The Slow Death of American Imperialism

We're looking for the trifecta of goodness from the UK as first came Sadiq Khan, the new Mayor of London, the next was the rejection of the TTIP, and we know there's a third to complete the trifecta but we're not sure what it was.

We can see it also with the installation of ABM sites around Russia and Putin telling them to piss off on any idea of passing off this kit as defensive when its only purpose is to provide a false cover for when NATO shoots off missiles at Russia.  It's cynical crap to call it defensive in pushing some device the other guy is not using.  It's open aggression and the world is fed-up to the gills with it, in some cases, chasing NATO off the streets.

The falsity of the NATO premise couldn't be more obvious as it encroaches more and more on Russia without any response from Russia beyond strengthening her own borders which, not surprisingly, America calls aggression from them.  Doublespeak and words which mean the opposite of what they say come unmodified from "1984."  War is peace, defense is aggression, etc, etc.

Of course Mother Russia will defend herself because she knows what it's like to be invaded and she will damn sure never let it happen again.  Push it and the world will burn.  You know this already but still the military continues.  Just who the hell gives them these orders ... or does anyone?


We have no doubt at all Bernie Sanders will not tolerate the naked aggression and he's the only one in the country qualified to talk to Putin about it.  He doesn't need right-wing Merkel to stand by him, he doesn't need anyone, since his case is clear, honest, and forthright.

No More Dead Americans for False Causes!  Remember Vietnam ... and all the others since.

Note:  the only act even marginally justifiable was in Haiti in which the U.S. military went in there, did what they said they would do, and got back out again.  That was one of the few things Clinton got right but he more than made up for it by the damage he did elsewhere (e.g. jobs, banks, etc).
