U.S. Arms for al Qaeda But Not For Ukraine

With revelations that the Obama White House armed al Qaeda militants in Libya in its ultimately successful attempt to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi it is fascinating just how many Muslim extremist groups the U.S. government has supplied with arms thus fueling their insurgency and dogged attempts to overthrow the governments of Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
 

The U.S. is the largest arms dealer in the world. So far ahead of number two Russia, we sell almost twice as many armaments around the world as they do. It's a safe bet that we remain the largest supplier of arms to the Middle East, outpacing Russia and China combined.
 

And what are these arms mostly used for?

Why the overthrow of foreign governments of course and all the misery and chaos that goes with it. The U.S. has backed every major Muslim offensive with guns and ammo for the last ten years. We supply the al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters” in Syria for example. You know the people who are systematically and brutally killing and running Christians out of the country? Yes, THOSE people.

Our new al Qaeda friends in Libya also needed guns and we were more than happy to help out. Of course there was that little problem with al Qaeda attacking the U.S. consulate and killing Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith with their U.S. supplied mortars and AK-47s but that’s all just part of the larger business of changing the destinies of sovereign states. What's next on the crazy list, arming the Mexican drug cartels? Oh wait, never mind, thanks to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, we've done that too!

As we have seen, if you have a group that wants to take over a country in the hopes of establishing a religious state, then call the United States. 

Oh, except for Israel. The U.S. government only wishes to back Muslim nation building, thank you very much.

BUT, if you want to secure your fledgling democratic nation from overthrow by a powerful and aggressive neighbor, well, you are on your own, no guns for you!

And the ironic thing about that is that the U.S. actually HAS a defense treaty with Ukraine. I guess that wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Sorry Ukraine, I guess there just wasn't enough "Political Will" to justify sending arms to help you all defend yourselves. 

The United States also has a defense treaty with Japan.

Japan should start to take an interest in its own defense and make it sooner than later. If actions in Ukraine haven't proven that nations shouldn't depend solely upon the United States for their protection, then I don't know what other motivation it will take. How about Chinese gun boats in Tokyo Harbor? The sooner Japan can get their hands on a big load of missiles, the better. All that sheltered living, the Hikiomori, the sekkusu shinai shokogun, the highly taxed stagnant economy, the relegation of women in Japaneses society, all that crazy shit better get solved in a hurry because the new bully on the block senses weakness and this isn't a Gundam video game.
  

So what can we conclude from U.S. actions overseas?

Extremist Muslim insurgency: All for it!

Ukrainian Nationalists and the free Japanese Democratic nation: Not so much.

It is this strategic “giveth and taketh away” arms policy the U.S. uses to continually tip the balances of power in the favor of U.S. business interests. You play our way and we don’t upset your apple cart, right Muammar?
 

Oh that’s right, he can’t hear me ‘cause he’s DEAD.

With the United States vowing to be on your side your safety is thus assured. 

Pleasant dreams.

Muslim Brotherhood Gets Their Asses Shot Off

Nobody believes that these were peaceful demonstrators. Many AK47s and other ordinance were recovered from the pro Morsi camps. There were also 43 Egyptian police killed in the most recent conflict to rock Egypt since the U.S. "inspired" Arab Spring. They didn’t all have heart attacks. When people shoot at you from a crowd, you're not going to just stand there and get shot. It's human nature. You can only have an armed conflict when both sides are armed and what is going on in Egypt is an armed conflict. Some U.S. media are trying to make this look like Wounded Knee.  

The Muslim Brotherhood has seen their last glimpse of power in Egypt. Although there are many, they aren’t the majority. It’s true that the Brotherhood are better organized and stand together as a group in comparison to their divided opposition, this quality also makes them better targets. They don’t have the military resources of the Egyptian military but if they did, they would take over in a heartbeat. Mohammed Morsi himself showed his hand during his naked power grab earlier in the year. His group, like the resolute revolutionaries of old, will do whatever it takes to be the power in Egypt. Like the Bolsheviks, the Nazis and today’s Radical Leftists, the ends justify the means.

This has been plain to see by anybody with even rudimentary observation skills. This is why the Egyptian military has begun shooting the Muslim Brotherhood down in the streets. When they regroup and come back, they will shoot them down some more. War ain’t pretty. And fighting in the streets without the hope of winning is truly a waste.

And what are these people really dying for? For a man? For a man who has promised them something? What can a man promise you that you would die in the streets for him? For power? And just what is power really? The chance to take resources from the regular working folks first? A chance to tell people who aren’ t in power what to do and what to pay tribute? How does having this power actually do if the land you hold power over is dirt poor and roiling in conflict? Apparently being known as ruling over a Golden Age is a lot harder than just being known as a Grand Prick.

 

What did the Muslim Brotherhood hope to accomplish once they succeeded in taking power? Like their totalitarian predecessors, they are not administrators or statesmen, they are Revolutionaries and once the revolution is over what then? They will have to lead and lead they will with their overbearing Sharia Law and Islamic Caliphate. And that's what everybody had to look forward to.

This is why the Egyptian military is not alone. There were regular working folks helping them out and actually attacking Morsi supporters with clubs.

Morsi's supporters have a better chance of seeing God than his behind back in the presidents chair and if they keep coming back out into the open there will be less and less of them. To see the youth of Egypt dying for such a ridiculous "cause" is saddening. There are many young among the dead. It is the people leading them onto the slaughter that should be dealt with.

Here in the U.S. we have our own problems and although we look upon the carnage overseas with mixed emotions, we cannot let it distract us from the all too real erosion of our rights here at home, the suspension of the Constitution, the unchecked immigration, loss of national productivity and the runaway bureaucratic government juggernaut we face as the enemy of our freedom.

While one group struggles for power in a divided country, the another struggles for freedom in a divided country.

It is up to the individual to choose which cause is just.
