Iam canes intra moenia latrantes.
The barking dogs are already inside the walls
and the America ABS was born into in 1948 has disappeared.
Just the other day he was in a big box store where English was, likely, a minority language being spoken and where Hijabs and Burkas could be seen. Now just try telling ABS he could have anticipated this sort of bizarre bazaar when he was 12 y.o. in 1960 and America was still 90% white.
America has wasted trillions of dollars in its endless wars and that money will never be recouped as any material or psychological profit that might justify the vain and insane expenditure.
It is all, every singe damn dollar, money poorly spent - and that is to not even speak of the evil of sending kids off into war zones which no damn plan for victory exists and in which ceaseless wars innocent lives are cruelly and crudely taken while hope is forsaken.
- Over 6,000 days after it began, America’s war in Afghanistan continues, with Times correspondents providing regularand regularly repetitive updates;
- In the seven-year-long civil war that has engulfed Syria, the ever-shifting cast of belligerents now includes at least 2,000 (some sources say 4,000) U.S. special operators, the rationale for their presence changing from week to week, even as plans to keep U.S. troops in Syria indefinitely take shape;
- In Iraq, now liberated from ISIS, itself a byproduct of U.S. invasion and occupation, U.S. troops are now poised to stay on, more or less as they did in West Germany in 1945 and in South Korea after 1953;
- On the Arabian Peninsula, U.S. forces have partnered with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud in brutalizing Yemen, thereby creating a vast humanitarian disaster despite the absence of discernible U.S. interests at stake;
- In the military equivalent of whacking self-sown weeds, American drones routinely attack Libyan militant groups that owe their existence to the chaos created in 2011 when the United States impulsively participated in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi;
- More than a quarter-century after American troops entered Somalia to feed the starving, the U.S. military mission continues, presently in the form of recurring airstrikes;
- Elsewhere in Africa, the latest theater to offer opportunities for road-testing the most recent counterterrorism techniques, the U.S. military footprint is rapidly expanding, all but devoid of congressional (or possibly any other kind of) oversight;
- From the Levant to South Asia, a flood of American-manufactured weaponry continues to flow unabated, to the delight of the military-industrial complex, but with little evidence that the arms we sell or give away are contributing to regional peace and stability;
- Amid this endless spiral of undeclared American wars and conflicts, Congress stands by passively, only rousing itself as needed to appropriate money that ensures the unimpeded continuation of all of the above;
- Meanwhile, President Trump, though assessing all of this military hyperactivity as misbegotten—“Seven trillion dollars. What a mistake.”—is effectively perpetuating and even ramping up the policies pioneered by his predecessors.
The people we bomb and kill hate our guts with an undying passion and if you, dear reader, were a Mahometan living in a Muslim Majority Country that was being invaded/bombed by the U.S. and you could make it safely inside the US to commit as much deadly mayhem as possible to avenge the death of your wife, children, and other loved relatives and friends, wouldn't you do it?
Many men become angry when they hear politicians say that a certain level of terrorism in the West is just something we are going to have to get used to but, admit it, they are right because the West - led by the decadent, delusional, and diabolical U.S. - is not going to change its course of ceaseless wars because filthy lucre.
The Deep State that controls The U.S. is comprised, of among other entities, huge international corporations and banks that reap grave profits from these wars.
America has long ceased to exist and one can already smell the dying embers of the expiring empire.
