Imperial Collapse And A License To Kill
Submitted by Dmitry Orlov via Club Orlov blog,
The story is the same every time: some nation, due to a confluence of lucky circumstances, becomes powerful—much more powerful than the rest—and, for a time, is dominant. But the lucky circumstances, which often amount to no more than a few advantageous quirks of geology, be it Welsh coal or West Texas oil, in due course come to an end. In the meantime, the erstwhile superpower becomes corrupted by its own power.
As the endgame approaches, those still nominally in charge of the collapsing empire resort to all sorts of desperate measures—all except one: they will refuse to ever consider the fact that their imperial superpower is at an end, and that they should change their ways accordingly. George Orwell once offered an excellent explanation for this phenomenon: as the imperial end-game approaches, it becomes a matter of imperial self-preservation to breed a special-purpose ruling class—one that is incapable of understanding that the end-game is approaching. Because, you see, if they had an inkling of what's going on, they wouldn't take their jobs seriously enough to keep the game going for as long as possible.
The approaching imperial collapse can be seen in the ever worsening results the empire gets for its imperial efforts.
After World War II, the US was able to do a respectable job helping to rebuild Germany, along with the rest of western Europe. Japan also did rather well under US tutelage, as did South Korea after the end of fighting on the Korean peninsula. With Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, all of which were badly damaged by the US, the results were significantly worse: Vietnam was an outright defeat, Cambodia lived through a period of genocide, while amazingly resilient Laos—the most heavily bombed country on the planet—recovered on its own.
The first Gulf War went even more badly: fearful of undertaking a ground offensive in Iraq, the US stopped short of its regular practice of toppling the government and installing a puppet regime there, and left it in limbo for a decade. When the US did eventually invade, it succeeded—after killing countless civilians and destroying much of the infrastructure—in leaving behind a dismembered corpse of a country.
Similar results have been achieved in other places where the US saw it fit to get involved: Somalia, Libya and, most recently, Yemen. Let's not even mention Afghanistan, since all empires have failed to achieve good results there. So the trend is unmistakable: whereas at its height the empire destroyed in order to rebuild the world in its own image, as it nears its end it destroys simply for the sake of destruction, leaving piles of corpses and smoldering ruins in its wake.
Another unmistakeable trend has to do with the efficacy of spending money on “defense” (which, in the case of the US, should be redefined as “offense”). Having a lavishly endowed military can sometimes lead to success, but here too something has shifted over time. The famous American can-do spirit that was evident to all during World War II, when the US dwarfed the rest of the world with its industrial might, is no more. Now, more and more, military spending itself is the goal—never mind what it achieves.
And what it achieves is the latest F-35 jet fighter that can't fly; the latest aircraft carrier that can't launch planes without destroying them if they are fitted with the auxiliary tanks they need to fly combat missions; the most technologically advanced AEGIS destroyer that can be taken out of commission by a single unarmed Russian jet carrying a basket of electronic warfare equipment, and another aircraft carrier that can be frightened out of deep water and forced to anchor by a few Russian submarines out on routine patrol.
But the Americans like their weapons, and they like handing them out as a show of support. But more often than not these weapons end up in the wrong hands: the ones they gave to Iraq are now in the hands of ISIS; the ones they gave to the Ukrainian nationalists have been sold to the Syrian government; the ones they gave to the government in Yemen is now in the hands of the Houthis who recently overthrew it. And so the efficacy of lavish military spending has dwindled too. At some point it may become more efficient to modify the US Treasury printing presses to blast bundles of US dollars in the general direction of the enemy.
With the strategy of “destroying in order to create” no longer viable, but with the blind ambition to still try to prevail everywhere in the world somehow still part of the political culture, all that remains is murder. The main tool of foreign policy becomes political assassination: be it Saddam Hussein, or Muammar Qaddafi, or Slobodan Miloševi?, or Osama bin Laden, or any number of lesser targets, the idea is to simply kill them.
While aiming for the head of an organization is a favorite technique, the general populace gets is share of murder too. How many funerals and wedding parties have been taken out by drone strikes? I don't know that anyone in the US really knows, but I am sure that those whose relatives were killed do remember, and will remember for the next few centuries at least. This tactic is generally not conducive to creating a durable peace, but it is a good tactic for perpetuating and escalating conflict. But that's now an acceptable goal, because it creates the rationale for increased military spending, making it possible to breed more chaos.
Recently a retired US general went on television to declare that what's needed to turn around the situation in the Ukraine is to simply “start killing Russians.” The Russians listened to that, marveled at his idiocy, and then went ahead and opened a criminal case against him. Now this general will be unable to travel to an ever-increasing number of countries around the world for fear of getting arrested and deported to Russia to stand trial.
This is largely a symbolic gesture, but non-symbolic non-gestures of a preventive nature are sure to follow. You see, my fellow space travelers, murder happens to be illegal. In most jurisdictions, inciting others to murder also happens to be illegal. Americans have granted themselves the license to kill without checking to see whether perhaps they might be exceeding their authority. We should expect, then, that as their power trickles away, their license to kill will be revoked, and they find themselves reclassified from global hegemons to mere murderers.
As empires collapse, they turn inward, and subject their own populations to the same ill treatment to which they subjected others. Here, America is unexceptional: the number of Americans being murdered by their own police, with minimal repercussions for those doing the killing, is quite stunning. When Americans wonder who their enemy really is, they need look no further.
But that is only the beginning: the precedent has already been set for deploying US troops on US soil. As law and order break down in more and more places, we will see more and more US troops on the streets of cities in the US, spreading death and destruction just like they did in Iraq or in Afghanistan. The last license to kill to be revoked will be the license to kill ourselves.

All we need to fix this mess is a staunch radical liberal female at the helm, who specializes in lying, fabricating evidence, murder and evading the demands of the electorate...
This, Dmitry, is masterfully written and somberly precient.

Empires can never retreat. Ever. Napolean in Russia. Hitler in Russia.
Never fight a land war in Asia.
At this moment, we're spoiling for war with both China and Russia. We had better remember what Field Marshal Montgomery said in 1962:
Rule 1, on page I of the book of war, is: "Do not march on Moscow". Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: "Do not go fighting with your land armies in China". It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives, and an army fighting there would be engulfed by what is known as the Ming Bing, the people's insurgents.
America will submit . . . you'd rebel and rally and fight against a foreign force doing this to you. But whilever it's fellow Americans holding an American flag in one hand and a billy club in the other, you'll take it. You'll submit. All this 'stacking lead' is nonsense. You'll keep taking it, and you all know it. Because in the end, you can always be convinced to love an idea. It's a pity the idea - the idea of America, the idea of freedom - is one that you haven't noticed that you longer control. And so it is used to control you. There won't be tanks in the streets . . . because they won't be needed.
I'm stacking popcorn, Bitchez......
You have no idea of the seething anger of the working class in the US. And once and for all, those here who work do not want to meddle outside the U.S.
We would like to protect our damn border and stop borrowing money to throw away in 3rd world hell holes and to subsidize ne'er-do wells.
Oh do tell of the seething anger of the working class... Are they mad their team didn't make the Stupor Bowl? Upset about just how big Kim's ass really is? Don't like the school lunches?
I'll bet that the VAST majority of "Americans" in the working class are not upset at anything and if they are, it is that they perceive the government is not giving them their fair share of the plunder.

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.nettrader2.com
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all horseshit. So I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. (If anything I can say that this cab was rare). But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'. I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 I guess, and I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'. I looked at my kingdom. . . I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
tell that to the british empire
all irrefutable as i see it. main reason i never look at a line of "market", "financial", et al content anymore. all a fraudulent morass awaiting the "conclusion". just want vengeance.

Paul Craig Roberts, in an article yesterday, explains American exceptionalism:
All the while the US and UK, Australian and Canadian, governments are committing heinous crimes against other countries in the world whose peoples, like those of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Ukraine don’t count. These peoples are disposable, unexceptional, like the Vietnamese, Laotians, Cherokees, Sioux, Apaches . . .
These peoples don’t matter. It is we Americans who matter. We are “exceptional.” We are “indispensable.”

GLOBALIST WARS KILLED OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE IN LAST DECADEMARCH 26, 2015
U.S. wars initiated at the behest of a global financial elite killed more than 2,000,000 people, according to a report published by Physicians for Social Responsibility.
This investigation comes to the conclusion that the war has, directly or indirectly, killed around 1 million people in Iraq, 220,000 in Afghanistan and 80,000 in Pakistan, i.e. a total of around 1.3 million. Not included in this figure are further war zones such as Yemen. The figure is approximately 10 times greater than that of which the public, experts and decision makers are aware of and propagated by the media and major NGOs. And this is only a conservative estimate. The total number of deaths in the three countries named above could also be in excess of 2 million, whereas a figure below 1 million is extremely unlikely.

Well, I know I'm exceptional...or is it special?
Most nations are just content to have a dictator who tells them what to do and who to kill, but in America, we have democracy, which allows entire groups...voting majorities, to decide those things. Voluntary submission to the tyranny of the majority.
Now, we had a constitution that was supposed to prevent that kind of thing, but it was decided it was far too restrictive in limiting our ability to dominate over others.
So now our struggle is not for freedom but for domination and we will use race, religion, language, nationality, politics, sex, sexual preference, the planet, the weather, the economy to do it. Its all about "special interest groups" who all clamor for political power to dominate what we do, what we say, what we buy, what we think or say.
So even though you know that main stream media is owned and controlled by TPTB, politicians and judges are own and controlled by TPTB, and everything else from corporations to PETA are controlled by TPTB you still say "voting majorities" decide things?
Who know Diebold and Company (all those mentioned above) was a voting majority?
I am APPALLED at the level of unquestioning subservience that the Australian and Canadian regimes have sunk, in their servile extensions of the Global Ziocons.
The countenance and mouths of the Aussie and Canadian PMs could not be more disgusting, if they French-kissed a rancid Caveman's rectum.
Canucks, Aussies, you should know that in the future, having your stupid flags sewn to your clothes or backpacks no longer makes you "Exceptional", but "War Crime Accomplices". Rather than Flags of Pride, your flags have become Flags of Shame.
Beautiful! Yahoo is a caveman 's ass
If you're surprised you need to read up on your history. Australia was the #1 pusher for the creation of the state of Israel. We were the last bastion of London defense in the face of the Japanese in WW2, and that we fought so bloody hard to protect places like Singapore have not gone unnoticed. It's little wonder so many of our PMs have been Rhodes Scholars, or that they've all graduated from politics into the Australian arm of the global octopus that is Macquarie Bank.
The US rebelled against London, and the citizen therein are being punished to this day for it. But Australia and Canada? We are the tribe.
In 1970-71, I had a small flag sewed onto my back-pack. I was young and proud of my country then. So much has changed. It's probably not that safe to travel in many parts of the world now if English is your only language. We can thank the idiocy of our bought governments and those that benefit from their services for that.
USSA, along with their Zionist controllers, will exercise The Samson Option before admitting defeat.
i don't feel sorry for usa citizens at all. stupid assholes mostly. they have it coming in spades. to the rest of the world my apologies. we are experimenting techmicological differences. [/idiocracy]
A little harsh there Buzz, I don't consider myself one of the holes. Sadly I can't dissagree with your assertion.
i am prepared to suffer with them when the inevitable comes. there is no way this shit can continue. the way things are now is an affront to nature and logic and any kind of physical sense.
We have it coming in spades. ..we allowed what we have become. ..perhaps once upon a time folks believed in the idea of justice and a democratic republic up to the last full devotion. How we have squandered our good fortune.
Have it coming in spades ?
Ask the average American if they would give up t.v. for 3 months to study real US history and the Constitution.
I bet they would look at you dumb founded - as though you had three heads
Yeah, the azzhats have it coming.
You are lumping all of Americans in one group.
Half the country despises both parties who have squandered our children's blood and treasure. We know our country's history and understand the Constitution and just want to live without big brother breathing down our neck. If only, there was some where to go to escape this land of bread and circuses, but I fear we have become like Rome.
Half the country seems to be an extremely optimistic number.
I wish it were so. Such numbers would not tolerate socialist healthcare, being spied upon, militarized police, and constant wars. Half the nation wouldn't send their kids to 'schools' which are nothing but propagandists and dumb kids down.
One has to be grounded in reality, in what actually Is and Is Not.
It is true that now American college kids are unable to answer questions about who won the Civil War or the name of the country America fought for their freedom. But prior to progressive liberal education, they could. They also loved their country before they were taught not to.
If this country turns on itself, the survivors with smarts, skills, and a work ethic will set this house in order. Elitist and progressives who don't stack gold, silver, and that other precious metal, lead, will not.
Who started 'progressive liberal education' ?
Prussia
Unlike squandered wealth, squandered Liberty can be taken back and Restored.
As Jefferson said, "it is their right, it is their duty..."
The banksters need to repay us.
A Revolution begins with the first "no"--The first refusal of "consent."
Nearly half of Americans have voted against this administration and are sick of the excesses that come of not minding our own business on the world stage. And the same group would like nothing more than secession.
About 19% voted for Ross Perot, the last third party candidate with a meaningful backing. So I would put the number of voters who don't buy the propaganda of the major parties at about 20%. But that was 25 years ago and I am afraid the number of less dependent voters has declined.
Q~ciferians!
"Here, America is unexceptional: the number of Americans being murdered by their own police, with minimal repercussions for those doing the killing, is quite stunning."
I shudder to think (the level we will have devolved to) when the day happens that common Americans fight back the same way as the hapless civilians-cum-resistance-fighters in MENA, and they use IEDs. It's not as though the US lacks military personnel with wartime experience from Iraq or Afghanistan, where they may have picked up these skills.
I hope this does NOT happen, but would not be surprised if it did, after some over-reach of authority and egregious act of violence by the LEAs. That's my guess.
Very astute comment.
I would add that all Americans should watch "American Sniper" as a documentary of what is sometime soon coming to America, and Americans.
Iraq and Afghanistan were only practice.
The banksters need to repay us.
To understand "police brutality," one needs to remember that theft is violence.
The police are not killing anyone who is at work. Get out of the crime infested cities and off the dole and you will never see police.
No, you will also find them protecting small towns from speeders while filling the local coffers, and protecting people from drugs by searching the cars they stop for drugs, cash, weapons, possibly stolen or counterfeit goods.

"the ones they gave to the Ukrainian nationalists have been sold to the Syrian government"
i learned about this from ukrainian side via word of mouth, but it seams it's old news
layman_please Tue, 02/24/2015 - 19:14 | 5824322
about a week ago some sources in ukraine were reporting that ukraine has started to mediate US weapon transfers to ... wait for it... assad. one can't make this shit up.
furthermore, there are even documents:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/where-will-the-us-lethal-weapons-for-ukrain...
One juicy tidbit - the money obtained from selling arms to Syria ended up in personal accounts belonging to Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
LOL, next time just print them the dollars, though, i know, that would defeat the purpose of being such a failure.
Well goddamnit when can we start roundin em up and begin arresting them? We're still waiting. My idea is that once the money's gone one of the oligarchs will fund the machine that enforces the constitution again as a means to take down the opposition, banksters, neocons, treasonous politicians and the like not because that is what should be done but because it makes the best business sense and is also the path of least resistance.
We will come rejoicing bringing in the thieves.
We will meet with irretrievable national ruin. Few realize that not merely a downturn or depression will be our lot, that ruin is fast approaching, the worst time of trouble that has ever been since there was a nation; it will be short but terrible. The result of national apostasy from the heritage and liberties bequeathed to us by divine providence. The authorities are making laws that restrict religious liberty. They assume the right that is God's alone. They think they can force the conscience, which God alone should control. This work they will continue to carry forward till they reach a boundary over which they cannot step. God will interpose in behalf of those that are His. Revelation 18 will be fulfilled to the very letter.
Zzzzzzz.... Russian propaganda.
You debunked something?
Fantasy has its own merits.
Maybe time to admit (big effort I know) that some stuff can not be covered up.
While I appreciate the article, and the info conveyed in same, our time, our era, is quite different than most that have come before.
We are living through the collapse of not a nation, or an empire, but a dominion. A dominion of interlocking corporations, banks, and governments for the benefit of a nearly invisible few on top. All fueled by printed fiat/money.
The interlocking parts of this dominion are coming unwound and disconnected. They have become adrift to randomly merge or smash into each other. Of course this unraveling is undermining the flow of lucre to the top.
Ultimately those on top will try to preserve their incomes and wealth not from continued theft from their dominion's production, but from its destruction, war.
War serves, amongst other things, to lower the number of mouths competing for the now more limited production. This is also one of the reasons for the "Climate Change" and "Peak Oil" propaganda--make us partners in our own demise.
War is a racket, but war can also serve as reboot for those that benefit.
So the bigger question is: Are we rebooted, or are they booted?
The banksters need to repay us.
The dominion's name? Zion.
"The dominion's name? Zion."
You're oversimplifying. I fully agree with you that the zionist wing are complete assholes and that they aim for world domination. That is the logical endpoint of their philosophy. Mind you, that is not Judaism, that is Zionism. Two related but fundamentally separate philosophies. So, I will not argue with you that the zionists need to be brought to light and eliminated from public discourse. Fine.
BUT I don't believe they hold much sway in other parts of the world, whereas what you describe (nicely) as a "dominion" still is active almost everywhere. What about the places where it exists in the absence of the zionists?
The most notable example is China, and China is most definitely a big part of the "dominion" you are describing. The Chinese government is playing the same government/corporate BS game as we are, and they are leaving significant amounts of raw destruction in their wake. They have not yet caused the level of destruction of the US, that is true; but they are just getting rolling. They've got the hypocrisy thing down pat, just like those they modeled themselves after, but they are not under the power of the zionists; in fact, I'm guessing they look on them with scorn.
So yes, you are absolutely right that this is a new model that we are facing globally that no one has ever before tried to unseat. A huge challenge. But the zionists are not the only ones who need to be dealt with. This model is widespread and goes under many guises...
The main point is that the enemy is not just within, but also without.
The banksters need to repay us.
The hens must leave our duck pond.
You clearly haven't heard of Mordechai Tzu Chian, Bank Of China Director?
Of course the eventual target of Uncle Sugar will be his own nephews and nieces. Gas chambers and FEMA camps? How 1943. There are easier ways to kill on an industrial scale. The real target of all those nukes are major cities in American states that might try to secede.
But even Uncle Sugar is just one satrapy in the global bankster empire. When older empires collapsed, life went on in the rest of the world. When this one collapses under its own weight, there will be nowhere to hide.
We're all riding this tiger. Don't count on getting off alive.
Niall, When the world signed on to a global economy, that put all of us in the same leaky boat. You are exactly right about all of us riding the tiger and we dare not get off.
This russian scumbag has the balls to complain about the USA while that gangster megalomaniac putin and his horde of little green men are invading and annexing neighboring nations like the borg - go back to russia and publish this kind of propaganda against your putin tzar, and get a good life insurance policy !
If the Russians were actively advocating, promoting, financing, and ramping up military capabilities in Mexico and/or Canada I'd be fucking pissed. That's not happening at all though, is it?
Actually it's the opposite, and the reason you or anyone else can't come up with any argument at all to refute this is because there isn't any.
The cult of fantasy and denial of reality is imperium among 'americans'.
You are obviously an olympic class moron and failure, you have earned nothing, achieved nothing, built nothing, contributed nothing, and blame the successful for your own incompetence and failure. You are a waste of resources and should be recycled.
More fantasy from an 'american'. Should anyone be surprised by that?
More whining and blaming the successful for his own incompetence and failure - Should anyone be surprised by that?
Hey fucktwit, how about shoving off for parts unknown. Scram. And we don't need any postcards.
Fuck me Prober, I though you were still on your knees sucking faggot monkey jizz from the queer cunt in the Whitehouse and squatting on Pyatts cock and rimming Nulands filthy ring piece to have time to scribble your fucking shite here too.
What a fucking versatile cunt you are. Just goes to show what a true ass licker can achieve when he gets down and dirty
Give him a break. It's tough out there. Even tougher when your stupid.
Hedgemon, pokemon, blah,blah,blah.
for all the kind of shitty repetitive orlov short articles i've read, this one was actually one of the gbest and well written.
"The oft repeated predictions of our imminent demise are hardly a recent practice amongst our detractors from within or abroad."
The EMALS, Electromagnetic Launch System, will be featured on the USS Gerald R. Ford, CVN-78, that has not yet been commissioned. It's the first aircraft carrier in a new series of aircraft carriers incorporating significant electromagnetic technological advances, versus the preceding class, with significantly increased electrical generation and distribution capacity with ample provisions for significant additions of future electromagnetic technology.
EMALS is a significant advance over the traditional steam-driven catapult that operates in a "bang-bang" open-loop mode, that is, without a negative-feedback, closed-loop control system. EMALS, a linear electrical motor, is controlled by a negative-feedback closed-loop control system, with launch load scalable from small remotely piloted vehicles to the largest, heaviest carrier capable-aircraft, a capability that the steam catapult could not offer.
The EMALS control system characteristics, tailored for specific aircraft and mission configurations, are software-based. The closed-loop, negative-feedback control offers levels of precise launch control the steam cat could never remotely approach.
There are a large number of F-35's flying with U. S. forces. It is quite easy for those predisposed to be anti-U. S. military, especially those with an axe to grind, that is, either gaining monetarily or prestige amongst overall anti-U. S. military nattering nitwits, to offer simple-minded critiques of very complex developmental programs.
Much the same being said about the F-35 was also said of the first F/A-18 fighter/attack aircraft. Yet, now the F/A-18C, D and the F/A-18E, F Super Hornets forms the backbone of U. S. Naval carrier aviation and U. S. Marine fighter and ground support aircraft.
Do they cost too much? Yes. Though that's hardly a new development. What about the F-35's reliance on a single engine? Defects can not be permitted to creep into the engine program, it's spares pipeline. Because anything affecting engine reliability endangers pilots and pose Class I mishap risks (complete loss of aircraft).
Making the F-35 a twin-engine design would have greatly increased aircraft costs and costs of engine spares, as well as increasing aircraft size, wing area, fuel tank volume, mass (weight) and added to pilot workload.
The bottom line is that it's easy for the poorly informed person, or too lazy to research and verify his rationale, to throw darts at targets he either doesn't understand or based on the poorly informed opinions of others. Example? The USS Gerald R. Ford is still sitting in its outfitters dry dock. That's hardly where its first carrier air wing will 'trap' aboard, much less, steam into the wind to launch aircraft.
"Americans have granted themselves the license to kill without checking to see whether perhaps they might be exceeding their authority." - HOW TRUE! Not to mention that the U.S. now carries on like, unlike every previous nation, it will not have to answer to God or that there is not a cup of iniquity that it does not have to be concerned about filling to the brim and finally hearing the judgment of heaven, "Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting, thy kingdom is departed from thee." There is every indication that the United States is now in its final days and that, as with Babylon before it, she will reap what she has sown, and receive sentence of the divine Watcher: O king, "to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee." Daniel 4:31. We have sunk so low that we now murder people in foreign lands to defend our dollar.
"Simply start killing Russians"
Put him on the list
JOKER says to upset the established order.
A word from an European: The USA will not, hopefully, end as a Country. With some luck it will only grow up as a Nation (not as an empire) and last, as a Nation, for Centuries. The important thing is that lessons must be learned and defeat must be transformed in victory. Others did it. I dont see why Americans couldnt.
article by a left wing libtard who dislike amerika... so fucking what..... wrong on several points.
misunderstanding the reasons for going to war... viet nam = the oil in the gulf of tonkin and the protection of the straits of malacca for oil transport..... iraq = because saddam had a contract on bush the elder and kuwait pissed off saddam because they wanted the money they lent him to fight iran paid back... so he raped kuwait.. then bush the elder let the un limit the ussa action to strictly pushing iraq out of kuwait.. oh and $30 million changed hands from the sabah kuwait royal family to a bush associate ...the ussa knew right then that they could take iraq in a week or two and did the second time around.. then shit for brains obumbler pulls out with no status of forces agreement and we see the result.. afghanistan... well we did help create train arm and unleash the taliban with the isi as well as create obl whcih like the tsarnoff bros blew back in the face of the ussa.... the double agent syndrome.. and we are now funding and arming isis and simultaneously giving iran a nuke..and we waqnt iran to rid the world of isis. that ought to end well with dc and nyc in fallout.... and armageddon in the middle east... well played ...
so under the obumbler the ussa has fucked all its allies, thinks it can negotiate with crazy people and thinks climate and deals with china and iran are real and top priority...we trade 5 al queda for a traitor and not good enough we in addition as part of the deal give $5 billion to isis via qatar... meantime russia is arming and upgrading its icbm's, china is doing the same and obumbler has reduced the military capability to ww1 levels .... sends an oh so french horsefaced man to give it all away to seal his legacy as a failure, a traitor and a fool... but on the other hand he did succeed extraordinarily becasue his true mission was to take down the ussa...
Isn't exceptional also used in American special education classes?
