China Helps Bring An End To Yemen War

The neowils ( neo wilsonians) also love the lie and live by the lie. The original Wilsonian Big Liar was President Wilson himself who connived and conspired to get America into World War One as a ” war to save democracy” while suppressing democracy at home and destroying as much of it as he could.

Being a bully and starting wars doesn’t win you any friends, and it’s not a long-term winning strategy unless you make sure you remain the top bully. America has been in noticeable decline to any Americans who don’t have their heads stuck in the sand. There is a quote that you must clean your house first before telling other people they aren’t doing it right.

Domestically, there are so many things clearly wrong – for-profit health care, for-profit education system, cities filled with homeless and the mentally ill, mass incarcerations but still have high crime compared to other developed countries – random acts of violence, rape, abductions, mass shootings – happening daily. All at the expense of sending billions of dollars to fund the military-industrial complex, and most Americans cannot connect the dots because they vote for the wrong people every time, whether Democrat or Republican.

The wars America has been a part of in our lifetime are unlike WWII, where there was an apparent evil that was not us. We are the bullies, the evildoers, bringing death and destruction worldwide, and Americans are foolish to believe that we’re bringing others freedom and democracy. Rather than work with China, our leaders are looking for ways to start WWIII, and many racist or nationalistic Americans are all for it, just as they were with invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

The world will no longer be European-centric, no matter how much Westerners wish for it or scapegoat people of color in their countries for their worsening quality of life. I am looking forward to China brokering more peace deals and lifting millions more in Africa and South America out of poverty, even if they are the main profiteers. They are doing more good in the world than the US has in the last half-century.

@anon,

Something to remember is that racist and/or nationalist Americans were not the only Americans to support war against Iraq and Afghanistan. Many neowilsonian liberals also supported the war against Iraq and Afghanistan and many Feminoid Clintonites in particular supported the war against Afghanistan and in particular its long post-Taliban-overthrow phase because of Womens’ Rights.

Remember the blood-hungry ” Responsibility To Protect” goldman-sachs feminists in government who pushed hardest for continuing the Afghan Occupation and then the counter-insurgency? I can’t fully remember their names. Something-or-other Slaughter, Susan Rice, Fiona Whats-her-name, etc. And remember Clinton herself?
SHEEEEE . . . . was THE prime driver pushing Obama to create the anti-Quadaffi war.

SHEEEEE…… was also the prime driver pushing Obama to recognize the Coup Regime against Zelaya in Honduras after Obama was satisfied to passively go along with the OAS rejection of that coup.

And when we speak of ” America” overthrowing governments . . . remember when those howling mobs of Clintonites and their hidden conspirator leaders tried to overturn the Trump election when Trump got elected in 2016 , like it or not? Didn’t that look just like a Color Revolution being rolled out?

So racists and nationalists are not our only problem here.

There is a saying that is not well enough known:

” When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in a Rainbow Flag and wearing a Pink Pussy Hat.”

Time will tell if it actually happens, but assuming it does, I think we can say the ship has fully sailed on all the ‘China doesn’t care about human rights’ memes and propaganda. Whatever genuine problems China has (and doubtless it has some, beneath all the Western lies) it didn’t enable the literal genocide in Yemen, and in fact sought to end it.

Many great comments above, & yes, dc’s is one of my favorites, “Neowilsonians” a good name for the NeoCons . . . I’ll keep it simple and short for a change– yes, the blood-soaked ‘Murican Imperium is on its last legs . . . I wonder if the Chinese will someday do a “Victims of Capitalism” memorial like fascist legacy child Chrystia Freeland of Canada’s “Victims of Communism” memorial there. Chrystia is of course the granddaughter of a Banderist Nazi newspaper publisher who got to take over the home of a Jewish family and a Jewish newspaper once those Ukraine Banderists liquidated “those people”, also reputedly to be the next head of NATO (very appropriate), maybe once the Ukraine clvsterfuck peters out NATO won’t be able to take on China over the “prize” of Taiwan, and will have to settle for invading Mexico (very big threat to the North Atlantic region I hear, especially those “Zetas”). Chrystia’s monument memorializes all the wonderful Nazi SS & other soldiers who fought and died fighting the Red Menace (as Blumenthal’s Grayzone has documented), so maybe AMLO will be the next Red (brown skinned) threat for “liberation”/ liquidation (depending on which side of the ledger one occupies) . . . If America and the Neowilsonians can no longer take on the big dogs, they’ll have to settle for swallowing smaller ones, all in the name of freedumb, justice and human rights of course, as the Dem “left” like Ro Khanna will brag as proudly as the R knuckle-draggers will.

The sun is near the horizon for the American Empire as world hegemon and the opposing bloc in the new bipolar world will be economically stronger than America’s bloc.

And it didn’t have to be. The Ukraine conflict in particular was a massive mistake, however it will turn out militarily. We had no essential interest in Ukraine, nor in Belarus, nor in any other part of the former USSR–including the Baltic States. They could have been re-absorbed back into a Russian-led state and it not affect us one iota.

Moreover, there was no reason to prod the Russians by pushing NATO eastwards. We could have helped the Soviet peoples post-USSR, like we did for Western Europe under the Marshall Plan, to make them all more prosperous and make a transition to democracy more stable, but instead we shoved neoliberalism down their throats and empowered the looters. We did this precisely because unlike George Marshal in the late 1940s, we really weren’t interested in exporting democracy, not especially the social democracy someone like Gorbachev had in mind for the former USSR. No, we were far more interested in promoting capitalism rather than democracy and insisted on Milton Friedman capitalism cold-turkey. Putin was at first welcomed by the West as someone who would “manage democracy”, as the NYT once put it, and keep Russia capitalist.

Hi, different clue– responding to you, I think the 2 groups are in an interlocking Venn diagram. Many commenters at various worthwhile anti-empire sites have noted that the chief drivers of US failed empire are in two major factions– Your “Neowilsonians” are what are generally called “Atlanticists”, linked to the Atlantic magazine and old line WASP neo-colonialists. (Though Bush NeoCon David Frum for instance was “promoted” after the failed Bush wars to an Atlantic editor.) The NeoCons of course are committed Zionists & famously come from a predominantly Jewish group of formerly Trotskyist social climbers (e.g. Bill Kristol’s dad Irving is a very good example). Jews were treated quite badly by WASPs of course in this country until the 1950s, when they made greater inroads into other areas than business & entertainment, and were no longer excluded (or only admitted in very small #s) to higher education and other centers of cultural capital and power. . . The 2 groups of course overlap sharing a similar goal, a U$– Israeli (“our aircraft carrier in the Middle East” as Biden used to say when still coherent) worldwide Imperium based on Finance and Neoliberal economics (looting from workers, enriching the connected.) Though some found it “controversial” when AdBusters published a list of Jewish Neocons around the time of the Iraq invasion, nobody could dispute the actual facts. Btw, I’m not saying that the majority of secular Jews are war criminals like the elite Wolfowitz caste of the Ruling Class, in fact young American Jews have little or no interest in moving to Israel or taking away the Caananite/ Palestinian lands and re-establishing a Solomonic version of Iranian style theocracy. . . Anyway, these two groups are 100% ideologically aligned and promote one another in government, the NGO’s that front for “regime change,” etc. I liked Neowilsonians as a term, but to me they are all under the same umbrella whatever name, “Atlanticist” or “Neocon” is given to any individual.
