For decades, and especially since the attacks on the US on 9/11/2001, Americans have loudly accused other nations of being state sponsors of international terrorism.
That accusation has been used most commonly against Iran. Iran is the largest remaining enemy (after we've neutralized several of their other enemies--Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc.) of American neocon's hostile foreign sponsor.
Since the neocons annihilated the elected government of Ukraine in 2014, that accusation is frequently made against Russia.
Sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.
Although I proudly worked against international terrorists in the aftermath of 9/11, even then, I predicted that the momentum and spirit of counter-terrorism would be directed at political targets (domestic stochastic terrorism). Or as an excuse to destroy other enemies of the neocons' hostile foreign sponsor. The war on Iraq affirmed my predictions, and was the final straw that led to my withdrawing from the effort. The follow-on, American support of color revolutions and coups, and attempted coups, like the massive effort to overthrow Assad in Syria, including illegal American military and intelligence presence and actions in Syria, further illustrated that the counter-terrorism effort had been hijacked by a malign un-American force.
The last few years have seen a descent into insane war-mongering by the neocons and their joined-at-the-hip Politically Correct Progressives, all in thrall to their hostile foreign sponsor.
Now we see acts of international terrorism--destruction of the Nordstream Pipeline, assassination of Iranian officers, the Crocus massacre in Russia, and this week's bombing of Iranian diplomatic offices in Damascus, and others--that are clearly NOT the work of those we've been tagging as state sponsors of international terrorism.
No, in fact, logical deduction, and informed intuition, reasonably turn the pointed fingers 180 degrees, back at the loathsome regime that controls our own military-intelligence complex (mil-intel-com). America is now the major state sponsor of international terrorism. Even if American personnel were not the trigger-pullers, or bomb-launchers, these attacks are carried out by proxies of American milintelcom, using either American weapons, or weapons purchased with American dollars distributed by Americans, or American information or guidance. American fingerprints are all over these terrorist attacks.
American milintelcom assets MUST be removed from the control of PC-Progs lashed up with the neocons, both dancing to the tune of their hostile foreign sponsors.
Otherwise, poking bears and stirring ancient hostilities with these acts of international terrorism (not to mention other hostile actions and official blatherings) will kick off an international conflagration--nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction used against us--that will make WW2 look like a picnic.
Can an election make a difference? We'll see, won't we? Check back in 8 months.
