Newt Gingrich Intimates "HIS" War On Islam Is The New Cold War That Will Last Fifty Years. Also Intimates War is "Solution" For North Korea And Iran.
This was somewhat predictable on some level after the fall of the Soviet Union. The U.S. was left with a massive vacuum in world politics and the global power structure. Rather than retool our economy to then serve society, the military-industrial complex needed to fabricate new enemies to maintain their relevance. So now we have a military larger than the rest of the world combined and its associated secrecy and spying operations focused on stopping a few thousand radicals across the world. We are literally spending trillions of dollars to rid ourselves of gnats. Wouldn't it have been easier to just put a billion dollar price on Osama Bin Laden's head and let some enterprising persons bring him to justice? Never apply reason to a political bureaucracy. Bin Laden is not the target. A new cold war-type relevance for the military-industrial complex apparently is.
I have a new idea for Newt. Let's let him and all of these other blow-hard political war mongers who espouse this neoliberal anti-democratic preemptive war ideology lead the charge in battle. Pick up a gun Newt and lead our troops into battle. Show us your moxie and courage are as big as your mouth. I think that would just about be the end of blow hard political idiots. I thought we got rid of this stooge ages ago. Now he's talking of running for President. Hate to break it to you Newt but your ego is writing checks you lack of popularity can't cash.
Politicians have big mouths and even bigger egos. They almost never have any redeeming leadership qualities. And this is surely the case with Newt. Newt has the same problem as all other liberal politicians. Yes Newt is pure liberal. Neoconservatism is a very clear mischaracterization of the supposed far right agenda. Neoconservatism is an extremely inaccurate labeling of neoliberalism. Neoconservatives are really part of the neoliberal movement in American politics. Neoliberals want to rule as king as opposed to self-rule of a free society. They believes they are uniquely positioned to tell society how the world and our economy should be and use force or brainwashing to enforce their deluded ideas of a new neofeudal world.
How many Americans want another war with Iran and North Korea? We cannot have a policy of appeasement as it pertains to thugs whether that is Wall Street or North Korea. That said, except for a few sociopathic leaders, the people in those countries love their children as much as we do. They want a harmonious life just as we do. How does inflicting endless pain on innocent people result in peace? It doesn't. But then that isn't the objective. The objective is American hegemony. What kind of twisted mind thinks this stuff up? The neoliberal minds of people like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Newt Gingrich.
Mark my word. This is what will happen in some form if the United States starts another lengthy preemptive war of choice. And for the exact same reasons. World War I was about protecting colonialism and empire. The foot soldier in France realized they had nothing to gain by fighting wars between rich elitists. So after being sent time and again to be slaughtered in vain, soldiers refused to fight by the tens of thousands.
These neoliberal political idiots from both parties helped create radicalization around the globe as well as within the United States. (Maybe that's another post at some point.) And now they want to push their radical violent terrorist agenda even further.
Empire is simply not compatible with democracy.
