WW II for sure - fought to eliminate the scourge of fascism. <br><br> Its headquarters moved from Berlin to Washington. Never again became permanent wars of conquest - from Truman to Obama and whoever succeeds him. <br><br> One independent nation after another is targeted. Obama wages so many direct and proxy wars, it's hard keeping track. <br><br> America spends trillions of dollars for mass slaughter, destruction and human immiseration. <br><br> It threatens humanity's survival. Its combat forces operate in scores of countries worldwide. <br><br> They infest Eastern Europe menacingly close to Russia's borders. They're preparing for European war - possible US launched nuclear confrontation with Russia. <br><br> Put nothing past lunatics infesting Washington. They may end life on earth before they're through. <br><br> Stopping them has never taken on greater urgency. Ukrainian flashpoint conditions may ignite the unthinkable. <br><br> Washington and rogue EU partners keep supplying Kiev with heavy weapons. US combat forces are coming masquerading as trainers. <br><br> Expect resumed full-scale conflict to follow. Likely bloodier and more destructive than before. <br><br> Perhaps with US combat troops directly involved. Maybe shock and awe terror bombing aiding them. <br><br> Ukrainian conscription efforts aren't working. Desertions deplete military ranks.  <br><br> Ukrainians resist fighting their own people. Multiple mobilization efforts recruited what a Poroshenko aide called \"alcoholics and dodgers, drug addicts and morons.\" <br><br> On Monday, Kiev-controlled Kostianynivka residents rioted after drunk junta forces in an armored vehicle ran over a woman with two children. <br><br> One child died. Another was injured. The woman is hospitalized in serious condition. <br><br> Angry residents pelted soldiers with stones. They cursed them. Fascist law enforcers got orders to use deadly force to restore order. <br><br> Nazi Right Sector thugs showed up. Gunfire followed. Crowds were dispersed. <br><br> Ukrainian security forces began arresting people randomly. Fascist regimes operate this way. Its scourge returned to Europe's heartland for the first time since WW II. <br><br> Kiev is desperate to fill ranks for more war on Donbass. Conscription notices are increasingly ignored. <br><br> Volunteers are sought. Supplemented by US, UK and maybe other NATO combat forces. <br><br> Heading perhaps for blitzkrieg war on Donbass. Minsk is dead. It was stillborn like earlier conflict resolution efforts. <br><br> Obama wants war, not peace. Maybe he'll set Europe ablaze ahead. Perhaps he's got WW III in mind. <br><br> Rogue states stop at nothing to achieve their objectives. None in world history match America's rage for global conquest. <br><br> It seeks it one ravaged and destroyed country at a time. It's turning planet earth into a raging cauldron of violence, instability and human misery. <br><br> US streets already are battlegrounds. It's just a matter of time before they resemble destabilized conditions abroad. <br><br> Maybe conflict will arrive on US soil for the first time since 19th century civil war - the bloodiest war by far in US history per capita, killing the equivalent of millions today. <br><br> America hasn't had a day of peace in its entire history. Conflicts continue raging at home and abroad. <br><br> Making the world safe for monied interests - at the expense of all others. US policy reflects pure evil. <br><br> Never in humanity's history has a greater curse existed. Powerful enough to destroy planet earth in a heartbeat. Reckless enough to risk it. <br><br> Ukraine may turn out to be a rubicon of no return. Washington gets increasingly closer to direct confrontation with Russia. <br><br> What Cold War politics went all-out to avoid looks increasingly likely now. US policy reflects madness.  <br><br> Lunatics in charge risk the unthinkable. So does mindless media scoundrel cheerleading rogue US policies. <br><br> Earlier weapons were toys compared to today's. Obama represents the worst of neocon extremism dressed up in demagogic phony populist rhetoric. <br><br> Nuclear armageddon may arrive before his tenure ends. Fail safe days may be over. <br><br> Challenging Russia militarily reflects madness. Setting planet earth ablaze may follow. <br><br> Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.
