New House Speaker: Russia, China, and Iran Are New Axis of Evil

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson said Putin cannot win in Ukraine

Representative Mike Johnson vowed to support the wars in Ukraine and Israel in an interview after becoming House Speaker. The Congressman told Sean Hannity that China, Russia, and Iran make up an “axis of evil” that poses a huge threat to the US.

The Speaker presented Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran as a trilateral threat to Washington. “Big priorities in this moment right now. We have Israel being attacked, we have unrest, we have the Ukraine situation we’ve got to deal with, we have China being aggressive, we have Iran with all the meddling, and China, Russia, and Iran working together. This is a dangerous time.” he said.

“Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran, and they’re tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That’s how we see it, “Johnson continued, the states posed a “huge [threat to the US.] It’s it’s the biggest threat since World War II.”

On Ukraine, Johnson stated that the support for Ukraine must continue. “Now we can’t allow Vladimir Putin to Prevail in Ukraine because I don’t believe it would stop there,” he said. “And it would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan. We have these concerns. We’re not going to abandon them.”

The Speaker noted he would like to see more oversight over additional aid but did not say it was a requirement to pass a multi-billion assistance bill for Ukraine.

Johnson explained that he does support the White House’s proposed $105 billion bill that would fund the War in Ukraine, Israel’s war on Gaza, fund Washington’s military buildup in the Pacific, and provide funds to increase security at the southern border. The Speaker said the consensus among House Republicans is to split the funding into different bills.

As well as supporting future aid for Ukraine, the Speaker is willing to send American soldiers to the Middle East in defense of Israel. “Watching it very closely, one thing that House Republicans are resolved on is that we must stand with our most important Ally in the Middle East, and that’s Israel.” He added, “I hope that it doesn’t come to boots on the ground.”

american humbug....

 

The US doesn’t “hold the world together”. It breaks it apart      By John Menadue 

The US is the ‘essential nation’, the ‘indispensable nation’, its leadership ‘holds the world together’. This is the boastful humbug that President Biden gave us on his return from Israel, where he again affirmed his complicity with Israel in its decades of occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Palestine. The US assumes a moral superiority it denies to others.

And two days days later we had our obedient Prime Minister in Washington tugging his forelock to all that humbug.We are so easily seduced.

He has pledged us, together with the US, to police the Pacific by allowing the US to use our territory at will as the staging platform for a US war on China.

Yet the US is the greatest threat to a peaceful and just world. Malcolm Fraser called the US a ‘dangerous ally’. Almost every day provides further proof of that assertion.

Apart from brief isolationist periods, the US has been almost perpetually at war.

Since its founding in 1776, the US has been at war 93 per cent of the time. The US has launched 201 out of 248 armed conflicts since the end of World War II. The US maintains 800 military bases or sites around the world, including in Australia. The US has, in our region, a massive deployment of hardware and troops in Japan, the Republic of Korea and Guam.

The US has been meddling extensively in other countries’ affairs and elections for a century. It tried to change other countries’ governments 72 times during the Cold War. Many foreign leaders were assassinated. In the piece reproduced in this blog (The fatal expense of US Imperialism), Professor Jeffrey Sachs said:

“The scale of US military operations is remarkable … The US has a long history of using covert and overt means to overthrow governments deemed to be unfriendly to the US … Historian John Coatsworth counts 41 cases of successful US-led regime change for an average of one government overthrow by the US every 28 months for centuries.”

The overthrow or interference in foreign governments is diverse, including Honduras, Guatemala, Iran, Haiti, Congo, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, Chile, Iraq, Afghanistan and most recently, Syria.

Over two centuries, the US has subverted and overthrown numerous governments. It has a military and business complex that depends on war for influence and enrichment.

The US doesn’t hold the world together, it breaks it apart. It can’t even hold itself together. It is becoming a failed state. The signs of decay are all there in its Administration, Congress, Supreme Court and media. But with its overwhelming military power coupled with its imperial vanity it is extraordinarily dangerous to world peace, as we see in Palestine today.

In his journal Charterbook, Adam Tooze recently wrote about a broken US that dangerously keeps asserting its delusions about how American leadership holds the world together.

The world does not regards the US as a good model of democracy.
