While I admire the passionate rebuke by the Left of US Imperialism abroad, my criticism lies in the oversimplification of motive, namely that it is for oil, at least in the case of Venezuela and Iran. But there is much more to the motive, and these additional motives are at least as significant as the covering of foreign resources.
This is an attempt to initiate the most significant geopolitical shift since at least the collapse of the Soviet Union, arguably since the end of WWII, and the establishment of the Bretton Accords, which solidified a global finance system. This new wave of imperialism is indeed at its core most fundamentally a last ditch and necessary attempt by the US-EU-Zionist Empire to eliminate the three most vulnerable countries in the world which operate–and have for decades–outside of the control of the World Bank and IMF, and the dollar. If it succeeds, then only China, Russia, and North Korea stand in the way of total global control.
Of course, it is no accident that Iran and Venezuela have historically accounted for the vast majority of Oil imports into Russia and China, both are which dependent on those imports, economically and socially. Is this President so arrogant and uneducated on the matter, that he really thinks China and Russia will sit by and do nothing? In fact, as we speak the three countries are planning joint naval operations in the region, in a gesture of solidarity and perhaps parody against the US presence there.
This is not child’s play, and yet we have a spoiled brat in the oval office. An egotistical bully, who may know Wall Street, but certainly doesn’t understand the repercussions of what he is proposing. Or maybe he just doesn’t care about Iranian civilians, or US service members, or anybody else other than himself, his cronies, his donors. To him, they’re simply expendable, numbers on a chart.
And dare I say, that these bloodthirsty cannibals, these pedophiles and rapists have long fantasized over fetishes of Latina and Middle Eastern women, who are arguably some of the most beautiful in the world, at least according to the way they are characterized and serialized in US culture, and in the dark underworld of pornography and sex trafficking networks. May Allah protect the innocent, and the chastity of our women in the face of this evil! And May Allah protect The People, the upright and righteous, who are under siege at this moment.
