China: Obama on Insane Drive for Global War

Dai Xu, a PLA Air Force Colonel now at Beijing University's China Center for Strategic Studies, issued a scathing attack on the Obama Administration's past, present, and future wars, warning that this is about to spark global war, with Russia and China included. The U.S. is at war on three fronts, he says: "It has further squeezed Russia's space through NATO expansion. The 'return to Asia' has stirred up huge waves of tension around China. In the Islamic world, the US has brought down Iraq, Libya, Sudan, and Yemen. Now it is pressuring Syria and Iran, as well as Pakistan." He says this is beyond "Cold War," and notes that "a US war with Iran is likely to happen this year.... The current sanctions the West has forced upon Iran can actually be seen as a declaration of war. The preparation for this war has been going on for years in the form of espionage, Internet attacks, assassinations, and all sorts of manipulations the US has played on the country's psyche."

Dai Xu says that Russia is also preparing for war in the face of U.S. and Israeli preparations. China is another target: "Another hidden agenda the US has is to cut off China's access to the Indian Ocean so as to stop the trading activities China has with the Islamic world." North Korea and Myanmar are possible targets, because they are "strategically important to China."

He adds: "Pakistan may also be drawn into trouble by the US as the US has much to gain if Pakistan is mired in social unrest," especially since Pakistan "is the only Islamic country that has nuclear weapons."

He concludes: "As one can see, due to the strategic manipulations of the US, 2012 will not be a year of world peace. It's possible that the world can't walk out of the shadow of war in the following years."
