(84,711 posts)Yet the methods used for "Global Stability" are proving to cause more instability. It's time for a rethink. War and Chaos in the Middle East because of an Invasion in Iraq fed to the American People and Europe based on deception and lies which has conveniently followed the guidance of the "Project for New American Century" almost to the letter. We and our "allies" have expanded NATO into countries it was never intended to be in. It is the West's Global Army along with mercenaries and others who are paid who have no loyalty to anyone but their own paychecks.
Is the world more stable today than it was before 9/11 when the power of the Miltitary/Corporate/Industrial/Media Complex was unleashed?
RE: Putin. Since "Regime Change" was always a chief goal of the "PNAC" and Iran is one of the targets on the original list it would make sense that Russia's alliance with Iran and other areas where the "Liberal Interventionists" have interest would mean that Putin is an "enemy" to the goals of the Global Interests. Regime change is in store for Russia. Ukraine is the door. When the Soviet Union dissolved there were agreements made about NATO expanding into those former Soviet States and threatening Russia's "Homeland" (since we in the USA are so fond of that word). Putin's past speeches have shown that he always wanted to Russia to work with the Eurozone in cooperation economically. One can say that his speeches are a cover up for this "true intentions" (since so many Political Leaders tend speak out of both sides of their mouths) but the track record of our US/Allies in bringing chaos wherever we go would seem to give justification that Putin has some justification for his actions.
This is an alternative view that many on the Left have about the failures of our foreign policy from Korea, through Vietnam, South America, arming Taliban against Soviet Union and now this disaster in the ME and looming confrontation with Russia. I've left out a few other "interventions" that have had unintended consequences from "Bringing Freedom and Democracy"....but this is enough to call for some serious Re-Think of what is going on with our foreign policy that Chaos is the result.
