(AIIB) before the end of the year. Beijing
is seeking as

western most shores of Europe. In
announcing the AIIB,
finance a high-speed rail link between
China and Iraq.
The Eurasian Approach vs. London/Wall
and its Wall Street and Obama White House
allies. Iraq
tries. Backed by Persian Gulf states and
wealthy
individuals, ISIS has been conducting a
lightning drive
toward Baghdad, defeating the Iraqi Army
in a series of
engagements. ISIS is operating with Sunni
tribes and
remnants of the Saddam Hussein-era Iraqi
Army who
were purged during the U.S. occupation of
the Bush-
Cheney era. The factions have maintained
cohesion
through the Sunni tribes and the Army of
the Men of
Naqshbandi, a Sufi network of Ba’athist
military officers
and soldiers who have been shut out of
power by
the U.S.-backed al-Maliki government in
Baghdad.
Threat of Regional War
The threat posed
by ISIS to neighboring countries,
including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and
Saudi Arabia,
has created the conditions for a new
regional war. One
thousand American troops are now in Iraq
as advisors,
trainers, and intelligence liaisons, as
well as security for
the U.S. Embassy and an estimated 25,000
Americans
working in various parts of the country.
Last week,
Russia sent SU-25 fighter planes and
Russian trainers
to Iraq on short notice at the behest of
the al-Maliki
government. Iran has an estimated 100 Al
Quds Brigade
(IRGC) military advisors in the country
as well,
mostly working with Shi’ite militias
called upon to
fight against the Sunni
insurgents.
Last week,
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and
Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Chairman Gen.
Martin
Dempsey gave a frank assessment of the
situation on
the ground in Iraq. Dempsey told
reporters at a special
Pentagon briefing that he believed the
Iraqi Army could
hold back an ISIS assault on the capital,
but that they
possessed no capacity to launch any
counterattacks to
take back territory already lost to the
rebels.
At the request of
President Obama, the JCS
delivered military options last week,
suggesting that it would
take as many as 6,000 American troops—one
entire
combat brigade and relevant air and
communications
support personnel—to simply secure the
U.S. Embassy,
the Baghdad International Airport, and
the 15-km road
connecting them. Obama authorized the
deployment of
an additional 300 U.S. troops, far less
than the Pentagon’s
assessed requirements.
Obama has already
violated the Constitution by
dispatching American forces without
Congressional
approval. There is a bipartisan revolt
brewing against the
President’s latest Constitutional
infringements. Rep.
Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) sent the President
a letter signed
by 80 members of the House on July 3,
warning him
against any military action without
Congressional
authorization (see Feature, in this
issue).
Moreover,
Washington and London appear to be
doing everything possible to escalate the
provocations
against Russia, using the Poroshenko
government in
Ukraine as its instrument. After a series
of meetings and
conference calls among Presidents Putin
and
Poroshenko with German Chancellor Merkel
and French
President Hollande, the seeds of a
negotiating process to
end the violence in Ukraine were
beginninbg to sprout,
until Poroshenko abruptly ended the
ceasefire between
the Ukraine government and pro-Russian
federalist
forces in the southeast of the country,
and resumed
military operations.
Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov blamed the
sudden shift on pressure from an unnamed
outside
force—an implicit reference to London and
Washington.
Putin has made clear his willingness to
negotiate an
equitable agreement, and has taken
concrete steps,
including asking the Federation Council,
the upper house
of parliament, to rescind the law giving
him authority to
intervene militarily in Ukraine, and
pushing for OSCE
(Organization of Security and Cooperation
in Europe)
observers to be deployed to the
Ukraine-Russia border.
Nevertheless, the
crisis continues to grow.
It is in this context that the Russian
and Chinese actions
to forge a new just economic system in
Eurasia and
beyond represent a crucial flank against
the power of the
British Empire. Were Congress to remove
President
Obama from office, not only would the
immediate war
danger be vastly reduced (the British,
without the U.S.
on a leash, have no capability to fight a
general war). The
prospects for the United States directly
participating in
the new economic order would be vastly
improved.
Lyndon LaRouche has repeatedly stated in
recent
years that the advent of advanced
thermonuclear
weapons has made modern warfare
impossible. Any
general war would be a war of extinction.
Since the
dwindling power of the British Empire
system is the
only driving source of the war danger,
defeating that
Empire system by forming a new economic
and financial
system on traditional Hamiltonian
American
System principles—with U.S. full
participation—
would be the single-most deadly blow to
the last vestiges
of the British Empire. Either the British
will succeed
in provoking a general war, in which case
mankind is doomed, or the power of the
British Empire
will be defeated, starting with the
removal of British
pawn Barack Obama from the
Presidency.
