The tangled mess created by Obama and his buddies during the last election is unraveling rapidly now that the FBI and Department of Justice both had to release raw information to select Congressional committees investigating the election and ‘Russian collusion’ messes. Yes, there was Russian collusion…by the Democrats and Obama! Not by Trump. This is front page news in conservative media and totally ignored or openly lied about in fake mainstream Bilderberg news systems.
I had the joy of knowing former Marines who fought on Iwo Jima. The true horrors of war are paramount to understand. What is going on today is, we have a ‘volunteer army’ that can’t take even small casualties before forcing a retreat. So we end up going into and then running away from relentless wars like the 30+ year in and out Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Now, suicidally, the Pentagon and Congress are demanding that women replace men! As if this will lead to victory in these futile wars.
Aftermath of largest non-nuclear bomb strike revealed—and it is hilarious…nearly nothing changed except for some MUD HUTS were half-destroyed! It turns out this ‘fortress’ was a pre-WWI series of mud buildings erected under the orders of the British Maj. A billion dollar bomb to semi-flatten mud huts! Typical. This reminds me of the Vietnam War.
We just spent $16 million to kill 36 ‘militants’ on a mountain in Afghanistan. The wars against peasant fighters just like the Vietnam War and the fatal, stupid and illegal Iraq wars (plural) we repeat the exact same mistakes of the last 60 years over and over again, the Pentagon learns NOTHING. Ever. Each of these ‘foreign fighters’ cost taxpayers well beyond $16 million, the cost of transporting the bombs, the cost of the hours the plane that flew the weapons to Afghanistan, the cost of the bases used to do all this, the cost of the geniuses in the Pentagon who cooked up this costly ‘victory’ is well beyond $36 million. Spending a million per dead Afghani is how a country goes bankrupt.
2015: MOAB – Mother of All Bombs GBU-43/B – the Pentagon boasts that this is the ‘mother of all bombs’. The Tsar nuclear bomb by Russia is the father of all possible bombs being 1000 times more dangerous. The Pentagon is running riot again just like they did for the last 60 years, pretty much my entire life. I grew up in the shadow of the nuclear bombs, grrr…it wasn’t a picture in the news, it was very real at the secret military base where we lived for a while during the Eisenhower years.
As Trump has now been lured into the Neocon treehouse and shown the Way to Power, he is helping them continue their “Götterdämmerung” plans to have WWIII. Putin did as I expected, he has given up on the idea that Trump was going to change course. The Chinese said nothing as they exited the country but I know the Chinese very well and their silence is important. They will not advertise their plans, naturally. The US media is pleased with this change in direction but voters who voted for Trump are intensely angry.
This terrible picture is from 1972…Below is a 1972 story from the NYT about Pentagon Paper bomb facts…This happened AFTER the Pentagon Papers revealed the truth.
As we approach the New Year, we are simultaneously in the deep, dark past. That is, the US military/war machine continues to make the same mistakes over and over and over again as US diplomacy does the dumbest things on earth to insure we never learn from past mistakes and the only difference between 1965 and 2016 is the names of some of the stupid people who seem unable to learn a blasted thing from history. U.S. Eye in the Sky Glares at ISIS as Battle Brews in Syria the New York Times reports:
American commanders said the aerial surveillance and bombing campaign targeting the Islamic State in Iraq could play an even greater role in Syria. The air war will support fighters on the ground in the looming offensive to retake Raqqa, the terrorist group’s capital in Syria.
