The current grave economic crisis in the United States will not halt the country’s militarism across the world, says a Detroit-based journalist.
“I do not believe that the sequestration will stop the ongoing United States Pentagon war machine. The only real cuts in relationship to the military that have been discussed deals with the role of civilians who work for the Department of Defense,” Editor of Pan-African News Wire, Abayomi Azikiwe, told Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Sunday.
“But in regard to scaling back the drone attacks, the bombings, the ground operations, the special forces operations, the role of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and other spy groups inside the United States, they will not be impacted in regard to this forced reduction in the United States operating budget,” he added.
On Friday President Obama signed an order authorizing the government to begin cutting $85 billion from federal accounts, officially enacting across-the-board spending reductions.
“The sequestration is something that has been utilized to further impose austerity on the people inside the United States,” Azikiwe said.
