i looked up united states wars—102, with 3 ongoing. i guess the name america came from amerigo vespucci, but now we can call it the united states of war.

 it's not just about the weapons traders, it's about the pipelines.

Glen Ford presciently wrote(in 2014 when they staged the coup that put the puppet ruler in ukraine): “Washington will move to crush, or at least seriously disrupt, Russia under its ‘sanctions as war by other means’ machine, by targeting its energy exports, while simultaneously boosting the foreign markets for U.S. natural gas.”

 the thugs of empire and the weapons industry always want more war. how can they ever be stopped? they love only violence and money. they are insane and they are destroying us.

all invasions, all wars, all injustices and all land grabs are connected. 

 barack obama can speak about the law of rule and empire but he cannot speak about the basic principles of human decency. he is deficient in that regard.

 for the dogs, and for all sentient beings, detest and resist empire!

 i'm digging the phrase, a dangerous nostalgia for a lost world.
