A Peace that Won't Be

The thaw between South and North Korea and a possible, planned meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un has been big news lately. 

South Korea's President Moon and Kim have met, and promises were made to improve relations, and end North Korea's nuclear testing.

To the starry-eyed, it looks like the two Koreas, along with the US, will finally make peace and stop threatening each other.

But let's not forget that the South Korean regime, regardless of its smiles, is descended from the right-wing dictatorship of Syngman Rhee, the ex-Japanese collaborator-turned-puppet of the US military occupation forces. People with the same mentality are still in power in South Korea, and it is doubtful that they will allow any improvement in relations. Like their US counterparts, these right-wing South Korean Rhee acolytes have made their fortunes and careers on having North Korea as an enemy.

It’s difficult to believe that there will be any reconciliation/peace/unity breaking out. These things go against US interests of countering China. The US wants a permanent military presence in Korea to serve as a base of operations against whoever the US deems an enemy for whatever reason.

Trump's eagerness for peace is not serious, regardless of how many Tweets to the contrary he sends. Let's not forget that this is the same guy who a month ago bombed a country based on false pretexts, and has recently appointed John Bolton and Mike Pompeo to important posts. These two misfits were behind the illegal and criminal war on Iraq and the torture scandals. There is nothing good to expect from the Trump regime at all.

History by now has shown us that once the US occupies an area, they don’t leave. It’s been 73 years since WW2 ended, yet the US military is still occupying Germany. This occupation has now spread to Eastern Europe under the guise of ‘countering Russian aggression.’ It’s been 15 years since the Iraq invasion, yet US is still there, with no signs it will ever leave.

The US has gotten too entrenched in South Korea to just get up and leave, regardless of what NK will do. It serves US interests to be there, and the interests of the military-industrial complex, not to mention the career prospects of all the US generals, officers, and CIA spooks. Too many careers and paychecks are riding on the US remaining on the Korean peninsula, and everywhere else they’re squatting.

Even if Kim Jong Un ends up meeting Trump, it will go down something like this, or close to it:

1. Kim and Trump sit down to talk

2. Trump makes outrageous demands that he knows NK won’t accept, while he offers nothing worthwhile in return

3. Kim says NO. Then he counters that US must sign a permanent peace treaty and end all acts of aggression, end to sanctions, including military exercises close to NK’s borders and/or removal of US troops from SK in return for complete NK nuclear and missile disarmament

4. SK president sits there like a quiet little vassal with no say-so, and acquiesces to whatever the US says

5. The entire meeting turns into a fiasco, everyone walks out, and tensions not only stay but go up

6. US regime and all western media go into ‘Blame it all on Kim’ overdrive for the failure of the meeting

7. Kim restarts nuke and missile testing and Trump threatens military action

This is what we can expect. And the blame for any failures will rest on the US, which will refuse to give up an inch, but will demand a mile from NK.

The US establishment doesn’t want peace on the Korean peninsula. They most likely want a Libya-type scenario.

The meeting will be used to cajole NK into giving up its main deterrent, disarming, letting in ‘inspectors’ who will most likely feature spies from every god-damn US intelligence agency in existence. These people will look under every rock, identify any and all important targets for bombing, report back to their US regime bosses, who will then make up some false flag implicating NK, then attack NK-which at that point will be defenseless.

What the US ultimately wants is to get rid of Kim Jong Un, annex NK by force to SK, then move up US troops all the way to the Chinese border.

The US doesn’t honor its treaty commitment. The examples of Iraq, Libya, and Trump’s present threat to walk away from the JCPOA are clear signs that North Korea cannot trust the US.

Kim Jong Un seems to be quite involved in a peaceful solution, and has stopped issuing insults toward the Dotard.

But it is most likely not because sanctions and US threats have worked.

What may be going on here is that China’s Premier Xi had a talk with Kim, and NK was promised very beneficial economic opportunities and OBOR/Silk Road integration in return for doing something to shut the US up, so that sanctions are lifted and the two can get back to business. 

The US regime, Trump, and his deranged walrus mustache advisor won't get anything for free from North Korea. The problem on the Korean peninsula was, is, and will be the US, not NK or Kim. The US doesn’t honor its agreements, so that's one thing that will definitely be a stumbling block.

Even IF the US agrees to make some major concessions that NK could accept, it will most likely be a ruse. What the US may do is make promises to NK, but require that NK first disarm and do whatever the US wants, and only after that the US will deliver on its part. This may take years. But a short while from the deadline, the US will stir up some false flags, and claim that NK is not living up to the agreement-even if NK does-and use that as an excuse to walk away from the agreement, and take military action against NK. 

This type of scenario is very likely, and if there actually is an agreement with NK like this, and the US demands that the UN approve it under Chapter 7 of the UN charter, then the regime change scenario will be guaranteed. 

A prophetic warning of this very possibility has already come from none other than John Bolton, Trump's rabid neo-con national security advisor. He has already stated that a disarmament agreement with North Korea could be based on the disarmament agreement with Libya. And we all know what happened to Libya and its leader Muammar Ghaddafi after he 'disarmed.'

The US establishment is intellectually and morally incapable of making a genuine peace with North Korea without any evil ulterior motives.

The stench of future US betrayal of NK will be thick in the air at whatever venue these two will meet.

A Dotard and His Bombs

The end-result of all the Skripal and Syrian chemical attack fakery has led the US and its feckless vassals to bomb Syria, without any shred of credible evidence to justify their criminal and illegal action.

All the US had was ‘open social media’ information; as if that can’t be faked!

Notice that this attack came right before the OPCW was to arrive in Douma to investigate the scene of the alleged chemical weapons attack. This alone looks strange.

What does the US have to hide? After all, if the US and its vassals were so sure that Syria did launch a chemical attack, they would’ve sat and waited for the guilty verdict before they did anything.

That the US rushed to act before the verdict was in shows us that they were worried about the facts getting out, and those facts would’ve contradicted all US accusations. After all, didn’t ‘Mad Dog’ say some months ago that US could not verify if Syria actually gassed anybody? So there you have it-US likes to shoot first, and ask questions later.

This seems to be a prevailing problem in the US today-verdict before proof. The US rush to punish Syria, or some other country for committing a crime they did not commit is just an extension of the same problem faced by people in the US who find themselves at the mercy of ‘US justice,’ from small county courts all the way to the white house.

There is no shortage of stories of people in the US being sentenced to years, or decades in jail only to be proven innocent after the fact.

In desperation, poor people that cannot afford a good lawyer are forced to admit to crimes they didn’t commit just to escape a longer sentence.

This same verdict before guilt, and forced confession culture extends all the way to relations with other countries.

Russia and Syria are the latest victims of this. But before them there was Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya; countries that were bombed or destroyed by the US and their criminal henchmen on the basis of false flags, false accusations and lies.

But no one should have any illusion about the success of this airstrike, or lack thereof.

Over 70 of the 103 missiles launched at Syria by the US, UK, and France, the three most powerful members of NATO, did not reach their targets. They were either shot down by Syrian air defenses using 30+ year-old Soviet-made S-200 anti-missile systems, or electronically jammed by Russia. This will not go unnoticed by the pentagoons.

It seems western technology is not that effective. Trump’s shiny, new, smart missiles were fried before impact.

Also, not all NATO members participated in the attack.

This attack was a strategic failure, and no one will ever know exactly why it was carried out. Was it to save Trump’s, May’s, and man-boy Macron’s political fortunes in the face of domestic troubles? Was it an angry reaction to Syrian and Russian successes? Was it an attempt to destroy Trump by making him do something misguided against Syria and Russia, or an attempt to goad Russia to do something to destroy Trump? Was it simply an expensive fireworks show to satisfy western defense contractor and Wall St. profit margins? Was it to hide other domestic US crimes and corruption? These are all possibilities.

This attack merely aggravated the Syrians, but it was no decisive blow to anyone but maybe Trump’s future.

This attack will only solidify and enhance Syrian-Russian cooperation and success. Add that the US avoided targeting any place where Russians were stationed, alone shows that the US is afraid of Russia’s reaction. The US didn’t even dare lob one solitary missile at any peripheral Russian targets as a cheapshot, like it did at the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the terror bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, shows that the US is scared.

The people who will pay the price will be the fools who ordered this atrocity, not Putin, not Assad, not anyone in Iran. Trump and his useless cohorts may get a bump at the polls for a minute, but that will dissipate. He has betrayed many of his supporters who voted for him mainly because he did not want to intervene in other nations’ affairs.

Trump has committed an act of cowardice. He has become a war-monger just like Bush, and will be disgraced just like Bush was.

Russia is playing the long-game in Syria, and as long as it is there, US has no good chance of succeeding. One interesting thing about this attack that no one yet has brought up is the absence of any sudden rebel offensive. Could it be that Trump has tired of supporting jihadists? Yes, he’s using their bullshit lies as a pretext for aggression to make himself feel better, but he’s not helping them in any way. That alone says volumes.

This whole fake Skripal poisoning and Syrian chemical attack allegations, and now this useless bombing were all manufactured to pressure Russia and Syria into making political and strategic concessions. But Russia won’t negotiate under pressure.

But nevertheless, the ball is now in Russia’s court. There must be a reaction to this, and a very significant one.

Russia needs to supply Syria and Iran with better air defense systems and other equipment, and training that will increase the effectiveness of their forces ability to knock out enemy aircraft to the point where most, or no enemy attacks are successful.

Better yet move would be if Russia, China, Iran and Syria organize a defense pact, and Syria and Iran go under the Russian nuclear umbrella. This would end once and for all any further US adventurism.

But something must be done, or else the fake atrocity propagandists will be back for more, the next time Syria wins a victory. 

What Russia and Syria did to the western-sponsored Wahhabi freaks in the last two years makes any US airstrikes look like pebble-throwing; a poor substitute. This will not change.

But let's conclude this essay with Trump's words from 5 years ago. He was so right then, but so wrong now.

 

Step Right Up!

Step right up, folks! And gaze upon the marvel of marvels!

The UK has created its own one-size-fits all super-poison that doesn't exist; a poison that lies in-waiting for days or weeks, affects only those it's supposed to target while leaving everyone else who comes in contact with it unharmed in any way. And even though it is super-deadly, it spares its victims lives, if required. Amazing poison! A true miracle of British chemical engineering! The world's first politically-motivated poison.

It can even be telepathically controlled to behave in any way one wants, even from across the ocean. It's so easy to do, even cretins like Theresa May and Boris Johnson can do so, on a whim and on command, from any location, at any time of day! Astounding!

So step right up, and get in on this mysterious, non-existent super-poison that is sure to scare your enemies, and your friends.

Desperate Con-Jobs

The Skripal drama has reached a fever pitch. Russia has been deemed responsible for the poisoning of the ex-spy, even without evidence to prove it.

A gang of European countries has decided to expel Russian diplomats, and the US, not to be outdone in petty stupidity, has decided to expel 60 Russian diplomats.

The US and EU state that they are showing ‘solidarity with the UK.’ But is ‘solidarity’ more important than facts and evidence? Listening to, and looking at the creepy behavior of the US and its vassals, obviously not.

But if one stands back and watches all this from a distance, what does one see?

First of all, look at who is accusing Russia of all this nonsense. It’s always the US or the UK, first and foremost, with some other US/NATO/EU vassal states blindly backing them up. Why isn’t India, Pakistan, Japan, China or some Asian or African country accusing Russia of ‘poisoning’ people or meddling in their elections? Why doesn’t Russia bother poisoning anyone there, or tries to interfere in their elections? After all, there are a lot of countries out there, and most of them don’t have problems with Russia. Why is that?

Another phenomenon that is clear to those who have been paying attention for the last 5 years is that every time European countries start to get anti-Russian sanctions fatigue, and start approaching Russia once again in the hopes of mending relations, out of the blue some unpleasant incident happens that is then immediately blamed on Russia. And right on que, all attempts at rapprochement between Russia and EU come to a halt, and sanctions against Russia along with other buffoonery follows. Tensions are ratcheted up, divisions re-established, and all countries are scared back into line by the US into fearing and hating Russia. This happens every time.

It’s always the same stale group of Euro-Atlanticists that cries wolf against Russia. They either create things out of thin air, or take some routine non-event and twist it around to be the end of the world.

If Russia really was so evil, then the list of nations trying to sanction Russia and expel Russian diplomats would be much larger. But it’s not.

So there is no ‘international solidarity’ here against Russia as claimed by the accusers.

What there is, is a miserable gang of liars and con-men, ready to manufacture fake incidents in order to scapegoat Russia, in order to cover up their own scandals, failures and incompetence.

Take the ringleader of this Skripal farce, the UK. How has the country been faring lately?

First, it is the midst of a complicated and bitter Brexit process, which isn’t going that smoothly. The Skripal case is just a very temporary reprieve; a desperate attempt by the British ruling establishment to fill the very deep cracks in relations between itself and the EU with a whole lot of bullshit. But this is all for naught; for the mutual acrimony and chaos surrounding the Brexit process shall continue.

Second, it is a country that has been mired in migrant and terrorist mayhem, and various sexual and pedophile scandals which reach all the way to Whitehall.

Third, the British military is in dismal shape due to cuts and other austerity measures.

Fourth, the Conservative party was poised to lose then next election, and the UK would most likely see Jeremy Corbyn as the next PM.

So the Skripal poisoning show is very convenient for the beleaguered British ruling and military establishments. It is the proverbial manna from heaven for these sick creatures.

It not only gets them off the hook for their aberrant behavior and incompetence, but it also very conveniently serves as an excuse to up the military budget at the price of most likely healthcare and the social safety net; all in the name of ‘security.’ Just watch. It will happen.

It also shores up support for the Tory twits, who as an added bonus have been using the Skripal incident to bash and condemn Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn for being a ‘Russian stooge’ just because he insists on evidence and a thorough investigation. And all this smearing of the top Labor party official just before the May elections! How motherfucking convenient, huh?

Anyone with any knowledge of the world and some sense in their heads can plainly see that this entire Skripal incident was the work of either British intelligence, or even possibly the CIA, to smear Russia and alienate it from the international community. This was a desperate act done to politically, diplomatically, and economically pressure Russia into relenting to US/EU/NATO demands.

These countries all know that this Skripal poisoning is just a bunch of bullshit, cooked up against Russia for political reasons. But most keep quiet either out of fear, or because the con benefits them in some way.

But all these con-jobs will undoubtedly have the opposite effect, as they have up to this point. And as far as evidence implicating Russia, there wasn’t, isn’t, and never will be any. All that there will ever be is a lot of noise and false accusations that will remain unproven, as with all the other anti-Russia spectacles going back years-from Litvinenko to MH-17 to Russiagate to Skripal, and every other demented fantasy created by the US regimes and their lapdogs along the way.

The US regime has also jumped on the Skripal poisoning bandwagon for its own nefarious geopolitical interests, and one cannot help but feel that the US was involved in all this.

This Skripal poisoning incident for the British ruling establishment is like a bottle of liquor for a drunk who seeks to drown his worries. And like the drunk, the manufactured Skripal false flag show will soothe the UK’s domestic and international political problems, at least temporarily. But once the alcohol high is over, the same old problems will still be there, along with new ones. And then what?

But for the sake of argument, let’s forget any type of evidence. Let's just use plain old logic.

If someone harms you in any way, and you have clear and undeniable proof of who, what, when, where, as a genuine victim you will be 100% willing and eager to share this proof with the world. You will be 100% honest, 100% cooperative, and in no way seek to lie, evade, obfuscate, withhold evidence, or refuse to answer any questions. This is how honest people who have been truly wronged by someone behave in order to attain justice.

But as we can see from British behavior, the reverse is true. Therefore, plain old logic shows us that the British are lying, and hiding something.

Congratulations, Mr. Putin!

The Russian Presidential election of 2017 is over, and Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin has won a second 6-year term with over 70% of the vote.

Putin is the right person to lead Russia at this time. Russia has been devastated by western reforms, false promises, and has been betrayed and lied to on numerous occasions. Russia needs stability and strength, which goes hand-in-hand with real democracy.

Fortunately, Russia is well on its way.

What is not needed in Russia is western meddling, manipulation, and fake fast-track democratization according to what is best for western interests. Russia doesn't need foreign spies and naive, bought-off army of brainwashed clowns on the ground agitating and organizing themselves to spread 'democracy,' when all they are doing is promoting western political, economic, and strategic interests, and injecting an artificial, western-centric dogma which benefits other countries instead of Russia.

What Russia also doesn’t need is constant haranguing by the US and the EU, whether it is false accusations of interfering in elections, poisoning of some ex-spy, or being the scapegoat for every western failure and fuck-up, without any evidence.

True democracy takes time, and develops internally. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as it is a democracy that puts Russia’s best interests first and foremost. Democracy in Russia must serve Russians first. Anything other than this kind of democracy would be a farce. 

In the coming days, we shall undoubtedly hear from the western regimes and media how the Russian election was rigged, fraud-ridden, pre-determined in favor of Putin, unfair, and illegitimate.

But all this whining is just the western establishment's sour grapes driven by resentment and jealousy over Putin's genuine popularity and ability to get things done. 

The western governing establishment leaders may not believe that Putin could've secure such a high amount of votes because they themselves could only dream of this much support. But if the western establishment's leaders did right by the people they govern, perhaps they too could get 75% of the vote. Maybe they should ask Putin about how he manages to stay this genuinely popular.

Congratulations to V.V. Putin-the only adult in the room full of presidents. May his next 6 years be productive and see more successes. May Russia grow modern, more powerful, and lead with patience and intelligence, stay the course, and keep the Washington unilateralists and regime-changers at bay.

False Flag Schenanigans

Once again, the world is being subject to another bout of anti-Russian conspiracy theories and false flags.

The recent poisoning of an ex-Russian/British double agent, Sergei Skripal with a nerve agent, has immediately been pinned of Russia, again with no evidence.

After the last three anti-Russian conspiracy fests have gone nowhere, now we have this latest absurdity.

In 2014, the west accused Russia of being complicit in the shoot-down of flight MH-17 over E. Ukraine. Russia was said to give the rebel forces the anti-aircraft weapons that were allegedly used to shoot the plane down.

An ‘international’ investigation was done, without taking any Russian counter-arguments or contrary evidence into consideration. As to who the guilty party was, and how it all happened is to this day inconclusive. But Russia was sanctioned nevertheless.

The second bout of anti-Russia campaign of fear and smear was the so-called doping scandal. Russia was said to have a government-sponsored doping program. The chief source for the allegations was Grigory Rodchenkov, the very same person who instituted doping within Russian athletics.

But after much fuss by the IOC, WADA, and western Russophobes about a mass-scale doping program led by the Russian government in which ‘thousands’ of Russian athletes were involved, at the end only a few were declared in violation. But this did not stop Russia from being sanctioned by not being allowed to fly its flag at the recent winter Olympics, and the ban on playing its national anthem.

Last but not least we have the infamous Russiagate scandal. Russia was accused by the Clinton campaign and the Obama regime of ‘interfering’ in the US presidential elections of 2016, hacking voting machines, and DNC servers.

Russia was sanctioned, its diplomats expelled from the US, and relations between US and Russia have been poisoned.

Now the entire Russiagate case has turned out to be bullshit. The entire premise upon which it was based has been dismissed. Yet sanctions on Russia remain.

But before the old pile of bullshit has been given a chance to solidify, we now have the Skripal poisoning that will perpetuate the ‘evil Russia’ mythology into the future.

It seems like when one false attempt to pressure Russia and Putin fails, a new one pops up.

That Russia would poison an old ex-spy, which it has swapped for Russian spies in the west almost a decade ago, and has not targeted him at all for all that time, is preposterous. What does Russia have to gain by this?

Russia has nothing to gain, but British/US, and even Israeli intelligence does. The poison used on the ex-spy is one that the US and the British surely possess, and one which Russia has been officially deemed by the OPCW to be free of. He was poisoned only 8 miles from Porton Downs, a British chemical research and storage facility.

There is another twist to this whole story which points a very strong finger at the UK. Sergei Skripal was in cahoots with the British ex-spy, Christopher Steele, the originator of the infamous ‘Steele Dossier,’ which was the basis for the Russiagate investigation. That dossier turned out to be false, as the Nunes memo has stated.

And with the demise of the Russiagate case, those who were complicit in it are running scared. They surely need to mop up any and all loose ends. Mr. Skripal, with his connection to, and very likely also a source for Christopher Steele, was one such loose end.

If the heat gets too high, Mr. Skripal could very well talk, and expose the whole Russiagate canard, along with the perpetrators in high places. He was definitely a liability to be neutralized.

The timing of this poisoning and the death knell to Russiagate is all too close for comfort.
 
This is something to consider in this whole strange affair.

But scapegoating Russia is very convenient. It gets the attention off the true culprits, and creates great opportunities for western intelligence and military complexes to increase their power and funding under the guise of ‘fending off Russian aggression.’

It is a true testimony to the failures of the British establishment to pull off such a sloppy, disgusting, and desperate false flag, just to reverse Theresa May’s and the Tories bad fortunes in the face of Brexit and other national failures. Western politicians today know that when their domestic policy chips are down, blaming Russia is a sure way out-as long as they can withhold evidence and control the entire investigative process.

It is also a no-brainer as to why this is all being pinned on Russia.

1. Russia’s successes in Syria have been an irritant to the regime change hoodlums in the west

2. Russia’s recent announcement of new cutting-edge weapons systems which basically render all US and NATO anti-missile defenses useless

3. The ruination of the upcoming World Cup in Russia

4. West wants to make Putin look bad right before the Russian elections on March 18

I suspect that a reason for the whole Skripal poisoning may be some warped MI6 act of revenge against some recent Russian or Syrian operation in Syria that may have taken out some British/US special forces or intelligence agents. 

And was the Skripal poisoning actually real? It could've all been choreographed with crisis actors. Those two may have been just 'acting sick,' or maybe given a harmless sleeping pill, and the British establishment is passing it all off as a 'poisoning' to implicate Russia and pressure it to make concessions.

Russia is being punished for diplomatic and military successes, and for withstanding western pressure and past attempts aimed at forcing Russia to cave in geopolitically.

But as a past essay on this blog has stated: policies based on lies are fundamentally unstable and will eventually collapse.

The west, by engaging in desperate politics against Russia is only empowering Russia and its government. Russians don’t believe in all the lies and hype made up about them, and therefore will double-down and view the west with even more contempt.

And there is no victory in it for the US as long as it continues acting in such cynical ways.

US Blame Game

For the last 4 years, the US airwaves have been inundated with all sorts of ‘experts’ from one think-tank or another that comment on whatever country the US regime has chosen as its enemy. 

These ‘experts’ are feeding the public a bunch of self-serving lies, scary stories, and faulty analysis of events that fit with the US regime’s policies, and that of its defense industry donors.

But these are not think tanks. It is incorrect to call them this. They are basically PR bag-men for the defense industry lobbyists and other war-profiteers. There are no facts and reality in anything these cheap hacks say or publish. Its propaganda and turd-shining by people who know they can make a lot of money saying the right things to the right people, no matter how false. The aim is to make money from as many fools as possible.

Last decade, these people who push these confrontations and wars were self-styled ‘Iraq experts.’ After their scary stories about Iraqi WMDs turned out to be a bunch of bullshit, they became ‘Iran experts.’ Now they turned themselves into ‘Syria experts,’ and are regurgitating the same lies and absurdities.

Do these people truly believe in the garbage they say and write about Russia, Iran, and Syria? Because I doubt they do. They are opportunists who know that bashing any US ‘officially designated enemy’ is a great get-rich-and-famous-quick scheme.

I'm beginning to think that the Russia-bashers in particular are simply projecting all of their failures, incompetence, and shortcomings on Russia.

These people are unable to resolve their own problems. They don’t know how. They drift from one half-witted knee-jerk reaction to another, and end up failing. After the amount of blunders and failures becomes too high, and with no solution in sight, these people try to dump their mess onto someone else.

Some other country or people become the scapegoats for US political, economic and societal problems.

The US election system is corrupt and flawed? Russia must’ve hacked it!

US can’t compete economically? Blame China.

US interventions and wars end up causing more mayhem and terrorism? Blame Iran and Syria.

It’s always someone else.

It’s gotten to the point that the US, incapable of getting what it wants, and not being able to ‘win’ anything, has resorted to preventing anyone else from succeeding or gaining anything. This sick attitude is currently on clear display against Syria and Russia.

It is the behavior of a spoiled, arrogant, psychopathic bully that tries to bring others down when things don’t go their way.

But this attitude will only end up compounding the problems of the US. Blaming and sanctioning others for its own failures won’t solve any problems for the US. It will only make them worse.

By resorting to blaming others for its own incompetence and bad judgment, the US is appearing as a dummy and a loser who simply doesn’t have the maturity and fortitude to face its own mistakes and solve its own problems.

The US is unable to understand and accept that the days of a unipolar world where it was the top dog are over, for good.

The US has lost a good deal of its wealth and power, and other countries simply don’t need the US as much anymore, and want to go their own way and build relationships with others. They don’t need the US meddling in their affairs, and giving them orders.

The US refuses to accept this simple fact, and it lashes out; and each time suffers more setbacks.

The US has deep psychological issues that it will have to sort out by itself. It will have to go through some sort of a 12-step program for crumbling world powers.

No amount of warmongering, lies, threats and sanctions against North Korea, Russia, Iran or Syria will help the US. Projecting its own sins and failures onto others will always be a dead-end for the US.

The US must face its own demons, if it is to be a normal and civilized country again.

I think that's the real reason many don't want the military parade that Dotard Trump has been babbling about having lately. In the back of their minds, they feel shame and embarrassment. There hasn't been even one US victory for almost 20 years of warfare and trillions of dollars spent.

So what is there to celebrate? Failure?

Because the current depraved acts of the US regime in the world, especially in the Mideast are all symptoms of failure.
