The existence in Ukraine of two
cultures - one supposedly European and the other Russian - is a singularity
that provides Washington with a field of maneuver against Moscow. The
drums of war have been beating for weeks. But none of Washington's allies
want to die for Kiev or blow themselves up against Russia.
The United States Armed Forces
1- Les Anglos see the Russians as
a hereditary enemy. They are considered despicable people and destined, since
the time of Otto I –in the 10th century–, to be slaves, as indicated by the
term used to denominate them (in English, the word slave designates
both slaves and peoples belonging to the Slavic ethnic group). In the 20th
century, the Anglo-Saxons were against the USSR, supposedly because it was
communist; now they are against Russia ... without knowing why.
2- Second adversary for the
Anglo-Saxons: the enemies that they themselves created by unleashing an «endless
war » against them , since September 11, 2001. They are the
populations of the expanded Middle East (or Greater Middle East ), a region
where the Anglo-Saxons have been destroying since then the states of their
different countries, regardless of whether they are allies or adversaries, to
make them " return to the stone age " and
thus be able to exploit the wealth of that region, following the Rumsfeld /
Cebrowski strategy [ 1 ].
3- Third adversary: China, whose
economic development can relegate them to second place. The Anglo-Saxons
believe that they have no choice but to war. At least that is what his
political scientists think, who even speak of the " Thucydides
trap ", referring to the war that, for similar reasons, was
fought between Sparta and Athens [ 2 ].
4- The disputes with Iran and North
Korea come only much later in relation to the 3 that we have just listed.
The Interim Guidance on
National Security by Joe Biden [ 3 ]
and the Annual Threat Assessment [ 4 ] prepared
by his Intelligence Community thus constantly clinch it from different points
of view.
Fighting three wars at once would be
extremely difficult, so the Pentagon is currently looking at how to prioritize
priorities and will issue its report on the matter in June. The deepest
secret surrounds the work of the commission in charge of this
evaluation. Who composes it is not even known. Despite this, the
administration is already targeting Russia.
Regardless of whether we are
independent or submissive to the United States, we have to stop looking the
other way. The United States of America has no other goal than to destroy
Russian culture, destroy state structures in Arab countries, and ultimately
destroy the Chinese economy. Absolutely none of this is related to the
legitimate defense of the American people. .
There is no other way to explain why
the United States spends such astronomical sums on its armies that many times
exceed the military budgets of those whom Washington presents as " friends "
or " enemies." According to the Institute
for Strategic Studies in London, the military budget of the
United States is at least equal to the sum of the budgets of the 15 most armed
countries in the world [ 5 ].

the 15 countries with the most funds dedicated to this sector (in billions of
US dollars).

The issues of confrontation with Russia
The United States is uneasy about
Russia's recovery. After having registered a brutal fall in life expectancy
–which fell by at least 5 years between 1988 and 1994– Russia recovered and
greatly exceeded –in more than 12 years– the life expectancy registered in the times
of the Union. Soviet, although the healthy life expectancy of Russians is still
one of the lowest in Europe. The Russian economy is diversifying, mainly in the
agricultural sector, but Russia remains dependent on its energy exports. The
armed forces of the Russian Federation have been renewed, its
military-industrial complex is more efficient than that of the Pentagon, and
Russia has acquired significant military experience in Syria.
Washington sees the construction of
the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline as a threat
because it would free Western Europe from its current dependence on American
oil.
At the same time, the return of Crimea
to the Russian Federation and a possible reincorporation of the Donbass are in
part a blow to Ukraine's dependence on the American Empire - Crimea and the
Donbass are not Western in culture.
Last factor, the Russian military
presence in Syria slows down the US project of political destruction against
the peoples of the region.
" If you want
to kill your dog,
say you have anger "
There is no doubt that
it was President Joe Biden who opened hostilities branding to the Russian
president " murderer." Before Biden, the two superpowers
had never exchanged insults, not even in the days of the Gulag indictments. His
interlocutor responded politely and proposed a public debate, which Joe Biden
rejected.
America sees the world only in the
short term. That country does not perceive itself as responsible for its
legacy. For Washington, the "perfidious" Russians have amassed
more than 100,000 men near Ukraine and are preparing to invade it, as did the
Soviets in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Only, at that time, it was not
about Russia but about the USSR, and in Moscow it was not the Putin doctrine
but the Brezhnev doctrine and Brezhnev himself was not Russian ... he was Ukrainian.
Unlike the Americans, the Russians do
have a long-term worldview. For them, the American barbarians have been
endangering the balance of powers since the attacks of September 11, 2001. Immediately
afterwards, on December 13, 2001, President George Bush Jr. announced that the
United States was withdrawing. of the Treaty on Anti-Ballistic Missiles (the
ABM Treaty). Later, the United States incorporated into NATO - one by one -
practically all the former members of the defunct Warsaw Pact and the former
Soviet Union, thus violating the commitment that Washington had made before the
dissolution of the USSR. This policy was confirmed in 2008, in the Bucharest
Declaration [ 6 ].
.
Everyone knows the peculiarity of
Ukraine, with a western culture in its western part and a Russian culture in
the east. Ukraine remained politically frozen for 15 years, until
Washington organized a pseudo revolution there and put its puppets in power -
puppets who are neo-Nazis [ 7 ]. Moscow
reacted quickly enough and the Crimean population proclaimed its independence
and decided [by referendum] to reincorporate that territory into the Russian
Federation. But Moscow was hesitant about what to do about the Donbass and
has since limited itself to handing out Russian passports to the inhabitants of
that region, who see their only hope in Russia.
Biden administration
Since he was a senator,
President Joe Biden today unveiled the Senate introducing legislation intended
by the Pentagon. Already as president, Biden has surrounded himself with
neocons. We will never tire of remembering this: Neocons are Trotskyist
militants recruited by Republican President Ronald Reagan, and since then they
have always sided with power, barring the parenthesis of Jacksonian President
Donald Trump. The fact is that the neocons have constantly switched sides,
siding with the Republican Party as well as on the side of the Democratic
Party, but always on the side of power.
During the " color
revolution " in Maidan Square - in 2013-2014 - Joe Biden ,
who was then vice president of the Obama administration, passionately defended
the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, agents of the NATO stay-behind networks [ 8 ]. Biden then
led operations in Kiev with a State Department associate, Victoria Nuland (Victoria
Nuland's husband, Robert Kagan, is one of the founders of the Project
for a New American Century, the body in charge of raising funds for
Republican George Bush Jr.). .
Now, in 2021, President Biden has
decided to appoint Victoria Nuland as assistant secretary of state. During
the Obama administration, Victoria Nuland had the collaboration of the then US
ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, now ambassador to Greece. As
for the current Secretary of State of Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, it should
be noted that he is judge and party since he is of Ukrainian origin on the mother's
side. Although Blinken was educated in Paris by his mother's second
husband - the lawyer Samuel Pisar, who was an adviser to President Kennedy -
the current Secretary of State is of neo-conservative thinking.
The preparation of confrontation
against Russia
In mid-March 2021, the United States
organized the Defender-Europe 21 maneuvers with its NATO partners,
which will continue until June. It is about resuming the Defender-Europe
20 mega - exercise, whose size and duration were
finally limited due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Defender-Europe 21 is
a gigantic deployment of troops and war material in the realization of a
simulated confrontation against Russia. All this takes place at the same time
as an exercise with strategic bombers in Greece, in the presence of the
aforementioned US ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.
On March 25, Ukrainian President
Volodimir Zelenski published the new Ukrainian Security
Strategy [ 9 ], precisely 3 weeks after
President Biden published the US one. .
In response to NATO, Russia was then
undertaking its own military exercises on its western border, including its
border with Ukraine, and was also sending additional troops to Crimea and even Transnistria.
On April 1, the US Defense Secretary
telephoned his Ukrainian counterpart about a possible increase in tension with
Russia [ 10 ]. Ukrainian
President Volodimir Zelenski then made a statement in which he said he was
monitoring the Russian exercises and claimed that these could be provocations
[ 11 ]. .
On April 2, the United Kingdom
organized a meeting of its Defense and Foreign Ministries with those of
Ukraine, under the leadership of British Minister Ben Wallace [ 12 ],
who was particularly active in the Upper Karabakh conflict. [ 13 ]).
On April 2, President Biden called the
Ukrainian president to guarantee his support against Russia. According to
the Atlantic Council , Biden announced to the Ukrainian
president his decision to hand over a hundred fighter jets ( F-15 and F-16 )
and an E-2C radio - electronic surveillance
plane , currently stationed at Davis Air Base. -Monthan [ 14 ].
On April 4, the chairman of the US
House of Representatives Commission for the Armed Forces - Adam Smith of the
Democratic Party - negotiated with Ukrainian parliamentarians large subsidies
for the Ukrainian army in exchange for the Ukrainian position against the gas
pipeline. Nord Stream 2 [ 15 ].
Ukrainian President Zelenski and the
director of the armament factories Ukroboronprom discreetly made a lightning
Qatar on April 5, 2021 trip.
On April 5, Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenski paid a whirlwind visit to Qatar. Officially it was to develop
commercial relations with Qatar, the main supplier of weapons to the jihadists.
According to our information, on that trip there was talk of a possible
financing of combatants. Among the companions of the Ukrainian president was
Yuriy Gusev, the director general of the military industry Ukroboronprom. It
was this character who sent anti-aircraft missiles to the terrorists of the
Islamic Emirate (Daesh), by order of Qatar [ 16 ].
On April 6, Lithuania, which in the
past protected western Ukraine within its own empire, was informed about the
military situation during a contact between its Defense Minister and his
Ukrainian counterpart [ 17 ].
Ukrainian President Zelenski meets with
the chairman of the NATO Military Committee on April 7, 2021.
On April 6 and 7, British General
Stuart Peach, president of the NATO Military Committee, traveled to Ukraine to
specify the reforms necessary for that country to become a member of the
Atlantic alliance [ 18 ]. .
On April 9, in compliance with the
Montreux Convention, the Pentagon informed Turkey of its intention to transit
warships through the Dardanelles and Bosphorus Straits.
Having already discussed
weapons and money with Emir Tamin in Qatar, Ukrainian President Zelenski
traveled to Turkey on April 10, 2021, to talk with Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan about sending men.
On April 10, Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan received Ukrainian President Zelenski in Istanbul, allegedly in
the framework of regular consultations between Turkey and Ukraine [ 19 ].
Already counting on the green light from Qatar, Turkey - a NATO member country
- immediately began recruiting jihadists of various nationalities present in
Syria to send them to fight in the Donbass (eastern Ukraine). Turkish military
instructors quickly arrived at the port of the city of Mariupol, where the
International Islamist Brigade [ 20 ],
created by Turkish President Erdogan and his Ukrainian counterpart at that
time, Petro Porochenko, already has its headquarters , with Tatars
who follow orders from the United States, to be used against Russia. .
Acting with all logic, the Russian
Federation sent troops to its border with Ukraine. The other members of the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) asked Moscow for
explanations about their maneuvers and received evasive responses. The 1999
Vienna Document stipulates that OSCE member states must provide each other with
the necessary indications on the movements of their troops and war materiel.
But it is known that Russians do not function like Westerners - they inform
their public opinion and their partners or interlocutors only when they have
finished their deployments. .
Two days later, the G7 published a
statement on the Russian movements ... but without mentioning the deployments
of NATO and Turkey. The G7 also praised Ukraine's containment and demanded that
Russia " put an end to its provocations " [ 21 ].
On April 13, on the occasion of the
meeting of the foreign ministers of the NATO member countries with the Ukraine
/ NATO Commission, the United States resorted to “heavy artillery” inviting all
the members of the Atlantic alliance - where no one wants to die just because
the Ukrainians can't get a divorce - to give their support to Kiev and to
denounce the " escalation " of Russia [ 22 ].
Biden's Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, had a long meeting with the
Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dimitro Kuleba [ 23 ].
Washington was heading inexorably toward war.
Suddenly, President Joe Biden defused
the atmosphere by telephoning Russian President Vladimir Putin. He
proposed a summit meeting to him - although he had previously rejected Putin's
proposal for a public debate with disdain, a proposal that Putin issued after
the public insult uttered by Biden [ 24 ]. After
that initiative, it seemed possible to avoid war.
However, on April 14, Secretary of
State Blinken summoned the main allies of the United States - Germany, France,
Italy and the United Kingdom - to mobilize them [ 25 ].
On April 15, President Joe Biden laid
out his vision of the conflict, expelled 10 Russian diplomats and adopted
sanctions against Russia, accusing it not only of having offered bonuses for
killing American soldiers in Afghanistan but also of having attacked the
computer systems of the US government using SolarWinds software [ 26 ]. .
Predictably, Russia expelled a similar
number of American diplomats. But he also set a trap for a Ukrainian
diplomat, whom he arrested in flagrant crime of espionage, in possession of
Russian documents classified as military secret..
Always following the same line,
Ukrainian President Zelenski met with French President Emmanuel Macron and
German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The latter deplored the " Russian
escalation " ... but were evasive as to what will happen in the
near future. Ultimately, if the United States and Russia are going to
talk… it is too early to go to die for Kiev.
