Radical ideas on war -- radically true!


Here comes another piercing, great commentary on ameriKa's aggressions and bellicosity over the centuries.

Militarist Bunkum

Nobody tells it like Paul Craig Roberts, and here he gives some personal touches. I think he's implying approval of Russia's gobbling of Ukraine's right flank, and I certainly don't go along with that -- but the article is too full of daring, socially improper truisms to argue about it just now.

The best of these is his point-blank statement after summing up our bloody record that

    Not a single one of these wars and military operations had anything whatsoever to do with defending the US population from foreign threats.
    Not even Japan and Germany posed a threat to the US. Neither country had any prospect of invading the US and neither country had any such war plans.

Let me guess: some of you are not excited to hear that even our glorious barging into the middle of World War II was unnecessary in the light of the Constitution. In the opinion of many patriots in the know, our involvement there was not only redundant but extremely damaging to civilization and beneficial to Soviet communism.

We have to deal in basic realities. It's the only thing that works. Prove me wrong, somebody -- please!

I don't want to be controversial! I want to be conventional!
