"Because the United States does not look like a militarized country, it's hard for Americans to grasp that Washington is a war capital, that the United States is a war state, that it garrisons much of the planet, and that the norm for us is to be at war somewhere at any moment." -- Tom Engelhardt
As Trump Orders US Out of Afghanistan, Notorious CIA-Backed Units Will Remain

The US should make reparations for the devastation it has wreaked in Afghanistan and Syria. Politicians and pundits alike have roundly criticized Donald Trump for stating he will pull our troops out of Syria and cut US forces in Afghanistan by half. James Mattis immediately resigned as secretary of defense, writing in a letter to Trump, “you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours.” As the US military kills civilians in Syria and CIA-led Afghan forces continue to commit war crimes, it appears Trump is doing the right thing in pulling out military troops. But the CIA will remain and grow stronger after the US troops leave. ...
Unaccounted for in Syria, US Missiles May Ultimately Threaten US Troops

US anti-tank missiles held by myriad insurgents across Middle East. US government determination to show how pro-rebel they were during the Syrian War by shipping large amounts of anti-tank missiles to various rebel groups could come back to haunt them. That’s because while many of these groups are defeated, few of the weapons are accounted for, and a lot are known to have ended up in the hands of other militant factions. While problems keeping track of US arms were identified almost immediately,, they were never really corrected. At this point, US anti-tank missiles are now part of the arsenal of militant groups across the Middle East. With the US remaining heavily engaged in the ...
BASED Trump Calls for Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan

A Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? Now that’s a war of aggression I can get behind! RT: Offering an explanation of why US should withdraw from Afghanistan, President Donald Trump appeared to endorse the Soviet intervention there in the 1980s and by extension, disavow US support for jihadist insurgents. “Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia, because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday, following a cabinet meeting at the White House. Arguing that Russia, India and Pakistan were all in Afghanistan’s neighborhood and should fight terrorism there rather than expecting the US to, Trump offered an ...

Reminder on the Background of the Syrian War

In light of recent events, it is worthwhile to give a brief summary of the events of the Syrian war for those who weren’t reading the Daily Stormer (or other decent alternative media) a few years ago, or who simply need a refresher. It has truly been an absolutely bizarre period of human history. I will just give an outline from memory, without specific sources. My memory is very good, but if there is any point you want to know more about, all of this can be Googled. Despite the fact that the media runs with a very specific narrative, none of what I am saying here is especially controversial, and all of it has been reported by the mainstream media. I will make it as clear as ...
Shifting Reasons for US Involvement in the Middle East and the Mounting Democrat War Machine

The reasons for American involvement in the Middle East have been many. Ultimately, the true reason is simply that “Jews want it,” and are able to push it through their various lobbying groups, their positions within the government and their control of the American media apparatus. As is the case with every Jewish agenda, the rationalization for a certain action is post-hoc. Any explanation for American involvement in the Middle East can be used as long as enough people can be convinced to go along with it. These are those that have been used so far: Revenge for 9/11 – this was the justification for invading Afghanistan Preventing an invasion and/or nuking of America ...
No War is Hell

The first indictment of a war criminal is losing the war. Some generals understand this innately and so endeavor to keep their morality pristine by plowing over as many corpses as their infantry can burn. By this measure William Tecumseh Sherman may have been the most ethical fighter of his age. One of his most famous assertions was that War is Hell. It was a quote he strived to uphold. Yet while war may be Hell, Hell has never been vacated by American troops. So Satan is hardly in the best position to gauge whether war or no war is the more lurid horror. Now perhaps the people of Syria can. Because according to the Carlos Slim Tumblr page... www.nytimes.com/20 ...
Former Blackwater Guard Found Guilty of Murder for Role in Nisour Square Massacre

Former Blackwater USA guard Nicholas Slatten was found guilty of first-degree murder by a federal jury in Washington, DC on Wednesday, more than 11 years after he and other men employed by the private military contractor killed 17 innocent Iraqi civilians in a crowded square in central Baghdad, Iraq. The Associated Press reports prosecutors had charged that Slatten, 35, was the first to open fire during the September 16, 2007 Nisour Square massacre, killing 19-year-old Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubia’y, who was driving his mother to an appointment. The defense unsuccessfully argued that Slatten and other guards only started shooting after Al Rubia’y’s Kia sedan, which they ...

The U.S. Government’s Plan Is to Conquer Russia by a Surprise Invasion

The following combination of articles explains — and they link to conclusive evidence proving — that the United States Government is actually designing its nuclear forces now with the intention to win a nuclear war against Russia (World War III), and no longer (if they ever really were) adhering to the idea (“Mutually Assured Destruction”) that WW III would produce unacceptable catastrophe for both sides, and must therefore be prevented. The U.S. Government is definitely set upon winning WW III, not avoiding WW III. Nuclear weapons are thus being built and deployed by the U.S. Government with the intention to conquer Russia, and this goal has become NATO’s ...

It’s always interesting to read the comments on a post that tries to get to the truth about 9/11. Comments ridiculing these efforts as “conspiracy theory” are still popping up, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans and global citizens believe that something fishy happened that day and that an adequate explanation as to what happened was never provided by the US government. These days, people are taking matters into their own hands instead of constantly relying on the government, especially for information. Government and mainstream media forces have fought back, bringing about the complete deletion and/or censorship of alternative media outlets. Prior ...
USAF Says Insurgent Drones Are Watching One Of Its Bases In Afghanistan '24/7'

The service says it is hoping to field directed energy weapons in the near-term to help combat the rapidly expanding threat. Insurgents are using small unmanned aircraft to regularly monitor activity at a major American base in Afghanistan. This is yet another example of how the Taliban and other militant groups in the country are expanding their capabilities and further highlights the increasingly common threat of readily available commercial drones to nation-state security forces both on and off the battlefield. Tom Lockhart, the Director of the Strategic Development Planning and Experimentation Office (SDPE) at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), disclosed this detail ...
Why Russia Won't Invade the Ukraine, the Baltic Statelets or Anybody Else

The AngloZionist propaganda machine is constantly warning us that Russia is about to invade some country. The list of candidates for invasion is long and ranges from Norway to the Ukraine and includes the Baltic statelets, Poland and even countries further West. Of course, we are also told that NATO and the US are here to prevent that. Well, thank God for them, right? But what is conspicuously missing from this narrative is a discussion of the possible Russian motives for such a military move. Typically, we are merely told that Russia has broken the European post-Cold War order and borders by “annexing” Crimea and by sending military forces into the Donbass. Anybody with an IQ ...

As with Iraq, the US stares down an open-ended presence in Syria President Trump came into office harshly critical of endless wars in the Middle East, but seems to be staring down the barrel of another such conflict in Syria. This reflects the Pentagon’s determination to stay in the country, and the administration’s ambitious goals not being really attainable. The US wants an “enduring defeat of ISIS,” as ever, but has also tacked onto that a full withdrawal of all Iran-backed forces from the “entirety of Syria,” along with an irreversible political process that officials have maintained can’t involve Assad or other top Syrian officials. So in addition ...

Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, who oversaw U.S. naval forces in the Middle East, was found dead Saturday in his residence in Bahrain, officials said. Defense officials told CBS News they are calling it an "apparent suicide." Stearney was the commander of the U.S. Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. Rear Adm. Paul Schlise, the deputy commander of the 5th Fleet, has assumed command, the Navy said in a statement.

Russia says Ukraine ships illegally entered Russian waters Tensions between Russia and Ukraine are once again soaring this weekend, with reports that Russia has seized three Ukrainian navy vessels off the coast of the Crimean Peninsula. Crimea is de facto under Russian control, but Ukraine considers it part of their territory. Earlier in the day, Ukraine accused Russian ships of ramming their tugboat in the Sea of Azov and opened fire on the gunships, injuring two. Russia claims that the Ukrainian ships were illegally in Russian waters at the time, and that the Sea was closed for security reasons. Ukraine, which has been talking up war with Russia for years, is quickly escalating, ...
Killers, drinkers & traumatized for life: What it means to be a US drone operator in ‘war on terror’

They sit in rooms resembling hi-tech shipping containers. Joysticks in hand, they spend hours watching grainy screens, displaying people in faraway lands going about their daily lives — and they hold life and death in their hands. They are the men and women who operate the United States’ controversial drone warfare program — and they frequently get it disastrously wrong. A newly-released report by the Associated Press claims that one third of people killed by US drones in Yemen this year were civilians with no association to terror groups like Al-Qaeda, the intended targets. But intention and reality often diverge sharply when it comes to death by US drones — and ...

It’s Time for America to Reckon With the Staggering Death Toll of the Post-9/11 Wars

How many people have been killed in the post-9/11 war on terror? The question is a contentious one, as there has been no formal accounting for the deadly cost of the initial U.S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the secondary conflicts that continue to wreak havoc across the Middle East and the opaque, covert war still expanding across Asia and Africa. But even as the U.S. government evades responsibility for the human cost of its overseas endeavors, some researchers are determined to keep count. Brown University’s Costs of War Project this month released a new estimate of the total death toll from the U.S. wars in three countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, and ...

Eisenhower's worst nightmare has come true, as defense mega-contractors climb into the cockpit to ensure we stay overextended. What President Dwight D. Eisenhower dubbed the “military-industrial complex” has been constantly evolving over the decades, adjusting to shifts in the economic and political system as well as international events. The result today is a “permanent-war complex,” which is now engaged in conflicts in at least eight countries across the globe, none of which are intended to be temporary. This new complex has justified its enhanced power and control over the country’s resources primarily by citing threats to U.S. security posed by Islamic ...

I’m told the former Armistice Day, co-opted by the warfare state to celebrate war rather than its absence, is not the time to remind my fellow taxpayers that no war in the past seventy years has benefited them in any way whatsoever, much less preserved what freedom they have left. I disagree. What better time than when the myth Americans are freer because of these wars is echoing from every media outlet, statehouse and social media channel to point out the harm this propaganda continues to do? No American would be less free if Washington, D.C. had abstained from invading Afghanistan, Iraq, or Africa (the invasion nobody talks about). On the contrary, they’d be freer, richer, and ...
Taliban Slaughter Elite Afghan Troops, as ‘Safe’ District Is Falling

Even reinforcements aren't keeping Ghazni district safe With the Taliban carrying out offensives against several provinces around the country at any given time, the Afghan government has been forced to prioritize who gets reinforcements. This weekend, that meant sending special forces to the Jaghori District of Ghazni. The Shi’ite dominated district was long seen as “safe.” That’s not panning out, however, as the Taliban are not only routing Shi’ite militias, but defeating the reinforcements as well, killing at least 25 commandos and continuing to advance deeper into the district. On the surface, the district is only important in that it gives the Taliban a ...

Death-by-ally: now that, by definition, is a fate from hell. You might at least imagine that such “insider attacks” – in which a member of the Afghan security forces turns his weapon on his American or NATO trainers or advisers and tries to gun them down – would be the rarest of events. After all, if you’re an armed Afghan who decides to try to kill such an ally, you have to be aware that you’re almost assuredly committing suicide. You have a moment to fire and then, in that armed environment, you’re likely to be dead. And yet those attacks, which started in 2007-2008 with four American deaths, peaked in 2012 with dozens of them, and by 2017 had resulted ...
