Obama's Failed Asia Trip:
Nothing Left But War
by Mike Billington

April 28—President Barack Obama will return from his April 22-29 Asia tour tomorrow, having failed to accomplish any of the objectives that were spelled out on the eve of his four-nation excursion.

This Week's Cover

  • Obama's Failed Asia Trip:
    Nothing Left But War
    President Barack Obama returned from his April 22-29 Asia tour having failed to accomplish any of the objectives that were spelled out on the eve of his four-nation excursion. He failed to arm-twist the Japanese into significant economic concessions aimed at pushing ahead with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free-trade scheme; he failed to get Japan to sign off on new U.S. sanctions against Russia; and he failed in his efforts to bridge the conflicts between Japan and South Korea, two key Asian nations which are part of the Obama scheme to build a containment alliance against China. As his 'Asia-pivot' scheme falls apart, Obama faces collapsing support at home as well.

  • Rogers Campaign Breaking Bush Stranglehold on Texas
    Dems Having ignored Lyndon LaRouche's warning in 1980 that the Democratic Party would lose the state of Texas if it continued to reject the FDR/JFK tradition, the Party now finds itself in precisely that position. But real Democrats are rallying around Kesha Rogers' campaign for Senate against Wall Street shill David Alameel.

    Fusion Power for NAWAPA XXI

    Lyndon LaRouche gave this weekly webcast address on April 25, at www. larouchepac.com. Given the global economic and financial crisis, he said, 'there is no chance for the United States, now, unless we are going back to a higher energy-flux density per capita, which means, going into thermonuclear fusion as the leading driving point for the United States and others. If we do not shift to a thermonuclear fusion orientation, the United States is not going to make it!'
