The intensely neoconservative U.S. President Joe Biden is leading the world into a World War III against both Russia and China, but despite the U.S. spending annually around half of the entire planet’s military expenditures (not only in its ‘Defense’ Department but in its Treasury Department and other Government agencies), America is actually inferior to both Russia and China regarding leading-edge geostrategically crucial technologies of both nuclear and laser weapons, and is getting farther behind each year, because for both Russia and China their own national sovereignty is what their enemy, the U.S. Government, aims to conquer, whereas no one poses a threat to the U.S. Government’s continuing rule over its own people (it becomes increasingly a police-state). The U.S. Government is the only and supreme champion of sanctions and coups and invasions for regime-change producing the creation of new vassal-nations throughout the globe, whereas both Russia and China must protect themselves from that or else become themselves new U.S. vassal-nations. So: they are laser-focused on NOT allowing America to grab their nation. Truly, for them, this is an existential issue, NOT a matter (such as is the case regarding the U.S. Government) of growing to become the world’s first and only all-encompassing global empire (a luxury that only America’s billionaires, who control the U.S. Government, require). This basic distinction is the reason why whereas the U.S. has over 800 military bases spread throughout the planet, Russia and China are concerned ONLY about not allowing U.S. forces to be based so near to their borders as to enable a U.S. missile to annihilate their capital’s command-and-control within less than ten minutes and so to enable the U.S. Government to grab control of them so fast that the targeted nation’s (Russia’s and China’s) retaliatory weapons won’t be launched in self-defense.
Consequently, for example, the geostrategically-focused CRUX youtube site headlined on May 23rd “Why The World Fears Putin’s ‘Flying Chernobyl’ Nuclear-Powered Cruise Missile”, and reported on Russia’s emerging “Buravestnik” nuclear-powered nuclear-warheaded missile that will be able to avoid all known types of anti-missile detection and tracking technologies and that will be able to fly for any distance because of its nuclear fuel. Though that pro-U.S.-Government, anti-Putin, CRUX-produced video says “Experts have underlined the threat that … this weapon may pose to the environment and human health” due to radioactive waste that’s released into the air during its flight, because there is no space inside the missile to store waste, even America’s National Defense magazine has admitted that “the amount of nuclear waste that this will produce is very tiny, … basically negligible,” which is hardly what CRUX headlines it as being — a “Flying Chernobyl.” CRUX went on to say, “Experts say that Putin’s Cold War mindset has normalised the development of such doomsday weapons.” It’s all regime-change-in-Russia propaganda.
In other words: the neocons’ aim to destroy Russia so fast that Russia won’t be able to destroy America in retaliation, is hogwash that’s probably funded, ultimately, by corporations such as Lockheed Martin, whose sales are exclusively or mainly to the U.S. Government and its allied governments (vassal-nations), which U.S.-and-allied weapons-making firms’ stock-values have soared ever since the end of the Cold War in 1991. It ended only on Russia’s side in 1991, but this supercharged it on America’s side. This unleashed a solely military-industrial-complex-controlled U.S. Government, which demands an ever-increasing percentage of the U.S. Government’s expenses to go toward its military, which, nonetheless, is privately owned and controlled; and its profits have soared.
It would be nice if Eric outlined the differences between neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism. I’ve read on that neo-conservatism should be looked in the same light as aristocracy while neo-liberalism is really imperialism. If those definitions hold true then, Biden is really a neo-liberal.
They’re synonims. They always were: neoliberal is used more commonly for the socio-economic aspects of Reaganism and neocon for the political manifestations. Neoliberal is used more commonly outside the USA and neocon in the USA. This last is because the word “liberal” acquired a pseudo-leftist meaning in US political slang after “socialist” in all its variants was deemed taboo by McCarthyism: while elsewhere on Earth it retained its meaning of extreme lawles capitalist ideology, in the USA it became something like social-democrat or social-reformist.
But overall they are understood to be synonims: Friedman, Pinochet, Reagan and Thatcher (and successors).
I always preferred corrupt, psychopathic, traitorous warmongers who would sell their country, family, party, soul in the blink of an eye for money, advancement or power. I always thought that description was more accurate.
Fair enough. XD
Yeah. The division in the GOP is between the neocons (people like Bush, Romney, McCain) and paleocons (Buchanan, Trump). The former group wants to play Team America, world police. The latter wants us to mind our own business and only respond if attacked. George Washington’s model of foreign policy.
Biden is a democrat, so although he is a warmonger, he isn’t a neocon. Fabian Socialists would be one way to describe the Dems, using war to alter reality to one more suited to their personal proclivities.
These guys can’t even fuck their women, the world don’t give a dam about.
So funny, the US isn’t suffering the population decline Russia is. I guess breeding is different than fucking? Or just what were you thinking….not.
They are actually but the southern border brings millions of immigrants to overcome the population decline
That’s only because of mass immigration, legal and illegal.
Biden is no neo-con, though he is influenced by them. The neo-cons are mostly a bunch of jewish ex-Trotskyites, so we can blame Biden’s foreign policy on the damned Bolsheviks, too. Russians never want to admit that the breakdown of US society was influenced in large part by the party line promulgated by the Socialist International run by Moscow for so many years, be karma if it ends up biting Russia on the ass. Not that I want to see that happen.
you amerikants take stupidity to levels previously unknown
The intensely absurd stunt double pretending to be somebody’s president is not one. Neither he, nor any of his little friends, are legitimate representatives of the United States of America. Their behavior is criminal and does not reflect the will of the American People in any way at all whatsoever.
libs and conservatives are the same in USA-
The US eshstablishment has so many deals in place with the maritime law british crown company that is is hard to make a difference between them. With all the masks and fake identities it is difficult to tell is Biden even a real person. Put his and prince edwards face pictures side by side. British imperialism and ultracapitalism..even governments are companies
true conservatism is about conserving functioning nations, peoples, religions etc. US and NATO are about destroying order because of a diabolic ideology of creative destruction. These fools in the West plan to construct a new world on the ruins of the present world – what ever the bloody price might be -. The fanatics in the West want to turn the world upside down. True Christians and all other serious persons are trying to turn an upside down world back to it’s feet
Will BIDEN AND ALL OTHER NEOCONS Be Cowering In Bunkers While innocent citizens are incinerated?
