The Impulsiveness of US Power

[redcliffsw]

I guess no one in hubristic and arrogant Washington was listening when Putin said in hisUN speech on September 28: "We can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world."

The intolerable state of affairs is the chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, chaos that threatens to expand into all countries with Muslim populations, and chaos from which millions of refugees are flooding into Europe.

Not satisfied with threatening Russia with war, Washington is preparing to send US Navy ships inside the 12-nautical-mile territorial limit of islands created by China's land reclamation project. The Navy Times reports that three Pentagon officials have said on background that "approval of the mission is imminent."
