The Enemy (in their own words):

“If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible.” – Senator Harry Truman, June 24, 1941.

“The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European but an Asiatic and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese and, from what I’ve seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of a bitch, a barbarian, and a chronic drunk.” – George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, diary entry, August 8, 1945.

“We have 50 percent of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 percent of its population. In this situation, our real job in the coming period…is to maintain this position of disparity. To do so, we have to dispense with all sentimentality…we should cease thinking about human rights, the raising of living standards and democratization.” – George Kennan, 1948.

“Keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” – Lord Hastings Ismay (NATO leader), 1952, on the purpose of NATO.

“Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.’” – Henry Kissinger, 1975.

“We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” – CIA Director William Casey, 1981.

“Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” – US Senator Joe Biden, 1986.

“A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” – Allen Weinstein, 1991, co-founder of the so-called ‘National Endowment for Democracy.’

“God bless America!” – Boris Yeltsin (1992), groveling before his masters in the US Congress.

“We think the price is worth it.” – Madeleine Albright (1996), then Secretary of State, when asked by Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes whether the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children as a result of US sanctions were worth it.

“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” – Samuel P. Huntington, excerpt from ‘The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order’ (1996).

“Potentially, the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran, an ‘anti-hegemonic’ coalition united not by ideology but by complementary grievances.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski, in The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, 1997.

“The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist. McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technologies to flourish is called the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.” – Thomas Friedman, A Manifesto for the Fast World, 1999.

“Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.” – Jonah Goldberg, quoting Michael Ledeen, 2002.

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.” – Karl Rove, 2004.

“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” – Warren Buffet, 2006.

“I'm really good at killing people.” – Barack Obama, 2012.

“We need to think of these deployments as we thought of our Indian Wars, which lasted 300 years, or as the British thought about their deployment on the North West Frontier, which lasted 100 years. US troops are policing the frontiers of the Pax Americana.” – Max Boot tweet, January 30, 2019.

“I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It's - it was like - we had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.” – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, 2019.

“Europe is a garden. The rest of the world… is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle. The jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it.” – the EU’s Josep Borrell, 2022.
