THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

US to establish naval base in Georgia

The US is negotiating with Georgia and Turkey to establish a naval base at one of the two key Georgian ports of Batumi or Poti, reports say.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Let us hope that Turkish officials have the horse-sense to just say no to this.

When Pakistan closed down the Afghanistan supply routes in retaliation for US raids which killed civilians last week, that made the US ever-more reliant on Russia for getting non-military supplies into Afghanistan.

So you'd think the logic would be that the US would at least attempt to ratchet down its provocations of Russia.

So what do we do?

Attempt to establish a naval base in Georgia!

Apparently, no one no one creating foreign policy in this country has even the most remote ability to think potential actions through to their logical conclusion.
