Is Washington Preparing For World War III?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Patrick Martin via WSWS.org,

The US military-intelligence complex is engaged in systematic preparations for World War III. As far as the Pentagon is concerned, a military conflict with China and/or Russia is inevitable, and this prospect has become the driving force of its tactical and strategic planning.

Three congressional hearings Tuesday demonstrated this reality. In the morning, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a lengthy hearing on cyberwarfare. In the afternoon, a subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee discussed the present size and deployment of the US fleet of aircraft carriers, while another subcommittee of the same panel discussed the modernization of US nuclear weapons.

We will provide a more detailed account of these hearings, which were attended by a WSWS reporter. But certain preliminary observations can be made.

None of the hearings discussed the broader implications of the US preparations for war, or what a major war between nuclear-armed powers would mean for the survival of the human race, and even of life on our planet. On the contrary, the hearings were examples of what might be called the routinization of World War III. A US war with China and/or Russia was taken as given, and the testimony of witnesses and questions from senators and representatives, Democrats and Republicans alike, concerned the best methods for prevailing in such a conflict.

The hearings were component parts of an ongoing process. The witnesses referred to their past writings and statements. The senators and representatives referred to previous testimony by other witnesses. In other words, the preparations for world war, using cyber weapons, aircraft carriers, bombers, missiles and the rest of a vast array of weaponry, have been under way for a protracted period of time. They are not a response to recent events, whether in the South China Sea, Ukraine, Syria or anywhere else.

Each of the hearings presumed a major US conflict with another great power (sometimes unnamed, sometimes explicitly designated as China or Russia) within a relatively short time frame, years rather than decades. The danger of terrorism, hyped incessantly for the purposes of stampeding public opinion, was downplayed and to some extent discounted. At one point in the Senate hearing on cyberwarfare, in response to a direct question from Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the panel witnesses all declared that their greatest concern was nation-states, not terrorists.

One of the witnesses at that hearing was Dr. Peter W. Singer, listed as a “Strategist and Senior Fellow” for New America, a Washington think tank. He titled his presentation, “The Lessons of World War 3.” He began his prepared statement with the following description of that imagined conflict:

“US and Chinese warships battle at sea, firing everything from cannons to cruise missiles to lasers. Stealthy Russian and American fighter jets dogfight in the air, with robotic drones flying as their wingmen. Hackers in Shanghai and Silicon Valley duel in digital playgrounds. And fights in outer space decide who wins below on Earth. Are these scenes from a novel or what could actually take place in the real world the day after tomorrow? The answer is both.”

None of the hearings saw any debate about either the likelihood of a major war or the necessity of winning that war. No one challenged the assumption that “victory” in a world war between nuclear-armed powers is a meaningful concept. The discussion was entirely devoted to what technologies, assets and human resources were required for the US military to prevail.

This was just as true for the Democratic senators and representatives as for their Republican counterparts. By custom, the two parties are seated on opposite sides of the committee or subcommittee chairmen. Without that arrangement, there would be no way of detecting, from their questions and expressions of opinion, which party they belonged to.

Contrary to the media portrayal of Washington as deeply divided between parties with intransigently opposed political outlooks, there was bipartisan agreement on this most fundamental of issues, the preparation of a new imperialist world war.

The unanimity of the political representatives of big business by no means suggests that there are no obstacles in the path of this drive to war. Each of the hearings grappled, in different ways, with the profound crisis confronting American imperialism. This crisis has two major components: the declining economic power of the United States compared to its major rivals, and the internal contradictions of American society, with the deepening alienation of the working class and particularly the youth.

At the House subcommittee hearing on aircraft carriers, the chairman noted that one of the witnesses, a top Navy admiral, had expressed concern over having “an 11-carrier navy in a 15-carrier world.” There were so many challenges confronting Washington, he continued, that what was really needed was a navy of 21 aircraft carriers—double the present size, and one that would bankrupt even a country with far more resources than the United States.

The Senate hearing on cybersecurity touched briefly on the internal challenge to American militarism. The lead witness, retired Gen. Keith Alexander, former director of the National Security Agency and former head of the Pentagon’s CyberCommand, bemoaned the effect of leaks by NSA contractor Edward Snowden and Army private Chelsea Manning, declaring that “insider attacks” were one of the most serious threats facing the US military.

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia asked him directly, referring to Snowden, “Should we treat him as a traitor?” Alexander responded, “He should be treated as a traitor and tried as such.” Manchin nodded heartily, in evident agreement.

While the witnesses and senators chose to use the names of Snowden and Manning to personify the “enemy within,” they were clearly conscious that the domestic opposition to war is far broader than a few individual whistleblowers.

This is not a matter simply of the deep-seated revulsion among working people in response to 14 years of bloody imperialist interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Yemen and across North Africa, important as that is.

A war between the United States and a major power like China or Russia, even if it were possible to prevent its escalation into an all-out nuclear exchange, would involve a colossal mobilization of the resources of American society, both economic and human. It would mean further dramatic reductions in the living standards of the American people, combined with a huge blood toll that would inevitably fall mainly on the children of the working class.

Ever since the Vietnam War, the US military has operated as an all-volunteer force, avoiding conscription, which provoked widespread opposition and direct defiance in the 1960s and early 1970s. A non-nuclear war with China or Russia would mean the restoration of the draft and bring the human cost of war home to every family in America.

Under those conditions, no matter how great the buildup of police powers and the resort to repressive measures against antiwar sentiments, the stability of American society would be put to the test. The US ruling elite is deeply afraid of the political consequences. And it should be.

No draft.

 

US command remembers fragging of Vietnam, & doesn't want a repeat. 1000+ incidents, many more unreported, records started in '69. MSM avoids this like the FED's owners (Rothschilds).

 

"in May 1971, the U.S. Army in Vietnam temporarily halted the issuance of grenades to nearly all its units and soldiers in Vietnam, inventoried stocks of weapons, and searched soldier's quarters, confiscating weapons, ammunition, grenades, and knives. This action, however, failed to reduce fragging incidents as soldiers could easily obtain weapons in a flourishing black market among nearby Vietnamese communities."

DeadFred, WW1 was being planned by psychopathic central bankers and their political concubines at the end of the 19th century. Everything was in place by summer of 1914, and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the trigger. All the dominoes fell one after the other, millions were wiped off the Earth, and the world map was redrawn.

As soon as the smoke cleared in 1918 the same psychopaths went to work planning for the next big bloodletting to finish up loose ends from the first one. The only difference between then and now is that technology is widely available, so the psychos do not have the benefit of complete secrecy and indeed get busted on a regular basis.

The question is why the media insists upon carrying the water for the warmongers even as they plan conflagration against the will of Americans.

What's funny is these neoconservatives and neoprogressives probably actually think that war was unavoidable and that they can win. They're retarded.

Right now, the U.S. is about as prepared for a world war as an imaginary U.S. would have been before WW2 if it had no steel industry and no manufacturing industry. How can I say this? Because war is no longer won with steel and explosives, it's won with technology. And all the microchip foundries have left the U.S.... we have no technology manufacturing in the U.S. anymore. Picking a real fight against a real enemy right now is like starting a shooting war with a well-armed neighbor after you gave away all your gunpowder. Just about grade-A retarded.

The answer is always complicated, but dominant themes are resource scarcity and competition for CONTROL among cartels dominated by manipulative psychopaths.

I don't think there will be a war in the sense that the abovementioned aging "Brass" conceive it, though it will not be for their lack of trying.  We are fortunate that many of those penis-envious old warhawks and those who manipulate them from behind are nearing the end of their lives and will soon be pushing up daisies.  The internet has unlocked ideas previously kept hidden, like the fact that all wars are bankster wars, artificial contrivances, exercises in mass manipulation.  We may see continued fertilization of bogeymen like Al Qaeda and ISIS and Global Warming and foreign-funded color revolution insurgencies like in Kiev, and Proxy War may become more violent and eventually move closer to home, always to serve political expedients, but the most important war is the war of ideas, and that war is already lost. The proverbial cat is out of the bag. 'False Flag' is a common household term. The real enemy to be defeated is the one who stages this shit.  Moral high ground goes to those who restore accountability and refuse to play the old games.

I like the cut of your jib, Lore. Political Ponerology is a book that is SO important that I have often considered buying a bunch of copies and forcing people to read them at gunpoint, if only to drive the point home (but obviously - sarcasm here, folks). That book would not exist today if it weren't for the work of Laura Knight-Jadzyck, who was putting out info on psychopaths and the dude who wrote that book and was sitting on it read her material, and responded to her - and she made it happen. Thanks for the link; it is VERY important, especially at this time in our history.

Aircraft carriers, indeed surface ships, are relics, sitting ducks, target practice.  Can this admiral be retired?

A non-nuclear war with China or Russia would mean the restoration of the draft and bring the human cost of war home to every family in America.

So an all out land war in Asia?  Paging Douglas MacArthur.....

He wasn't just an Ex Putin aide.

He was a big russian political figure and mass media expert credited with inspiring the creation of Russia Today.. Lesin, a former press minister and ex-head of Gazprom-Media,

 

Lesin believed in making Russian views heard at the international level. “It’s been a long time since I was scared by the word propaganda,” Lesin said back in 2007. “We need to promote Russia internationally. Otherwise, we’d just look like roaring bears on the prowl.”

They are doing with Trump the same game plan as Obama , he will say what we want to hear and then when he gets elected ( not by us but by the board of directors , congress as he is a CEO of the corporation "UNITED STATES") he will then do a 180 and it will be business as usual by the corporation for another two terms . The only way to stop this is by revolution .

I think we need to keep the pressure on, many more comments in their strongholds, e.g. Washington Times, and all gun rights, etc. people push hard.  I think our authorities understand all this as well as I do, that is why they backed down at Bundy Ranch.  We win just by preparing and letting the collapse happen.

Preparing includings reading and understanding and building connections.  If it becomes time to implement a Bunny Bangers or Afghanistan 1000X solution, what are you going to do to help?  We need bunches of Youtube HOWTOs on all that, and everyone needs to get onto an overlay net, set up a TOR exit node.

The answer is just too simple for people to understand. When individual people accumulate too much wealth and-or power, they become opulopaths. This is a form of moral insanity. It inevitably leads to disaster on a vast scale. But only for the peasants who have some notion about sanity. Which the opulopaths utterly lack.

This dual shit-i-zen bankster evil has been going on for a long long time.  Wars in Europe to mass murder innocents for profits started hundreds of years ago.

It started early in the USA.  Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States and one of the best against European tribal family central banksters.  They tried to kill him more than once.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Jackson#Attack_and_assassination_at...

After Jackson - any President supporting gold/silver as money, againt central banks or fiat was killed.

Garfield, Lincoln (sold out for bankster Civil War but was flirting wiyth fighting central banks) McKinley (for bi-metalism), JFK.  They may have also killed Zachary Taylor and Harding.

Anyone know that during Harding's administration, Eugene Debs, a socialist politician, got 10 years in prison for speaking out against WW1!   Harding pardoned him.

You can see the psychopaths have been pushing endless war for $$$ for a long time.

That's because 98% of all media are owned by 6 corporations, all of which have extensive ties to the MIC and government. In fact, there is a merry-go-round of elites among the top rungs of all organizations, MIC-politics-corporations-media-etc., that all share one thing: membership in the Council for Foreign Relations, a 'finishing school' for top university grads that preps these elite scum for their roles at the top of the pyramid. And the CFR is only one such organization; there are many more, every country hosting some, and all are interconnected.

For a good read on what WWI and WWII were really about, and an explanation of the CFR, check out Larry Abraham's 'Call it Conspiracy' from 1985. The first edition, 'None Dare Call it Conspiracy,' by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham, is available as a free downloadable PDF file if you just do a simple 'net search.

The presstitutes, those of the $600 haircuts and .60 brains are not the media. They are the propagandists of the TPTB.
There are a few truth seekers, such as Tyler, GW and others that are posted here at ZH. Most others, have long since been banned from op-ed pages long ago and had to seek the refuge of the Internet, the last bastion of free press, free speech and free of censorship.
The Deep State is getting nervous, because people are no longer tuning in, but tuning out the incessant babblers on the TV and major "faux news." The six corporations that own 90% of the media, are losing the battle for controlling the "news." This is exactly why they want to gain control of the Internet. The pendulum is swinging the other way now.
More and more truth seekers are posting every day. They want to link and share their sites with more like minded authors, bloggers and people, so that we can maybe, just maybe shoot enough holes in the propagandists blather and lies.
I was beginning to think that journalism, much like their brethren, common sense, rule of law, ethics and honesty, had died... but recently, especially after finding The Hedge four years ago, I see that journalism has been making a comeback.
Thanks to all that post and comment here, especially the Tyler's, for I have a renewed sense of purpose again, something that I have been lacking for a while...

Those fuckers now have a big operation @ Fort Gordon in GA.  I actually DO know an average NSA desk grunt contractor.  He's young and recently got out of the military.  To him, it's just a job.  He hasn't shown any dogmatic zeal for 'protecting Murrica from turrists' (yet).  Who knows, part of his job might be to keep an eye on me.  

Meawhile, the intermittent direct military helicoper overflights of my property continue.  Yest was a daytime MH-47E sightseer.  Looked like they brought the full sensor package, incl the FLIR, on the front.  Must have been in a hurry, they hadnt raised the ramp in the back to the closed position.  Hope they got a good image of my bare ass.

The city redacted specific figures on the NSA’s water usage last year in response to a Salt Lake Tribune public records request. Estimates have ballparked the water usage of the agency’s new Bluffdale facility around 1.2 to 1.7 million gallons every day to cool an approximate 100,000 square feet of computer equipment.

Balfour Declaration Letter:

Foreign Office

November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely,

Arthur James Balfour

Interview with Harold Wallace Rosenthal.

Who was taken out by Mossad later.

"We Jews continue to be amazed with the ease by which Christian Americans have fallen into our hands. While the naive Americans wait for Khrushchev to bury them, we have taught them to submit to our every demand." Asked how a nation could be captured without their knowing it, Mr. Rosenthal attributed this victory to absolute control of the media. He boasted of Jewish control of ALL NEWS. Any newspaper which refused to acquewsce to controlled news was brought to its knees by withdrawing advertising. Failing in this, the Jews stop the supply of news print and ink. "It's a very simple matter," he stated. Asked about men in high political office, Mr Rosenthal said that no one in the last three decades has achieved any political power without Jewish approval. "Americns have not had a presidential choice since 1932.

Russia and China will simply cut all the transatlantic and transpacific data and communications cables and isolate the Western Hemisphere-letting the USA stew in its own juices-if the USA continues to conduct itself as a world liability.

The utility of war as a world economic engine -as it has been for 1000's of years-has ground to a halt. The warmongers no longer control the narrative-which even if they are in the right concerning a specific issue-doesn't matter. The USA simply cannot prevail in a Eurasian War -regardless of what the sociopsychopaths are trying to sell Congress-without nukes-and of such scale that it will render life on earth irrelevant

The demographics are now such that there is plenty of opportunity simply feeding, clothing, sheltering, and providing medical care to one another, to drive the world.

None of those activities however demands massive central governments with massive weapons systems and fleets commanding regional and national economies.

All those activities are very local, simple and inexpensive. The technological challenge is one of efficiency.

The mindset that drove the 19th-20th centuries has become the single greatest liability to the 21st century

Yeah, but I think for different reasons.  I think that the Founding Fathers had paid attention to how Rome had transitioned from republic to empire.  The change happened, in part, due to the distances and scopes of the campaigns that the legions went on.  It got to the point where they could no longer do the whole farmer-soldier thing and went to a straight up professional military.  Many of the legionaries were not property holders when it got to that point.  On these long campaigns, a good commander would take care of the legionaries, and they would often wind up with property.  Eventually, it got to the point where the legionaries were more loyal to their commanders than they were to Rome because their commanders took care of them in ways that are not allowed today.  And the Republic turned into an empire. 

 

We're doing something different.  A lot of our soldiers are loyal to some idea of America.  What our military is now is a hammer looking for a nail.  Or at least, that is how it is being used.  Don't get me wrong, it is no better than what happened in Rome, and if it leads to nuclear war, it will prove to be much, much worse, but it is, none the less, different.  If we get through this, we'll have yet another reason to be leery of standing armies.

In my opinion, doing away with the draft some 40 years ago was a big mistake. (Okay, I got drafted - joined the USAF forthwith because they were drafting into the Marines back then - and just want others to suffer the same fate. But other than that...)

If we had a draft and drafted rather than recruited our soldiers and sailors, we would have a populace that was much more resistant to imperialist adventurism. Parents like me, who remember the turmoil of the Vietnam era because of the war and draft, would be reluctant to see their sons, daughters, and even grandchildren sacrificed for no worthy purpose. With a professional army it's too easy for most Americans to simply say about the current soldiers "Well, they knew what they were getting into." It won't be until the hardships hit home that most will care. The US is already effectively bankrupt; paying for a major conflict will really cause pain. I recall my parents describing the rationing required during WW II when the US had a thriving manufacturing base. I wonder how most of the US population would do under those conditions.

There aren't many American resources left to mobilize. Pray for peace.

I have read elsewhere that drafting people is also a problem. Not only do they get many people who don't want to be there and create problems for the trainers but modern weaponry is rather complex, and can't be learned so quickly. So that's a bit of a dampener and therefore most forces these days are volunteers who sign up for longer than the draft could be. Not enlisting would be a good idea, or stay overweight. 

Not too much is in the public eye about the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation but they do have a defence component, because its members have never subscribed to the view  that America wants peace.

The forces in Europe, Germany in particular, should not be counted on. The population mix in Germany is changing; in one-son families no reason is good enough for war and judging from German language comments the appetite to lay your life on the line for US hegemony is no longer there because the situation in the US is no longer seen as a model to be admired and mimicked. .

This is how they want to take care of the population.... All leaders start a nuclear war and hide underground while everyone else gets annihilated above ground. They dont want so many people in my opinion.

> A non-nuclear war with China or Russia would mean the restoration of the draft and bring the human cost of war home to every family in America.

LOL on a new draft because the under 30's in America today do not hold a candle in toughness and being in shape as the drafted Americana from Vietnam, Korea, WW2 so the elite will be fucked which is good ;-)

Draft Malia. Draft Sasha. Heck, draft Chelsea.

If Ted Williams, Willie Mays and Elvis served, so could they.

Heh. Their "service" was a joke. You really think Elvis was ever allowed to go near real enemy fire? Imagine the furor if a celebrity got nailed. It's as much a joke as the British royals "serving."

Dude, a world altering shitstorm like US vs Russia/China would require every swinging dick under 40 to be ready to serve. Vietnam was a glorified camping trip in the jungle compared to the big kahuna that is coming. Proxy wars are good like that, they allow you to use up your less desirables while leaving the college types untouched. Unfortunately, a real fight for our very survival means nobody gives a shit if you're 40 pounds overweight and smoked weed a few times. You'll lose weight in combat and there aint no weed where you're going...

The U.S. only "used up" a measly 60,000 "undesirables" in 'Nam. Hardly a drop in the bucket when compared to a population of a couple hundred million people.

Yeah. During Vietnam my Dad (WW2) told me boy, if you can walk, they'll take you.

So, I suggest wheel chairs.

Under 40s? The Ukrainian putsch "government" is drafting over 65s, as we speak. You'll fight if you're still above ground, if it "comes to that".

There is no civil war in Syria and never was. It was western instigated attempt for the regime change using as a spark legitimate grievances of Syrian peoples demanding abandonment of the Assad’s neoliberal economic policies that caused collapse of high standard of living and lack of decent jobs for young generation.

 Now, it is purely a war of aggression of US, EU and Gulf states via their proxies dominated almost exclusively by foreign fighters, against Syrian people, aimed to wiping out Syrian state from the map of Middle East. And that’s what draws millions of Syrian Sunni, Shia, Christians, Alawites etc., to Assad, not as much love or reverence but true love to their country.

 While Carter’s partially correct on the Assad failures, his ideas are still US-centric aim to cover up utter failure of diplomatic, political and military efforts of the US regime that as a result of this should disappear as a dominant political player in the Middle East. And hence carter’s plan is doomed to failure since it was concocted in a desperate and ultimately futile attempt “snatch victory from jaws of defeat” as we re are observing for over four years now.

After all that typing you forgot the main issue: the U.S. needs a pro western puppet government in Syria to run a gas pipeline from Quatar into Europe and CIRCUMVENT GAZPROM and Russia's man source of revenue. Afterwards, when Russians start rioting the U.S. will attempt to topple the Russian government. Same M.O., just rinse and repeat.

Actually, I rule the elite, but they have yet to figure that out. Moreover, WW3 is inevitable, but it ain't going to end like the American bureaucrats think it will. Go ahead and make my day, NATO, you amoeba brained jarheads.
