The
United States believes that it is so invincible, exceptional and so
frightening that no one would ever dare to protest, let alone defend its
people against constant humiliation, economic embargos and military
threats.
It
used to be like this for quite some time. In the past, the West used to
bully the world before and after each well-planned assault. Also,
well-crafted propaganda used to be applied.
It
was declared that things are done ‘legally’ and rationally. There were
certain stages to colonialist and imperialist attacks: “define your
goals”, “identify your victim”, “plan”, “brainwash your own citizens and
people all over the world”, and then, only then, “bomb some unfortunate
country back to the stone ages”.
Now,
things are slightly different. “The leader of the free world” wakes up
in the middle of the night, and he tweets. What comes from his computer,
tablet or phone, (or whatever he uses), is spontaneous, unpolished and
incredibly dangerous. Similar in substance to what made him wake up in
the middle of the night, in a first place.
He
does not seem to plan; he shoots off from the hip. Today, as I am
writing this essay, he has declared that he has “five strategies for
Venezuela”. Go figure. Bravo!
Earlier,
as he was about to land outside London, he embarked on insulting the
Mayor of the British capital, calling him names. A bit like we used to
do to each other, when we were five years old, in the neighborhood
playground.
He has been regularly offending Mexico, and of course Iran, China and Russia.........http://www.unz.com/avltchek/if-you-provoke-the-entire-world-something-may-happen/
