Spending on Defense Is One Great Big Lie

[image: undefined] Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson is worried. He thinks that maybe — just maybe — the US government is not spending enough on defense. In a column entitled, “Here’s Why We Could Be Under-Spending on Defense,” Samuelson has come up with a complicated formula that has caused him to fear that China and Russia might actually be spending more money on their militaries than the United States. Bringing to mind the famous missile-gap controversy during the Cold War, Samuelson wrote, “Our reputed military superiority might be exaggerated or a statistical fiction.”... more »

The Russian and Chinese Responses to the Pentagon's Intermediate-Range Missile Test

A Political Junkie at Viable Opposition - 14 hours ago
After the U.S. withdrawal from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty or INF at the beginning of August 2019 because of so-called violations by the Russian, the United States was very quick to test a missile that would have fallen under the umbrella of the treaty which banned missiles with a range of between 500 and 5500 kilometres. This treaty was put into place primarily because both the Soviet Union and the United States could easily conceal shorter-range, land-based nuclear cruise missiles that could strike with little or no warning.

Israel wants Washington to invade Iran

Israel is trying to “suck America into” a war with Iran that could destabilize the Middle East and lead to a world war in much the way that the imperial rivalries in 1914 led to the First World War, Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, warned in Washington. A war with Iran, he said, could “perhaps terminate the experiment that is Israel and do irreparable damage to the empire that America has become.” But Israeli leaders want a war, and they are pushing one with the support of their American political friends, including Democrats like Sen. ... more »

On the Apollonian and the Dionysian

Unknown at The Verma Report - 14 hours ago
Nietzsche contrasts the two facets of the Greek world, the Apollonian and the Dionysian, in his 1872 work *The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music*. The Apollonian and the Dionysian are often regarded as opposites or rivals, but they are always entwined in nature. The purpose of Greek tragedy is to resolve the dichotomy or the conflict between the two by giving the Dionysian elements the opportunity to express their emotions, passions, fears, and madness within a story that is broadly Apollonian and is about reason, logic, bravery, self-control, and order. According to Nietzsc... more »
