After 15 years of a dirty New Colonialism war in Afghanistan the
American Empire finds the country as much a Nemesis as it was for the
former Soviet Union- which invaded Afghanistan in 1980 because it did
not want a " reactionary " regime on its borders.
In 1991 the Stalinist
Soviet Union collapsed- replaced by a pro-capitalist regime. Capitalism
has failed miserably in Russia-just as in the USA : failed for all but
the economic elite.
We have forgotten the lesson of Vietnam : "
The Arrogance of Power ". You do not win hearts and minds with crimes
against humanity. Again we are on " The Eve of Destruction "
There is no working class support in the United States for more war led
by the Trump Junta-which is hardly on a higher moral level than Vladimir
Putin's Russian oligarchy.
And yet the Democratic Party leaders are cheer leading for World War III !
Fabulous wealth from the Wall St. stock market will not be enjoyed
in the nuclear ashes wasteland. I recall reading the book titled "
Hiroshima " in 1968 . Who will get to read " Boston " in 2020 ?
And now another Vietnam for the US !
