I've said on this blog over and over that US Imperialism is a never ending, unstoppable force for evil in the world.
Corruption in our Neoliberal Capitalist Economy along with the corruption pervasive in our Bourgeois Democracy long ago led US Imperialism to go into hyperdrive.
Our neverending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with Libya, Yemen,l) Somalia, Chad, Niger, Nigeria, and so on; it doesn't take a Marxist to see the entire US Economy has become a War based Economy, depending on constantly expanding Warfare to realize Economic growth through Imperialist expansion.
From Military buildups in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Columbia and North Africa, it's been clear for quite some time now that the Ruling Capitalist Class has been unsatisfied with the slow growth Status Quo and have been itching for a new War to drive up prices on Fossil Fuels and requisitioning big Military Contracts due to the Trump Administration's willingness, and indeed eagerness to accelerate the pattern of Privatization of US Warfare.
We have now reached the point where more Mercenary Military Contractors have died fighting in Afghanistan than actual US Soldiers.
This is undoubtedly the big opportunity the Capitalists have been waiting for: US War Incorporated.
Privatization of Warfare has meant two things. One, Mission Creep is no longer deniable. The almost Wars in South America, North Africa and the Middle East endlessly expand and the others never end. And Two, the Ruling Class will be looking to start new Wars.
It doesn't matter all that much who's in the White House. Hillary Clinton was a notorious Neocon who saw Henry Kissenger, the notorious War Criminal who to this day can't travel to certain parts of the world for fear of being Charged for his Crimes Against Humanity, Clinton openly bragged how Kissenger was a mentor.
Joe Biden is no different. Another Liberal Expansionist, Joe Biden, like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton before him will go to bat for the War Economy. Unlike the Trump Administration, Democrats eagerly look for opportunities to create a new Legal Framework for the War Economy to exist within rather than the Republican president of Lawless Expansion vulnerable to Public Opinion and International Law but that can act more swiftly and without Congressional concerns.
But make no Mistake, the War Economy and the instigation of War with Iran is only the latest salvo of a pattern that's been on an endless march forward since the end of World War II.
Each War's end is proceeded by a new one. US Imperialism has been steadily marching forward without pushback for 80 years and now that some pushback actually is occurring from rising powers like China and India, you see more and more desperation to rapidly ramp up the US Imperialist stake in and control of World Resources, land, and strategic positions to remain Economically and Militarily dominant.
Since the Public has had little stomach for a new War, the Trump Administration has been pressing buttons all across the World, looking for vulnerabilities where their instigations will create a response they can use to claim a new War as inevitable and unavoidable (though very unfortunate I'm sure).
The Ruling Class has settled on Iran. One because of its rich access to resources. Two because of its previous presentation as the "Bad Guys" on the World Stage. Three because of their Economic vulnerabilities. And Four because they're easy to be antagonistic with while getting little pushback from the rest of the International Community or the Domestic Public.
But they couldn't make it too blantantly obvious they were instigating a War. And so the Trump Administration set out to set up a series of False Flag Operations that they could then use to drum up support for a War.
This came in the form of the Ship bombing that conveniently caught supposed soldiers in Iranian Uniform pulling a mine out of the waters on camera. As if Iran were actually that stupid.
That one was a very obvious CIA Operation and ploy to drum up support for War with Iran.
When that didn't work, next they flew a US Drone along a part of the border with Iranian Airspace where they new the border moves back and forth, and so the Trump Administration could claim the drone wasn't in Iranian Airspace despite flying in and out of their airspace.
When Iran shot down the drone, it was their word versus ours. And that was that.
But still it wasn't enough to gain Domestic Public support for a War with Iran. And so they set out to do something bigger. Something they knew very well Iran would have to respond to. And this came in the form of the Quds Force General Soleimani's Assassination.
Knowing how popular General Soleimani was in Iran, the Trump Administration knew there was no way Iran could go without responding.
And so here we are again. Nearly Twenty years after the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars began, and though they still haven't ended after Trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives, millions of Middle Eastern Civilian lives, and a vacuum where Iran was given its oppirtunity for Regional Dominance where previously they couldn't.
So don't fall for this garbage. Anyone with their eyes open for the last twenty years knows full well what's going on here. And if you don't you're a fucking hopeless idiot and I'm not going to waste any more time explaining it to you. This is the Cost of US Imperialism. This is where it takes its payment in blood. You decide whether or not you can support the blood of another million or so innocent Civilians for the profit if Billionaires.
Guess we're going to have to bring back the old Iraq War Protest slogan: No Blood For Oil
Obviously they didn't get it the first time
