Fourth Reich Geopolitik 6

This week, we return with another installment of “Geopolitik,” our ongoing examination of the modern geopolitical landscape with a focus on matters both foreign and domestic. We would just as soon keep building the momentum of our She Harvey Oswald miniseries, but real talk, things are getting pretty damn weird, and your boyz needed to weigh in.   We take stock of the sad state of affairs in the United States of Amerikkka in light of the Reich-coded speeches by President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of War Pete “Hog Sex”) Hegseth to U.S. military leaders.  Just last week, the War Secretary summoned all of the military brass to Quantico for untold reasons.  Rumors started to percolate that there would be a significant announcement. Perhaps a declaration of war. Maybe the formation of a new branch. In the end, this turned out to be another goofy-ass Trump rally. Cool… Trump went on his typical diatribe about Joe Biden and the “Radical Left.” He praised his own tariff policy. He praised his own ability to make peace notwithstanding his “disappointment” with Putin. He basically said the same list of six or seven things that he says literally to anyone on any occasion. And then, ominously, he suggested that Hegseth send the troops to American cities to handle the “enemy from within.”  As for the “major announcement,” that came from the Defense Secretary when he said, in so many words, that the military is in desperate need of a glow-up.  Hegseth instituted physical training and regular tests because there are too many “fatties.” He also said that drill sergeants can lay their hands on recruits and get physical with them during training. As if we needed even more reasons to send our combat-trained young men into America’s streets with knowledge of guns and a chip on their shoulder. We then turn to the news of Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza. We emphasize the quotes around “peace plan,” because this is basically just a ploy to bribe Arab leaders into acquiescence with the genocide of the Palestinians, get the Israeli hostages back (Trump says “dead or alive”) without exacting any concessions from Israel in return, shield that Genocidal terrorist state from accountability, and pave the way to lucrative beachfront real estate deals and offshore drilling for the ravenous blood-soaked beasts of the ruling class.And all of this is happening in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination and a charged-up Republican party. With each day that passes, Amerikkka’s mainstream conservatives are looking more like fundamentalist reactionaries and are being more blatant about their white supremacist goals. It’s like 1972 all over again. Or maybe 1933?
