Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): In an article titled “Joe Biden Risks A Major Middle East War If He Makes The Wrong Choices,” The Huffington Post cites anonymous US officials who fear the careless and chaotic behavior of their commander-in-chief is going to embroil the US in a hot war between Israel and Lebanon.
"The problem is no one can rein in Biden, and if Biden has a policy, he’s the commander-in-chief ― we have to carry it out. That’s what it comes down to, very, very, very unfortunately.’ ”
I remember when the military ignored Trump telling them to bring the troops home from Syria and a few other countries. Then there was the CIA and the pentagon ignoring Obama’s ceasefire and they let their terrorists break the ceasefire and attack each other’s terrorists.
Just the fact that Austin's vacancy went unnoticed for almost a week shows us that even the pentagon's most powerful dude isn’t in charge of what the military does. Maybe it’s the council on foreign relations that is in charge or one of the defense industry’s think tanks.
But it’s so hypocritical of Biden to tell other countries not to think about attacking Israel while he lets Israel bomb whoever the fck it wants to. If this continues then yes Biden will own starting WWW-3..
And on the domestic front, under the Biden Administration, sending an IRS agent to the home of investigative journalist Matt Taibbi while he is testifying before a Congressional committee on 'The Weaponization of the Federal Government on the Twitter Files.' Intimidation? Fascist much? Something shitlibs will accuse Trump of ad nauseum.
"Humanity won’t ever have a chance at a healthy and peaceful world until that world is freed from the tyranny of a planet-dominating power structure that is fueled by human blood."
You can't say it any better than that. It's what the world needs now... to be truly free from the tyrannical system that takes and takes and feasts upon human blood. Capitalism.
It must also be said that empire's are parasitic stealing the wealth and well-being of Americans and NATO puppet states. We Westerners think the mighty empire is our protection from conniving enemies, its not. It is actually destroying our societies. It is entirely predictable in 20 years USA will be like Britain, broke and on the ropes. Empires are as fallible as the idiots that run them, and they can only write so many cheques before they start bouncing. Empires are houses of cards built on quick sand.
NOT TRUE, NO ONE HAS TO OBEY *ILLEGAL*, UNSCRUPULOUS AND/OR ILL-ADVISED ORDERS OF THEIR SO-CALLED "COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF"!!!!! AND THE PRESIDENT, ANY AND ALL U.S. PRESIDENTS, IS AND/OR ARE *ONLY* THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF *OF THE MILITARY* AND THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF THAT ARE MILITARY, *NOT* COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF *ANYONE ELSE* IN THE PRESIDENT'S ADMINISTRATION AND/OR CABINET, AND CERTAINLY NOT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (UNLESS THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY) WHO THE PRESIDENT IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT (HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH)!
It's like everyone in U.S. politics today, as well as most of the American people, falsely believe that the president is their "Commander-in-Chief". This is a really dangerous precedent because it encourages everyone to be on a military footing, to falsely believe that whatever the president orders militarily must be "necessary", and to blindly support almost anything and everything that the presidency orders. On the contrary, we all as Americans have the DUTY to NOT obey orders that are not truly to the benefit of the American people, the world, and to national and international security. So, obviously, if the president orders something that is disagreed to by most of their primary staff, and/or the majority of the American people, the staff have the duty to not allow it to be followed.
Yeah Trump was not perfect, but no wars under Trump, and gee he wanted to get along with Russia, but they wouldn't let him so he stupidly sang their song. He supported sanctions in Venezuela , but all the democrats supported him, except Sanders. Albright, under Bill Clinton thought 500 thousand dead children was worth it. The democrats also supported the overturn of the Iran deal. No wars under Trump!!!!!!!!!
Vladimir Putin acknowledged the US presidential election coming up and opined that it really did not matter who was elected president of the US. Putin and I are in complete agreement with Caitlin as far as the duopoly. However, because I REFUSE to vote for evil (greater or lesser), I will vote for Jill Stein. RESIST. ABOLISH THE DUOPOLY. SMASH THE DEEP STATE.
As I have said previously, as have others, the US only has one aim which is to be a worldwide empire. There is very little difference between the Republican and Democratic parties, they are both right-wing. Americans love killing people anywhere in the name of power and money or even, as we see so often, for no reason at all.
As to the point that the US carries out the military operations it does because the president says so is nonsense. He is just one man and those in the military could say no. There have been many wars fought and hearings held whereby soldiers said they did what they did because they were told to and they were still found guilty of war crimes. This particularly applies to Nazis after WW2.
The reason the US military does what it does is because it loves what it does and the vast majority of Americans love the war machine doing it. It’s the Trump MAGA stuff though the US has never been great before to make it great again.
"Amazingly, the Biden administration has managed to easily top Trump in aggression and maximalism, destabilizing relations to an alarming degree with the planet’s two other major economic (China) and nuclear (Russia) powers, while continuing, and accelerating, bluntly threatening, uncompromising approaches to any states defying imperial hegemony." https://open.substack.com/pub/ourimperialpress/p/the-imperial-end-timers?r=nv5i&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Nah….

Face it. The world would be a safer place without the U.S. in it.
No matter who’s in office, seems like a race to the bottom

P.S.---I laugh again, with tears in my heart.

The atrocities shall continue as long as the empire continues to exist. That’s the point. As simple as that. 😐

Couldn't agree more. The empire is as the empire does.
I don’t see how anyone could be surprised. We should have learned our lesson after Obama.
