global American dick swinging - evil glows its horns - The New "Cold" War - [PEACE]

American military/MIC wonks, pushing the "elite"ist (((moneyed)))
agendas for war - bipartisan by the way as both Dems and Reps want to
kill as many brown children as possible and are proud to point this
out to the rest of us whilst labelling those who disagree as Nazis -
quite the ironyâ?¦

  The Citadels Of America's Elites: Fractured And At Odds With Each
  Other

  â?¦ quick to demonstrate his, at Aspen (after others had unveiled
  their masculinity on China and Iran), was the US envoy for Syria
  (and deputy US National Security Adviser), James Jeffrey: A US
  policy boiled down to one overriding component: â??hammering Russiaâ??.
  â??Hammering Russiaâ?? (he insisted repeatedly), will continue until
  President Putin understands there is no military solution in Syria
  (he said with heightened verbal emphasis). Russia falsely assumes
  that Assad has â??wonâ?? war: â??He hasnâ??tâ??, Jeffrey said. And the US is
  committed to demonstrating this fundamental â??truthâ??.

  Therefore, the US plans to â??up the pressureâ??; will escalate the
  cost to Russia, until a political transition is in place, with a
  new Syria emerging as a â??normal nationâ??. The US will â??leverageâ?? the
  costs on Russia across the board: Through military pressure â??
  ensuring a lack of military progress in Idlib; through Israelis
  operating freely across Syriaâ??s airspace; through â??US partnersâ??
  (i.e. the Kurds) consolidating in NE Syria; through economic costs
  (â??our successâ?? in stopping reconstruction aid to Syria); through
  extensive US sanctions on Syria (integrated with those on Iran) â??
  â??these sanctions are succeedingâ??; and thirdly, by diplomatic
  pressure: i.e. â??hammering Russiaâ?? in the UN.

  Well, the US shift on Syria also takes oneâ??s breath away. Recall
  how little time ago, the talk was of partnership, of the US working
  with Russia to find a solution in Syria. Now the talk of the US
  Envoy is the talk of Cold War with Russia as much as were his Aspen
  colleagues â?? albeit in respect to China. Such â??machismoâ?? is
  evidenced too coming from the US President: â??I could â?? if I wanted
  â?? end the US war in Afghanistan in a weekâ??, (but it would entail
  the deaths of 10 million Afghans), Trump excalimed. And, in the
  same mode, Trump now suggests that for Iran, he is easy: war or not
  â?? either path is fine, for him.

  All this braggadocio is reminiscent of late 2003 when the war in
  Iraq was just entering its insurgent stage: It was said then that
  mere â??boys go to Baghdad; but real men chose to go to Tehranâ??. It
  gained wide circulation in Washington at the time. This type of
  talk gave rise, as I well recall, to something approaching an
  hysteric elation. Officials seemed to be walking six inches above
  the ground, in anticipation of all the dominos expected to fall in
  succession.

  The point here is that the tacit coupling of Russia â?? now termed a
  major â??foeâ?? of America by US Defence officials â?? and China,
  inevitably is being refracted back at the US, in terms of a growing
  strategic Russo-Chinese partnership, ready to challenge the US and
  its allies.
