Friday marked the deadline during which the United States formally
withdrew from the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. This
led to quick statements from NATO, and certain NATO members like Poland
and Britain, saying the treaty’s failure was all Russia’s fault.
With the treaty now officially gone, the Pentagon is acting quick to start testing and developing new intermediate-range nuclear tests, since of course such missiles couldn’t be developed since 1987.
Officials are concerned, however, that in bankrolling nuclear-capable
missiles that were up until yesterday illegal to develop, they don’t
have enough money set aside, and US officials say that they are
concerned House Democrats may resist further funding.
Defense officials were already criticizing Congress for not giving them
more money to develop the missiles, saying “it’s going to help Russia”
to not spend more money on nuclear-capable arms.
Russia, for their part, issued an offer for the US to join them in announcing a temporary moratorium
on deploying any intermediate-range nuclear missiles to try to prevent a
race to put a bunch of more nuclear arms into the theater in Europe.
The US is unlikely to agree to such a deal, as the Pentagon seems to
have been salivating, from the moment the INF’s collapse was suggested,
about the chance to get a bunch of new missiles into testing.
Greed so intense they don’t care about furthering the end of human civilization. How much money do these bloodsucking defense contractors need?
They don’t need any more money at this point. It’s all about preserving the mass murder for profit business model via ensuring you and I are completely cut off from the levers of power within government or the economy.
The greed-heads do consider others – their worthless, equally greedy off-spring. Because Mommy and Daddy got to live large, Missy and Junior should have the same chance. As the old Chester Riley used to exclaim, “Oh, what a revolting development this will turn out to be!”
Funding? Did somebody say funding? No problem. We have plenty of money. No objections ever raised to spending on anything military. Complete silence on all fronts. No politicians, no media, no think-tanks no academia. No grumbling from masses. Clearly, no problem.
You’re either with us on spending even more than the record-breaking latest US military budget on weapons we can’t use without killing everyone on earth, or you’re with the Russians. Hopefully the Russians are less genocidally insane than our top brass.
The Deep State – a crossroad of military industrialists, Oil Titans, bankers, the donor class, information controllers, religious fundamentalists and whatever global elites we want to put in this category – must love this administration.
