Washington, 9 Muharram 1436/2 November 2014 (MINA)  – US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has called the new world order an era with endless wars saying America should prepare for this epoch.

“We are seeing a new world order — post-World War II, post-Soviet Union implosion — being built,” Hagel said in Ekaterina, Blinova on Thursday, according to Press TV reports quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA), Sunday.

He said certain issues are currently posing serious threats to the United States and that the US would have to continue to deal with these issues in the “foreseeable future”.

“Tyranny, terrorism” and other threats are “going to be with us,” he said, adding, “I see these things continuing to stay out of there.”

He described the US as the global leader which will “continue to grapple with overseas threat for the foreseeable future”.

Hagel also said US-led campaign against the ISIL terrorist group in the Middle East is “a steady, long-term effort. It’s going to require coalitions of common interest.”

Since late September, the US and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.

The Syria air campaign is an extension of airstrikes on ISIL positions in neighboring Iraq, launched by the US and some of its NATO allies since early August.

The ISIL terrorists, some of whom were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, now control large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.

US intelligence estimates that as many as 300 Americans are fighting alongside the terrorists in Iraq and Syria, prompting widespread concern that they may threaten their homeland upon their return.

New world order dangerous for humanity

“We are seeing a new world order — post-World War II, post-Soviet Union implosion — being built,” Hagel said in Ekaterina, Blinova on Thursday.

The Pentagon chief said the United States was currently facing a series of threats that would have to be dealt with in the “foreseeable future.”

Hagel’s remarks “seem to illustrate two important aspects of our culture here in the United States and that is that we are a capitalist-corporate system and that we are predominately a military industrial complex,” former CIA contractor Steven D. Kelley told Press TV on Saturday.

“The capitalist system requires constant growth over a long-term period, so when you have a country that is dependent on military industrial complex for economic growth, you have a system that essentially requires long-term never-ending war which will constantly be increasing,” he continued.

This means that corporations and weapons manufacturers are in need of endless wars, Kelley said. “[But] the world is a finite space and you cannot have endless wars so eventually this will have to require creating wars even in domestic situations.”

“So clearly this is a very dangerous [and] scary situation for everybody in the world because there is no desire for peace and no desire for the war to ever stop,” he continued. “And this is definitely a bad situation for all humans on earth.”

Former and current US officials have acknowledged that the new war against ISIL in Iraq and Syria could potentially last for decades.

“What we’re seeing in the Middle East with ISIL is going to require a steady, long-term effort. It’s going to require coalitions of common interest,” Hagel said Thursday. (T/P3/R01)
