Etzioni has raised an important question: “Who authorized preparations for war
with China?”http://yalejournal.org/2013/06/12/who-authorized-preparations-for-war-with-china/ Etzioni
says that the war plan is not the sort of contingency plan that might be on hand
for an improbable event. Etzioni also reports that the Pentagon’s war plan was
not ordered by, and has not been reviewed by, US civilian authorities. We are
confronted with a neoconized US military out of control endangering Americans
and the rest of the world.
Etzioni
is correct that this is a momentous decision made by a neoconized military.
China is obviously aware that Washington is preparing for war with China. If the
Yale Journal knows it, China knows it. If the Chinese government is realistic,
the government is aware that Washington is planning a pre-emptive nuclear attack
against China. No other kind of war makes any sense from Washington’s
standpoint. The “superpower” was never able to occupy Baghdad, and after 11
years of war has been defeated in Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly armed
Taliban. It would be curtains for Washington to get into a conventional war with
China.
