USA: US Army Chief Threatens War with Russia
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley warned last night that the United States was ready to “destroy” its enemies in comments that were clearly directed at Russia.
“I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States military – despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational] tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that,” said Milley.
The General went on to warn that Russia and other countries had taken advantage of the U.S. being focused on the war on terror.
Democracy and Class Struggle is aware of the possible US cruise missile attack om Syria combined with US Navy Commander taking of fighting Russia and China in Missile Defense Zones and now the Army Chief of Staff barking mad at Russia and China and Iran.
This rhetoric is reaching heights we only rarely saw in the cold war - these words will have consequences both intended and unintended and just reminds us what a dangerous place the Imperialism of Global Capitalism is - if we cannot end global capitalism and imperialism it will end us.
We should have done it in 1914 - we are already 100 years too late with a bloody 20th century behind us and an even more horrendous century in front of us unless 2017 reminds us to put an end to these murderous bastards and their system once and for all.
