Time to say goodbye to America.
And, despite the repeated moans from American TV news - and the lies - it truly is goodbye.
The U.S. decided to enter World War Two in late December and, no, it was not because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The American wealthy wanted a war before that - and the Japanese knew they did. In fact, that's why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour.
In 1941, U.S. capitalists saw British overwhelmed by the Germans. U.S. capitalists saw their golden chance. The British Empire in the far east was wide open. For American capitalists, this was a golden opportunity. They could conquer China, India, and other victims of the British Empire. In fact, they could also move into Africa and steal the very lucrative oil fields that were a major part of the British Empire.
Indeed, the U.S. could intervene and conquer the world. That, in fact, was the major wish of American capitalists - to conquer the world as the greatest empire in history.
But the Japanese were well aware of the ambitions of American capitalists. That's why they bombed Pearl Harbour. And the Japanese came close. But, in the end it was not the Americans that won the major prize. China, the great target of both sides, kicked out Chiang Kai-Shek, a corrupt leader much loved by the Americans because he was corrupt, fled to the south of China - to a small region called Taiwan. And China created the power to govern itself. It has had hard times on the way, but today's China is now a very modern and up to date China, something our news media never tell us.
Ever since 1949 and the Korean war, American capitalists have been at war to conquer and plunder just as British capitalists before them have done. In those wars the Americans have been stunningly brutal - making it a regular point to murder women and children. Indeed, in at least one African country it has been a major function of the American military to starve children and babies to death. And it routinely bombs civilians - including women and children. It even has fleets of pilotless bombers that, for years now, has been bombing women and children in countries it has never been at war with. Funny how that never makes our news.
It was over twenty years ago that George W. Bush got the not very bright idea of attacking a part of Afghanistan. It would be easy. That part of Aghanistan had just spent 20 years successfully fighting off Russia.
It would be easy. The U.S. military was the biggest and far the most expensive military in the world. (In fact, the U.S. had plunged into military spending back in 1950 or so. Conquering an exhausted and impoverished section of Afghanistan would be easy.)
The war also would feature aspects of the U.S. military. It would kill women and children -yes- it would. Killing women and children was standard practice for American armies.
Alas! The Americans overlooked another feature of their armies. For all their size and weaponry, they have not been impressive in combat. (They should have learned that in Vietnam.)
(Canada sent troops to Afghanistan, too. The Canadian Legion cheered. I have no idea why. Afghanistan in no way had attacked Canada. The Canadian troops were soon returned to Canada, having given Canadians nothing to cheer for - But Canadians cheered anyway. I have no idea why.) British troops, for no good reason have been in Afghanistan for years. Why? Well, having lost all it's own empire, Britain has to kiss American asses. That must annoy some British since it was the U.S. that stole African oil fields from Britain.
Anyway, it's clear now that that the world's biggest and richest army cannot defeat one of the world's smallest and poorist militaries.
Does that mean the U.S. will cut back on the collosal waste of money that is the American military?
No.
The importance of the vast American military is that it provides huge profits for the pentagon and its spending. Super rich Americans just love that because it gives them huge profits. That's a major reason why millions of Americans are going homeless and starving, and why millions more are living on VERY small salaries.
Meanwhile, most Americans seem to have no idea of what a vicious mess their country is. Canadians should watch for the next American move.
The U.S. is in terrible trouble with it's environment. The climate damage in the U.S. now goes far beyond California. Indeed, it goes across most of the U.S. - and all the way across in the South. Florida is not likely to survive at all. (Just recently, millions of tons of dead fish littered the Florida coast signalling the damage.) Think, too, of the terrible damage to farm produce all over the U.S. The U.S. is facing a terribly damaging agricultural disaster. So what will it do to get through the winter?
It will demand that Canada become a part of the U.S.

And Justin Trudeau will join him. Just recently, as American oil companies demanded that Trudeau (a) supply them with oil pipelines in B.C. - and as B.C. was about the feel the oil disasters that would smother it in fire and smoke - rushed down to kiss their boots, to buy all their pipelines, to run them through a B.C, to fire them with their poison gasses that have been killing us for years.....and then to give all this back to American oil bosses ---at no charge.
And that is now Canadian policy.
I knew Pierre Trudeau back about the time when Justin was born. There is no similarity between father and son. Indeed, even Justin's wacky mother has more brains than her son.
Alas! Canadians in general (like most people all over the world) have shown no intelligence in their electoral choices. The Liberals and Conservatives are, usually, corrupt and brainless. And Canadians always elect them.
In the near future, those gas pipelines in B.C. are going to shoot their cargoes in the soil and the cars of BC. The fatal carbon they produce will fall into our soil - and us as we poison - ourselves.

Well, yes, I would never vote Liberal or Conservative. I'm an historian. I know the record of those parties.
