Partial #justice. No amount of money will compensate for decades of humiliation to the millions of Iraqis dead, living and unborn.

#His_story!

#Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radoslaw #Sikorski, said, “Russian President Vladimir #Putin should fear a war with #NATO.” In a chest-thumping address before the Sejm, the lower house of his country’s parliament, the former debating club champion predicted Russia’s imminent defeat should Putin dare attack.

This is how we know NATO would not stand a chance. When former Washington think tank “generals” who are not soldiers predict victory, it usually means a strategic situation is desperate. Sikorski, whose genius is revealed in the scores of photos with him and Donald #Rumsfeld, Hillary #Clinton, Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, and others, will be first on a #plane #for #Tahiti if war does break out. The potential fallout of such a conflict is so severe that he and other members of the infamous #Bilderberg Group will all jet to remote islands where the impact will be minimal. Let me explain.

"...advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool." - Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources For a New Century.

"One of the PNAC's most influential publications was a 90-page report titled Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources For a New Century. Citing the PNAC's 1997 Statement of Principles, Rebuilding America's Defenses asserted that the United States should "seek to preserve and extend its position of global leadership" by "maintaining the preeminence of U.S. military forces." The report's primary author was Giselle Donnelly, then going by the first name Thomas. Donald Kagan and Gary Schmitt are credited as project chairmen. It also lists the names of 27 other participants who contributed papers or attended meetings related to the production of the report, six of whom subsequently assumed key defense and foreign policy positions in the Bush administration"

"The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a neoconservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. that focused on United States foreign policy. It was established as a non-profit educational organization in 1997, and founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan. PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership." The organization stated that "American leadership is good both for America and for the world," and sought to build support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."

Of the twenty-five people who signed PNAC's founding statement of principles, ten went on to serve in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz. Observers such as Irwin Stelzer and Dave Grondin have suggested that the PNAC played a key role in shaping the foreign policy of the Bush Administration, particularly in building support for the Iraq War."

How #Rumsfeld Deserves to Be Remembered

He faxed pages from a biography of #CheGuevara to a U.S. Army officer in the region to prove that the growing Iraqi #resistance did not meet the definition of an #insurgency. He dismissed the insurgents as “dead-enders” and humiliated a top general who dared to call them by their true name. He insisted on keeping the number of U.S. troops in Iraq so low that much of the country soon fell to the insurgency. He focused his best effort on winning bureaucratic wars in #Washington.
