The recent Venezuelan ‘Peoples’
uprising,’ and subsequent coup touted by US-CIA ASS-et Juan
Guiado has fizzled out and failed, spectacularly.
The US
propaganda, disinformation, and psyops has not had the effect the US
neo-con warmongering circus thought it would.
The entire
coup on Tuesday, April 29, has gone bad, and the main ringleaders had
to flee for safety. Leopold Lopez, Juan Guiado’s right-hand has
fled to the Spanish embassy for protection, and Juan Guiado is hiding
somewhere.
These two fools have gotten themselves into a
bad predicament, and help is not forthcoming. They both face arrest
for treason and sedition.
Their fake US-choreographed
coup did not succeed because the majority of the Venezuelan people
and the military are against it.
US regime has seriously
overstepped its boundaries, and overestimated their own chances. They
realize that they are wrong here. Everyone can see this. Even the
feckless EU has been cold toward the failed coup attempt.
Trump
is making very dangerous mistakes here, and is getting terrible
advice. He needs to put a stop to the warmongering of the demented
neo-cons John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. These two criminals are leading
him down the primrose path to failure, where he will meet disaster
and disgrace at the other end. He will end up like George W. Bush,
whom these two characters also set up for failure with their Iraq war
lies.
And when the walls around Trump crumble in on him,
Bolton and Pompeo will jump ship by resigning, and will go on to work
for neo-con think tanks where they will keep on promoting their
criminal ideology, and wait for the next elected idiot that they can
manipulate and mislead to come along.
Is Trump really this
ignorant, and thinks that what he is doing is good? Is he being
forced to go along with this lunacy, or is he being fed
disinformation by Bolton and Pompeo, who are using him to pursue
their own evil establishment agendas?
The latter question
could explain the failure of the staged coup in Caracas earlier this
week. Trump may have been given bogus information that made things
look much more favorable than was the case, and naively signed off on
it. With a professionally-trained CIA liar like Mike Pompeo by his
side, this is quite likely.
But regardless of what
happened, Trump has already disgraced himself by breaking his
campaign promise to pursue good relations with countries, and to stop
the wars and interventions.
He has up to now, whether on
his own or as a result of the pressure brought on by the fake
Russia-gate fiction, broken international law by recognizing
Jerusalem and Golan Heights as zionist territory, backed out of the
JCPOA and INF, threatening to walk away from the START treaty,
imposing illegal sanctions, threatening military aggression against
states that are not a threat to the US, bombing Syria under false
pretense twice, and organizing illegal coups.
It is
doubtful whether Trump can ever redeem himself. He is too far gone by
now, and won’t listen to reason. He says one thing today, and does
the opposite tomorrow. He has surrounded himself with dangerous
advisers who are feeding him bad ideas.
It is now up to
Russia and China and other nations to help Venezuela weather this.
It is highly doubtful that the US will attack Venezuela.
US has no support within the country. A military attack on Venezuela
would be illegal and would result in a strong backlash, not to
mention a quagmire for any US forces sent there.
There is
no success for the US in any of this. All US regime changes so far
have been disasters. The longer US tries and fails, the less likely
it is that it will succeed. This has happened in Syria.
Trump
has only two options: economic recovery at home, or war. He can’t
have both.
Maybe Trump is just going
along with all this neo-con inspired nonsense for election
purposes.
Many people voted for him
because they saw him as a non-interventionist who will end the
warmongering and focus on the country.
But Trump has betrayed these
principles, and has lost much of the support from those who are
against regime changes and wars.
To make up for this loss of
support, he has turned to the polar-opposite for support:
interventionist malcontents, like the Cuban exile community, and
others who want the US to intervene in other countries to fight
'communism,' or whatever else these people see as bad.
Kudos
to Hugo Chavez for reorganizing the Venezuelan armed forces and
removing US-agents and other saboteurs from within its top ranks.
This has, no doubt, made a big difference.
The Venezuelan
armed forces have conducted themselves very professionally and
honorably. By not selling themselves out to the US regime, they
proved that they are not cheap charichatures that can be had for some
scraps off the US imperial table. What good would they be, if they
betrayed their country to a foreign power? They would’ve lost all
legitimacy.
All the best to Venezuela, Maduro, the people
of Venezuela, and their allies.

Neo-Con Failures
Ever since Trump was beaten into submission by the establishment, he has for some unexplained reason appointed deranged neo-con advisers and other personalities to his cabinet and various posts.
Two of the worst examples of neo-con depravity are Mike Pompeo, the current US Secretary of State and CIA-trained professional liar, and John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser who seems to have undiagnosed and untreated mental problems.
The main problem with the deranged neo-con movement is that it is oblivious to reality and facts. The neo-cons refuse to accept reality, if it does not fit their ideological upside-down worldview. So they try to use brute force and the greasiest of methods to undermine and destroy it, whether it be military aggression, false accusations, provocations, sanctions.
But the neo-cons do not realize that there are things that cannot be fought because they are beyond their power to change, no matter how overinflated the neo-cons egos otherwise dictate.
That’s why the neo-con movement is destined to failure. It can only appeal to the ignorant and mentally unstable.
The neo-cons dreams of world domination that were supposed to follow after their ‘success’ in Iraq have not come to pass, and they never will.
The neo-cons ignore the fact that US power is on the wane. New international partnerships are forming which do not rely on US patronage, which is an outdated concept of the post-WW2 period.
All that the neo-cons have done so far, is alienate more countries from the US, and weaken the US in the long-term. Their incorrect, reality-defying beliefs can do nothing else. This has already occurred before with the invasion of Iraq, which was based on false pretenses.
The neo-cons incorrectly believe that the US has more power than it does. But US power has it limits, and those limits have been reached. There is no one else for the neo-cons to fight that will not lead to the destruction of the US in some way.
Since these two neo-con clowns got control of the Trump regime, they have only managed to ruin and spoil relations with everyone around, friend and foe. For enemies, they have sanctions. For their vassals, they have tariffs.
They tear up treaties and blame others for it, without evidence or any kind of explanation.
After the Russian collusion accusations proved to be untrue, Mr. Pompeo has doubled-down on accusing Russia of interfering in US elections.
One constant is that the neo-cons have caused problems for the US. They work on delusion and assumptions. But this is not the 1990s. The world has changed. New powerful players and partnerships are coming into existence that the US cannot control. They will grow, and undercut the US, as they have already done.
The US needs to adjust to this new reality, but to do so it will need a new way of looking at things. Whether this is possible, only time will tell.
But the fact is that the uni-polar world where the US reigns supreme is over.
In the next 5-10 years, the US will see a negative change in its power and posture. Its influence and strength will wane as the insurmountable debt and the inability to compete with others take their toll on the society.
It will either have to adjust, or will end up destroying itself.
No amount of sanctions, tariffs, theft, lies, false accusations, scapegoating or military threats are going to work.
The neo-cons have exhausted their box of tools. The longer Trump keeps them around, the more problems they will cause.

RussiaGate Blues
So Russiagate has come to an anti-climactic end.
After almost two years of false accusations, anti-Russian propaganda, endless amounts of ‘expert analysis’ from pro-Hillary hot-heads, not to mention ruined relations, broken treaties, and a more dangerous world, Mr. Mueller took the wind out of their sails by announcing in his last and official report that there was no collusion between Trump and the Russian government, and that Russia did not influence the outcome of the election.
However, the hopeless Russophobes still announced with joy that because of current problems between Russia and the US, that relations will not improve.
But wasn't this crisis in relations caused by false accusations of Russian meddling, which have now been disproved?
And that's what this fake drama was all about, folks, ruining relations with, and confronting Russia. The whole 'Russian collusion' BS was just a catalyst concocted to separate the two countries diplomatically and in every other way possible. And once the job was irreversibly done, Mr. Mueller just called the whole charade off. That's all that this was, theater; a $30 million tax-payer-funded theater.
The current confrontation with Russia was pre-ordained before Trump even got elected. Russia had to be punished for its successes and accomplishments in Syria and elsewhere. The establishment had a plan, all decided upon and ready to go once Hillary Clinton won the presidency. Then it was just a matter of her taking it off the shelf and going through it, page by page.
Trump’s election threw those plans into question, at least for a little while.
The establishment needed time to brow-beat Trump into submission, remove any half-way sane member of his cabinet, and replace key officials with disgusting, unrepentant neo-con lunatics like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.
The invention of the Russian collusion nonsense served that purpose. Now that the establishment’s plans for the presidency are back on track, they can do away with the silly Russian collusion farce. The idiots in the media, think tanks, and out in public have served their purpose, and are no longer needed-until the next lie, of course.
If you want proof that this was so, just wait a few weeks/months to see if the US regime will lift any of those sanctions that were slapped on Russia for 'colluding with Trump.’
But don’t hold your breath for that to happen, because you will choke while waiting.

Inhuman Aid
This US aid spectacle was not meant to help. It was meant to provoke tensions and unrest that can serve as an excuse for further US meddling and interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.
How utterly despicable that the US is now using the ruse of providing humanitarian aid to cause violence and promote illegal regime change.
Direct military invasion did not work out for the US regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Using proxy militant low-lifes backfired in Libya, and failed spectacularly in Syria. Sanctions aren't working. So now the US seeks to mask its depraved acts of aggression against other nations in the garb of 'humanitarian aid.'
This is just adding insult to a great injury. Shameful actions such as this prove beyond a doubt that the US is ruled by sewer rats.
Mike Pompeo has announced, in true mafia-style, that Maduro's 'days are numbered.'
To drive the depravity even further, the disgusting little man Marco Rubio dared to tweet a picture of a bloody and dead ex-Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi as a 'warning' to Maduro.
This is the behavior of a violent and dangerous criminal enterprise. It is clearly communicating a threat, and needs to be condemned and confronted by Venezuela and anyone who still cares about law and order in the world.
What if Russia sent out a tweet like this to Porky in Ukraine, or Iran did the same to Nitwityahoo in Zionistan? Russia and Iran would be lambasted for breaking international law by threatening death on a head-of- state. Sanctions and other punishments would surely follow, and the entire planet would be remined of how dangerous Russia and Iran are to the security and stability of the globe.
Yet, no one in Europe seems to bat an eye-lash when the US openly threatens another foreign leader with torture and death.
This is beyond immoral.
If the UN charter is important, then countries not only have the duty to uphold it, but they also have the duty to ensure that other nations uphold it as well. Russia and others must ensure that the US does not get away with violating it again. It will reflect very poorly on Russia, China, and other countries if they do nothing to stop US machinations in Venezuela.
And we have a Venezuelan citizen openly provoking violence and chaos on orders of the US government. He fled to Colombia to organize an illegal border crossing, and has finally been charged with crimes by the Venezuelan government.
Guiado must be immediately stripped of his position and declared an outlaw, because that is what he is. He is calling for actions that could lead to thousands of casualties.
He must not be allowed back into Venezuela for anything, and his assets seized.
He must be made to understand that he is just an expandable, cheap US-trained monkey, and not a president of anything.
He can stay in Colombia indefinitely, or go to Miami and live with the rest of the US-trained S. American war criminals.
His career was short, and is for all practical purposes over. The US regime can call their stooge Guiado anything it wants.
To Venezuelans, he is a traitor.

Conference of Terror
Like a low-budget B-movie with a sub-par supporting cast, the recent US-organized anti-Iranian circle-jerk in Warsaw, Poland, and deceptively titled “Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East” has turned into a flop.
Not only was the event ignored by key European countries, but even the feckless EU did not bother to send its Foreign Minister.
The only state that would host it was Poland, a faithful US lap-dog with an overblown sense of its own importance. Poland has shamed itself by hosting this event.
By doing so, the pathetic pseudo-populist regime that rules Poland has contributed to the further instability and unrest in the world. This certainly isn’t the first time Poland has done so, to its own future detriment.
This wasn’t a meeting where genuine and serious discussions took place regarding security, peace, and true causes of terrorism.
This was a meeting of the three chief international terrorists about how to further terrorize the world. We have the three-headed hydra of unrepentant evil: US imperialism, Zionism, and Saudi Wahhabist fundamentalism; all under one roof. If someone went by that building and sprinkled holy water on it, it would turn to steam.
The irony is that such US-organized side-shows only promote, not prevent terrorism.
The zionist bulldog Nitwityahoo also could not help himself, and in an earlier tweet billed this useless conference as an opportunity to discuss “common interests of war with Iran.” So much for peace.
He also could not resist using this fetid forum to once again accuse Poland of taking part in the so-called ‘holocaust,’ and also taunted his Polish hosts about how no one can sue him for saying so. But in a sign of ever-present karma, Nitwityahoo’s plane was ‘accidentally’ damaged at the Warsaw airport, delaying his departure for zionistan.
Those who succumbed to this satanic get-together have put themselves, and their countries, on the wrong side of reality and history. They have also endangered their security. They will also pay for this error if, and when the US tries to drag them into something that will end up backfiring spectacularly.
This was an openly-biased conference opposed to everything and everyone that the US and zionistan don’t like for their own self-serving reasons. It was a forum to bully, threaten, malign and marginalize countries for daring to be independent. It was also an attempt by the US and zionistan to impose their enemies on other nations.
This conference was held in a marginally-important European state, without attracting many other countries including supposed major US allies like Germany, UK and France. This says a lot about the diminished status of the US in world affairs.
This event also highlighted the height of absurdity that this anti-Iranian psychosis has reached within the deranged minds of the Trump, and zionist regime officials.
It was a spectacular waste of time, money, and effort. And for what? To satisfy an anti-Iranian fetish of dangerous, psychologically disturbed demagogues who should not even be allowed to govern an outhouse, let alone countries.
Unnecessary, useless, and regressive. That’s how this so-called “Peace in the Mideast” conference can be described.
In a month, no one will even remember this counterproductive non-event.

Ancient Recipe for Regime Change
The US is known for causing violent and disastrous regime changes throughout history. It has done so in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and in African, Asian, and Latin American countries.
There is really no place on earth where the US has not tried to meddle and cause trouble.
But these are recent regime changes, and they all stem from the first regime change that started them all: the American Revolution of 1776.
And if we compare it to US-orchestrated regime changes that came later, the methods bear an uncanny resemblance to the mother of all regime changes of 1776.
In each case, a group of local provocateurs and elites driven by their own self-interests, and supported and directed by the US or some US government-linked NGO, start causing acts of unrest against current rulers.
It makes no difference whether the current rulers were democratically elected or not.
The regime-changers fund various choreographed propaganda stunts (Boston Tea Party, burning of tax stamps) and spread all sorts of lies and disinformation denouncing the current rulers, and calling for some sort of change.
They appoint themselves as leaders, and pass all sorts of acts and declarations.
They try to get as many unwitting fools as possible on their side by promising them all sorts of benefits, like freedom, land, etc. if they join the cause.
Once enough of the 'revolutionaries' have been corralled, they are given weapons and told to storm the barricades and die for the ‘cause of freedom.’
But the elites and their foreign handlers stay in the background while the rabble bleed for their ‘revolution.’
Once the regime change succeeds, the elites come forward and take over. They quickly lock up whoever is left of the old regime, or exile them. They promptly pass laws, regulations, and 'new constitutions' to make sure that no opposition exists to challenge them.
The battered rabble disbands, and is left to fend for itself. Taxes are raised, un-payable loans from foreign banks received, and the resources of the country are plundered and sold for cheap to foreign investors at the direction of the foreign backers.
The current US attempts to overthrow the legally-elected government of Venezuela bear a scary resemblance to the first US regime change of 1776.
In both cases, we have an elite that has self-appointed itself in charge, without any elections or popular consensus whatsoever.
In both cases, the so-called revolutionaries had scant support, and relied on most people to just ambivalently roll-over for them, and buy their propaganda and disinformation.
We have these self-appointed elites forming their own parallel governing bodies, in opposition to the current government. In 1776 there was the Continental Congress, and today in Venezuela we have the National Assembly.
In both cases, both regime change movements tried to recruit volunteers to fight the current rulers. In 1776 there was the continental army, and in Venezuela there are army dissidents and other paid mercenaries.
In both cases, foreign military assistance is/was given. In 1776, the revolutionaries were aided by France, Prussia and other European powers. In Venezuela today, the regime changers are aided by the US, EU, and some L. American countries.
And just like with the original US regime change of 1776, the results have been the same elsewhere.
Repression and killing of dissidents, the marginalization of the poorer sections of society, the exploitation of the nations’ resources by the elites for profit, or never-ending mass violence and chaos.
The fact is that these US-sponsored regime changes and coups have resulted in misery and loss of many lives for all countries where they were attempted. They became worse off, and have all lost a large piece of their freedom and sovereignty.
They have been forced to give up their wealth to foreign interests, and have been dragged into hapless, unnecessary and expensive economic and military alliances for no good reason-if not into some internal, eternally brewing civil war or insurgency (Ukraine, Libya, former Yugoslavia), or some brutal foreign military occupation (Iraq).
But how could the results of these fake US-led coups and regime changes not be disastrous? After all, look at the vile, malevolent, corrupt and failing US monstrosity that was created by the first regime change in 1776 that spawned all the others.
After all, nothing good can be built on rotten foundations.
There is really no place on earth where the US has not tried to meddle and cause trouble.

In both cases, both regime change movements tried to recruit volunteers to fight the current rulers. In 1776 there was the continental army, and in Venezuela there are army dissidents and other paid mercenaries.
In both cases, foreign military assistance is/was given. In 1776, the revolutionaries were aided by France, Prussia and other European powers. In Venezuela today, the regime changers are aided by the US, EU, and some L. American countries.
And just like with the original US regime change of 1776, the results have been the same elsewhere.
Repression and killing of dissidents, the marginalization of the poorer sections of society, the exploitation of the nations’ resources by the elites for profit, or never-ending mass violence and chaos.
The fact is that these US-sponsored regime changes and coups have resulted in misery and loss of many lives for all countries where they were attempted. They became worse off, and have all lost a large piece of their freedom and sovereignty.
They have been forced to give up their wealth to foreign interests, and have been dragged into hapless, unnecessary and expensive economic and military alliances for no good reason-if not into some internal, eternally brewing civil war or insurgency (Ukraine, Libya, former Yugoslavia), or some brutal foreign military occupation (Iraq).
But how could the results of these fake US-led coups and regime changes not be disastrous? After all, look at the vile, malevolent, corrupt and failing US monstrosity that was created by the first regime change in 1776 that spawned all the others.
After all, nothing good can be built on rotten foundations.

Illegal Fetish
Old habits die hard, and it looks like the age-old US fetish of regime change is just one habit that the US just cannot seem to kick.
At this point, it’s more an addiction than habit.
The latest victim of this US addiction is Venezuela.
After years of resisting US imperial diktat, the US regime has gone so far as to recognize their own personally-trained monkey, Juan Guiado, as the president of Venezuela.
This obscure politician was virtually unknown until the US regime proclaimed him as their ‘recognized’ president of Venezuela; no elections necessary, of course. Just like Ukraine!
The US has accused Nicolas Maduro of usurping power, rigging elections, obstructing democracy, governing like a tyrant, and impoverishing the country.
But of course, as with other leaders that the US overthrew or tried to overthrow, it has nothing to do with democracy or freedom.
The US does not like Maduro because he insists on Venezuelan sovereignty, and wants to put Venezuela first. Surely Mr. Trump should understand this simple concept. After all, wasn’t he for ‘America first’ during the last presidential election?
Maduro refused to hand over Venezuela’s natural wealth to US corporations, especially its oil. He refuses to sell out and be corrupted by US bribes like the pathetic, feckless leaders of certain countries bordering Venezuela.
The US has decided, along with the EU, to interfere in Venezuelan affairs and stage a coup. It has tried to use pro-western elites in Venezuela to deliberately undermine the economic stability of the country by refusing credit, enacting sanctions, buying off politicians, and directly appealing to the Venezuelan military to betray their elected president and overthrow him. The US hand-picked an unknown and unpopular Obama look-alike puppet and told him to declare himself president.
All these moves are blatantly illegal and 100% wrong. It is a despicable way to act, and nothing good will become of it. All countries who go along with this internationally illegal US side-show have embarrassed themselves, and are on the wrong side.
The US and EU claim that they want to ‘restore democracy’ to Venezuela. But how does this square with overthrowing an elected leader and replacing him with a self-appointed pro-US stooge?
What is democratic about this?
If the Venezuelan opposition wants to govern, then why did it boycott the last elections? Why did it at the last moment reject a mediated e agreement in 2017 that would have ended the political problems in Venezuela?
The US, their vassals, and hand-picked clowns in Venezuela have not even one microscopic speck of concern for real democracy, human rights, or free elections. Any words or allusions to these ideals by the US regime and their cohorts are just fake window dressing.
What the US wants is to put a compliant clique of pro-US puppets in power in Caracas, have them chase out China and Russia, and other countries which investments in Venezuela that the US doesn't like - especially in the oil sector - and replace them with US corporations, which will bilk the country while giving nothing in return.
The corrupt, wealthy pro-western Venezuelan clique will gorge themselves on bribes and financial spoils, while the rest of Venezuela goes to hell. This is how it was before Chavez.
And it is a myth that the socialist system in Venezuela has not worked and has failed. For over a decade, Hugo Chavez governed Venezuela and the country saw dramatic improvements in quality of life. Even western financial institutions had to admit this.
So, no. Socialism and the Bolivarian revolution have not failed. Venezuela has been put under siege by the US for not conforming to what the western corporate cartels want. That is all.
Maduro nationalized oil production. He turned away from the dollar and by-passed it, to the ire of the western financial thugs.
Maduro has gotten close to Russia and China, and welcomed their investments and other assistance.
These are Maduro’s ‘sins’ as seen by the US regime.
The US does not want free elections in Venezuela because then they won’t get what they want. They want to get rid of Maduro, appoint a pro-US puppet, lock up and illegalize any party or individual that represents any opposition to US interests, and rig the country’s political and electoral system so that no one who is critical of the US gets elected ever again.
This was done in Brazil, Argentina, and Ukraine.
In Brazil, an extra-legal process resulted in the impeachment of Dilma Roussef by seriously corrupt pro-US elements in the country’s parliament and judiciary. This was done with the direction of the US.
Even when she was cleared of wrong-doing, she was still impeached. How is this not a power-grab?
And her mentor and former President of Brazil, Lual Da Silva, was locked up on spurious corruption charges. Any attempts to free him and allow him to run for office have been denied. He is, for all practical purposes, a political prisoner.
In Argentina, pro-US puppet Macri was elected president when everyone was sure he would lose and polled almost 10% lower than his opponent. Some type of election fraud took place there.
No matter how much the US regime and their cohorts squirm and whine, Maduro was elected president by a popular mandate. The Constitutional Assembly was created according to the Venezuelan constitution, and is therefore legal.
US, EU and anyone else has no right to interfere in Venezuelan affairs, and by doing so, they are violating the UN charter.
The US and EU are disgracing themselves. The arrogant and petulant behavior toward Maduro exposes the west’s chronic lack of democracy.
Why does no one dare to un-recognize man-boy Macron? After all, after months of yellow vest protests he has done nothing to address the French peoples’ concerns.
But of course Macron follows the EU bureaucrats and private banker cartel orders, so he gets to stay.
And what about Saudi Arabia? The Khashoggi affair has been forgotten. No sanctions, no punishment, no nothing. It’s business as usual.
But of course, Saudi Arabia buys US weapons and stuffs billions of dollars in Wall St., and US oil company pockets. So it is left alone.
But this latest act of US political terrorism against Venezuela is another sign of desperation by the US. It is losing, and can’t do anything to fix its own problems, so it tries to leech off as many countries as it can to sustain its unrealistic and artificially-high living standards.
Trump has been so brow-beaten by the establishment that he has given up on his campaign promises to not interfere in other countries, and has surrounded himself with the greasiest neo-con filth there is.
Ironically, these are the same deviants who were against him being elected, and also made the Iraqi mess possible; the same Iraqi mess Donald Trump the private citizen once tweeted was a terrible idea. Now, the same people responsible for those bad ideas are feeding him more bad ideas.
It is clear that Trump has failed, and is a loser.
Venezuela deserves, and needs help from whatever countries have the power to stop an illegal US-led regime change. This is the time for Russia and China to do something major, and counter the US.
By doing so, China and Russia could save many lives, and perhaps prevent an insurgency that will brew for the next 50 years or more.
Regardless of what current crop of neo-con crazies rule the US, none of their regime change projects are going to yield them any desired results anymore. Either they will be defeated, or their plans spoiled.
A civil war, or some type of an incessant insurgency will be the result of any US military aggression in Venezuelan affairs. The supporters of Maduro are many, and cannot be ignored.
If Trump wants to pursue this, he will be responsible for all the violence and death, and we will very likely see a Venezuelan FARC 2.0 come into existence that will not give the US and their trained monkeys any reprieve. There is no victory for the US in this. None. Look at Syria, Ukraine, Libya. Either they failed, or went sour.
At this point, it’s more an addiction than habit.
