The military deployment of US-NATO forces is occurring in several regions of the World simultaneously. The Pentagon’s global military design is one of world conquest.
Militarization at the global level is instrumented through the US military’s Unified Command structure: the entire planet is divided up into geographic Combatant Commands under the control of the Pentagon. According to (former) NATO Commander General Wesley Clark, the Pentagon’s military road-map consists of a sequence of war theaters: “[The] five-year campaign plan [includes]… a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.” A War on Iran has been on the drawing board of The Pentagon since 2004.
Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program is the pretext and the justification. Tehran is also identified as a “State sponsor of terrorism”, for allegedly supporting the Al Qaeda network.
In the wake of the war on Libya, there are also war plans directed against under NATO’s Responsibility to Protect (R2P).
