A number of people have asked why does Socrates say that the United States will lose this war. One states: “The standalone American firepower without UK/ France, etc, itself is tremendous. How does Socrates say that America will lose the war? It may lose financially. The Chinese have the worst track record in any war.” Perhaps I should just say, cyclically – it’s just TIME.
The Neocons are in charge of this war. They are trying conventionally for their constant goal of REGIME CHANGE. They are doing what Khrushchev had threatened Communism would win and we will bury you. This is their mantra and they think forcing a Republican form of government upon the rest of the world will bring peace. Those were the dreams of Hitler and Napoleon as well. Communism collapsed because it is simply unsustainable. Nevertheless, the Neocons have never backed down. They objected to Reagan even meeting with Gorbehev saying you can never trust Russians. The Neocons have pushed endless wars for their hatred. They have NEVER won a single war.
The US has lost EVERY war post WWII. Korea was a standoff, and Vietnam, along with Afghanistan were all losses and for what? They remove Saddam Husein and unleashed ISIS where Saddam kept the religious fanatics in check. Their theory was to remove all dictators in the Middle East and that would bring peace to Israel. They supplied arms and that led to the overthrow of Quadaffi in Libya and they were trying the same in Syria.
Now Nukes are no longer a deterrent when you are playing with nuclear powers. They have used Ukraine as cannon fodder to weaken Russia and they hope they can then invade under any excuse and conquer Russia, which has been their end goal for decades. They bank on that they can defeat Russia and it will never go nuclear.
I am flabbergasted by some of these Neocons and their sheet hatred of the Russian people like Adam Kinzinger who proclaims we can defeat Russia in 3 days. I suppose we could then turn and defeat China perhaps in 5 days. These people play with the lives of innocent civilians and send other people’s sons and daughters to war to be sacrificed for their personal hatred. The claim Putin is evil but never look in the mirror to see the hatred in their own eyes.
Robert McNamara (1916 – 2009) was a leading Neocon that pushed the country into the Vietnam war. He was famous for saying: “I learned early on never answer the question that is asked of you. Answer the question that you wish had been asked of you. And quite frankly, I follow that rule. It’s a very good rule.”
Before he died, he finally admitted that they were wrong particularly in their assessment of Russia as a threat. The perception that Russia is a threat is still dominating the agenda today. The propaganda that Putin is a KGB guy who wants to re-establish the Soviet Empire is absurd. In the 22 years that he has been in power, he has neither tried to re-establish communism nor has he sought to retake the old Soviet states like Poland, the Czech Republic, or even Ukraine. The same claims today about Russia are the very same ones that justified Vietnam.
Apparently, McNamara died with the guilt of sacrificing 58,000 Americans on the Neocon altar of war for at the end of his life, he admitted they were wrong. They are NOT Americans. They DO NOT serve American interests. They only serve their own International interests and are dragging countries into endless wars and carnage.
While these neocons only focus on war, they are destroying the United States economy. They are pouring money into this undeclared war on Russia when in fact the Constitution states that ONLY Congress can declare war – not the President.
The United States will lose the war, and we are losing our title of Financial Capital of the World. Just as WWI & WWII took that title away from Britain, WWII will take it from the United States and hand it squarely into the arms of China.
Than the warmongering Neocons for destroying your future all because of their personal hatred.
I think China is a paper tiger and who the hell is this “Socrates”?
Bkmk
"Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and [ENEMY] is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against [ENEMY] and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States."
“In the 22 years that he has been in power, he has neither tried to re-establish communism nor has he sought to retake the old Soviet states like Poland, the Czech Republic, or even Ukraine.”
Well, he is currently attempting to conquer Ukraine and failing, but of course he hasn’t attempted to retake Poland or Bohemia, because he can’t fight NATO. And he has invaded what, a half dozen of the weaker former Soviet states already? That’s a pretty damning track record for someone who supposedly has no interest in reconquering former Soviet territory.
Winning or loosing may be irrelevant. Either way the defense industry gets the orders for weapons and equipment needed to keep them in business. Maybe not the number one reason we do what we do, but it certainly plays into the mix.
And how does the convicted felon plan to monetize THIS bit of “advice”?
So Martin is channeling Greek philosophers now? This guy is a whack-a-doodle.
The United States lost World War II. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves.
Losing may be irrelevant too.
Well, it's hard to argue that nazi intelligence didn't win at the very least. Paperclip gave us the CIA and deep state, which has acquired complete control of the U.S. and busy establishing a 4th Reich globally.
RE: As every one since WWII
1. Since WW II when did we ever officially declare war?
2. Was Desert Storm ( as an example ) a loss? Was the destruction of ISIS?
Was the Cold War a loss?
Socrates is a financial projection software program that Armstrong likes to falsely distort into an ‘all knowing ai’. Socrates is not AI, but it would have to be in order to predict which country will lose, win a war. He mixes his own opinions in with Socrates’ projections and people follow him, believe him etc. There’s no way to check his reasoning - it’s all socrates blah blah blah blah. You just have to take the world history opinions of a a financial prediction software program as received wisdom.
Neocon bump for later....
“While these neocons only focus on war, they are destroying the United States economy.”

Who’d-a-thunk-it!

And we don't hate the Russian people. During the Cold War we saw them as just as much victims of the Nomenclatura as the Hungarians or the Czechs. Now, in the post-Soviet world, we still see them as victims of Putin and his kleptocrats.
We're not going to go in and free them, burned keep hoping they'll eventually manage to free themselves.
Martin Armstrong is a paranoid Russian kook
Winning wars is simply not on the program.
We've pushed Russia into an alliance with China. The dollar is now in peril as the world's reserve currency as is the petrodollar.
Stolen elections and allowing globalists to have control of our government is a disaster of the people of this country.
