Of course what the U.S. party of war really wants is a regime change in Russia. Have they given any thought or concern about what might come after, if Putin is gone? Putin is a moderate. There are hardliners that might take his place. Or Russia and all of Eurasia could be destabilized the way the party of war did to the Middle East.
The U.S. did not learn the lessons of WW2. It should have learned the lessons of Iraq, but did not either. In 2002 the neocons said that Saddam Hussein was "Hitler". They said get rid of Saddam and the Iraqi people will welcome the U.S. as liberators. They said the Middle East would blossom with Western democracy, peace, and secular neoliberal capitalism. Instead the whole Middle East is in chaos. Nobody is held to account. No lessons were learned.
Now the neocons are saying that the problem is Putin: "He is Hitler". Get rid of Putin and the Russian people will welcome the U.S. as liberators, they say. The party of war promises that this time it will work, once Putin is gone: Eurasia will blossom with Western democracy and neoliberal capitalism.
Why should we believe the neocons this time? They are asking us to take an insane gamble with the future of the planet.
