The fact that Russia paid the Taliban’s monetary bonuses to kill 18 U.S. infantrymen and the “coalition” in Afghanistan is being debated for saying the least. Democrats and Republicans cite official U.S. intelligence agencies in conflict over the veracity of this more recent episode of the new Cold War. The New York Times of The Fourth of July reported: “The CIA, as well as the analysts at the National Counter-Terrorism Center, expressed a medium or moderate confidence in this conclusion. The National Security Agency, which places more emphasis on surveillance intercepts, was more skeptical, officials said.
As with the Democrats’ accusations in Russia that Vladimir Putin and his corporation manipulated the 2016 elections, without any evidence of a single ballot box or manipulation of the computer voting device in the United States, the leaders of the current Cold War Democratic Party are leading the rate. It is not easy for the United States to build its sanctions opposed to Russia’s matrix while accusing President Trump of being lenient with “tyrants” around the world.
The blustering bipartisan and 19-year-old deception of the 19-year-old American war opposed to Afghanistan, the longest American war in history, twisted reports of the “big lie” of the bellicose media lose the proverbial forest of trees, or better, to a handful of so-called twigs in the trees.
The fact about the war in Afghanistan
The fact about the war in Afghanistan is austere and horrible. After 19 years and $2 trillion in Pentagon expenditure, after deploying more than 120,000 U.S. troops at the height of the war, part of them, funded throughout the United States, Blackwater and other forces privatized mercenaries and war crimes that are not responsible for anyone, after more than 460,000 civilians killed directly and 2,400 U.S. infantrymen killed and another 20,660 wounded , others wounded. The war continues. But the U.S. government, not its puppet government imposed through warlords and corrupt corporate conspirators, is negotiating a “peace” treaty with the Islamic theocratic Taliban, occupying much of rural Afghanistan. These more recent negotiations would be delayed due to the Taliban’s inability to accept the release of some American prisoners.
The above figures, with the exception of the 360,000 indirectly killed as a result of the U.S. War, are the official figures of the U.S. Department of Defense. They forgot about the approximately 55,000 deaths among U.S.-trained and U.S.-funded Afghan army forces, as well as the dead and wounded among the U.S.-orchestrated “coalition” of a dozen committed nations on board to give an “international” appearance to the “war on terror.” We horribly charged the dead and wounded in neighboring Pakistan, where the United States bombed with impunity for much of the war. After 19 years, while the Pentagon was “experimenting” with the destruction of Taliban underground bunkers with the largest nuclear weapons of all time and with drones constantly searching for prey in remote areas, some 25,000 U.S. soldiers remain in Afghanistan, some of whom are mercenaries and “entrepreneurs” arranged through entrepreneurial American corporations in the box of death and destruction for profit.
It should be remembered that the American war opposed to Afghanistan, introduced in 2001 after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, began when the Afghan government was accused, not of playing a role in the bombing of the Trade Center, but of harboring Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda associates, who allegedly hid in caves in the Afghan mountains. During the Soviet Union’s war of intervention in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 (a fatal war violated the poor country’s right of self-determination), Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda forces and those of some of the seven factions of the veryaconcealeen jihadists were armed and funded through the United States government. Bin Laden, who later claimed duty for the 9/11 attack, was killed through the U.S. Navy SEALs. In Pakistan in 2011. But the American war continues to this day. Not for freedom and democracy, of course, but for a “geopolitical advantage,” that is, the spoils.
Since the start of the war in the United States in 2001, Afghanistan, 80% of the camp, has been the world’s largest manufacturer of illicit opium. Its poppy cultivation produces more than 90% of the world’s heroin and more than 95% of Europe’s supply. More land is used for opium in Afghanistan than for coca cultivation in Latin America. In addition, Afghanistan’s multibillion-dollar lithium reserves are the most valuable in the world, ahead of Bolivia. Since 2011, the Pentagon’s monetary arm has been in talks with various corporate entities to determine which mining contracts will be awarded. Similarly, Afghanistan’s gold, niobium, cobalt, and other minerals would possibly reshape the world’s poorest country into a foreign-controlled global mining center. As with the American war and the Iraq profession, where oil was the spoils, the Pentagon’s favorite American corporations will likely end up dividing most of it. The United States is fighting for lithium and gold and, constantly, intervenes in the lucrative drug trade, as it did in partnership in the 1980s with the Colombian cartel of Medellin … and also for freedom!
U.S. on Syria continues
Today, the war orchestrated across the United States and NATO opposed to Syria, with the jihadist army trained and armed at U.S. army bases in Turkey, continues, albeit with more limited objectives compared to the past American purpose of general and permanent conquest. Occupation. The war, which began in 2012, saw U.S.-funded armed and trained forces occupy more than two-thirds of the country at the same time. At the time, the United States bra giraly presided over meetings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere with its accumulated visitors to discuss Syria’s permanent department and its resources in the context of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s long-awaited imminent departure.
With U.S.-backed jihadist forces adding al-Qaeda and its former al-Nusra front, which were once associated, firing missiles at Damascus, the capital, few think the final results would be otherwise. As with Iraq, following the U.S. withdrawal from Saddam Hussein’s government in charge of 1.5 million Iraqi lives, Syria’s resources, if not its geographical borders, had to be divided across the imperial United States in a way not unlike that of the French. and British Middle East imposed after World War I.
The bese-happed Syria, however, has made a different decision. As a deficient and oppressed nation, it correctly exercised its right to self-determination and sought the help of its allies. These included Iran, Russia and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, which had defeated the Israeli conquest attempt years earlier. The U.S. war against Syria has claimed the lives of 60,000 Syrian infantry soldiers and some 500,000 civilians. But with the help of its allies, Syria has controlled to back down and defeat the U.S.-backed jihadist invaders and NATO, who through brute force have tried to impose their sharia law editing on a reluctant population. For two years, these jihadists were expelled from one occupied city and region after another. A primary survey of the Syrian population organized through ORB International, a Gallop-affiliated organization founded in London, reported the years when US/NATO forces and their entire “coalition of willing jihadist allies” had help of less than 9%. Syrian people. On the other hand, the Assad government, ridiculed and demonized through the US media and falsely accused of using poisonous fuel for its opponents, was helped by significant primary importance.
Today, with the exception of the northwest province of Idlib, bordering on Turkey, where the remnants of al-Qaida and its allies are protected and armed by the U.S., NATO and Turkey, all of Syria remains under the al-Assad government’s control, minus the fertile and oil-rich northeastern region bordering on Turkey where a contingent of some 2,000 U.S. troops remain to protect U.S. “interests.” “We’re keeping the oil,” proclaimed the moron imperial President Trump when he was attacked by the Democrats for removing most of the U.S. forces from Syria! Meanwhile the U.S. and its NATO allies openly threaten to bomb Syria to smithereens should it move to liberate its nation from its imperialist-backed occupiers. An estimated half of Syria’s population was driven into internal or external exile during this imperial war of mass murder and destruction of Syria’s infrastructure. And the horror continues to this day, as the U.S.’s unilaterally-imposed sanctions have reduced Syria’s economy to barely survival levels.
American Destruction in Iran
U.S. governments and Israel slightly conceal their role in the july 2 major bombing of Iran’s nuclear research facility in Natanz. An NYT article titled “Long-Term Plan and Bigger Than Thought: Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Program,” written through veteran David E. Sanger and others, is quite explicit:
“While the Iranian center of complex nuclear centrifuges is in charred ruins after an explosion, orchestrated through Israel, the slow-burning crash between the United States and Tehran turns out to be a potentially damaging phase…”
Sanger et al. Continued: “Officials familiar with Natanz’s explosion have in comparison to its complexity with Stuxnet’s complicated cyberattack against Iran’s nuclear facilities a decade ago, which had been planned for more than a year. In the case of last week’s episode, the main theory is that an explosive device placed in the highly monitored facility, in all likelihood near a fuel line. But some experts have also raised the option of a cyber attack used to cause fuel supplies. Natanz’s attack accompanied a series of bombings in Iran.
Trump’s former C.I.A. The director, Mike Pompeo, now secretary of state, has worked hard with Yossi Cohen, who runs the Mossad, Israel and C.I.A.’s secret spying firm. Counterpart. “The two men talk,” Sanger wrote, “which makes it hard to believe that Pompeo had no idea what was going to happen, if in fact it was an Israeli operation,” unlike a direct U.S. operation.
Sanger added: “Cohen was a key player in the complicated series of cyberattacks known as the Olympics that destroyed nearly 1,000 centrifuges operating in Natanz, near last week’s explosion site and chimney, a decade ago.” Cohen was also at the helm of the Mossad of his alleged overconsisting “seizure” of overconsistsive “Iranian secret nuclear documents,” which was followed without delay through an explosive presentation of “secret documents” through Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used to justify the excessive excess of the US. sanctions and attacks on Iran.
And finally, Sanger concluded, “In a way, it’s like a decade ago, when George W. Bush’s management passed cyber operations to Obama’s management, as a component of a vast, covert effort to cried out Iran’s nuclear program.” At the same time, the Israelis were killing Iranian scientists.
Today, U.S. warships are deployed to prevent Iranian tankers bound for Venezuela from being besieged across the United States, whose oil reserves, the world’s largest, have become near-nugatory due to U.S. sanctions, sabotage, a virtual blockade, and an embargo. According to a former UN rapporteur, U.S. sanctions, adding the blockade of food and medical supplies, have claimed the lives of Venezuelan 100,000.
U.S. sanctions and acts of war opposed to Iran and Venezuela have reduced these oil-rich countries to levels close to hunger, and their currencies have been reduced to almost useless.
Venezuela new attack
Last June, Trump’s special representative to Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, announced a new sanctions circular, but not only opposed to Venezuela, which is under an almost general blockade, but opposes any company that would import goods into Venezuela. Mint Press reporter Alan Macleod provided the details:
“Abrams has controlled forcing London-based Lloyd’s Registrar to remove insurance and registration of ships that the United States will help break the blockade, meaning they cannot dock anywhere in the world.” He just doesn’t value the annoyance or threat to [companies],” he cheerfully told Reuters.” [If] there are other people who do not cooperate … We will attack the ship, the owner of the ship, the captain of the ship.” U.S. citizens violating embargo already face 30 years in prison »
McLeod continues: “Washington’s strength and influence have helped freeze Venezuela’s economy, with oil exports at the lowest level in fashion history… Sanctions are a bipartisan business that began under President Obama in 2015, pointing to a “national emergency.” “unusual and ordinary threat” to the United States. »
Not to be outdone, the Democrats’ hoped for president-in-waiting, Joseph Biden, retorted, “Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.” Picking up on Biden’s one-upsmanship denunciation of Trump and aiming to win 2020 votes from Florida’s rightwing Venezuelan and Cuban exile communities, a Democratic Party Super PAC touted Biden’s cold war credentials by not only comparing Trump to Maduro, but to his predecessor Hugo Chavez, and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro!
Despite the raging bipartisan statements of Trump and Biden and their dual parties, the US war device continues. America’s ever-endangered warships patrol the world from the South China Sea to the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, arctic waters, whether off the coast of Africa and now off Venezuela, insisting in any case on the Pentagon and Ministry of Defense proclamations The global total poses a risk to America’s so-called national security interests.
Genocide in Yemen and beyond
The U.S. is a partner with Saudi Arabia in the ongoing genocidal war against the people of Yemen, where millions die from U.S.-supplied weapons to the Saudi invaders and from starvation and cholera. Elsewhere, U.S.-supported and imposed dictators preside over corporate “interests” on every continent, inflicting death squad punishment or overt war on any forces that challenge its domination. Its crippling economic sanctions are imposed on 37 nations; stealing assets in overseas bank accounts, as with Venezuela, and imposing heads of state by force or rigged elections have been the historic U.S. government practice. In the modern era cyberwar stealing of scientific discoveries is the norm. Drone wars, death squad assassination wars, Special Operations wars, privatized army wars and open wars that near instantly destroy any nation’s fundamental infrastructure are daily bi-partisan deeds. The Obama administration presided over seven U.S. wars.
The U.S. secret surveillance intelligence apparatus has no rival on earth. Its “enemies” and “allies” of the moment are near defenseless in its wake. In the name of “national security,” the U.S. maintains the capacity to spy on its entire population, if not the world’s. 1,100 U.S. military bases in 80 countries stand ready for action. The United Kingdom, France and Russia combined have 30. China has 11.
While the horror of the world’s most deadly pandemic in a century has captured world headlines, the U.S. war machine operates uninterrupted today but with the glare of terrible deeds largely obscured from public view.
U.S. ranks first cases of COVID-19
America’s unconditional will for strength and profit is not limited to the foreign scene. Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, when the daily average of new instances in the United States “limited” for a few weeks to 22,000 according to the day, the fifty states, ignoring warnings from the clinical community, began implementing back-down plans. Work. Slaves hired by capitalism were consumable in relation to the benefits of their work. Human lives in the United States and around the world are subordinate to capitalist benefits. Today, with more than four million, the United States is the world’s leading COVID-19 infection, accounting for more than a quarter of global instances worldwide. With the deployment of the “safe” reopening criteria, the daily infection rate has increased to 70,000 with daily deaths of more than 1,000 and rising. Johns Hopkins University reported that the United States has a mortality rate of four four.11, consisting of 100,000 people, which is the fourth worst country in the world among the countries most affected by coronavirus!
Just as systemic racism, that is, institutional racism, is rooted in the very fabric of American society, so are its imperatives of war, exploitation, environmental destruction, and climate disaster in all its myriad and horrific forms. Today, for the first time in a long time, mass forces are emerging in the United States and around the world to challenge the fatal prerogatives of capitalism and create a long road where the multiple riders of the capitalist apocalypse are banished and human beings are banished: the vast majority as opposed to the multimillion-dollar elite: build a new world where freedom justice and social equality reign around the world.
