America's Perpetual War: Six Questions(6)


(지난 호에 이어) 


6. Will the American Wars continue?

Despite its terribly negative impact, these wars will continue, because it is beneficial to the APWC.

The perpetual war requires the following strategies: perpetual existence of enemies on the one hand and, on the other, the adoption of invisible and politics-free war.

If there is no demand for the war, there will be no war. Hence, in order that the war perpetuates, there must be sustained demand for war. But, in order that there be demand for war, there must be crisis and there should be crisis making countries or individuals. These countries and individuals become enemies of America.


There have been several waves of military crisis in the eyes of APWC.

The first wave of crisis: the spread of communism, 1950-1989

The second wave of crisis: threat of terrorism, 1990-present

The third wave of crisis: danger of nuclear proliferation, 1950-present
 
The fourth wave of crisis: drugs war 1990-present

The fifth wave of crisis: human right violation 2001-present

Thus, there are several ongoing crisis and enemies. Hence, the APWC has little to be concerned with the lack of enemies.

According to William M Arkin, Washington has bombed or is bombing these countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Niger, Mali, Uganda Moreover, there are ten more countries which might be being bombed. These are mostly African countries including Cameron, Chad, Kenya and 7 other countries.

Moreover, the APWC is used to invent enemies. The probable next crisis target could be the "Yellow-Peril crisis" involving China and other Asian countries.

President, Joe Biden has decided to intervene in case of "crisis" in foreign countries even without the authorization of the countries involved. This can provide a lot of potential enemies. 


Anyway, as far as the existence of enemies is concerned, the AWPC has little to be worried about. There will be plenty of them, if not, the APWC will invent them. 

For instance, not-being pro-U.S. could be treated as crisis and crisis maker as American enemy.
 
The next hurdle to overcome for APWC is to tackle the anti-war movement in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world.

The solution is to find ways of making wars invisible, saving American lives but profitable. This can be done through the use of unmanned weapons and production cost saving by using AI-based technology, which allows long-distance warfare by virtue of "hub-spoke" war strategy under which one can attack the enemy without being present at the battle ground.

More and more, war is undertaken by a system of hub-spoke.  In the current war against terrorism, hubs are located in several Middle East countries, Kuwait being the Army hub and Bahrain being the Navy hub. The spokes are spread throughout the world, especially in the Middle East and Africa.

William M. Arkin describes the efficiency of the hub-spoke model of war.

"It is so little understood, so invisible, so efficient,, even so as four successive presidents have promised and then tried to stop warfare, the spokes have grown and expanded." 

The reason for developing this type of warfare is the need for being free from anti-war public and anti-war politics.

But the most important reason for the perpetuity of America wars is the vicious circle of human greed.

The war brings money; money invites wars; wars bring more money; more money leads to even more wars and ad infinitum. This is the vicious circle of human greed. Since human greed has no boundary, American wars will remain perpetual.

Thus, American wars can go on and on until there will be no more valuable enemies. In other words, the war will go on until the total destruction of the world. 

So, to save the world, the perpetual American wars should be stopped. (끝)
