was “a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.”

The neoconservatives, with their preference for war uber alles are running the Trump regime.  It appears that the reelection of Donald Trump will be a continuation of the Bill Clinton presidency, the George W. Bush presidency, and the Obama presidency.  Whoever is elected War is the policy.

Philip Giraldi tells us about it:  https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/leading-neocon-directs-pentagon-middle-east-planning/ 

What Giraldi forgets to mention is that the “terrorist” groups are Washington’s creations and serve as Washington’s tools to advance the war agenda.  

Giraldi gives away too much when he characterizes the Hussein and Gaddafi governments as dictatorships.  Authority was centralized, as it is in Washington, but the governments had to balance contending forces in the societies and were dependent on a large element of consent. It is not certain that both countries were ruled any worse than the US, a country’s whose FBI and Department of Justice (sic) does not hesitate to frame-up the President of the United States and his National Security Advisor. The extraordinary conflict that Democrats brought to US political life since 2016 exceeds the internal conflict that had to be managed by Iraq’s Hussein and Libya’s Gaddafi.

Washington is certainly exceptional, but not in a good way.
