Eric Zuesse’s Urgent Dispatches: U.S. Nuclear-War Strategy
23 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—He was attributing to the Soviet Union the win-WW-III objective that he was advocating for the U.S. to adopt. His even deeper underlying assumption was that a war, including a nuclear war, is a contest in evilness between two sides, and that America must therefore be even more evil than he was assuming that the Soviet Union already was: that this would inevitably be a contest in hate and in psychopathy — a contest in destructiveness, and nothing more than that — and that the U.S. simply must win it.

15 minutes readBRIAN BERLETIC—Protests in Georgia consist of US-backed opposition groups (literally waving US and EU flags) attempting to block a bill to increase transparency behind political groups to reduce foreign interference. – The US has already once overthrown Georgia’s government in 2003, according to the London Guardian. By 2008 after flooding Georgia with weapons and training its military, Georgia attacked Russia, according to a [much delayed] EU investigation. The US seeks to stir up trouble in Georgia again to “extend” Russia as explained in detail by the RAND Corporation’s 2019 paper, “Extending Russia.” – The US has pressured other nations attempting to pass bills to protect against foreign interference including recently Thailand.
