    Remember the quaint days of yore when Islamic Terrorism was still the big scary threat that we all needed to accept insane rhetoric and policy prescriptions to combat. It’s almost like American politics always needs a rotating roster of mythological villains to keep things fresh

        We've always been at war with Eurasia. East Asia is our ally (along with our brave Islamist allies fighting for freedom in Syria).

        Yeah, and as US govt was using Al-Qaeda as bogeyman, it was climbing into bed with the jihadists to do their proxy regime work, meanwhile keeping Gitmo open on poor wrong place wrong time people who were mostly innocent. Ethical freakshow monster government. And obtuse citizenry!

        So true Mr Tracey . . . except you missed that part of your calculus that cost the lives of millions left another 30m or so refugees and destroyed a half dozen states. But wait . . . I know bad words from some will surely prove history repeats itself. Running out of rhetoric?

        Recurring blows of 100+ violent deaths in the West and ME, perpetrated by hateful maniacs who are against freedom of thought, are not imagined. But, does not explain away contradictory geo-political machinations.

        Unbelievable. Just finished the Iran-Saudi Frontline 2-parter and was saying moments ago that it’s crazy we haven’t heard about ISIS in atleast a year. Its all Russia crap. Our media has been abyssmal.

        It’s a design feature...for the MIC, Weapons Manufacturers, WS, Fossil Fuel Giants, Politicos etc. Keeps the money & resources flowing in the ‘right’ direction & suppresses domestic dissent when there’s always a bad guy out there.

        I'm just looking forward to Russiagate blowing over so Americans can go back to being oblivious to the fact that Russia exists and start hating the new enemy de jure.

        We know it exists, but also know it's a small economy entirely dependent on oil and gas prices and access to markets, with high unemployment, low to no growth, rampant oligarchical grafting...and gets pummeled in armed conflict with NATO - Facebook or no FB.

        It’s like somewhere in the Pentagon they’re playing an ever accelerating game of spin the bottle, and whoever the bottle points at receives the US kiss of death aka freedom and democracy.

        I guess that particular narrative became more difficult to maintain after it came out we were supporting some of those brutal terrorist groups.
