https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/06/29/pers-j29.htmlBiden’s bombing of Iraq and Syria: the normalization of war>Two decades after the start of an invasion and occupation that claimed the lives of a million Iraqis, the US is still attacking the region as it prepares for far wider wars.I think this is a panicked reaction to hybrid war gone bad for the bases set among seething populations, and protected by Kurd sepoys who greatly offend Erdogan in Turkey. The American tanks are routinely stopped by village children. Really. The local tribes suffer indignity from the Kurds , and wow vengeance.
Of late , the Iraq forces established by the Revolutionary Guards who have just seized power in Iran , have launched drone attacks that evade the Patriot and other systems. Some landed just yesterday. This is an untenable position, sort of like the old flic, "Beau Geste"
Leon Trotsky.Criticism of the Program of the Comintern:
“We cannot enter into a consideration of the problem of the time of the American crisis and its possible depth. …. For us, of course, the inevitability of a crisis is absolutely unquestionable and, considering the present world expansion of American capitalism, its great depth and sharpness is not excluded. … in a critical epoch the hegemony of the United States will prove even more complete, more open, more ruthless, than in the period of boom. The United States will try to overcome and get out of its difficulties and helplessness primarily at the expense of Europe …”
Or Serbia, or Iraq, or Syria, or Libya, … Australia, Canada…
