The US has no other option than war...

Editor's note: The US plan now is to arm Taiwan to the hilt to create another Ukraine in Taipei as the US prepares another proxy war this time against China. Brilliant. Deflect American anger towards China as US weapon salesmen head to Taiwan. An interesting insight as to what is going on in Taiwan is the microprocessor chip manufacturer TSMC the US cannot afford to allow to slip into China's hands. So why did Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet dump his TSMC stocks? Is a potential war one of Buffet's concerns? Apparently so. The global microprocessor chip market dwarfs other markets in comparison projected to grow from $573.44 billion in 2022 to $1,380.79 billion by 2029. Because of this huge global market, TSMC plans to hire an additional 6,000 engineers in 2023. The US has its ass in a sling because manufacturing costs for chips in Taiwan are far less expensive than they would be in the US. And TSMC has made it clear the company is not moving out of Taiwan, so the US will send its carrier battle groups to defend TSMC sitting 100 miles off China's coast.

The coming war on China: the real target are the American people

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison

By Alex Krainer | April 15, 2023

Empire's proxy war on Russia is rapidly coming to a head in Ukraine and the imperial guard might urgently need a new war. Their next target is China and once more we witness a relentless escalation of provocations and hostility. In his Wall Street Journal column this week, former National Security Advisor John Bolton laid out his "grand strategy" to confront Russia and China. His genius idea is to give Taiwan "much more military aid” from western nations and "embed Taipei into collective-defense structures."

Preparations for war

Bolton's warmongering is only the last in the long sequence of proclamations by US officials indicating the direction of their foreign policy. Last month, U.S. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) that the United States has "to prepare, to be prepared to fight and win that war" against China. This is not just idle talk: they really are preparing.

On Sunday, 10 January, Lieutenant General James Bierman, the commanding general of the Third Marine Expeditionary Force gave an interview to the Financial Times in which he said that his command is working hard to replicate the empire's military success (!) in Ukraine. Bierman explained that the US and its allies in Asia were recreating the groundwork that had enabled western countries to support Ukraine's resistance to Russia in preparing for scenarios such as Chinese invasion of Taiwan:

"Why have we achieved the level of success we've achieved in Ukraine? ... because after Russian aggression in 2014 and 2015, we earnestly got after preparing for future conflict: training for the Ukrainians, pre-positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate support, sustain operations. We call that setting the theatre. And we are setting the theatre in Japan, in the Philippines, in other locations."

In other words, the US is creating the same conditions to draw China into a war over Taiwan in order to replicate the success they’ve had in Ukraine. Truly, whom gods would destroy, they first make them mad.

The war addiction

Jest aside, why is the US establishment ever so keen on waging wars? Consider the finding that, "Since the end of World War II, there have been 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations around the world. The United States launched 201 overseas military operations between the end of World War II and 2001, and since then, others, including Afghanistan and Iraq."

Stated otherwise, one nation has launched more than 80% of all overseas military operations since WWII. Is this because the American people are so consistently belligerent? That's clearly not the case: for as long as I'd observed American politics, the people always vote for anti-war candidates. Somehow however, they always get more war. How can that be? In fact, causes of war are systemic and they emanate from the fraudulent money system that's been foisted on us all. This can't be explained in just a few paragraphs, but for all who are inclined to explore this relationship further, I summarized it in this article: "Deflationary gap and the west's war addiction."
