Warmongers Of The World, Unite!

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While most have greeted Obama's latest military incursion into Iraq with a healthy dose of skepticism - because after all Obama is merely the fourth president in a row to bomb Iraq - Obama's ideological brother, French socialist president Hollande, had some strong words of encouragement:

  • *HOLLANDE SAYS FRANCE IS READY TO DO ITS PART IN IRAQ

Surrender?

In addition Hollande added:

  • *FRANCE CALLS ON EU TO PLAY AN 'ACTIVE ROLE' IN IRAQ SITUATION
  • *HOLLANDE WELCOMES OBAMA DECISION TO ACT AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE

Nothing like sharing the burden...

As Bloomberg reports,

French President Francois Hollande said in a statement that France is going to work with the U.S. and its partners to study what actions can be taken jointly to provide humanitarian aid to the civilian populations and displaced people in Iraq.

 

France is calling on an intensification of international mobilization in Iraq: Hollande

 

France plans to take its request to the Security Council: Hollande

 

The president has called on the European Union to very rapidly play an “active role” to put in place all the necessary measures to respond to the “catastrophic situation”: Hollande

 

Hollande said he welcomes President Barack Obama’s decision to authorize targeted air strikes against the Islamic state in Iraq: Hollande.

US military aircraft have conducted an airstrike on artillery used by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). Rear Admiral John Kirby said the attack took place to help defend Kurdish forces near Erbil, Iraq.

There is a difference.  Neocon implies conservative to what is really a socialist in the republican party, there's nothing conservative about them, in fact they hate conservatives even more than the democrats do.  Therefore anyone who blames neocons and not progressives/socialists can be discounted as being full of shit.

Progressives and Neo-cons (from a foreign policy standpoint) --

 

What they have in common is an amoral approach to imposing their "moralities" on unwilling subjects by any means.  Draconian economic sanctions, assassinations, torture, Predator drones, no-fly zones, even the threat of nuclear bombing -- all these are actions that are acceptable.  When presented with the destruction and chaos that follows their actions >>

Being a Neo-con means never having to say you're sorry.  Hooray for our side.  It was the other guy's fault.

Being a Progressive means never having to say you're sorry.  Hooray for our side.  It was the other guy's fault.

In fact this ugly disdain and pitiful jokes come from the firm refusal of the French to join America in Irak, in 2003.

Since France refused to go to Iraq, American warmongers and neo-cons made French army look like cowards – as a punishment.

But History has proved the French were right, and that the WMD were only a dirty trick to serve as a pretext.

Nevertheless, the hate of american warmongers against France remains still there, well alive, even in ZH.

This stale hate still shows through "innocent good jokes" about the “surrender monkeys” and their white flag … As for the rest, the French can be proud of their Military History which remains despite these stupid jokes by far the best military record in Europe.

Obummer and Swift Boater Kerry should have ignored the sideshow Netanyahu put on in Gaza to divert attention away from ISIS's plan to take over Iraqi oil fields.  Netanyahu will get his payoff from Kissinger and his NWO friends.  There is no way to slow down ISIS without American boots on the ground.  Thanks to ISIS, we may see American special forces working with Iranian QUDS forces and Hezbollah to try to exterminate ISIS.  The phrase that will be used a lot if that happens is that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

This ( as I said weeks ago would come ) is a TOKEN effort to try to prove they care about stopping ISIS (their allies). In my opinion, the main focus they will have is making sure there are no MASSIVE calamities, and then beyond that protecting kurdistan ( the able hand maidens of occupied palestine ).

Fun fact of the day: 

While wars were being fought by the Americans and Europeans in Iraq and spending more money (by debt creation, no less) on useless activity, Russia was getting antagonised by NATO amid US/EU sanctions, Middle East was burning like in hell, Ebola was being spread around Africa and beyond....

 Through all this, China was calmly busy buying parts of Italy:

China has bought the following within the last few weeks in Italy alone:

2% of Generali

2% of Fiat

2% of Telecom Italia

2% of world's larger cable maker, Prysmian

In March they had bought:

2% in Eni, the oil giant

2% in utility giant Enel.

As they would say before leaving back for China.....Thank you for the opportunity.....Xie Xie wei Jihui 

Not that the friendly Chinese forgot USA in any way, they also bought a land valued at a billion or two (price not released) in no other place but the Hollywood and will spend additional USD 1.2bn to build it. This was done by the same Chinese billionaire who already owns the entire AMC movie theatre chain in USA. Yes, that's right, the more movies Americans watch, the more money goes to China!

China developer buys Robinsons-May site in Beverly Hills

By the way, the Chinese also bought this week an oil company with operations in UK, Malaysia and Australia.

China's Fosun buys Australia's Roc Oil for $441m

People's Bank of China owns 2 pct of Italy's Generali

How I wish the Americans and Europeans had real money like the Chinese do -instead of debt- and they also could have helped the Africans, Latin Americans, Russians and the Middle Easterners grow in peaceful co-existence by buying their oil and other goods, but no, all they want is to take various countries back to the Stone ages and no one gets the oil in the end, unless you are a smart Chinese who already owns the entire supply chain of the resources from the mines/oil wells, to the drilling contracts to the workers, to the shipping company, to the port to the end user and best of it all, has the dollars, oops, yuan to pay it in and get rid of the US Treasury bonds in one go (must be a wet dream come true of a Chinese genius)!

The French lost Dien Bien Phu because they were screwed by NATO (ie. the US).

They had to specialize in jets while others in Europe had to specialize in bombers.

And when it came to fight Communism (the Viet Cong, massively helped by Soviet Union and China's troops) ... guess what... the US refused the NATO to get involved.

They had to fight the war without bombers, as in 1954 they had very few of these kind of planes.

Another nice lesson from a long list for French morons who believe America is a reliable ally, and even a friend of France. For those who should have any doubt, the reading of French-bashing in ZH is instructive enough …

And guess what... who had to fight the Vietnam war after the US sabotaged French effort  ?

Besides that, in 1954, when the French were finally defeated in Vietnam, they had 50,000 troops and their biggest planes were Douglas A26 and C47’s, and Vought Corsairs.

When the US was defeated by the same enemy some twenty years later, they had 550,000 troops, B52’s, napalm, missiles, big helicopters, the works …

ISIS almost certainly has the backing of one or more state actors.  I think you'd believe Saudi money fairly easily.  Turkish arms.  But it is unlikely that CIA and/or Mossad are not involved.

 

You can keep holding your breath waiting for Al Qaeda or "ISIS" to attack Israel  {with something more than a token errant shell landing in no man's land}.

Without waiting for the result of negotiations, the president of the Jewish Agency, David Ben Gurion unilaterally proclaimed the State of Israel immediately recognized by the United States. Arabs in Israeli territory were placed under martial law, their movements were restricted, their passports confiscated. Newly independent Arab countries intervened. But without having constituted armies??, they were quickly defeated. During the war, Israel proceeded to ethnic cleansing and forced at least 700,000 Arabs to flee.

 

The UN sent a mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during the war. He found that the demographic data provided by the UK authorities were false and demanded the full implementation of the Partition Plan for Palestine. However, Resolution 181 requires the return of 700 000 expelled Arabs, the creation of an Arab state and the internationalization of Jerusalem.

 

The UN special envoy was murdered, 17 September 1948, on the orders of the future Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

Hamas is MOSSAD-CIA front group. Most of the Hamas leaders are really Jewish that is why they rarely get killed but thousands of civilians in Gaza do.

France should worry about itself a bit more. Their history in Iraq ain't exactly great either and things aren't well at home. Remember how the banlieue was on fire every summer?...yeah. Things aren't looking great economically either, vast stretches of that country are economic wasteland. Thousands of villages with just old people and a supermarket.

They take even more antidepressants than zee Americans apparently.

Wait wait wait. Wasn't it the French who were among the most skeptical about the previous Iraq adventure and made it clear they wouldn't join under any circumstances? And now they're practically begging Obama to let them join. Weird people, to say the least.

Remember also how much hate FRANCE got in the US for NOT wanting to contribute in this dirty Irak war.

The whole dumbass "LIBERTY FRIES", the TV news showing proud Americans pouring French wines in the gutter, the “cheese-eating surrender MONKEYS” things – all kind of silly jokes still continuing, even in ZH …. Five years of Anti-French slander and vilification was thus thrust by the White House, the administration, members of Congress, governors and by lackeys in the media (like Fox News or Murdoch Press).

wouldnt it be nice if Americans understood that hyperinterventionism is worse than "isolatonism"?

The American Deep State continues to make war on the entire world, but the rest of the world sees only "America."

~~~

Of course, both bin Laden and Khalid Mohammad specifically and repeatedly cited America's blind support of Israel and its occupation/settlement building as one of the top few motivating factors for 9/11 - but in America, you can discuss bin Laden all you like, but you can't mention what he said motivated him.

Cute.

Thre is no ZOG.

I read that new French warships have glass bottoms so they can look at the old French warships . . . .

The French stole the design from the Spanish. They build boats like that to look at the Spanish Armada.

Good jokes, but happily for the US,  at the battle of the Chesapeake, also known as the battle of the Virginia Capes,  the Comte de Grasse defeated the British fleet and prevented the Royal Navy from reinforcing or evacuating the blockaded forces of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown.

The result was the reinforcement of the American army with siege artillery and French troops - all of which proved decisive in the Siege of Yorktown, effectively securing American independence.

At this decisive battle, Lafayette was with the insurgents and more than half of the fighting troops were French - led by the Comte de Rochambeau.

Wait an F'n minute. If the Caliphate gets its weapons to fight from the NATO countries and the NATO countries are going to bomb the Caliphate wouldn't it be easier to stop supplying the Caliphate with F'n weapons. Or is the whole thing a scam to rip off white people.

Pacifists of the world, unite! Let's all sit around the campfire eating s'mores and singing "Imagine" while the warmongers do their evil deeds. When they're done, they can come shove their dicks in us because we're too pussy to fight. We may be sore afterwards, but we'll still have our smug moral superiority!
