It is worth noting here the Corporate US Military Intelligence War Mongers are doing everything Carter accuses their latest enemy choice of doing:

"Although the US military “do not seek” a new Cold War,"

- The US military intelligence network has been waging a cold war with Russian and China for the past five years, and now is doing everything it can to purposely escalate and provoke a HOT war. Just ask John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"“nuclear saber-rattling” and “violating
: sovereignty” of US allies,"

- Pure hypocrisy. Acting as the international bad boy, and belligerent war mongering predator state, the US has officially violated the national sovereignty of every nation on the planet for the past 150 years.

"“Terror elements like ISIL, of course, stand entirely opposed
: to our values."

- Carter needs to understand that in order to have an individual or group opposed to a value, there first has to be a value in place.

Since the US foreign policy is the PNAC Wolfowitz Doctrine, which is fulfilling plans to destroy seven sovereign countries in five years - where Brzezinski salivates over marching into Moscow on the back of a battle tank - where no other nation is allowed equal footing with the dominate dimwit Corporate US - the 'values' Carter stands for are only the lowest of the low standards for integrity of international relationships.

Carter does a very poor job of doublespeak here, with Carter knowing full well the ISIL terrorist organization is his departments own creation.

"Russia and China are challenging “American
: preeminence” and Washington’s so-called “stewardship of the
: world order” as they reassert themselves on the
: international arena as serious military powers."

- Preeminence. Preeminence? By what authority does the Corporate US claim 'Preeminence' over anyone or anything?

Is it because they have more weapons?

Because they lie better than most?

Because they are literally destroying the planet?

Because they MURDER more people EVERY DAY than the total population of a medium sized city?

Because if you steal a little they put you in jail, but if you steal enough they make you king?

Has Corporate US earned their place as a welcomed leader of the world, or has the international criminal corporate state earned its stripes as the mad dog predator of the planet?

Any Human Being who does NOT stand opposed to 'values' as the 'values' are presented by the Corporate US Predator state, is not a Human Being, period - which underscores why a corrupt criminal corporate fascist state offense secretary can see value in the predator state's actions.

: Although the US military “do not seek” a new Cold War, it is
: determined to oppose the rising global powers – Russia and
: China – in order to protect the US-dominated “international
: order,” US Defense Secretary Ash Carter has said.

: Carter delivered this surprisingly direct and candid program
: statement, riddled with accusations against Russia for what
: he called “nuclear saber-rattling” and “violating
: sovereignty” of US allies, at the Ronald Reagan
: Presidential Library, AP reported on Saturday.

: Russians! Soviet-era 'plot' advances hawks' agenda
: The US official once again put Russia and China in the same
: league as Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) when
: listing America’s top-ranked bogeymen.
: “Terror elements like ISIL, of course, stand entirely opposed
: to our values. But other challenges are more complicated,
: and given their size and capabilities, potentially more
: damaging,” he said.
: “Some actors appear intent on eroding these principles and
: undercutting the international order that helps enforce
: them… Of course, neither Russia nor China can overturn that
: order. But both present different challenges for it,”
: Carter said.
: According to AP, Russia and China are challenging “American
: preeminence” and Washington’s so-called “stewardship of the
: world order” as they reassert themselves on the
: international arena as serious military powers.

: According to Carter, their “challenging activities” can be
: seen at every possible level, be it at sea, in the air, in
: space – or even in cyberspace. “Most disturbing” for the US
: official, however, is what he called “Moscow’s nuclear
: saber-rattling,” which in his view “raises questions about
: Russian leaders’ commitment to strategic stability, their
: respect for norms against the use of nuclear weapons, and
: whether they respect the profound caution nuclear-age
: leaders showed with regard to the brandishing of nuclear
: weapons.”

: It is not quite clear exactly what “brandishing” Carter was
: referring to, but there was, indeed, a recent Russian
: reaction to new US plans to deploy advanced nuclear bombs
: at the Büchel Air Base in Germany. The deployment is the
: latest move planned as part of a joint NATO nuclear sharing
: program, which involves non-nuclear NATO states hosting
: more than 200 US nuclear warheads.

: The Kremlin said that new US nukes deployed in Europe would
: destroy the strategic balance in the region and force
: Russia to take similar measures.

: “This is another step and, unfortunately, it is a very serious
: step, towards an increase in tensions on the European
: continent… It may lead to the destruction of the strategic
: balance in Europe. Therefore it would definitely cause
: Russia to take corresponding counter-steps and
: counter-measures in order to restore the strategic balance
: and parity,” President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary,
: Dmitry Peskov, told reporters in September.
