🔹تجارب تاریخی نشان میدهد که تحریمهای اقتصادی موجب می‌شوندکنترل جامعه هدف به دست انحصارطلبان حاکم بیفتدو روند مردمسالاری به حاشیه رانده شود.تاریخچه طولانی مداخلات آمریکا در امور داخلی کشورهای مختلف نشان می دهدکه این مداخلات همواره یک مشکل را حل کرده اند اما مشکلات بزرگتری را به وجود آورده اند.مثلاً در دهه ۱۹۸۰دولت ریگان مجاهدین افغانی را علیه شوروی تجهیز و حمایت کرد.لکن همین مجاهدین،القاعده را بوجودآوردندو با مرگبارترین حملات یازده سپتامبر هزاران آمریکایی را به خاک و خون کشیدند و هزاران میلیارد دلار بودجه جنگ با تروریسم را روی دست مالیات‌دهندگان آمریکایی گذاشتند.

For Those Who Have Forgotten

Global Research Editor’s Note:

This interview serves as a reminder regarding the diabolical timeline of America’s hegemonic project. Is Iran the next target “to be taken out”?

All these countries are on the Pentagon’s drawing board.  These seven countries have directly or indirectly been the object of US aggression.

General Wesley Clark. Retired 4-star U.S. Army general, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the 1999 War on Yugoslavia .

Today we spend the hour with General Wesley Clark, the retired four-star general. He was the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Kosovo War. In 2004 he unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. He recently edited a series of books about famous U.S. generals including Dwight Eisenhower and Ulysses Grant – both of whom became president after their military careers ended.

 Well for the rest of the hour we are going to hear General Wesley Clark on the possibility of a U.S. attack on Iran, the impeachment of President Bush, the use of cluster bombs, the bombing of Radio Television Serbia during the Kosovo War and much more. I interviewed Wesley Clark on Tuesday at the 92nd Street Y in New York.

Are We About to Attack Iran?

John Bolton is gone from the White House, yet war with Iran is suddenly imminent. I had begun to believe irony was dead.

 “[Bolton] calls for the preemptive bombing of Iran with dreary regularity during his many Fox News appearances,” I wrote after he became Donald Trump’s national security adviser in March of 2018, “and has labored for years to arrange the proper set of circumstances that would allow Tehran to be rendered into a pile of rubble.”

I was actually foolish enough to indulge in a brief moment of optimism after Bolton was unceremoniously shown the door last week. There was talk of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo taking on Bolton’s role like some dual use neo-Kissinger, but that idea guttered out quickly. Trump could replace Bolton with Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, I told myself, and war with Iran — the issue over which Bolton reportedly lost his gig — would still be less likely. It felt like a tiny reprieve in a chaotic age.

Yeah, about that.
