USA in a new "Pivot to Pacific"?

by DLi
Following the latest twist in the "Pacific Pivot," where Philippine President Duterte reversed course and announced his own pivot toward China, startled war hawks in the Pentagon(such as Secretary of War As_ Carter)are now urging President Obama for a new "Pivot to the Philippines"!
In this new Pivot, the U.S. will now actively recruit "democracies" like Borneo and Papua New Guinea to lay claims on Philippine Sea islets. And to bolster these claims, the U.S. Navy will now send its nuclear-powered gunboats to conduct "freedom of navigation" sailings into these troubled waters, now to include within 12 nautical miles of even Manila Bay! All to demonstrate the mighty American resolve to make sure that international shipping lanes remain open and unmolested by unnamed powers in the region. Furthermore, Mr. Carter insists that U.S. naval vessels will now take all necessary retaliatory strikes against potential threats on patrolling American gunboats(such as those recent alleged missiles, or even "unexplained" radar blips, coming from Yemeni coast). Pentagon officials took pains to emphasize the grave threats from the 4 coastal patrol boats recently given by Japan to the Manila regime. As if that's not sufficient warning, U.S. military officials also plan to have nuclear-capable B- 1 bombers, with accompanying advanced stealth technology F-22 fighter escorts, flyover the newly-disputed Spratley islets. Secretary Carter reportedly told reporters that American sea power will continue to operate in these Asian waters "with impunity, like we've historically been operating for over a century,"!
The Plan to have not one but two pivots with WMD--Weapons of Mass Destruction shows U.S. Empire is choosing to break the International Laws formulated in the Second World War and on-going to the present day.

The Nuremberg trials 1945-46 chaired by U.S. Judge Robert H. Jackson wrote into international law that the doing of Aggressive War is the Supreme International Crime on planet Earth, as it initiates all other crimes high, low, big, and small. He further says that Aggressive War is the Supreme International Crime whether Germany does it or the U.S.A. does it.

Other laws that the one and twice upon a time Pivot violate is the 2) Charter of the UN, as it says that this Charter forms the United Nations for the sole purpose of making war just a long distant memory for the comming generations.

The anti-fascist fronts of the world seek liberation from Militarism as being the governments of the world. The fact that as MLK--Martin Luther King says that the U.S. Imperial order has become the greatest purveyor of violence in the world shows that Judge Jackson was correct in designating that by experience of the past that Planning and doing of Aggressive War is the Supreme International Crime on Planet Earth.

The sixty Aggressive wars ordered by the U.S. Imperiists since 1945 makes them not only the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet but also the most unindited War Criminal on the Planet Earth. These U.S. War criminals must be brought to Justice Internationally again so the world can get back to the correct policy of dismantling the WMD--weapons of mass destruction and thusly to a world at peace.
