The CIA and the military\/security complex are in full control of the US government. Trump has accepted his captivity and his assigned role as the enforcer of Washington\u2019s hegemony over every other country. Washington <em>uber alles<\/em> is the only foreign policy that Washington pursues.<\/p>\n<p>At the UN Trump actually threatened to wipe North Korea off of the face of the earth. He added to this threat threats against Venezuela (<a href=\"http:\/\/stephenlendman.org\/2017\/09\/trump-threatens-venezuela\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/stephenlendman.org\/2017\/09\/trump-threatens-venezuela\/<\/a>) and Iran. He demonized these countries as \u201crogue states,\u201d but it is Washington that is playing that role. Washington has destroyed in whole or part eight countries in the young 21st century and has 3 to 5 more in its crosshairs.<\/p>\n<p>One question is: why did not the UN audience shout Trump down, a man standing before them telling obvious lies? The answer, of course, is money. The US taxpayers pay roughly one-quarter of the UN\u2019s annual budget, leaving the other 130+ countries a light load. Washington is succeeding in driving the world to Armageddon, because the world\u2019s leaders prefer money to truth, to justice, to survival. <em>The UN diplomats see in their cooperation with Washington the opportunity to make money by sharing in the West\u2019s exploitation of their own countries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Washington, absorbed in its effort to destroy Syria, left it to its Saudi Arabian puppet to destroy Yemen. The Saudi autocracy, a major sponsor with the US of terrorism, has done a good job, thanks to US supplying the weapons and to the US refueling the Saudi attack airplanes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Thoughts on Trump\u2019s UN Declaration of War Against Iran and North Korea &nbsp; Trump\u2019s UN speech makes it clear that Trump\u2019s presidency, in terms of his campaign promise to remove Washington from the \u201cpoliceman of the world\u201d role, exit the Middle East, and repair the damaged relations with Russia, is over.
