The Pimps of War - The Chris Hedges Report

The Pimps of War - The Chris Hedges Report The Pimps of War The coterie of neocons and liberal interventionists who orchestrated two decades of military fiascos in the Middle East and who have never been held to account are now stoking a war with Russia. Comment from Todd Pierce: The only flaw in this is that this sentence is incorrect regarding Trump: "who showed no desire to start a conflict with Russia and who called the invasion of Iraq a “big, fat mistake.” As the evidence shows, and as I’ve pointed out, both are “products” of Trump’s own “Cognitive War” campaign from the 2016 election, aimed at that tiny coterie of “non-interventionist conservatives,” and those few libertarians who could (briefly) pull themselves away from advocating policies of greater Oligarch enrichment. It worked, and that delusion that Trump was about “ending the endless wars,” which he said from one side of his mouth, while with the other, promising more torture and building the “Greatest Military” ever, while completing the encirclement of Russia and China, and while carrying out military operations with Israel in Iran, persists. And we will hear multifarious, similarly contradictory messages, from Trumpites in 2024, while Republicans denounce Biden as "weak,” for not escalating/expanding the war against Russia. Which while not exclusive to them, is taken to unprecedented, ever higher levels, though the Biden administration is putting up a "good race.”
