The corporate press and the government is loath to tell you about the origins of the Islamic State. The situation in Eastern Ukraine, and the bombing and shelling of the civilians there, isn't just too graphic to show. What is hard to show, is the handprint of American and EU provocateurs. That turned an expression for closer ties with Europe by Western Ukrainians peacefully demonstrating into something very different. While the Demonstrators marched peacefully, the EU and American provocateurs funded cells of fascists that have turned those demonstrations into a full-blown Civil War.
Are all of these so-called "crisis's" the result of blunders due to failed US foreign policy? Think back on what I wrote about Vietnam in the beginning of this article. Today we have The Crisis in Syria, The crisis in Iraq and the crisis in Ukraine and the crisis in Gaza. All of these things require weapons, and weapons require money. These uprisings destabilize our enemies or those we perceive as threats and more importantly, turn a profit.
Like the War in Vietnam, winning or losing is not the goal. The goal is to Keep the military industrial complex humming like a well oiled machine. War is big business. It doesn't matter who is doing the fighting as long as the fighting is producing a need for weapons procurement. Having the US involved means sophisticated weapons like smart bombs, jet fighters and drones. While most Americans are worried about "mission creep", those that walk in the shadows of power are ecstatic. Just like during Vietnam, these people, the ones behind the curtain, never lose as long as they are making money. Sadly, business is good.
