Europe's Delusion With the United States Continues

The reaction to the NSS doc shows that many Europeans still need to wake up from the post-war dream of the USA as their political and economic friend. It was always a delusion.

When the latest US National Security Strategy document came out, many analysts in Europe saw this as a confirmation that the US under the Trump administration is concerned about Europe, wants to support Europe, and selfishly wants Europe to succeed. Regardless of whether this NSS will represent US foreign policy and whether this NSS will actually be implemented, both of which are far for certain, this view of Washington from Europe must be cynically and clearly debunked.

Western Political Lies Signal The End of an Era

The previous article highlighted the incredible amount of lies and falsehoods that Western politicians are spewing on a daily basis nowadays. Unfortunately, it seems to be a sign of the times, in the sense that the prevailing post-modernism makes lying more acceptable generally.

But there is a political side to this recent surge in mendacity in the high political spheres of the West, which needs to be explored as well.

The First Cause of Modern War is the Modern State

Human conflict is an intrinsic part of human nature; it is as natural as tears. As Leo Strauss wrote, in modern society “the original conflict between moral demands and desires remains intact”. Individuals and their various enterprises often have conflictual relations between each other. These can take many forms and are often non-violent.

US Foreign Policy Is Like a Mafia Racket

It’s time to call a spade a spade. Australian independent Journalist Caitlin johnstone recently wrote an important truth:

"The US empire is responsible for most of our world’s problems. It says so much about the strength of the imperial propaganda machine that this isn’t more obvious to more people."

Because of this propaganda that Western audiences have been subjected to for so long, here is a reminder of numbers that speak for themselves:

"America has been in 19 wars since World War II, but we will list the death toll from three of the bloodiest conflicts: The Korean War, The Vietnam War and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The total death toll of people killed by American troops in all these wars put together is over 12 million."
