Obama's gift for talking about nothing is unmatched. There are many who can do it with the lobotomized vacuity of Fox News broadcasters but none are so good at giving the impression of actual content.
'The military should be a last resort'
Yah, instead use the CIA. That worked fine in Chile when the CIA took out Salvador Allende thus destabilizing an elected government Washington deemed Marxist. Pinochet took over and then followed seventeen years of fascist torture and murder. Score 1, Team CIA. (Wiki: Salvador Allende)
Same thing in Iran with the Shah. Topple the government, install a puppet, and watch the country go all to hell after they overthrow him.
And the same in Vietnam ... and Iraq ... and Afghanistan ... and Libya ... and Syria ... and Ukraine. Congratulations on a new addition to the list as Yemen, one of America's favorite drone targets, had a coup yesterday.
There's such a parade of countries destroyed by U.S. assistance that they should have a float in the Macy's Parade on Thanksgiving.
The appearance of incompetence in the overthrow of various foreign governments is an illusion as it doesn't matter how bad the government that follows so long as it is not aligned with the left. The U.S. has no morality of any kind with regard to the brutality of Saudis or their inspiration for a substantial part of the world's terrorism but there's one thing the Saudis know: if they get cozy with the Russians then the U.S. will snuff the King as quickly as it took out all the others.
The consequence worldwide is strongly right-shifted governments almost everywhere and it's notable to find countries with any significant level of social services for their people (i.e. free college, guaranteed medical, etc), most of which are in Scandinavia. Even Communists aren't Communists anymore.
In parallel with the right shift has been a financial shift in which globally the rich got rich and the poor got poorer. That aspect is secondary to the damage the shift has caused as their military allocations waste money that should be going toward preparation for the change in climate. In the current Holy War climate, there's more interest in killing Muslims than preventing New Orleans from winding up underwater. That makes sense to PEGIDA and the GOP.
Redistribution of wealth is not going about putting a quarter under the pillow for any poor person but rather focusing that wealth on substantive changes that benefit humanity rather than destroying it. Their Holy War has only one consequence: cities will end up burning, they already are. If people worked as aggressively to repair the world as they do to destroy it then the whole planet could be a garden.
The fundamental premise to all of this is that the Council of 85 makes money on the perpetual conflict or they would stop it. They got richer over the last twenty years so continuous combat in the world suits them just fine.
