  1. I have posted this contribution to the discussion in a few other threads but I think it is worth doing so again, as, as faras I know no one else seems to thik along the same lines (Or circles.) Almost all the conflict that has plagued the World since 1945 has originated in the US, because of its obssession with being the World Hegemon. The constsnt war-mongering has its seat in what I call the "Vicious circle" in Washington DC. This circular structure is fed, willy-nilly by the us taxpayer and passes out money to the shareholders and employees of the weapons mfgs and the lobbyist industry, and its shareholders and employees and the MSM feeds off advertising bought by the weapon mfgs. The Vicious Circle consists of various parts: the congress-critters, the weapons manufacturers, the United States Government and the lobbying industry. The vicious circle functions in the following way: being circular there is no startpoint or end point, but I will start with the congress-critters, who vote for payments to the arms mfgs. The government then orders the weapons and pays the weapons mfgs. The weapons mfgs then pay their shareholders and employees and the lobbyists who pay the congress-critters' election expenses on condition that they vote "the right way" and so it goes round and round with the MSM carrying adverts from the arms mfgs and helping along with stories to alarm the general public. This structure is very powerful, very rich, quite ruthless and very well established. So long as it exists in its present form, I doubt that the World will ever know peace. The only solution I can think of, is if the US is handed a resounding defeat in Ukraine and the Russians insist that all arms mfgs must be nationalised enterprises, with no other shareholder than the government of their country. This, by cutting the financial nexus, would kill the "Vicious Circle" stone-dead. At least I hope it would, I think it would.

  2. 20:25 "We have to be able to defend ourselves." Against whom? You can't conquer a country with aircraft, you need boots on the ground. So who are you afraid off? Is it the Mexicans? The Canadians? You have the Pacific Ocean one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. The statement is self-serving rubbish. It is cover, for the delusional feeling that the Americans have allowed themselves: that they have to be the TOP Dog in the World. This I think, is pure "Projection". The Americans think, that because they use their strength to bully other countries, if any country became strong enough to be able to resist them, they would do the same to the Americans. It is a form of psychological illness. However, this "Illness" is very difficult to treat because the "Elite" are in the Vicious Circle, I have described earlier and it is very profitable to them. They, not the voters, control US Foreign Policy.
