“Soft Coup” in Washington? Democratic Party Establishment Sacrifices Biden to Save the Permanent War Policy

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

There is an old joke, often repeated in diplomatic circles, especially among officials from nations which have been targeted by the U.S. for regime change coups: Why has there never been a coup in the United States.  The answer: Because there is no U.S. Embassy there!

Events of the last five weeks, leading up to the letter from President Biden on July 21 announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential campaign, demonstrate that with both parties under the control of a corporate donor class committed to wars to defend the crumbling Unipolar Order, there is no need for a U.S. embassy to carry out a coup in the U.S., especially as this policy is reinforced by the corporate media run by the same pro-war forces.
