During the last good 15 years Denmark has participated in wars in Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, was an occupying force in Iraq for four years and a main bomber of Libya. Denmark is a rogue state.

Sep 11, 2014 – President Obama’s speech last night was a record low in terms of moral and intellectual analysis: What it boils down to is war – i.e. killing every single ISIS person anywhere, people who he compares to cancer cells.

Violence is what must be abhorred, condemned and treated normatively as we do slavery, cannibalism, pedophilia.

Firstly, an agreement over a phone is only a beginning; the devil is in the details. Secondly, there is no mention – yet – of the East Ukrainian fighters are onboard. Thirdly, a credible ceasefire should be monitored by neutral observers and competent people. The only ones who can do that are the UN peacekeepers.

Democracy requires a reasonable level of knowledge and information, freely available. The “world’s largest democracy” [India] also has the world’s largest population who can’t read and write (26%, 287 million people).

The meeting in Geneva about Syria resumes today [24 Jan 2014]. It is destined to become a historic failure. Most observers will blame either of the armed Syrian parties – the government or the rebels – for adhering unbendingly to their mutually exclusive positions.

Over the long run the US will be diluting its political authority in Asia. It must be prepared to accept Chinese equality. America must shunt aside its long held policy of “exceptionalism”. If it wants China to follow the rules of the global community it must set a better example itself.

President Obama’s decision to cancel the meeting with Putin is yet another indicator of Washington’s intellectual weakness and the U.S. empire’s future dissolution.
