By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (WNW 280 4.21.17) North Korea made the most provocative and dangerous threat yet through the state media when it said Kim Jong-Un may order a “super-mighty preemptive strike” against South Korea and the U.S. The U.S. says it is sending an armada to deal with the provocation. China and Russia, which both border North Korea, reportedly have deployed troops there. The threat is the worst ever for the Korean Peninsula as the North now has nuclear weapons that it did not have in the Korean War in the early 1950’s. The CIA and the FBI are now looking for a “traitor” that worked on the inside that leaked intelligence to WikiLeaks. They ...

Terrorists Are Terrorists and Not Rebels in Syria by Stephen Lendman Waging war depends on disinformation, deception and Big Lies - used to justify the unjustifiable. Conflict in Syria isn’t civil. All anti-government forces are US-supported terrorists. Names of different groups don’t matter. They’re all cut out of the same cloth. Their aims are pure evil. They can’t exist without foreign support. State actors bear full responsibility for turning Syria into a charnel house. After over six years of war, hundreds of thousands are dead, mostly defenseless men, women, children, the elderly and infirm - millions internally or externally displaced. Their struggle is ...

Mattis in Israel by Stephen Lendman Meeting with his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman, Mattis delivered mixed messages. He said Iran “appear(s) to be living up to (its) part of the” 2015 nuclear deal. It remains “in force… and that’s all I can say about it.” “(I)n no way (does it) mitigate against or excuse…other Iranian activities in the region including the war in Yemen that grinds on and what they’re doing in Syria.” Fact: America continues waging aggression against both countries. Iran has no involvement in Yemen. It justifiably supports Syrian sovereign independence. So should all nations. Fact: On Tuesday, Trump lied, ...
How to Lose the Next War in the Middle East

The Short Answer: Fight it! Make no mistake: after 15 years of losing wars, spreading terror movements, and multiplying failed states across the Greater Middle East, America will fight the next versions of our ongoing wars. Not that we ever really stopped. Sure, Washington traded in George W. Bush’s expansive, almost messianic attitude toward his Global War on Terror for Barack Obama’s more precise, deliberate, even cautious approach to an unnamed version of the same war for hegemony in the Greater Middle East. Sure, in the process kitted-up 19 year-olds from Iowa became less ubiquitous features on Baghdad’s and Kabul’s busy boulevards, even if that distinction was ...

WASHINGTON -- A ranking US senator said the US should launch a preemptive strike on North Korea if that's what it takes to stop Pyongyang from building a missile capable of hitting America, even though such military action would mean war.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made the argument during an interview with NBC News, saying that war would be bad for South Korea, Japan and other countries in the region, but won't reach the US, while an intercontinental ballistic missile could do."It would be terrible but the war would be over here (there), wouldn't be here," Graham said with a gesture with his fingers. "It would be bad for the Korean Peninsula. It would be bad for ...
Carrier ‘Goof-Up’ Helped Deter North Korea - "Moved In Opposite Direction"

Retired Colonel Ralph Peters said on Fox News Wednesday that the U.S. Navy’s “goof-up” with the USS Carl Vinson strike group actually helped to deter North Korean aggression. President Trump had said last week that the Vinson was heading to the Korean peninsula, but in fact, the strike group had been heading in the opposite direction. “The odd thing is it turned out well because this ball of confusion turned into a psychological warfare tool against North Koreans,” Peters said. “It really got their attention.” Peters described how the so-called “goof-up” developed: “Admiral Harris, our commander in the Pacific issued an unclear statement. ...

Is Trump Heading for War on Iran? by Stephen Lendman Neocons infesting Washington and Israel, along with AIPAC, want pro-Western puppet governance replacing the Islamic Republic of Iran. Will hawkish Trump administration generals given warmaking authority attack the country? On January 3, ahead of his inauguration, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D.

US bombing missions over Syria are way down since the missile attack on April 6 US just made much of its strike force useless By striking the Syrian military on April 6 with cruise missiles the US demonstrated 'resolve'. So much 'resolve' that it is now afraid to fly over Syria lest the Russians shoot them down. US officials told The New York Times: The American-led task force that is battling the Islamic State has sharply reduced airstrikes against the militants in Syria as commanders assess whether Syrian government forces or their Russian allies plan to respond to the United States’ cruise missile strike on a Syrian airfield this past week, American officials ...

Trump Delegates Warmaking to Generals by Stephen Lendman Articles in the Atlantic and Wall Street Journal discussed Trump’s approach to militarism and warmaking. He’s letting hawkish generals make battlefield decisions - overseen by Defense Secretary Mattis, National Security Advisor McMaster and Joint Chiefs chairman Dunford. Last month, the Atlantic headlined “Trump and the Generals,” saying the president “is fixated on a more conspicuous form of winning.” Earlier he said “(w)e never win…(W)e don’t fight to win.” Generals always want more funding. No matter the amount budgeted, it’s not enough. Trump proposed an additional $54 ...

Why Did the US Test an Outdated Bomb in Mountains of Afghanistan?
Post Date: 2017-04-17 08:31:16 by Ada

The U.S. Military, apparently eager to test a huge out-dated bomb – anacronym “MOAB” for “Mother Of All Bombs” – dropped one for the first time in the sparsely populated mountains of Afghanistan this week. The goal was apparently to fulfill Trump’s earlier campaign promise to ~”Bomb the hell out of ISIS.” Unfortunately ISIS probably didn’t notice – or it’s members – spread out all over Asia, Africa, the Mid-East, Europe, and apparently the U.S. – were likely all shaking their heads and laughing. Why? Because, if ISIS really exists as a coherent entity, clearly the MOAB is exactly the wrong way to deal with the MOADE ...

Trump’s Rage for Warmaking by Stephen Lendman America is more recklessly belligerent than any other nation in history - at war at home and abroad perpetually from inception. A culture of violence like no other persists. The nation is permanently at war, rejects peace, risks possible nuclear denouement if the madness doesn’t stop. Trump is America’s latest warrior president, perhaps intending to outdo his predecessors, escalating Bush/Cheney/Obama wars, threatening North Korea and Iran. Are Russia and China next? Is unthinkable nuclear war likely? On Easter Sunday, he tweeted “(o)ur military is building and is rapidly becoming stronger than ever before. Frankly, we ...

The official spokesman of Russia’s Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov, has commented on media reports alleging that the US intercepted conversations within the Syrian military on preparations for a chemical attack in Khan Shaeyhun. “According to a longstanding tradition, the Pentagon always covers every violation of international law and especially any armed aggression by the US against sovereign countries with the presence of some kind of ‘indisputable’ evidence of atrocities. The more invented this pseudo-evidence is, the more ‘secret’ it is,” Konashenkov remarked. Konashenkov added that if US intelligence continues to hide its alleged evidence of ...

HONOLULU (AP) - Hawaii lawmakers want state officials to update plans for coping with a nuclear attack as North Korea develops nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that can reach the islands. The state House Public Safety Committee unanimously passed a resolution Thursday. Committee Vice Chairman Matt LoPresti says he's not trying to spread fear. But he wants the public to know the government is taking steps to protect them in the worst case scenario. He's aiming to get state funding to re-equip Cold War-era fallout shelters. The resolution that moved forward Thursday said that in 1981, Oahu had hundreds of fallout shelters -- "many stocked with medical kits, food, and ...

Korean Peninsula Brinksmanship by Stephen Lendman For a day at least, Washington and Pyongyang stepped back from the brink. The DPRK refrained from conducting an expected sixth nuclear test, likely postponed, not cancelled. Trump showed restraint by not belligerently reining on North Korea’s Day of the Sun commemorative parade, honoring its founder Kim Il-sung’s 105th birthday. All quiet on the eastern front held on Saturday, fireworks perhaps coming later at a time of Trump’s choosing. Potentially devastating Korean peninsula war threatens the entire region, catastrophic if nuclear confrontation erupts. The weekend wasn’t entirely calm. Early Sunday, the DPRK ...

Pence Heading to Seoul, Possible US Aggression on Hold by Stephen Lendman On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence heads to Seoul, part of a 10-day Asia trip to include Japan, Indonesia and Australia visits. A White House statement said he’ll “arrive in Seoul…on April 16,” return home on April 25. Trump launching aggression on North Korea risking nuclear war while his vice-president is in East Asia seems unlikely. For now, he’ll most likely continue tough talk, saber rattle off North Korea’s coastline, pressure China and impose more sanctions. What comes later remains to be seen. An unnamed White House foreign policy advisor said Pence will meet with South ...

The Times claims so-called “documents” show photos of “more than 6,000 dead at the hands of the state, many of them tortured,” adding: “Records of crimes are now so graphic, so immediate, so overwhelming…documentation…has brought little justice. The people behind the violence remain free” - falsely accusing ...
