Obama to escalate Iraq War III

Image result for obama iraq war 3The never ending Terror War continues in Iraq and Syria to defeat Emmanuel Goldstein al Qaeda ISIS. Obama will order another 615 troops to Iraq bringing the total there to 5,262. They will assist the Empire’s puppet regime in retaking Mosul from the evil terrorists. Although as the article points out, the true number of US soldiers in that decimated country is actually much higher.  I guess the government is trying to downplay this latest imperial adventure in the Middle East ahead of Killery’s coronation as Empress.

Meanwhile both Obama and Clinton promise to bring in more refugees from Syria.  So basically they want to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria and then import them to the USA as long as they claim refugee status.

The Secretary of War Defense Ashton Carter had this to say:

“But I need to make clear… American forces combating ISIL in Iraq are in harm’s way… no one should be in any doubt about that,” Carter said.

How long they will stay is up to the Iraqis, Carter insisted.

“We are certainly to continue to help the Iraqi security forces in whatever measure and manner they wish to consolidate the control over their country after they’ve recaptured this last major ISIL center,” he said.

So our glorious leader, Emperor Barack Hussein Obama, is putting US soldiers in harm’s way and promising to keep them there as long as the Iraqi government wants them to stay. Is that how it works now?  The president offers combat troops to foreign governments and lets those foreign governments decide how they will be used and when they’re allowed to leave that foreign country?  I thought decisions like this were supposed to be made by the American people through their congressional representatives.

I almost couldn’t type that last sentence I was laughing so hard.

I remind anyone reading this that the US Military has been occupying Japan and Germany for over seventy years.

Gary Johnson is a clown

Is this really the best the Libertarian Party could do?  Such a wasted opportunity.  With both Killery and the Donald loathed by a large portion of the electorate, the LP could have really advanced the cause of actual Liberty.  But instead they went with the guy they thought could get 15% of the vote.  Maybe he’s got a shot at that modest goal, but I doubt it.

The guy thinks HIllary was a “fine public servant.”  He’s supported the Afghan War.  His VP pick is basically a neocon in the mold of Mitt Romney.  He favors the continued illegality of “discrimination” by private businesses.  He’s for open borders.

He’s kind of libertarian-ish on a lot of issues, but he’s not a real libertarian.  And he doesn’t act like a serious candidate.  The LP made the wrong choice.  Again.

Latest Trump-bashing article misses the mark

There is plenty you could criticize Donald Trump for, but the Financial Times seems to have become a cheerleader for the US Dominated Global Military Empire. So of course they prefer Hitlery and make a number of unfair attacks on her opponent.

Here is some of the nonsense written by Philip Stephens where he expresses his fear that the “liberal rules-based system” that has kept “global order” for the last seventy years is breaking down:

Mr Putin is trying to redraw borders in Europe

Just an outright lie.  The US expanded NATO right up to Russia’s border.  The US funded the overthrow of the pro-Russian Ukrainian government which drove the inhabitants of Crimea to vote for Russian annexation.  Who is the aggressor here?  What other borders has Russia “redrawn?”  I believe the US and NATO redrew the borders in the Balkans in the 1990s.  But that was okay because liberalism.

the Middle East is in flames

Thanks to the “liberal” Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s meddling there.  How is this Trump’s fault?  He hasn’t been president and it’s already “in flames.”  Seems more like it’s Hillary’s fault.

European unity is fracturing

I’m not conceding that this is a bad thing, but at any rate, the main reason it’s fracturing is because Europe’s version of Hillary, Germany’s Angela Merkel, has flooded the continent with Muslim “refugees.” The refugee crisis, by the way, was caused by Hillary’s Middle Eastern wars.

jihadi terrorism is spreading

Again, this is due to the Iraq War that Hillary supported, and her meddling in Syria and Libya.  But the article suggests somehow that this is Trump’s fault or that he’ll make it worse.

pluralism is challenged by authoritarianism

This is just an example of the meaningless gibberish smug liberal writers use to try and sound smart.

China is contesting the status quo in the South China Sea and its neighbours are rearming in response

What’s President Hillary going to do about it?  Start a naval war with China?  Give Vietnam money and weapons so they can lose a war with China more slowly?  Why is this the USA’s problem? If Trump wants to stay out of the South China Sea (I’m not really sure what his position is), then I would support that.

populists are storming the citadels across advanced democracies.

Precisely because the leaders of these democracies have been carrying out the policies advocated by the likes of Phlip Stephens.  I guess democracy’s only good when the globalists win elections.  Otherwise it’s “dangerous populism.”

He questions the US security umbrella in the Pacific

And everyone knows that’s dangerous to question.  I mean obviously the USA has to defend Japan and South Korea for the rest of eternity because they’re such poor defenseless countries.

He undercuts the credibility of Nato’s defence of Europe

Right.  I’m sure if the US takes troops out of Germany, the Russians will invade.  And Germany could never afford to pay for their own defense.  And once Russia takes over Germany, then it will be England.  Then they’ll invade New York City.  Oh my God!!! Trump is so dangerous!

the US might stand by if Russian troops marched into the Baltic states

Of course it would.  Does Philip Stephens really believe that if Russia occupied Estonia tomorrow that the USA would do anything about it other than pass more sanctions and condemn it in the UN?  What could the USA actually do?  Launch a global nuclear war?  And what evidence is there that Putin would have any interest in taking over the Baltic States?  What benefit would there be to him or the Russian people?  None.  This is just fear mongering masquerading as serious foreign policy analysis.

There is no sense in any of this that American national security is safeguarded by alliances and international order.

That’s because it’s not.  These alliances are all one sided.  The USA defends Estonia.  What the Hell is Estonia going to do for America?  How is having troops in South Korea enhancing the national security of ordinary Americans?  Is the only thing stopping North Korea from nuking Los Angels the 30,000 soldiers on its border?  Does anyone really believe that?  What is the evidence that any alliance has ever benefited the average citizens of the USA?

Remind me to stop reading articles that start out by lauding the “liberal global order.”

Fed Chairwoman “afraid” of Donald Trump

So says some “strategist” on NBC.

I’m sure she is.  He’s not the typical brain dead puppet like Bush or Obama who just goes along with whatever the Banksters tell him.  He seems to actually have at least a basic understanding of what the Fed does and how it affects the economy.Image result for yellen crazyMy prediction: The Fed will raise rates after the election.  They’ll have to.  It will crash the markets and we’ll have a bad recession.

If it’s President Trump, the Fed will have nothing to lose so they’ll do it sooner than if Hillary wins. Trump will be blamed for bringing “instability” to the economy.  He’ll nominate someone else and eventually replace Yellen.  Whether he gets someone in there that will be at least somewhat responsible with the interest rates remains to be seen.  I honestly can’t even guess what he’ll do.

If Killery wins they’ll do a very small rate increase.  They’ll say we were “due for a recession” so it’s not her fault when the markets crash and people start losing their jobs.  If things don’t turn around to where the government can claim GDP growth or lower unemployment in time for her re-election campaign, they’ll fuel another bubble with negative interest rates.  Clinton will renominate Yellen if Yellen still wants the job. Otherwise she’ll nominate whoever is next in line from the board of governors.

How’s that for a prediction!

Obama continues to flood USA with “Syrians”

All they have to do is say they’re a refugee from Syria.  No way to check.  But it adds to diversity so it’s automatically good.  Anyone who questions the policy is a Trump-loving bigot whose ancestry is probably comprised of ethnicities that should just do the world a favor and go extinct anyway.

Plus these “refugees” and their children will probably eventually vote Democrat.  That’s all that really counts.

The long hot summer is over

Image result for charlotte riotsSummer has come to an end and residents of American urban centers can only hope they will get a reprieve from the recent epidemic of riots. It seems cops can’t even shoot a black man without more violent “protests” breaking out.  Black on black gun violence just isn’t acceptable if one of them has a badge.

I guess the cops will have to stick to shooting white people. That continues to fly under the radar.
