Comrades, I have been laughing since I bumped into this article around 5am

Kindly join me to laugh at the stupidity & foolishness of Amerika

The report said, “Maintaining a military advantage over China and Russia is now Defense Secretary Mattis' top priority.”

A mission impossible - and a recipe for socio-economic suicide in Amerika, if you ask me

On January 18th, the Trump Administration had issued its crucial document about how it will implement America’s national defense from now on.

This document, the National Defense Strategy 2018, represents a continuation of US President Barack Obama’s vision and intentions, but extends Obama’s hostility toward Russia, by adding Trump’s hostility toward China.

In December 2017, US President Donald Trump had issued his National Security Strategy 2018 (the NSS2018); but, in keeping with his prior commitment to leaving to the generals the implementation of his national security policy, the Pentagon has now issued this National Defense Strategy 2018 (the NDS2018), which is signed only by Trump’s minister for war (Secretary of ‘Defense’), “Jim Mattis”; and it’s considerably more informative on what the practical meaning of NSS2018 will be.

The meaning is: the replacement of hostility against “radical Islamic terrorism,” by hostility against Russia and China — this, the building upon Obama’s imperial vision, is now Trump’s ‘Defense’ policy.
 

Trump’s campaign talk against ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ was merely bumper-sticker stuff, to win votes.

In continuation from Obama's National Security Strategy 2015, which had accused Russia 18 times of “aggression,” Trump’s National Defense Strategy 2018 (NDS2018) effectively declares at least an economic war against Russia (as if economics were also in General Mattis’s portfolio), but it goes even further to include China as being now also America’s enemy.

[i]It thus officially restores, in effect, the Cold War — the war against communism — that had existed until US President Richard Nixon’s visit to China, during 21 to 28 February 1972. It also intensifies the war against Russia, even now, 37 years after the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union and end of its Warsaw Pact and end of its communism, had ended the Cold War (but only on Russia’s side, not really on America’s).

Trump’s new document (through his agent Mattis) says that non-state terrorism (Al Qaeda, etc.) is no longer the biggest threat to America’s security; these two “authoritarian” nations pose the biggest threat to America, says the NDS2018.

This document asserts: “It is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model — gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions.” (“Authoritarian” is now what “communist” once was — the US Government’s verbal bugaboo and America’s official excuse for invasions and coups.)

It continues:

The central challenge to US prosperity and security is the reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by what the National Security Strategy classifies as revisionist powers. It is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model — gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions.
 
China is leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce neighboring countries to reorder the Indo-Pacific region to their advantage.

Before nko? What were the Amerikan bastards expecting?

As China continues its economic and military ascendance, asserting power through an all-of-nation long-term strategy, it will continue to pursue a military modernization program that seeks Indo-Pacific regional hegemony in the near-term and displacement of the United States to achieve global preeminence in the future.

Concurrently, Russia seeks veto authority over nations on its periphery in terms of their governmental, economic, and diplomatic decisions, to shatter the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and change European and Middle East security and economic structures to its favor.

These bastards running Amerika have really lost it.

The use of emerging technologies to discredit and subvert democratic processes in Georgia, Crimea, and eastern Ukraine is concern enough, but when coupled with its expanding and modernizing nuclear arsenal the challenge is clear.

It then says, “Rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran are destabilizing regions through their pursuit of nuclear weapons or sponsorship of terrorism.” So: those four countries — China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran — are now the top targets for the US military to defeat.

Less I forget, where's that Nairalander that once said Trump curbed Kim-Jong's aggression? wherever you are, just be banging your empty skull against your wall.

The NDS2018 document continues, “Both revisionist powers and rogue regimes are competing across all dimensions of power. They have increased efforts short of armed conflict by expanding coercion to new fronts, violating principles of sovereignty, exploiting ambiguity, and deliberately blurring the lines between civil and military goals.”

Meanwhile, Right now, Amerika is militarily occupying, as an uninvited invading power violating the sovereignty of parts of the sovereign nation of Syria, whose internationally recognized (except by the US and its vassal-states) Government is the one that had won internationally monitored elections in 2014, and whose incumbent President Bashar al-Assad won, in those elections, 89% of the vote throughout the entire country.


Does hypocrisy have any other name aside Amerika?

Even independent Western-sponsored polling in Syria has repeatedly shown that Assad would easily win any national election in his country, and that 82% of Syrians blame the US Government (not Assad) for having brought the tens of thousands of jihadists into their country and caused the Syrian war that destroyed the nation.

On 31 October 2015, U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-Moon twice criticized US President Barack Obama’s refusal to allow the Syrian people to determine whom their President would be. Ban said, “The future of Assad must be determined by the Syrian people,” but the US Government kept ignoring him on that; and US President Trump’s minister of war now says that the way to defeat countries that are “violating principles of sovereignty” is to continue occupying countries that never invited them in.

Under the heading “Build a More Lethal Force,” the NDS2018 document says, "The surest way to prevent war is to be prepared to win one.” To do this, it will rely on “the Joint Force” (which the document fails to define) in this way:

Prioritize preparedness for war. Achieving peace through strength requires the Joint Force to deter conflict through preparedness for war. During normal day-to-day operations, the Joint Force will sustainably compete to: deter aggression in three key regions — the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and Middle East; degrade terrorist and WMD threats; and defend US interests from challenges below the level of armed conflict. In wartime, the fully mobilized Joint Force will be capable of: defeating aggression by a major power; deterring opportunistic aggression elsewhere; and disrupting imminent terrorist and WMD threats. During peace or in war, the Joint Force will deter nuclear and non-nuclear strategic attacks and defend the homeland. To support these missions, the Joint Force must gain and maintain information superiority; and develop, strengthen, and sustain US security relationships.

The document sub-heads “Strengthen Alliances and Attract New Partners,” and says, "By working together with allies and partners we amass the greatest possible strength for the long-term advancement of our interests, maintaining favorable balances of power that deter aggression and support the stability that generates economic growth.” This includes "Fortify the Trans-Atlantic NATO Alliance” but is global.

Comrades, do you not understand this statement above?

Amerika is looking for more partners & allies to help her fight Mother Russia & China. Hahahahahahaaa!

This document thus actually embodies, but in some ways extends and amplifies, US President Barack Obama’s 28 May 2014 statement to America’s graduating class at the West Point Military Academy:

The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation. That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come. … Russia’s aggression toward former Soviet states unnerves capitals in Europe, while China’s economic rise and military reach worries its neighbors. From Brazil to India, rising middle classes compete with us, and governments seek a greater say in global forums. … It will be your generation’s task to respond to this new world.

To Obama, all nations other than the US — even America’s allies — are “dispensable”; only the US is not.


Hitler’s version was “Deutschland über alles”; and, like Amerika’s version, it comes from the accepted popular culture, not from the imperialist’s own overheated imagination. In fact, Americans respect the military above all other institutions — more than all the rest of the Government — just like Germans did, leading up to Hitler. And, just like Donald Trump himself does. Amerika isn’t Athens; it is Sparta.

As I had previously noted under the headline "Trump Continues Obama’s Wars Against Democracy”: “He was telling the military that America’s economic competition, against the BRICS nations, is a key matter for America’s military, and not only for America’s private corporations.”

However, even General Mattis has now acknowledged that one important component of achieving this global empire will be to “Strengthen Alliances and Attract New Partners,” which now seems less likely under Trump than it was under Obama.

Perhaps the Trump Administration will try to compensate for that area of increasing US weakness, by increasing even more its weaponry and troop-numbers. 

Here, to close, are highlights from Secretary Mattis’s speech, on January 19th, introducing NDS2018:

This defense strategy was framed ... by President Trump's National Security Strategy. … It is, as was noted by the dean, our nation's first National Defense Strategy in 10 years....

We will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists that we are engaged in today, but Great Power competition, not terrorism, is now the primary focus of US national security.…

We face growing threats from revisionist powers as different as China and Russia are from each other, nations that do seek to create a world consistent with their authoritarian models, pursuing veto authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic and security decisions.

Rogue regimes like North Korea and Iran persist in taking outlaw actions that threaten regional and even global stability. Oppressing their own people and shredding their own people's dignity and human rights, they push their warped views outward.…

We're going to build a more lethal force. We will strengthen our traditional alliances and building new partnerships with other nations.…

The second line of effort I noted was to strengthen alliances as we build new partnerships, as well. … History proves that nations with allies thrive.

Gentlemen, the motive of this balderdash is clear.

War is coming! And it is coming from Amerika. The war on terror hasn’t been profitable enough. The Amerikan MIC insist, demand & crave a BIG war.

The United Snakes of Amerika demands control over everywhere, so claiming Russia & China are doing something unacceptable is laughable & pathetic.

When nations revert to military threats & policies as their first choice in international matters, then they are over reaching and courting defeat and disaster.

The United Snakes of Amerika already has much murder & mayhem to answer for.

Bad Karma is what is knocking on her door.

Every time the Amerikan military or CIA kills someone in the Middle East or elsewhere, she makes another hundred enemies.

These enemies are growing by leaps & bounds and are not going away. One day they will have their revenge and it will be terrible!

No one believes a word Amerika says any more…. except, ofcourse the ignoramuses on Nairaland who are desperately craving Amerika's useless visa

Jim Mattis (Trump's Minister for War) is a man with a big mouth and a small brain - looking for bribes from the merchants of death.

And death will they get from the barrel of Mother Russia's nuclear launchers if they pursue this nonsensical agenda

Errhm! Missy89, ValerianSteel (KIA), CSTR1000, Mazeltovscotty, Bookface abi na Facebook

Your thoughts!

America is nothing more than Benin Rep
USA is good at bully defendless Nations and her empire is falling fast.

Thank God for Putin

@ op why can't the Russia federation face the USA without using a nuclear bomb, if they nuke the USA, the USA will also nuke them.

Omololu2121:

How? You mean Russia should just declare war on Amerika for no just reason?

No! It isn't done that way. While Amerika has been acting provocatively to drag Russia into war; Russia & China are busy stifling the Amerikan economy via the slow death of the "PetroDollar".

CIA shot down the Malaysian MH-17 over the Ukrainian sky - and tried bkaming it on Russia, It did not work.

Amerika instigated Turkey to shoot down a Russian fighter jet in Syria - expecting Russia to react aggressively, It did not work.

Trump fired 59 Tomahawk cruisemissiles into the Russian tent in Syria expecting to trigger a war from Russia, but Pantsir-S1 & Krasukha-4 fried the missiles & diverted them into the caspian sea - leaving only 13 hitting the runway full of de-commissioned aircrafts. Hahahahahaaa!

Even old allies are deserting the "Snake" and forging military ties with the Bear - seeing how formidable & sophisticated she has become

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Amerika thought Russia could never bounce back - calling her "rusty old bucket" but alas! The perfumed militarily generals in the Pentagon are frightened to death each time Mother Russia test-fires an hypersonic missile e.g Zircon

We are only patiently waiting for the United Snakes of Amerika to make a stupid mistake of launching an invasion into North Korea like she did to Iraq & Libya - and then everything in Amerika will be fried like plantain & egg

How many NATO member states do you think are willing to risk nuclear bombardment from Mother Russia & North Korea's Submarines?

Judging from how most of them voted against Amerika during the UN resolution on Jerusalem, I trust all of them - except Israel & Britain, will maintain neutrality

Amerika is a paper tiger living on past glory. The balance of power has since shifted to the East.

Military wise, no Country can match Mother Russia. Economically, China is number 1

If Amerika attacks Russia, China, Iran or even North Korea, she will explode. If she doesn't, she will implode. Go figure!

Mouth sealed

It is regrettably lugubrous that America is still hell bent on world domination when it is becoming clearer that once the first shot is fired, most of its allies will turn their back on Uncle Sam. From what has happened in Syria, US military planners have come to understand that Article 5 of the Nationalized American Terrorist Organization (NATO) only exist on paper where a major power is involved. Hence, the need to search for more allies, as stated in the NDS2018.

America's traditional allies are now buying Russian made weapons: thanks to the Syrian brouhaha that open their eyes to reality. And for those who have been bedwetting in their warp imagination of a 28 member state body taking on Russia, consider what Australia did in Syria and you will be saving yourself the delusion by waking out of your sick dream.

So what really happened?

Immediately Russia declared that it would "target all coalition planes" flying west of the Euphrate, after the downing of a Syrian fighter jet by US forces, Australia quickly declared an end to all flying campaign in Syria. Because they understand the REALITY that this is Russia, not Iraq or Libya.

Now think about it: if such a powerful ally like Australia would abandon the US in the face of a minor confrontation, what do you think would happen when all out war breaks out? I guess you already know the answer.

They and many more will simply declare neutrality, and the only ally America would have standing will be Britain. If you are expecting France, Spain or Greece to attack Russia, you will have to wait till the third coming of Jesus Christ.

Now you know why America is seeking more allies, but unfortunately, there are no more or better allies in the Middle East (they all hate America), in Europe (disagreement over sanctions alone is enough to tell you what will happen during a major war), in Asia (Japan will never forget Hiroshima,) in Africa (no allies) and in South or North America (Mexico will shut its doors against Uncle Sam while Argentina would be seeking its pound of flesh against Britain).

Alois Irlmaier and many other seers have seen it already.

It is goodbye to America.

US missile defense test fails in Hawaii – officials

US missile defense test fails in Hawaii – officials
FILE PHOTO © US.
A US missile defence test carried out in Hawaii was unsuccessful, according to officials.
A SM-3 Block IIA missile was launched from an Aegis Ashore test site in Hawaii, but failed to shoot down an incoming dummy missile launched from an aircraft. CNN also reported on the failure, сiting several administration officials.

The missile is developed by the Raytheon Co and is used to target intermediate range missiles. It’s being worked on jointly with Japan.

US must modernize & rebuild its nuclear arsenal to deter any aggression
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) did not comment on the outcome of the test, but confirmed that one had taken place. "The Missile Defense Agency and US Navy sailors manning the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) conducted a live-fire missile flight test using a Standard-Missile (SM)-3 Block IIA missile launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, Wednesday morning," Mark Wright, a spokesman for the MDA said.

The Pentagon has not publicly acknowledged the failure, however. If the failure is confirmed, it will mark the second unsuccessful test of the missile in the past year. In June, an intercept test also failed following a previous successful test in February.

North Korea, meanwhile, has ramped up its missile test launches. In September, it carried out its sixth and most powerful nuclear test yet.

During his first State of the Union address Wednesday, president Donald Trump said Pyongyang's nuclear and missile program could “very soon” pose an acute danger to the US.

“As part of our defense, we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal, hopefully never having to use it, but making it so strong and so powerful that it will deter any acts of aggression by any other nation or anyone else,” he said.

Hahahahahahahaaaaaa! Amerika had better order Russia's 30year-old S-125 SAM (The type Serbia used in shooting down Amerika's overrated B2-Spirit & F-117 fighter jet in 1999) so that, atleast she will have a functioning Air Defense System in case my best friend (Kim Jong-Un) decides to teach Trump & his foolish war Generals a very bitter lesson

Where are all the Amerikan fan boyz on Nairaland?

Savagery at its peak...

Restoring cold war is like living in the past.. It sounds like Myspace trying to take over again from Facebook... Mission impossible !!! There is new trend going on now and that is Russia in all its ramifications. Anyone ever heard of Ethereum contracts and ICOs using these contracts to generate capital ?
New trend. Let me remind Yankees that the brain behind Ethereum is a Russian Guy after the successful achievement of Bitcoins by Satoshi Nakamoto..

Now Facebook I mentioned above has declared war on ICO, set to ban any account promoting ICOs.. This is again another failure of the Empire's last Economic hope. Going against new technology that gives power finally to the masses.. We are such in a very different world now. Same in the military aspect. It's really sad and laughable to watch empire of yesterday die slowly but steadily. I laugh in swahili

Wow. What a great way to go the way of crypto and ditching the petrol dollar. Even some experts in Russia are also considering this, and even proposing it to the government. I think poorer nations like Nigeria and other African countries should do the same.

Crypto is one sure way of overcoming inflation and deflation at the same time. The rate at which it is going in success, some governments will soon fade out.

If Venezuela succeed with that move, it would portends a serious threat to the petrol dollars, as the likes of Iran would simply follow suit.

America only shows aggression during cold wars, bring in hot war to their doorsteps and the will cowardly avoid confrontations.
