Two books to better understand - Cristiano Puglisi's blog

In the last article written for this blogI was the act of the military Keynesism model under western rearm policies and, in particular, European. I must say, with surprise, that this interpretation has recorded a certain interest between friends, readers and free thinkers. Thus feeling competing to deepen, with guilty delay I give news of two full -bodied volumes published, in 2024, for the types of Arianna Editricerespectively by David Colantoni and Filippo Rossi, authors who have no pleasure of knowing personally. The first, “When Ukraine invaded Iraq“, Uses a narrative expedient (the story of the way in which the West pushed, in the context of the” global war on terrorism “of the American administration of George Bush Jr., The Ukrainian of the then president Leonid Kuchma within the coalition that occupied of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq Baathista) to explain how the” military class “and the military-industrial complex They need a state of permanent conflict to extend its power over the West. mechanisms with which it succeeds, from the end of the cold war, to co -opt i client of the European and non -European military classes, voting and binding them to their own cause. Mechanisms that inevitably be based on rich economic reward, both for the military and, above all, for the defense industries. Where perhaps the author sins, in a modest opinion of those who write here, is in underestimating the profound interpenetration existing between what he sees as the new hegemonic class of the West, the “military class”, precisely, and theelite international financial financial which, through increasingly frightening conglomerates, also monopolizes the armament market (as well as those of the pharmaceutical, ofhi-techof the averageenergy and, above all, credit).

The second book, entitled “Born to kill“, The result of a courageous journalistic work on the field that tells detail more than 40 cases of overhaul carried out (by mistake, for wrong reports or, in some cases, for pure cynicism) from the western coalition on the civilian population in Afghanistan along the twenty years of substantial occupation (2001-2021), especially through the hateful practice of the night raidsallows, among other things, to understand how the state of conflict is fueled through the illogical waste of destructive military resources rather than (as it could have been and had to do with those latitudes) reconstructing and starting to the recovery to be battered. As for Afghanistan, the final result of these policies is under the eyes of the world: the return of the Taliban to power after twenty years, poverty, underdevelopment and collective hatred inevitably increased towards the West.
