Peter Paul Anatol Lieven is a British author, Orwell Prize-winning journalist, and policy analyst. He is a Senior Researcher (Bernard L. Schwartz fellow and American Strategy Program fellow) at the New America Foundation, where he focuses on US global strategy and the War on Terrorism
Paul Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Its almost like we live in a competitive world and these foreigners want to screw our country up so they can sell more of their crap.
I am not sending my kids to go off and fight in some foreign...Uhm... climates?
Can the US Army control the Sun? Wow.
I’ll be part of that migration when the glaciation begins....
Mobilizing feelings a new job for the military.
The first sentence was enough. What drivel!
Give me 10 min in the room with this nutcase and I’d have him crying.
His logic has so many flaws, he couldn’t find any job in the private sector other than flipping burgers.
What he appears to be asking for, is for military commanders to order their subordinates to propagandize about "climate change" to all their civilian relatives and friends. Am I reading this right? Is there an alternate interpretation of what he's asking for?
Other than the cosmetic impacts (litter is ugly, factories and high farms smell bad, etc.) pollution has almost no economic impact. Environmental laws are based on appeasing the tender emotions of liberal snowflakes. Sure, we should have laws against littering. And maybe site selection for smelly businesses should favor areas far from residential communities. But beyond that, ALL of the environmentalist crap is total nonsense that costs billions of dollars and millions of jobs.
I categorically reject this statement as an outright lie.
How appropriate!
Ha! Just read the 2010 and 2015 National Security Strategies. The forced link is laughable and really sticks out like a sore thumb.
This guy is rallying for pure propaganda.
If the sea level rises,
the Army Corps of Engineers can save a lot of money
because they won’t have to dredge all of the
commercial waterways as deep or as often.
My God, what an idiot. This guy actually got this published?
If he is worried about the dangers of immigration, I suggest he look at the hijrah into Europe which is destroying Europe as he breathes (also hijrah into the US as a means to destroy us, too). This is a real and FAR greater Andy more immediate danger.
Closer to home, if he wants us to worry about mass migration, we should repeal the 1965 immigration act and shut down immigration for a decade or two. Over 20% of our population is foreign-born, an historical high, and many have zero intention of jumping into the melting pot.
Lastly, you could spend the entire world’s GDP trying to stop climate change and it would have no effect.
“that climate change is likely to cause, on a scale that even the worlds richest states and societies will be unable either to prevent or accommodate”
“Unable” to prevent or accommodate? Says who?
I didn’t see “climate scientists” in his bona fides.

Lieven is having difficulty seeing through his European naivete and lack of education on the matter. The U.K. is the only force that can beat climate change. It’s caused by the City of bankers in London, and only they, with their control of all of the wealth of the world and their empire, can solve the problem. If they are unsuccessful, then Europe is clearly at fault.
See? Even a working class U.S. peasant can write that kind of trash to turn Lieven’s nasty, accusatory implications back toward him.
;-)
He's right.
If we send in the US Army to round up and imprison global fraudsters, it would do wonders.
The author comes from the New America Foundation, which is a Soros, Google, Gates ect. funded foundation, so that alone should establish why NOT to listen to him.
And the line he is peddling is one the New America Foundation has been peddling nearly since it’s inception - make “climate change” a “national security” issue.
You can be sure their deep state tentacles are working hard to get as many active senior military folks and active foreign policy folks to internally, in the active military-defense establishment to push this agenda.
Yet, one thing I want to know is among the senior people at the New America Foundation, what is this guy doing at the “Conservative” National Review:
