Maupin: Is the empire really opting for peace? What’s behind the Afghanistan withdrawal?

Watch this video with Caleb Maupin, arguing that the Biden admin, while seeming to retract US imperialism's overt military tentacles (i.e., Afghanistan troop withdrawal), and singing tunes of peace and diplomacy with Russia and China while also ratcheting sanctions, may be trying to spark conflagrations by proxy in multiple areas—Ukraine, South China Sea/Taiwan, Syria and Iran, Xinjiang, etc.—so as to inflict both hybrid and kinetic war defeats on Moscow and Beijing. This type of strategic approach was originally recommended by Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger, both Trilateral Commission advisors to what Caleb (correctly in our view) identifies as the "ultra rich/managerial/long term" wing of the US capitalist system (think big oil, big tech, Rockefeller money, Wall Street, CIA/deep state and Democratic party and legacy media assets), that is the "more effective evil", more sophisticated wing of global capitalism. This constellation of wealth and influence is in a protracted struggle with the "upstart" capitalists, those focused primarily on short-term  goals, profits at any cost, etc. Think here major weapons manufacturers (MIC), the fracking industry, new capitalist centers in the retail field (Home Depot, Amway), etc. These forces backed Trump, for example, and decades earlier gave rise to fierce opposition to FDR, whom they branded a class traitor and a commie. (The John Birch Society still argues that FDR, LBJ and Obama, among others, are communists, and that Lenin was put in power by a curious cabal of communist Western bankers (sic). Logic and history, let alone sober class analysis, apparently mean nothing to such people. ).  In this video Maupin also renews his critique of libertarianism and "the synthetic left", the two most dangerous ideological enemies of genuine leftism and a much needed American revolution.
