War is their ONLY salvation

Editor's note: Does this make sense? If you are an American who is involved in US foreign policy and you object to the US corporation's military presence around the world "you are the enemy." That is according to the once Raytheon and United Technologies board member and now head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin. And has anyone else noticed there is more and more talk about a war between the US corporation and China? "A time for American leadership" to do what exactly? Provide Ukraine (Ukraine takes US aid then purchases US weapons) and Israel (when has the US corporation concerned itself with dead civilians?) with an endless supply of US weapons and munitions manufactured by Raytheon Technologies (now RTX Corporation) and United Technologies (United Technologies merged with RTX Corporation)? It's really not people like Austin making the decisions. It is vaguely known powerful decision makers like Brett McGurk who decide what countries receive US munitions and where wars are fought for war contractors like Boeing. War is their ONLY salvation:

Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin Slams American Non-Interventionists

Austin smeared people who want a less interventionist foreign policy as isolationists who want to see the US 'retreat from responsibility'

by Dave DeCamp | December 4, 2023

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has hit out at Americans who prefer a less interventionist foreign policy, smearing them as isolationists who want to see the US "retreat from responsibility."

Austin, a former Raytheon board member, made the comments in a speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California on Saturday.

"You know, in every generation, some Americans prefer isolation to engagement—and they try to pull up the drawbridge. They try to kick loose the cornerstone of American leadership," Austin said.

The Pentagon chief accused less interventionist Americans of trying to "undermine the security architecture that has produced decades of prosperity without great-power war." However, most opponents of the US involvement in Ukraine are against the policy because it risks a direct clash with Russia.

Austin has overseen the policy of pouring weapons into Ukraine, which he shortly after the Russian invasion was designed to "weaken" Russia. The US and its close NATO allies discouraged peace talks early in the war, and mounting evidence suggests the idea was to prolong the conflict.

In his rhetoric, Austin appeared to be targeting Republicans in Congress who have opposed additional funding for Ukraine, although the vast majority of GOP members against the proxy war with Russia favor funding Israel's onslaught in Gaza and the military buildup in the Asia Pacific that risks war with China.

"And you'll hear some people try to brand an American retreat from responsibility as bold new leadership. So when you hear that, make no mistake: It is not bold. It is not new. And it is not leadership," Austin said.

This is the US corporation's idea for "a time for American leadership". The number is far greater than 300,000. And what exactly has been accomplished in Ukraine with far more than 300,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers with vast quantities of weapons burned through? The number of dead, injured and missing is well over 400,000.
