If youre nervously watching the stock market gyrations and worrying about your declining portfolio or pension fund, part of the blame should go to Americas neocons who continue to be masters of chaos, endangering the worlds economy by instigating geopolitical confrontations in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Of course, there are other factors pushing Europes economy to the brink of a triple-dip recession and threatening to stop Americas fragile recovery, too. But the neocons regime change strategies, which have unleashed violence and confrontations across Iraq, Syria, Libya, Iran and most recently Ukraine, have added to the economic uncertainty.
This neocon destabilization of the world economy began with the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 under President George W. Bush who squandered some $1 trillion on the bloody folly. But the neocons strategies have continued through their still-pervasive influence in Official Washington during President Barack Obamas administration.
The neocons and their liberal interventionist junior partners have kept the regime change pot boiling with the Western-orchestrated overthrow and killing of Libyas Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the proxy civil war in Syria to oust Bashar al-Assad, the costly economic embargoes against Iran, and the U.S.-backed coup that ousted Ukraines elected President Viktor Yanukovych last February.
