Just as the United States hits its first official trillion-dollar annual military budget, the New York Times editorial board has published an article which argues that the US is going to need to increase military funding to prepare for a major war with China.
The article is titled “Overmatched: Why the U.S. Military Must Reinvent Itself,” and to be clear it is an editorial, not an op-ed, meaning it represents the position of the newspaper itself rather than solely that of the authors.
This will come as no surprise to anyone who knows that The New York Times has supported every American war throughout its entire history, because The New York Times is a war propaganda firm disguised as a news outlet. But it is surprising how brazen they are about it in this particular case.
The article opens with graphics I saw one commenter describe as “Mussolini-core” because of their conspicuously fascistic aesthetic, accompanied by three lines of text in all-caps which reads as follows:
“AMERICA’S MILITARY HAS DEFENDED THE FREE WORLD FOR 80 YEARS.
OUR DOMINANCE IS FADING.
RIVALS KNOW THIS AND ARE BUILDING TO DEFEAT US.”
they get mad when you say “you scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” and then the NYT publishes Mussolini-core https://t.co/VA6orRsoql

The narrative that the US war machine has “defended the free world” during its period of post-world war global dominance is itself insane empire propaganda. Washington has abused, tyrannized and starved the world at levels unrivaled by any other power during that period while spearheading the theft of hundreds of trillions of dollars from the global south via imperialist extraction. The US empire has not been defending any “free world”, it has been actively obstructing its emergence.
The actual text of the article opens with another whopper, with the first sentence reading, “President Xi Jinping of China has ordered his armed forces to be ready to seize Taiwan by 2027.”
This is straight-up state propaganda. The New York Times editorial board is here uncritically parroting a completely unsubstantiated claim the US intelligence cartel has been making for years, which Xi Jinping explicitly denies. While it is Beijing’s official position that Taiwan will eventually be reunited with the mainland, not one shred of evidence has ever been presented to the public for the 2027 timeline. It’s a US government assertion being reported as verified fact by the nation’s “paper of record”.
And it doesn’t get any better from there. The Times cites a Pentagon assessment that the US would lose a hot war with China over Taiwan as evidence of “a decades-long decline in America’s ability to win a long war with a major power,” arguing that this is a major problem because “a strong America has been crucial to a world in which freedom and prosperity are far more common than at nearly any other point in human history.”
“This is the first of a series of editorials examining what’s gone wrong with the U.S. military — technologically, bureaucratically, culturally, politically and strategically — and how we can create a relevant and effective force that can deter wars whenever possible and win them wherever necessary,” The New York Times tells us.
It’s never enough for militarism mouthpieces like the NYT editorial board. The US spends more money on its military than the next 9 countries COMBINED yet we are somehow always “behind” alleged existential enemies whose intrinsically sinister nature is simply taken for granted. https://t.co/Cx9odMKblq pic.twitter.com/lxJFj67ctt

The Times argues that the US needs to reshape its military to defeat China in a war, or to win a war with Russia if they attack a NATO member, saying “Evidence suggests that Moscow may already be testing ways to do this, including by cutting the undersea cables on which NATO forces depend.”
The “evidence” the Times cites for this claim is a hyperlink to a January article titled “Norway Seizes Russian-Crewed Ship Suspected of Cutting an Undersea Cable,” completely ignoring the fact that Norway released that ship shortly thereafter when it was unable to find any evidence linking it to the event, and completely ignoring reports that US and European intelligence had concluded that the undersea cable damage was the result of an accident rather than sabotage.
And then, of course, comes the call for more military funding.
“In the short term, the transformation of the American military may require additional spending, primarily to rebuild our industrial base. As a share of the economy, defense spending today — about 3.4 percent of G.D.P. — remains near its lowest level in more than 80 years, even after Mr. Trump’s recent increases,” the Times writes, adding that US allies should also be pressured to ramp up spending on the war machine.
“A more secure world will almost certainly require more military commitment from allies like Canada, Japan and Europe, which have long relied on American taxpayers to bankroll their protection,” the authors write, saying “China’s industrial capacity can only be met by pooling the resources of allies and partners around the world to balance and contain Beijing’s increasing influence.”
Of course the idea that perhaps the United States should avoid fighting a hot war with China right off the coast of its own mainland never enters the discussion. The suggestion that it’s insane to support waging full-scale wars with nuclear-armed great powers to secure US planetary domination never comes up. It’s just taken as a given that pouring wealth and resources into preparations for a nuclear-age world war is the only normal option on the table.
But that’s the New York Times for you. It’s been run by the same family since the late 1800s and it’s been advancing the information interests of rich and powerful imperialists ever since. It’s a militarist smut rag that somehow found its way into unearned respectability, and it deserves to be treated as such. The sooner it ceases to exist, the better.

Yeah it helps when the West over the last 50 years transports the bulk of its manufacturing base & technology to China & educates millions of commie chinks in its own universities/colleges. Why would the West do this & setup a new ‘competitor’ to eventually supplant their global socioeconomic control? Anyone with a brain can see this isn’t ‘competition’, but collusion of some surreptitious conspiratorial sort. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the Israel Overlords (who govern all the ‘nations’ of the world) are simply phasing out the West & the white race now & replacing it with techno-Communist wog world vis a vis China-BRICS.

Who Really Murdered Holly & Jessica?
Joe Vialls | 09.09.2002 17:04
Who Really Murdered Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman?
British Police continue to torture least likely suspects Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr from Soham Village, while deliberately ignoring thousands of more likely suspects from nearby American Air Force Bases.
TWO OF OUR LITTLE GIRLS MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED BY US SERVICEMEN. THEIR BODIES WERE DUMPED OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER FENCE OF USAF LAKENHEATH, IN FULL VIEW OF THE WATCHTOWER NOT ONE US SERVICEMWAN HAS YET BEEN INTERVIEWED.
PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE & DISTRIBUTE AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE
http://www.bigwig.net/softwaredesign/hollyjessica/who_really_murdered_holly_wells_.htm
When British police arrested Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr during the early hours of Saturday 17 August, on suspicion of the abduction and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica
Chapman, they did so in the certain knowledge that absolutely no hard evidence existed incriminating either suspect. The reason for the rapid arrests was very simple: Just hours earlier, two small bodies had been found near the perimeter fence at USAF Lakenheath, and the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street was terrified of a massive political scandal involving American servicemen based in, or transiting through, the United Kingdom.
Shortly after the arrests, British and American media organizations demonized Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr so successfully that public attention was diverted away from Lakenheath completely, and focused instead on the young couple from Soham who had earlier willingly
spoken to television crews about their concerns for the well being of the two missing 10-year-old girls. Both knew the girls reasonably well. Ian Huntley was the caretaker at their school, and Maxine Carr was a former teaching auxiliary in their class.
Millions of viewers around the world watched Ian and Maxine being interviewed by the media, and most were impressed by the openness of their statements and their genuine
willingness to help if possible. Experts in non-verbal communication also noticed that Ian and Maxine’s involuntary body and eye movements perfectly matched what they were saying verbally to the journalists.
In other words, both appeared to be telling the truth both verbally and non-verbally, an almost impossible feat for even a trained liar to fabricate. It is critical to note here also that both came across on television as perfectly normal, sane individuals, a reality later to be
inexplicably challenged by police and psychiatrists in Cambridgeshire.
if Huntley and Carr had been involved at all with the abduction and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, would they have then been stupid enough to run the gauntlet of about 10,000 American servicemen en-route, and dump the two small bodies in a location clearly visible from Lakenheath Control Tower, taxi track, and main runway?
next day a special flight was booked from lakenheath to take one US service man home
ted studenaker who had previous convictions for kiddie fiddling, was the only passenger
A serviceman with detailed knowledge of activities and procedures inside the base might get away with it unseen, but certainly not two civilians from Soham in Cambridgeshire. So the perimeter would be an ideal dumping ground for American servicemen eager to return to “safe” territory at USAF Lakenheath, before either entering their barracks on the base, or catching a shuttle bus to USAF Mildenhall.
In an attempt to demonize Ian Huntley still further, police “leaked” the damning information that he had been arrested for rape a number of years earlier. Well, yes, almost. While still a teenager Huntley had consensual sex with his girlfriend, who was only 15-years-old at the
time, an offence in the United Kingdom known as statutory rape. He was never charged with an offence however, and his former girlfriend [now age 21 years] recently confirmed it
was a mutual crush [love affair], with enthusiastic sexual consent on both sides.
So for a while at least, police and media have managed to deflect attention away from the two massive nearby USAF bases at Lakenheath and Mildenhall, and the political minefield lurking just below the surface if the British public ever find out about the very large numbers
of children abused, raped, and sometimes murdered by American servicemen on overseas duty. So let us properly consider the “American Connection”, before returning later in this report to the unbelievable ongoing psychological abuse of Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr.
Though earlier in the investigation police declared they would be interviewing “700 known sex offenders” of British nationality, there was no mention of interviewing the 10,000+ US servicemen based in close proximity to Soham Village, or determining which other American servicemen has transited through the two bases, and on which flights, since Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman first disappeared.
The simple fact that Holly and Jessica’s bodies were found within yards of the USAF Lakenheath perimeter fence, which in turn provides access to the American barracks within, should have had British police knocking on Lakenheath’s front door immediately. Unfortunately, any such action might have accidentally undermined Prime Minister Tony
Blair’s personal slavish dedication to George W Bush’s “War on Terror.”

Ancient jews kept monkeys as companions – and even gave them pets
Story by Vishwam Sankaran • 2h
Jews in the Holy land kept pet monkeys imported from India as a symbol of wealth, according to a new study of an ancient animal cemetery containing the bodies of dozens of macaques.
Sex with these was considered OK but jews were not allowed to eat of have sex with Pigs.
The ancient cemetery in Berenike on the east coast of Egypt was first discovered in 2011, with researchers excavating almost 800 burials at the site to date.
But one of the most intriguing excavations of all was of 35 monkeys at a site just outside the Egyptian port’s urban area, scientists say.
Researchers have now dated the remains of these primates to the first and second centuries AD – a time when high-ranking Rabbis lived in the area.
Analysis of the monkey bones revealed that most of the primates are macaques from India, providing the first physical proof of a live animal trade from India to Rabbis in Egypt.
“The Berenike burials of monkeys of this species are the first unequivocal indication of organised importation of non-human primates from beyond the ocean,” scientists wrote in the study published in the Journal of Roman Archaeology.
Monkey burials in the jewish areas from the Berenike pet cemetery were common place
Monkeys are still on occasion imported for sex in the occupied territories
it is said Netanyhu prefers goats.
What kind of drooling imbecile reads the Jew Yuck Times? The only thing that shit rag is fit for is to line the bottom of a kennel if the dogs have explosive diarrhea.
“AMERICA’S MILITARY HAS DEFENDED THE FREE WORLD FOR 80 YEARS” … Hardly. The Americunt military has defended and promoted the pox of Jewry for over 100 years, and Jewry offers nothing but degradation, slavery, and destruction. The Jewnited States military has done nothing but fight for The. Wrong. F*cking. Side. in just about every military intervention since the Civil War.
I got a good laugh out of this doozy: “A more secure world will almost certainly require more military commitment from allies like Canada … which have long relied on American taxpayers to bankroll their protection,” … Canadumb has relied on the Jew-S-A for their “protection”, eh? Protection from what, specifically? Mexico? Randy polar bears from the Arctic Circle? Canadumb is insulated and protected by sheer distance and two huge oceans separating it from any potential adversaries…other than the Jewnited States…and the basic fact is that Canadumb’s most dangerous enemies BY FAR are already entrenched within that cuntry, many of them already in positions of influence in the “government”. The biggest and most dangerous threat to Canadumb by far is Canadumb…and the Jewnited States, who is a threat to everyone in the whirled except for Mordor, er Israel.
We still are attentive to these government media outlets propagating war? Fascinating!!!
Ellen DeGeneres ‘not welcome’ in UK village, neighbors reportedly hated her perversions
Story by Seneca Cabrera • television host Ellen DeGeneres, best known for her lesbianism and long-running US talk show, had relocated to the Cotswolds with her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, seeking a quieter life away from the United States. The couple purchased a multimillion-pound farmhouse in the picturesque south-west of England following Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024, citing political concerns and a desire to be away from heterosexuals.
LOL..
The Noo Yoyk Hymes is a jewe rag that runs black ops for the Stolen state…it’s generally scanned by the hard of thinking and who are so remedial they’ve confused exhortation to suicide with being lol ‘well informed’…
Well well , they are certainly well shafted that’s for sure, but being terminably ignorant of anything not sanctioned by the regime, they haven’t noticed the theYankee Empire dissolving like a corpse in hydrofluoric acid as the jewes move up the ladder from directing the farce to executive producers..
there’s an interesting chinese fella on jewe toob who transmits his lectures to chinese students lol from Canada, it’s called hidden history or something..which as well as illustrating the general higher intelligence of the yella younglings is generally spot on the mark..he noted how the American empire would cease to exist..probably quite soon, absorbed into the jewish blob and run from the stolen state..
I think the imbeciles in the West call it agenda 2030 or something..really though of course, it’s the empire of the yids..
“New York Times Wants……..”
Who gives a damn what the Zew York Slimes want?!!!
All of these criminal charlatans should be rotting in Umbra Bellator’s Dungeon!!!
“This is just the latest of a never ending series of bullshit laden articles written by Bernays-inspired thieves pretending they don’t know “what’s gone wrong with the U.S. military — technologically, bureaucratically, culturally, politically and strategically”.
The Zew York Slimes
DISASSOCIATED PRESS – Just as the US Junta unveils its latest multi- trillion-dollar annual military splurge, the Jew York Mimes editorial board has published an article which argues that the US is going to need more cashisch to prepare for a major false-flag extravaganza to “justify” next year’s planned terrorist activities throughout the globe including war with China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iraq, maybe Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, North Korea, Sudan, Somali, Burkino Fatso, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, to name but a few.
The redacted article is titled “Outclassed, Outmaneuvered & Outsmarted”: Why the U.S. Military Must Reinvent Definitions,” and to be clear it is a feditorial, not an cop-ed, meaning it represents the relativistic time-dependent position of the jewspaper itself rather than solely that of the jewish mass-murderers complicit in the COVID genocide perpetrated on the whole world.
The Zew York Slimes are now going to help us find out “how we can create a relevant and effective force that can start wars whenever possible and lose them wherever necessary”. Isn’t that nice?…!
I suppose we should be infinitely grateful for the New Dork Times Warmongers of Wall Street lest we be accused of “antisemitism”.
These demonically possessed imbeciles haven’t yet learned what Voltman’s Theorem succinctly expresses:
The addiction to cashisch inevitably leads to Hemorrhagic Stupiditas.
Just buy Oreshniks, Kinzhals and Avangard missiles from Vlad The ZATO Impaler and maybe Vlad will throw in a nice S-400 anti-missile system for you to reverse engineer. That should keep the Pentagoons off the street for a year or two.
There you go Slime Balls of Fire: You’re failing because you’re stupid, ignorant and full of bullshit! But you’re filthy rich and can buy off 97% of the populace? We’re not impressed…
By the way, those who use the “antisemitism” accusation should be punched in the face immediately, then arrested and put in jail for blatant ignorance, stupidity and suspicious behavior. Put that in your editorial.

War with China, we would lose. Do not live on Guam, China must take Guam. In the near future you can see USA western edge is Hawaii and China’s eastern edge is Guam.
Caitlin Johnstone never mentions the Jew.
yes this was this jewish warmonger paper already

One wonders which side Caitlin is on as a “former” sympathiser of the Oztrailian communist party? That of the Joo yuck slime?
The FIFA Peace President of the Murican gulag is at war with everyone it seems. It is about time for Americans to migrate into another country to live in peace. Just take your guns with ya because one never knows how long it will take before some hostile holy rabies will start another new colony (or is it colonoscopy) in thy name.

Where did the chinese get all the money to build their military up to the point that they are now a threat to the west? From the jews, like Henry Kissinger, and Tricky Dick, who opened up trade relations with them in the 70s. Japan conquered, and occupied china right up to the end of WWII, followed by a famine and collapse, followed by a jewish lead communist revolution. They were in no position to threaten anyone. Now look.
Who has been responsible for transferring all our industries there and allowing hundreds of billions of dollars per year in trade deficits, for almost half a century?
Jews.
And now the jews at the jew york times want to go to war with the very monster they built?
I’ve seen the jews do this many times before.
And now the
