Why are you so certain that Kerry or Bush "will have to" invade and occupy
Iran and North Korea -- the imminent "wars and occupations" you must have in
mind? Or were you perhaps thinking of Venezuela and Cuba, or all four at
once? And why are you so sure neither Kerry nor Bush will withdraw American
forces from Iraq, either voluntarily after stabilizing the country under a
client regime, or because they are forced to by the armed resistance?
Four more years of war(s) and occupation(s) is quite an ambitious agenda for a ruling class which already feels trapped in Iraq, wouldn't you agree? Clearly, you believe US and Western capitalism is in terminal crisis and has exhausted its traditional neocolonialist economic and political control mechanisms, leaving naked military predation as the only option available to it to secure global markets and resources. Is this not what your statement implies?
