Obama's Unending Wars Fronting the Foreign Policy of the Permanent Warfare State

Obama's Unending Wars Fronting the Foreign Policy of the Permanent Warfare State
Obama's Unending Wars: Fronting the Foreign Policy of the Permanent Warfare State By Jeremy Kuzmarov
2019 | 343 Pages | ISBN: 1949762009 | EPUB | 1 MB
Many academics consider Obama to have been a master foreign policy strategist and shrewd practitioner of the art of realpolitik. This book demonstrates, however, that Obama in reality helped to institutionalize a permanent warfare state that resulted in gross human rights violations and contributed to America's strategic decline. His perpetuation of the War on Terror created more enemies and prompted the United States to lose influence in the Middle East. His Pivot to Asia policy intensified prospects for regional war while his unnecessary and willful military intervention destroyed Libya and drew the Russians in to protect Bashir al-Assad who won Syria's civil war. The Obama administration's heavy-handed interference in Ukraine led to effective Russian counter-moves, promoting a strategic alliance with China and regional integration that is moving the world towards multi-polarity. Obama's Unending Wars provides the first critical, comprehensive and highly documented history of the foreign policy of America's forty-fourth president - the drone king who ordered the bombing of seven Muslim countries, backtracked on a pledge to reduce America's nuclear arsenal, and helped fuel a new Cold War with Russia. During his years in office Obama provided billions of dollars in arms sales to Saudi Arabia as it assisted in the crushing of pro-democracy demonstrators in Bahrain and invaded Yemen. He sanctioned a coup in Honduras which plunged that country into chaos, perpetuated a failed drug war policy and contributed to the recolonization of Africa. While any Democratic Party president would have faced peril in confronting the Pentagon which had carried out a slow coup d'etat over the decades, Obama was rather, in many ways, the most perfect spokesman for the military-industrial complex. Who else but this articulate constitutional law professor could pull off a pro-war speech after winning the Nobel Peace Prize while ramping up drone assassinations and America's network of military bases in Africa and still retain the support of liberal-progressives? As many in the time of Trump now glance nostalgically back to the Obama presidency, this book will help them to see the continuity -- and continuous failure -- of American foreign policy irrespective of the party or figurehead representing it.

NFT FOR BEGINNERS Vol 2

NFT FOR BEGINNERS Vol 2
NFT FOR BEGINNERS Vol: 2: A Complete Beginner's Guide to Create, Make Money with Non-Fungible Tokens, Launch NFT projects, NFT for Dummies (Nft for Beginners ... Tokens, launch NFT projects, NFT fo) by Jansa Selvam
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B1JTSNDL | 420 pages | EPUB | 13 Mb
Are NFTs stupid? Or partially stupid or not stupid at all, in fact? I want to get to a point in this project where we understand what NFTs actually are. I want you to know what NFTs are technically speaking without necessarily getting into every little technical detail. Because what I want to do is compare what NFTs actually are to what people say they are. Because it's my contention that for the most part, those two things are very different. Like if you read about NFTs in online articles from reputable newspapers, or listen to people that sell NFTs and what they say they are, that's very different to what they actually are. And if I can persuade you of that fact, does that make them pointless or stupid? Well, actually I've changed my mind a number of times on that point. So let's see if we can figure it out. You'll notice that I've given this project chapters, that's because I need to go over some basic stuff first, for example, we really need to start by talking about cryptocurrency, and if you understand that you can skip forward.
