This Korean conflict is clearly a US
provocation employed as an
advanced marketing planning
technique for the military industrial
complex. Someone might have
whispered last week in Washington
that defense spending might come
under review and this is the
reaction. Quibbling over who
started what just gives cover to all
those who benefit financially from
war or the threat of war. It is
important to remember that the
goal of US foreign policy is not
conflict resolution or myths about
democracy and freedom but simply
the preservation of the military and
economic interests that facilitate
the advancement of empire.

Anyone who thinks this whole Korean conflict wasn’t US made is an idiot. This is a classic case of false-flag State sponsored terrorism. The only major kind in the world.

Matter Miller seems to the only one on the panel that cannot express an option on
the war in Afghanistan. Name for the middle? How about the capitulating
mindless split the difference middle.
