US Military's Knee on the Throat of the World

[Mac-7]

How many do you think?

Fewer than the US

Anti-war activists raise alarm over United States' fast-growing military presence across Africa

Chinas plan is have more than the US and be the worlds unchallenged superpower

 

[georgephillip]

Then they should stop asking for us to intervene.

Can you provide any examples of countries asking the US to maim, murder, and displace millions of their citizens?

The US Military Has Its Knee on the Throat of the World - CounterPunch.org

"The messy, scrappy, unsatisfying, asymmetrical wars in the devastated Middle East have lost the interest of our warriors, as two worthier adversaries, China and Russia, have been conjured up, and now grip their attention.

"Although our budget comprises over 40% of the world’s military spending, and China and Russia spend respectively one-sixth and one-tenth of ours, the Pentagon refers to them generously as 'near-peers'.

"China and Russia are not eager for these roles. We have had to torment them, like reluctant bulls in a bullfight.

"We sail our warships within twelve miles of their shores, conducting vast military exercises in the South China Sea, the Black Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Japan Sea.

"Thousands of US troops marched across Europe this spring to perform military exercises along Russia’s borders."

What you are giving us is called Revisionist History

lib professors have been pushing the idea that the Korean War was all America’s fault for 40-50 years

It is a historical fact the US military occupied southern Korea in 1945 and refused to allow free elections that were desired by a vast majority of Koreans.

United States Army Military Government in Korea - Wikipedia

"After the surrender of the Empire of Japan to the Allies, division at the 38th parallel marked the beginning of Soviet and American command over the North and South, respectively.

"U.S. forces landed at Incheon on September 8, 1945, and established a military government shortly thereafter.[9]

"The forces landing at Incheon were of the XXIV Corps of the U.S. Tenth Army.[10]

"They were commanded by Lt. General John R. Hodge, who then took charge of the government.[11]

"Four days before he arrived in Korea, Hodge told his officers that Korea 'was an enemy of the United States'".

Historical revisionism identifies the reinterpretation of traditional historical accounts. Since traditional accounts in the US are heavily influenced by White supremacy, anyone who isn't gullible enough to believe anything Trump says recognizes the need for revision.

Why would anyone in Europe want protection from the Russian military?

doesn't matter--irrelevant
..military bases does not = aggression

Foreign military bases have facilitated US invasions in every war of aggression since 1945 to such an extent those conflicts would not have happened without foreign bases.

Its a fact that the russians also occupied the north, both by international agreement

the UN offered to hold elections but the communists balked

eventually the US and most of the world reconized South Korea as a sovereign nation

Btw, you would have to be blind not to see how lucky the South Koreans were and how cursed north koreans are

America was a blessing for the South Korean people

It's a good thing that the USSR occupied northern Korea in 1945 and allowed free elections, eh?

Sorry, I despise socialists of all types. Even socialists that invade your motherland.

No, thats liberal/communist revisionist history myth

Uh, germany occupied only half of poland at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

the equally vile and detestable soviets occupied the other half

Being situated between Hitler and Stalin put Poland in a no win situation, imho; however, that doesn't change the fact Russia was invaded three times by Europe (and the US ) during the 20th Century. When Truman kicked off the Cold War in Greece and Korea, Russia had no choice other than acquiring a buffer zone to another expected western invasion of its homeland.

 

[georgephillip]

If Obama had made moves to deescalate with Russia, I would have supported that, while still opposing him on other issues.

How do Obama's Russian sanctions compare to Trump's?

what wars of aggression would that be?
--Afghanistan -we were attacked
--PG1 and 2--saddam STARTED those--we were defending Kuwait/etc
--Korea----North Korea STARTED that--we were defending the south

Sounds awful!!!

So Russia should be allowed to occupy Eastern Europe again, so they can feel safe?

Got it. You agreed with Trump, but you could not admit it. Not even now, after the fact

If it is true the US military is killing more civilians under Trump than Obama, what does that say about "peace?"

What does that say about "profits?"

How many civilians did Trump kill in drone strikes last year?

 

[georgephillip]

So, those liberals that attacked Trump for undermining NATO, you told them that? Or could you not stand apart from the lefty dogpiling?

I've argued long before Trump that NATO should have become extinct when the USSR did. The fact Trump has failed to remove the US from that organization makes me think he's more concerned with profits than peace?

MR Online | Is Russia imperialist?

 

[Mac-7]

When Truman kicked off the Cold War in Greece and Korea,

Thats not true

north korea invaded south korea

and in the UNs finest hour, the world responded with the US leading the way

It says you have been lied to

 

[georgephillip]

Which is more important to you? Ideological partisanship or Peace?

You're presenting a false dichotomy. Republicans AND Democrats are committed to billionaires like Trump. Billionaires earn large profits from wars they seldom fight in. Even if they don't own defense stocks, they sell luxury housing to parasites who do. So far, Trump has honored his pledge to avoid any new wars; maybe that's his "October Surprise"?
