The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

I just finished posting a lengthy 4 part historical analysis of the entirely (but unsurprisingly) neglected genocidal aspect of US actions in Korea from 1945 to 1953.
