American presidents can easily reshape the world for the worse with destructive and mercenary foreign policy. It makes no sense to consider hopefuls for president, like Ron Desantis, who have no clear record, clear opinion, or clear theology on foreign policy.
Pilger accurately critiqued Obama early in Obama’s political adventures. Pilger remembers the Ukrainian game Obama played, which was part of an international reset, and the opening of doors to American money laundering in Europe’s most corrupt nation, Ukraine.
Writes Pilger,
“In the year NATO invaded Libya, 2011, Obama announced what became known as the ‘pivot to Asia’. Almost two-thirds of U.S. naval forces would be transferred to the Asia–Pacific to ‘confront the threat from China’, in the words of his defence secretary.
“There was no threat from China; there was a threat to China from the United States; some 400 American military bases and assorted installations formed an arc along the rim of China's industrial heartlands, which a Pentagon official described approvingly as a ‘noose’.
“At the same time, Obama placed missiles in Eastern Europe aimed at Russia. It was the beatified recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who increased spending on nuclear warheads to a level higher than that of any U.S. administration since the Cold War—having promised, in an emotional speech in the centre of Prague in 2009, to ‘help rid the world of nuclear weapons’.
“Obama and his administration knew full well that the coup his assistant secretary of state, Victoria Nuland, was sent to oversee against the government of Ukraine in 2014 would provoke a Russian response and probably lead to war. And so it has.”
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the (revolutionary) Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy…”
–George Orwell, 1984
Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.
“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
