Neocon US leadership is absolutely determined to put us in a losing position

Why pick a fight that we will inevitably lose?

 

Pile'a bones Mother Nan Pelosi (and a small entourage of sycophants) is still scheduled to visit Taiwan.

 

To make sure that Nan's trip is even more immensely provocative to the mainland Chinese, the US is sending an aircraft carrier group to the South China Sea.

 

As well as implicitly yapping about having fighter jets protect the Speaker's plane from the allegedly bad Chinese. Who are (we say) all about taking over the world.

 

That expansion to be accomplished (we ordinary folk must surmise) what with China's one naval base in Djibouti and its pitiful handful of troops outside China's borders.

 

 

Cosmic Hypocrite America . . .

 

. . . also, arguably accurately, known as the Great Satan — what with its 800-850 foreign military bases and its long record of starting wars all over the place — broadcasts these propagandized anti-China 'truths' all day, every day.

 

 

Let's put the Mother Nan thing into strategic perspective

 

The United States started the Russo-Ukrainian War.

 

Then imposed anti-Russia sanctions that are destroying Europe, wounding Americans, and fatally undermining the US-run global financial system.

 

And now, with that completely self-caused debacle well underway, the US is aggressively Nasty-Poking the Panda.

 

Evidently hoping that another neocon-instigated war will magically reverse America's decades-long economic and strategic suicide.

 

 

The moral? — Does anyone really think that . . .

 

. . . the self-deindustrialized United States is going to win a war against the planet's most impressively industrial and economically powerful nation?

 

And its approximately 1.5 billion people?

 

As I wrote recently:

 

 

In practice, neoconservatism becomes a form of nihilistic self-destruction.

 

 

There is literally nothing admirable — or morally worthy — in the (always brainlessly originated) neocon process.
