I maybe have one but I don't disagree with you, that they fund much of their covert operations by running a worldwide illicit drug cartel. It can be argued even that indirectly serves the elites' purpose by helping preserve the agency's existence and infiltration powers. It's a criminal organization by charter, above all laws everywhere.
I'd love to hear it, actually. Be nice to know that not literally every single thing they do is working towards a crime against humanity.
I probably sound sarcastic, but I am not. I seem to be in the minority of Americans who is constantly aware that our high quality of life almost invariably comes from someone's else's suffering.
Drop Site is rapidly establishing itself as the vanguard of what investigative journalism should be. Your work should be a wake up to news platforms worldwide.
Yeah, you know what China is not doing? They're not militarily occupying huge chunks of other sovereign nations for bases (Iraq) or to steal petroleum (Syria). They're also not using drones from neighboring countries, on multiple continents, to terrorize whole civilian populations on a daily basis. When you throw around terms like China's "strategic interests" and "global military strategy, " you make it sound like China just wants to do to the world what empire's currently doing. :(
May the peaceful Belt-and-Road Initiative replace empire's gunboat-diplomacy for "democracy," everywhere.
Hegemony is overrated. Learning to share and collaborate may actually bring more benefits to the people of the US, rather than benefit only the establishment who won't share domestically either.
Great international-news reporting. Not just the facts but the unflinching analysis of their implications, and of what caused what to happen. International-news reporting that's of this high quality is extremely rare.
Agree it's pretty good for a Western perspective. And it is still just a Western perspective - a projection of what the West would do if they were China, an unexamined assumption about the "superiority" of the Western ideas about how the world should work, a tyranny of Western ideas over other civilisations with different needs and circumstances.
So surprising that the USA would be meddling in another country's issues and not forthcoming with the agreed arrangement for IMF assistance, which no doubt is run behind the scenes by the USA! The USA has exported ruination, corruption, destabilization, drug dealing and Grand Resource Theft to to many country's around the world, too numerous to name. Understanding that there will be reprisals from USA, the trapped Pakistanis don't know what to do. And I'm not saying there's not plenty of corruption to go around in Pakistan, but the USA has elevated and encouraged it everywhere and made it the law of the land!
The US projects too much. Just because the US establishment most definitely would want US military bases all over the world to control populations with no say in how US treats them, it doesn't mean everyone else prioritise offensive military bases over trade. China made contact with Africa before Europe landed on the Americas, yet China did not colonise Africa - unlike Europe's brutal colonisation of the whole of the Americas, Africa, Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Asia Pacifics.
Look in the mirror if you're going to critise others. It's just as likely the ugly image you see is your own reflection. What a waste of human effort to be instigating conflicts and waging wars instead of collaborating to solve common problems and respecting each other's unique circumstances that necessitate different strategies to good governance and improving people's lives.
Wonder why the policy makers in US do not learn from there experiences of past and not back unpopular undemocratic corrupt regimes. This is a doomed policy it has never worked and never will despite wasting trillions of tax payers money on propping up tyrants
It is because the U.S. regime's coups don't replace "unpopular undemocratic corrupt regimes" but instead installs them in order to replace democratic Governments that refuse to take orders from it. So, I think that you grant too much credibility to U.S.-and-'allied' (or U.S. empire) 'news'-media and to the paid-off academics they quote as 'experts'.
China's economy is dependent on industrial production and energy resources are essential to sustain and develop the industry.
America knows very well that; The most important route for China to bring oil to China is through the Strait of Malacca. China also knows that; A spear can be run on this vein at any time.
Therefore, apart from taking oil and gas from Russia, China had planned to secure itself by laying pipelines through the Rakhine pipeline in Myanmar and the CPEC project in Pakistan.
China has invested heavily in Myanmar's Rakhine region. By 2013, China had laid an oil pipeline that connects Myanmar's port of Kyaukphyu on the Bay of Bengal to Kunming, a city in China's Yunnan province.
Through this pipeline, China can transfer crude oil brought by ships from the Middle East and Africa to its country without passing through the Strait of Malacca, which the US can easily close in case of a crisis.
But America is and will continue to compete with China everywhere. The South China Sea region may lead to a third world war because of the conflict between the US and China, but also because of Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
In the event of a conflict between America and China in the South China Sea, it will be difficult for China to supply oil due to American control over the Malacca Strait. Rather, the American fleet will be a barrier to the access of oil from the Arab countries to China in the Strait of Malacca.
Therefore, in the event of a conflict between America and China in the South China Sea, the supply of oil to China will be through the Myanmar port of Kyaukphyu located in the Bay of Bengal to the city of Kunming in China's Yunnan Province. Or it can be possible through the route from Gwadar to Kashgar through Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area.
China will try to transport oil from Gwadar to Kashgar. America will try not to let oil go from Gwadar to Kashgar.
That is why Pakistan is a target of America. Especially the areas of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through which the pipeline will pass to Kashgar.
Which countries of the Arabian Sea located in the Indian Ocean will give oil to China?
1. According to international law, selling or not selling oil to China is an internal and commercial matter of the Arabian Sea countries located in the Indian Ocean.
2. According to international law, allowing or not allowing the delivery of oil from Gwadar to Kashgar is an internal and commercial matter of Pakistan.
From Gwadar to Kashgar, the game of going and not going off oil is going on. This is the game of China, America, Pakistan, Iran and Arab countries. This game started in 2015 and will peak from 2025 to 2030.
By 2030, China's economy and military might surpass America. Therefore, America has time until 2030 that;
1. Either prevent China from encroaching on the Indian Ocean through the CPEC project.
2. Or roll up from the Indian Ocean.
Rather, what needs to be done is better if it is done by 2025. Because by 2025, the difference between the economy and the strength of the armies of America and China will be reduced. Therefore, after 2025, America's loss in confrontation with China will be more.
What is the last option left for America to stop China from reaching the Indian Ocean?
After 9/11 America along with the United Nations had camped in Afghanistan since 2000. But after the United Nations withdrew from Afghanistan in 2014, America had 2 options;
1. Like the United Nations, America would have left Afghanistan and gone back. But in this case, Russia would have again started implementing its long-standing plan to reach warmer waters after establishing its foothold in Afghanistan.
2. Despite the departure of the United Nations, America would have remained in Afghanistan and would have continued its mission without the United Nations by forming its own patronised governments in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
America followed Option 2 and remained in Afghanistan even after the United Nations withdrew from Afghanistan in 2014. So apart from Afghanistan, by creating its patronised government in Pakistan too;
1. For preventing Russia from its long-standing plan to reach warmer waters through Afghanistan.
2. For preventing China from reaching the Indian Ocean through the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan regions of Pakistan.
However, China, Russia and anti-American countries did not allow the US-led government to remain in Afghanistan.
On August 15, 2021, the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan and by August 31, 2021, American forces withdrew from Afghanistan.
China was the first country which pledges $31 million in emergency humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan.
On March 31, 2022, in the meeting of the foreign ministers of the neighbouring countries held in the city of Tongzhi beside China, Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran and Pakistan, also participated Taliban officials.
Although Americans camped in Afghanistan since 2000 after 9/11. But through the Chief of Army Staff, General Pervez Musharraf, who was the dictator of the Pakistan Army from 1999 to 2008, Americans started to create its patronised elements in the Pakistan Army as well.
After the Taliban recaptured power in Afghanistan, America did not only withdraw American forces from Afghanistan until August 31, 2021. Rather, America also started losing the supremacy of its patronised elements in the Pakistan Army as well, created in the Pakistan Army through General Pervez Musharraf. That is why the American backed government under the leadership of Imran Khan could not survive in Pakistan on April 9, 2022.
Despite pursuing Option No. 2, America could not prevent the CPEC agreement from happening on April 20, 2015. Neither American-backed Imran Khan-led government, installed in Pakistan in 2018, completely succeeded in scraping the CPEC plan to reach China in warm waters. Neither America succeeded in staying in Afghanistan. Therefore, the implementation of the CPEC project has started again.
Ahead of the CPEC agreement during the Chinese President's visit to Pakistan on April 20, 2015;
1. There was a conspiracy by America to separate Karachi from Pakistan and make it a free port through the Urdu-speaking Indian refugees of Sindh. But on August 22, 2016, after the operation of the paramilitary forces against the MQM by declaring the MQM an enemy of the country and banning the Urdu-speaking Indian refugee political mafia MQM, Urdu-speaking Indian refugees did not have the power to plot to separate Karachi from Pakistan and make it a free port.
2. There was a conspiracy by America to build its bases by making Balochistan an independent country through the Baloch people. So that, by sending reinforcements to its patronised government in Afghanistan from Balochistan, America should be able to block the way of Russia and also to keep away China from reaching warmer waters. But after the agreement of CPEC on April 20, 2015, Gwadar Sea Port has also been built by China and road construction is also going on in Balochistan. Therefore, no conspiracy will be allowed to succeed by the security forces of Pakistan in Balochistan.
3. In the northern areas of Pakistan, the task of creating obstacles in the way of China by patronizing the Pathans was being done by America for a long time. So that, by erecting obstacles in the area located at the gate of China, China should be stopped at the gate of China before reaching warmer waters. However, after the agreement of CPEC on April 20, 2015, the work of building roads is also going on in the northern areas of Pakistan. Therefore, no conspiracy will be allowed to succeed by the security forces of Pakistan in northern areas.
4. Conspiracies to put the Punjabi nation in political; social, administrative, financial and, economic problems and to divide Punjab by inciting Saraiki conspiracy through Baloch and Arabic background residents of South Punjab were also carried out by America.
So that, the plan of America to stop China from reaching the Indian Ocean could not be resisted by the Punjabi nation. But the situation at the moment is that for America;
1. The Urdu-speaking Indian immigrants who conspired to separate Karachi from Pakistan and make it a free port are useless.
2. The Baloch who are plotting to make Balochistan an independent country are also useless.
3. The Pathans who are doing terrorist activities in the northern areas of Pakistan are not useful.
4. To put the Punjabi nation in political; social, administrative, financial and, economic problems and to divide Punjab by inciting Saraiki conspiracy through Baloch and Arabic background residents of South Punjab is also ineffective.
The last option left for America to prevent China from setting up camp in the Indian Ocean is that;
1. Punjabis should be put on the path to create a "Greater Punjab" comprising Indian Occupied Kashmir and Indian Occupied Punjab plus Pakistani Punjab, Sindh and Karachi.
2. Indian Occupied Kashmir and Indian Occupied Punjab should be liberated from Indian occupation by America to create a "Greater Punjab" and Punjabis should be convinced to keep away from the hot water game of America, Russia and China in Pashtun areas of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Otherwise, if China started to support the Punjabi nation and to solve the problem of religious places for Sikh Punjabis and river water for Muslim Punjabis by liberating Indian Occupied Kashmir as well as the Indian Occupied Punjab from Indian occupation and included in Pakistani Punjab to unify the original Punjab of Maharaja Ranjit Singh from Delhi to Peshawar and from Kashmir to Kashmore then;
To make Karachi a free port through Urdu-speaking Indian refugees, to make Balochistan an independent country through the Baloch, to terrorize the northern areas of Pakistan with Pathans, to divide Punjab by inciting Saraiki conspiracy through Baloch and Arabic background residents of South Punjab would not be beneficial for America.
While Baloch areas of Balochistan, Pashtun areas of Balochistan and Pakhtun areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will also remain with Punjab. By which Pakistan will become wider and stronger instead of being small and weak. In this situation, America will not be able to stop China from securing Gwadar to Kashghar energy and communication corridors and setting up camps in the Indian Ocean.
Im surprised that this article doesn’t provide a little more context on the longstanding arrangements with Pakistani military going back to the 1970s and the 1980s running the Afghan militias, on the one hand, and Pakistans nuclear program and its rivalry with India and relationship with Saudi Arabia. Between nukes, India, the Middle East, and China, the US cannot afford to ditch the Pakistani military as a partner.
US complaining about the treatment of Khan's supporters while having "encouraged" the ousting and jailing of Khan in the first place. Is there anything/anywhere the USA meddles with that doesn't end up as an explosive pile of merde?
i think the pakistanis generals always doomed to fail like yehya khan. They are corrupt and make money and settle in europe or elsewhere..they fuck their country for dollar.
It is so ironic that when we watch shows like Nikita, where the CIA and the American political clique manipulate events to line their pockets, we think it is a fiction after all, I am afraid it is not, Pakistan's military Junta is the most influential cartel in the world, the weapons which they laid their hands on, over the course of the Afghan war, millions of Kalashnikovs and other weapons, are being supplied to terrorist groups, militias and para-militaries and cartels , as well third world criminal governments, causing loss of life all around. They should have been cleaned out long time ago, but the corrupt media and the utterly amoral literate class in Pakistan has built a holy aura around the military as if they are Prophet's warriors, thus blind folding the wide-eyed average Pakistani. These Junta members have no sense of democracy or rule of law, only the rule of graft and illicit gained opportunity.
It looks to me, unfortunately, we're getting ready to attack China. Adjusting supply lines to manufacturing locally, maneuvering to maintain our Empire's mono polar world instead of the more democratic multi polar world that's coming. Very unfortunate; we'll be lucky to survive IMO.
Always remember - the CIA exists for no other reason than destroying any outbreaks of democracy that would interfere with elite profits.
As always, I would ask anyone who disagrees with me to provide an example of them doing anything that doesn't serve this purpose.
No one has. Not one.
I maybe have one but I don't disagree with you, that they fund much of their covert operations by running a worldwide illicit drug cartel. It can be argued even that indirectly serves the elites' purpose by helping preserve the agency's existence and infiltration powers.
