America’s Pushback: The Twilight of Obama’s Presidency
In an article entitled “Neither Greater Asia nor Greater Europe: America’s «Chaos» versus a Silk World Order”, written by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and carried by the Strategic Culture Foundation, the author astutely writes that:
“Three distinct, but interlinked, military buildups are being led by Washington. Using Ukraine as a pretext, NATO is expanding eastward in Europe. The south of Russia and to the west of Iran the plague of the ISIL/DAESH is being used to dissolve the Middle East and allow for a US-led military buildup there. In the Asia-Pacific, the Pentagon’s «pivot to Asia» is being justified by the stoking of tensions with China in the South China Sea.”
He concludes his piece by ominously noting that:
“The Doomsday Clock, which represents a countdown to a world catastrophe, is closer to midnight than it was during much of the Cold War period. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the hands of their Doomsday Clock to three minutes to midnight or 11:57 P.M. in January 2015.”
