Governments that challenge international norms are sovereign countries that pursue policies independently of Washington\u2019s policies. These \u201crevisionist states\u201d are threats, not because they plan to attack the US, which the Pentagon admits neither Russia nor China intend, but because they are independent. In other words, the norm is dependence on Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to grasp the point: The threat is the existence of sovereign states, whose independence of action makes them \u201crevisionist states.\u201d In other words, their independence is out of step with the neoconservative Uni-power doctrine that declares independence to be the right of Washington alone. Washington\u2019s History-given hegemony precludes any other country being independent in its actions.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon\u2019s report defines the foremost \u201crevisionist states\u201d as Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. The focus is primarily on Russia.Washington hopes to co-op China, despite the \u201ctension to the Asia-Pacific region\u201d that China\u2019s defense of its sphere of influence, a defense \u201cinconsistent with international law\u201d (this from Washington, the great violator of international law), by turning over what remains of the American consumer market to China. It is not yet certain that Iran has escaped the fate that Washington imposed on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Ukraine, and by complicity Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">The Pentagon report is sufficiently audacious in its hypocrisy, as all statements from Washington are, to declare that Washington and its vassals \u201csupport the established institutions and processes dedicated to preventing conflict, respecting sovereignty, and furthering human rights.\u201d This from the military of a government that has invaded, bombed, and overthrown 11 governments since the Clinton regime and is currently working to overthrow governments in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pentagon Concludes America Not Safe Unless It Conquers The World The Pentagon has released its \u201cNational Military Strategy of the United States of America 2015,\u201d June 2015.\u00a0http:\/\/news.usni.org\/2015\/07\/02\/document-2015-u-s-national-military-strategy\u00a0 The document announces a shift in focus from terrorists to \u201cstate actors\u201d that \u201care challenging international norms.\u201d It is important to understand what these words mean.
