“One might well ask whether the military thought of Carl von Clausewitz, developed over a hundred and seventy years ago, has anything relevant to offer to soldiers of the 21st century. Indeed, one author has recently argued that Clausewitz's wake is long overdue: "[Future] war will be fought not to pursue national interests, but to kill enemy leaders, to convert opponents to one's religion, to obtain booty, or sometimes, for simple entertainment.” excerpt from Antulio J. Echevarria II
“Clausewitz used several historical examples to illustrate how policy and political forces have shaped war from antiquity to the modern age. His discussions in the chapter on "The Scale of the Objective" include the vastly different yet profoundly similar wars of conquest and plunder carried out by the semi-nomadic Tartars (or Tatars) and those of expansion prosecuted by Napoleon.” excerpt from Antulio J. Echevarria II
Once you are able to distinguish the semantic arguments of Echevarria over the German interpretation of Politik used by Clausewitz, we are able to see some light in Putin’s indictment of George Bush. Now we all know that Putin, an ex-KGB official, is subject to extreme skepticism because of he’s known acumen in political propaganda, but who would be a more perfect mark to prosecute a politically driven conflict against. Some points in of brilliance in a Bush/Rice Conspiracy Theory:
- 1. Nobody in their right mind would begin to believe that a standing U.S. President would send orders to attack interest of a former Cold War enemy with nuclear volatility looming throughout the east.
- 2. There would be too much of a risk for exposure of personal energy interests owned by top U.S. Officials in the current administration.
- 3. How retarded would it be to prosecute a police action to help John McCain win an election bid for the Presidency? Its absurd to think Republicans would go this far to challenge Obama’s foreign policy experience???
- 4. Points 2 and 3 would constitute war crimes and add to Bush and Cheney’s charges stemming from Afghanistan and Iraq.
- 5. Putin is ex-KGB and Russian, who would believe this idot?
The sad fact is that Putin is not an idiot, he is a Russian Patriot trying to rebuild a country that Reagan and Daddy Bush stole from him many years ago. He has every right to be paranoid. The truth is that the Republican elite have used police actions or RMA’s to gain control of natural resources and economic strongholds all across the globe over the past 4 decades. The most memorable and only because it became exposed was the Iran-Contra Conflict, selling cocaine to buy guns to over throw a government to control shipping lanes in South America, and Daddy Bush’s fingerprints all over it, full circle to 2003, after creating an event to cause the warranted invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq for the purpose of controlling a country’s natural resources. Everyone and their cousin knows that there is oil and natural gas in the Black and Caspian seas and that since the U.S. energy crisis in the mid 1970’s the U.S. has prosecuted conflicts to control the region.
This is classic Bush Family politics and Putin just maybe telling the truth. George Jr. has no chance of a great legacy as a past U.S President, and rape, robbing and killing is a dirty job. Why not make a little more scratch on the way out. Michael Moore exposed the U.S. led private equity firms that financed energy companies in Russia’s back door and leaving Putin out of the money. As for the Georgian Conflict being staged for McCain, I say Wag The Damn Dog!!!
