US
Hegemony Spawns
Russian-Chinese Military Alliance

The
US has not been able to occupy the Iraqi city of Baghdad despite 5 years
of efforts; it most certainly cannot occupy Russia or China. That means
the conflict toward which the neocons are driving will be a nuclear
conflict.
This week the Russian and
Chinese militaries are conducting a joint military exercise involving
large numbers of troops and combat vehicles. The former Soviet Republics
of Tajikistan, Kyrgkyzstan, and Kazakstan are participating. Other countries
appear ready to join the military alliance.
This new potent military
alliance is a real world response to neoconservative delusions about
US hegemony. Neocons believe that the US is supreme in the world and
can dictate its course. The neoconservative idiots have actually written
papers, read by Russians and Chinese, about why the US must use its
military superiority to assert hegemony over Russia and China.
Cynics believe that the neocons
are just shills, like Bush and Cheney, for the military-security complex
and are paid to restart the cold war for the sake of the profits of
the armaments industry. But the fact is that the neocons actually believe
their delusions about American hegemony.
Russia and China have now
witnessed enough of the Bush administration’s unprovoked aggression
in the world to take neocon intentions seriously. As the US has proven
that it cannot occupy the Iraqi city of Baghdad despite 5 years of efforts,
it most certainly cannot occupy Russia or China. That means the conflict
toward which the neocons are driving will be a nuclear conflict.
In an attempt to gain the
advantage in a nuclear conflict, the neocons are positioning US anti-ballistic
missiles on Soviet borders in Poland and the Czech Republic. This is
an idiotic provocation as the Russians can eliminate anti-ballistic
missiles with cruise missiles. Neocons are people who desire war, but
know nothing about it. Thus, the US failures in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Reagan and Gorbachev ended
the cold war. However, US administrations after Reagan’s have
broken the agreements and understandings. The US gratuitously brought
NATO and anti-ballistic missiles to Russia’s borders. The Bush
regime has initiated a propaganda war against the Russian government
of V. Putin.
These are gratuitous acts
of aggression. Both the Russian and Chinese governments are trying to
devote resources to their economic development, not to their militaries.
Yet, both are being forced by America’s aggressive posture to
revamp their militaries.
Americans need to understand
what the neocon Bush regime cannot: a nuclear exchange between the US,
Russia, and China would establish the hegemony of the cockroach.
In a mere 6.5 years the Bush
regime has destroyed the world’s good will toward the US. Today,
America’s influence in the world is limited to its payments of
tens of millions of dollars to bribed heads of foreign governments,
such as Egypt’s and Pakistan’s. The Bush regime even thinks
that as it has bought and paid for Musharraf, he will stand aside and
permit Bush to make air strikes inside Pakistan. Is Bush blind to the
danger that he will cause an Islamic revolution within Pakistan that
will depose the US puppet and present the Middle East with an Islamic
state armed with nuclear weapons?
Considering the instabilities
and dangers that abound, the aggressive posture of the Bush regime goes
far beyond recklessness. The Bush regime is the most irresponsibly aggressive
regime the world has seen since Hitler’s.
If only a sweet young thing
would volunteer to give Bush a blowjob so that he can be impeached before
he leads us to Armageddon
