The Pentagon\u2019s \u201c2015 Strategy\u201d For Ruling the World<\/a><\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, the Pentagon released its 2015 National Military Strategy, a 24-page blueprint for ruling the world through military force. While the language in the report is subtler and less incendiary than similar documents in the past, the determination to unilaterally pursue US interests through extreme violence remains the cornerstone of the new strategy. Readers will not find even a hint of remorse in the NMS for the vast destruction and loss of life the US caused in countries that posed not the slightest threat to US national security. Instead, the report reflects the steely resolve of its authors and elite constituents to continue the carnage and bloodletting until all potential rivals have been killed or eliminated and until such time that Washington feels confident that its control over the levers of global power cannot be challenged.<\/p>\n

\n

As one would expect, the NMS conceals its hostile intentions behind the deceptive language of \u201cnational security\u201d. The US does not initiate wars of aggression against blameless states that possess large quantities of natural resources. No. The US merely addresses \u201csecurity challenges\u201d to \u201cprotect the homeland\u201d and to \u201cadvance our national interests.\u201d How could anyone find fault with that, after all, wasn\u2019t the US just trying to bring peace and democracy to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria?<\/p>\n

In the Chairman\u2019s Forward, Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey attempts to prepare the American people for a future of endless war:<\/p>\n

\u201cFuture conflicts will come more rapidly, last longer, and take place on a much more technically challenging battlefield. \u2026 We must be able to rapidly adapt to new threats while maintaining comparative advantage over traditional ones\u00a0\u2026\u00a0the application of the military instrument of power against state threats is very different than the application of military power against non state threats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
