Continuing to envision the new Cold War with Russia both as a ticket for ongoing increases in military spending and a convenient way to coax regional allies into complicated alliances, the Pentagon is increasingly interested in building its war games across broad global conflicts, and in particular a war with Russia.
US war games used to be very regional, with one or no more than a handful of nations involved in very limited missions. In recent years, they’ve grown progressively in scope, and that’s no accident. Brig. Gen. John Healy, who coordinates exercises in Europe, says the US wants to prepare for more complex wars with broader goals.
Brig. Gen. Healy said the goal was even broader, saying in the long run the US is working toward a single, globally integrated war game, so that all the exercises are on the same page, and part of the same global war game.
It’s going to be difficult to boil all the war games down into a single one, since different regions have different bogeymen. It would be difficult, for instance, to bring the annual US war games in South Korea, traditionally practice for attacking North Korea, into being somehow about Russia.
I wonder what it is going to take for the American people to realize that their irrational love affair and hero worship of the military could very well be an enabler for cataclysmic and world-changing events. People need to realize that if it gets to the point where governments start throwing nukes around willy-nilly, their lives will forever be changed – or ended. People need to go back and read or watch some of the post-apocalyptic fiction that has been produced since 1945. I’ll guarantee you that the despair depicted in these stories is nowhere near the true reality that will ensue after a global nuclear engagement. And no, life as we know it will not survive. And if people believe that after such an event, the American government will pull the people together and rebuild the country, they’re woefully ignorant. People will be scared, disillusioned, and very, very angry – and it won’t be toward the Russians or the Chinese or the North Koreans but the politicians and military who took us to a bad, bad place. And if the politicians believe that their “eliteness” will protect them from the mobs they too are majestically delusional. It’s not a phuking game…there is no reset button…no mulligans…game over.
But, that’s just this old curmudgeon’s opinion…
Both Russia and China would love to play war games with the Pentagon today . If we can make sure they only are games and nobody gets hurt .They both have been working together ever since NATO humiliated them and illegally destroyed Yugoslavia about 20 yrs ago .Both of them have developed a lot of new weapons and i think they would love to show NATO how well they work . So the Pentagon wants war games but please keep them only games .
And that illegal destruction — coming on the heels of drunken cold war victory ball
generated the new Eurasian netwok. It cannot be called alliance as it conguree up
In our mind a top fown structures like NATO or a hundreds of thousands pages of standards, rules, agreements, chapters, and packets. It is best described as network, where the state of complete mutual trust has been reached, and this state is different among and between various nembers.
With ithis dynamic process came a goal of establishing a new and A “more just” international order. Nobody paid attention. The new order does not just wave lofty principles, but introduces a methodology for implementatikn, to insure principles are not just for the weak to ibide by. I do not recall any western media discuss them, anali.yze its practices. The dynamic is simple, on the first first blush. But it takes practicing it to understand that the level of trust is what is built and earned.
What I am trying to say is — and who exactley are our allies? We have not achieved a level of mutual trust with practically no country in the world. Our allies have a particular self-interest that binds them to us, but even this is shaky, as most allies today are highly displeased with the bunker mentality, expectations of hierarchical, top-down obedience — even as it destroys their economic wellbeing and is endangering their security. Examples are galore. Europe has been paying dearly for US sanctions, as US expects ITS DOMESTIC LEGISLATION to be obeyed by its sllies as if it were international law. Baltic states and Poland are Vatican experiments — pushing them into anti-Russian (translate, anti Orthodox Christian branch) and anti-German (translate, anti-Protestant) reliance on US, and its European emissary, UK. Consider lately revived Intermarium — and old Vatican plan for converting to Catholicism countries in the “three seas” triangle — Baltic, Adriatic and Black Sea. These are not our allies, as they are serving interests of. Vatican — that at the moment coincide with ours. There is no true mutual trust — quite the opposite, population of those countries is not happy with anti-Russian zeal. Who then? Germany, France and UK? They are in crisis– with populace getting more and more interested in their sovereign democracy, than imperial games.
South Korea? Huge trade with China, and actively seeking in estments in Russia’s Far East. Japan? Huge trade with China and growing interest in Russia’s Far East and energy supplies. India? Firmly in Russia-China new world order, trying to demonstrate its brnefits to US, by coaxing US into cooperation on all fronts. But what US is trying to do repeatedly — is to cut off India from Eurasia. It is like a C student that does not get it, but thinks he is adequate. India and other Asian countries are open for busines, but having accepted Shanghai spirit of SCO, practice DO NO HARM. For the love of US they will not stab Russia and China into back. Turkey is an example of a country that could not grow unless linked to Eurasian economies. NATO rigidity was undermining it, until Turkey moved independently into trade that benefits it. But ever since, out neocon press has satanized its president and everything thry couldvthink off.
Does anyone ghink that India-China border issues are serious? Both countries must find the way to curb their ultra- nationalism, and solve the old ittitant.
Even removal of Navaz Sharif in Pakistan will not change the Pakistani trajectory. With no country we can truly call friendly, one does not plan for global governance and mitary.
Rome could not defeat the Christians so they partnered and created the Holy Roman empire The NWO can not defeat the Muslims It looks like they are partnering now trying to create the Holy Islamic empire .
I guess you could call that strategy, “If you can’t lick them, then join them.”
