Map: All the Countries John McCain Has Wanted to Attack | Mother Jones



This article sums up McCain's many, many occasions of warmongering over the past two decades. If McCain had his way, we'd have had at least 2 more Cold Wars by now and we'd be well on our way to World War Four or Five....

Yeah, this is what I've been on about in the Politics forum. There was a talk about this back in the 1990s when a US general essentially listed all the countries and regimes the US was going to take down.
This is on video and anyone can view it on Youtube. (guess it was before they got savvy about new media..)

And it's followed the script almost precisely. Some people believe in Jewish conspiracies and what not. This is a conspiracy that is essentially right there, and the world's super power is working to it diligently for a decade and a half. They are easily 80% through the list.

The whole world is criss-crossed by a network of American military, air and naval bases. All in the name of "freedom" and "democracy". It's double speak if ever there was any. Ask the Iraqis how happy they are with their freedom, or the Libyans. That was never what it was about. They don't care at all about the Syrians either, and besides, they didn't even have it that bad. No price in destruction, refugee crisis, chaos and human suffering seems to be too high.

China can't/won't stop the USA as long as it doesn't actually target China itself. Russia can't and doesn't want to do anything since it almost ruined itself trying to keep the USA in check, and eventually lost the game anyway. It's a real tragedy.

When other bully states are discussed in a historical light you can usually find some nice things to say about it; like the Romans built roads and kept the peace; the Greek spread the love for knowledge and critical thinking; the Moslem empire in the middle age valued science and maths.

But the USA.... What will its empire be famous for? I don't think hamburgers and expensive lattes will go down to posterity! Or perhaps it'll just go down as the short-lived empire that spread the values of junk culture, depleted morals, radical capitalism and the pursuit of money and corporate profits at any cost.
