They say they will rule the world and they couldn't even rule Afghanistan.

The fact that the USA ruling the world is impossible is not a bug, it's a feature. The whole goal is to establish a cash cow that is 1) maximal size 2) goes on forever.

When they withdrew from the Afghanistan cash cow I knew that it was not out of love of peace, it was to reallocate the resources to a more profitable venture.

George Orwell predicted all this with amazing accuracy in his 1984. The wars go on forever in a strip from eastern Europe to southeast Asia to keep the people poor and afraid, thus stabilizing society. He even has the UK aligned with USA against Europe.

Though George didn't believe it would actually come about. He called his book a "parody."

The US leadership has no moral compass.

The United States and its various puppets are ruled by sociopaths.

The sickest aspect of this warm embrace of Armageddon is that war IS a racket, and all these warmongers are very rich. Some of of them are crazy, but the rest just follow the money.

Of course the United States Empire is the single greatest threat to world peace.

What does anyone propose to do about it?

They seem to be working with all their might to screw themselves.

It's called "stupidity."

Psychopaths, insane, mass murderers like Biden love these military organizations to massacre more and more people - just like he did to Palestinian people in Palestine, their historical, beloved motherland. He will pour in any amount of American taxpayer money to keep them going!

Have you ever read the news, or listened to Biden. If so, you will know that all of what you type is untrue. Perhaps you mean Trump? Or Israel? Perhaps the US war machine is guilty of a lot of things, but not Biden. Please think about what you type.

Irish Catholic massacre, slaughter and butcher of Palestinian people in Palestine, in their own beloved, historical motherland - sending shiploads of lethal armament with shiploads of mega-bobs (each 1000 ton), Biden should have never given podium of the UN to talk peace. Of course, it is absurd is not the word - it is indeed, hypocrisy at its best! The question should be asked: who is fooling who?

Great piece, as always. Thank you!

The primary aim of NATO is to resolve peacefully conflicts or disputes that threaten the stability of a nation or region. NATO has started no wars, nor wishes to be part of a war. Any statement otherwise needs to have some proof. I see none here in this article, or comments. If there was no NATO, Putin would have already conquered every Eastern European country again....tell me this is not so?

Are you ever going to discuss how many children your patron Vladimir Putin has killed?

Possibly the worst aspect of all this is that in the end America is not all good at war. True, there was Grenada. They'd have been far far better off to have bought the Afghan poppies - which have legitimate use - and let the Afghans rule themselves, as they did quite well prior to the Soviet invasion. Instead the US started Operation Sledge Hammer by spraying the crops with herbicide, all but guaranteeing their impoverishment. And we wonder why they hate us?

It should have dissolved when the Warsaw Pact did.

NATO and the UN should both be dismantled.

Maybe with debacle in Ukraine both NATO and EU will disappear…

NATO provoked the war in Ukraine. So far it has made NATO stronger.

The war could go on forever except that Ukraine is running out of men. Will the USA start drafting men to maintain the cash cow?

Yes! Putin did not want war, but was forced into it by NATO.

What are you guys even talking about? NATO provoked nothing. EU kept RUS alive and paid them to progress to the stage they are just now, hoping they would be a valuable member of he world. Putin is greedy and wishes to get back to Soviet times. The US is not blameless in many many ways, but Biden is a good guy, Putin has never been a good guy, he is KGB to his roots. I've no idea where you guys get this nonsense opinions from, next you'll be telling me the earth is flat...
