The cheering section for World War III
12/27/2020 // News Editors // Views

America repeatedly elects and re-elects champions of "regime change" in nations abroad (George W. Bush in 2000, Barack Obama in 2008, Donald Trump in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020), such as in Iraq in 2003, and in Afghanistan in 2001, and in Libya in 2011, and in Syria in 2011-2020, and in Yemen in 2015-2020, and in Ukraine in 2010-2014; and, in all instances, has destroyed those nations while claiming to be supporting 'human rights' and 'democracy' and to be 'opposing corruption' in all of those nations that it was actually destroying.

(Article by Sundance republished from ModernDiplomacy.eu)

Joe Biden, like all 21st Century U.S. Presidents except Donald Trump, wants regime change in Russia, and that would require WW III. Only people who are either very stupid or very evil want that. Which is Joe Biden? Which was Barack Obama? Which was Hillary Clinton (whom Trump had beaten)? Which was Bush? All of them were supported by the post-World-War-II, permanent-Cold-War, endless-war, Washington Establishment, and by the controlling owners of America's international corporations such as Lockheed Martin and ExxonMobil. And, therefore, all of them were elected to lead America's Government. It's a bipartisan Establishment, which includes every American billionaire (none mobilizes against imperialism, or "neoconservatism"), and which chooses the Presidential and almost all Congressional nominees of both of America’s two political Parties. So, Americans always 'elect' such leaders, in this permanent-warfare 'democracy'. But its' going to war against Russia — a real war against Russia — would be different, because that would be a nuclear war, all-out, instantaneous, and all of the weapons on both sides would be launched within less than an hour. There would be no looking back and correcting strategic errors, no recalibrations, no second-guesses. It would be historically unique, and all of the guesses would be made within that few-minutes-long period, and would be final.

A part of this Establishment is the magazine Foreign Policy, which is owned by the pro-imperialist (or "neoconservative") Donald Graham, who virtually never has opposed any American aggression and has conspicuously supported them all. He used to own the Washington Post, which he sold in 2013 to the like-minded Jeff Bezos. America's billionaires own or control all its major news-media and almost all of its online media that have a significantly large audience. (After all: billionaires can buy anything, and once they buy it, they control it.) This is how Americans always come to 'elect' such people to lead the country and to choose judges such as on the U.S. Supreme Court, who will see the world in essentially the same way that they do. Regardless of whether the liberal or the conservative version of that way, it's the Establishment way. As the Nobel Peace Prize winner American President Barack Obama phrased that way, numerous times, while he was America's President, "The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation", meaning that every other country — including Russia — is "dispensable." In fact, during his second term (after the first term, while he hid this), he constantly identified Russia as being America's main enemy, but was a skillful enough politician to make fun of, and casually to ridicule, his 2012 'election' opponent, Mitt Romney's having said that "Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe." Obama was implying that he didn't agree with that statement. It's because of lies like this (to the effect that Obama opposed American imperialism), that Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize. Secretly, even at the very start of his first term, his Administration were preparing to restart the Cold War in a very serious way, by preparing to take over Russia's next-door neighbor Ukraine and Russia's Arab ally Syria. But no matter how many times the American public have been lied-to, they never get the hint; and, so, even at the end of Obama's Presidency, he wasn't considered a war-monger by most Americans: he had a 59% job-approval rating at the end of his Presidency. (And, of course, some of the other 41% disapproved of his Presidency for reasons that were lies from agents of the Republican Party's billionaires; so, only far fewer than 41% had any idea, at all, that he, like his immediate predecessor, had been perhaps America's most harmful and worst, of all Presidents.) Both of America's political Parties represent only the billionaires who fund them, never  the U.S. public. It's a phony 'democracy', but few Americans even know this. The problem isn't lack of democracy abroad: it is lack of democracy in U.S. federal 'elections'. This Government is, in fact, a dictatorship, but it uses propaganda to fool the public to think otherwise. The problem is here at home. The following is an example:

Donald Graham's Foreign Policy magazine published an article on November 13th, headlined "Biden's Putin Challenge". Its sub-head is "Biden has a clear-eyed view of the threat posed by Russia — but a lot of bad advice to ignore." Its warning is that "Too often, Washington seems to want better relations with Moscow than Moscow wants with Washington." Its worry is that Biden might turn out to be "desperate and weak" against Russia. It is as if the end of Russia's communism, and of the Soviet Union and of its military Warsaw Pact that had been created in response to America's having created its military NATO alliance against communism, had all never even happened.

The article asserted that:

Russia under Putin poses an existential threat to the United States and other countries of the West, Russia's neighbors, and his own people. Biden seems to understand that, not least because he has been the target of Russian interference in the 2020 election, including a disinformation campaign tied to Russia that was designed to smear him and his son Hunter.

Earlier this year, Biden wrote, "To counter Russian aggression, we must keep [NATO's] military capabilities sharp while also expanding its capacity to take on nontraditional threats, such as weaponized corruption, disinformation, and cybertheft." He continued: "We must impose real costs on Russia for its violations of international norms and stand with Russian civil society, which has bravely stood up time and again against President Vladimir Putin's kleptocratic authoritarian system." In an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes before the election, Biden said he considered Russia "the biggest threat to America right now in terms of breaking up our security and our alliances.”

These instincts are sound, and Biden likely will appoint officials who think the same way he does.

There are too many discredited or else outright disproven statements there to go into any of them, because each would require an article in itself; but, clearly, the intent of each of those allegations is to prepare the American public to support bringing regime-change in Russia — i.e., conquest of Russia's Government, by means of sanctions, coup, or maybe an invasion.

It says that:

The problem is Putin. He simply is not interested in any rethink in U.S.-Russian relations unless that was to involve a capitulation on the part of Washington. As long as Putin remains in power, there is little point in spending precious U.S. diplomatic and presidential time and effort in trying to improve U.S.-Russian relations. There is one exception, however: arms control, where the United States and Russia have a mutual interest in renewing the New START agreement, which is set to expire next February. Just as the United States was able to sign several arms control agreements with the Soviet Union while the two countries were rivals during the Cold War, Washington can today find common ground with Moscow while seeing Putin's Russia as a threat on virtually every other issue. Neither country wants or can afford to engage in an expensive, destabilizing arms race.

It claims to be supporting a peaceful way for America to conquer Russia, presumably by persuading the Russian public to get rid of Putin.

Is there a realistic possibility to conquer Russia's Government while winning the support of the Russian people for that objective — such as this Foreign Policy article urges Biden to do?

On 6 March 2016, Jeff Bezos's newspaper, which he had purchased in 2013 from Donald Graham, headlined "How to understand Putin's jaw-droppingly high approval ratings", and opened "Russian President Vladimir Putin has an 83 percent approval rating." it tried to, but failed to, find a way of explaining this, and it simply concluded that this problem "has flummoxed Western nations and frustrated Russia's motley band of oppositionists. Some of them say that Russians are too scared to speak their minds to pollsters. Others claim that the poll numbers are manipulated, although most Western polling firms arrive at similar figures."

In more depth, the article "Is Putin's popularity real?" in the March 2016 Post-Soviet Affairs, examined this matter. It opened, "Vladimir Putin has managed to achieve strikingly high public approval ratings throughout his time as president and prime minister of Russia. But is his popularity real, or are respondents lying to pollsters?" That article presented a graph, "Figure 1. Vladimir Putin's approval rating: 2000–2015. Source: Levada Center Omnibus Surveys. Data from Russia's two other major polling agencies, VT sIOM and FOM, paint a similar picture." It showed that, going all the way back to the year 2000, when Putin became Russia's leader, the job-approval of Putin has been between 60% and 90%, and it soared (instead of fell) during the period in mid 2013 through and since Obama's coup which in February 2014 overthrew and replaced Russia's neighbor Ukraine's Government by an anti-Russian Ukrainian Government, in order for Obama to become able to grab, for the U.S. Navy, Russia's largest naval base, which is in Crimea. Though Obama's coup succeeded, his goal of grabbing that naval base and turning it into an American one failed. The Russian people supported, and continue to support, Putin's opposition to America's constant efforts to conquer Russia. This study, "Is Putin's popularity real?", therefore concluded by saying (with obvious regret) that "our results suggest that the main obstacle at present to the emergence of a widespread opposition movement to Putin is not that Russians are afraid to voice their disapproval of Putin, but that Putin is in fact quite popular." The problem, for America's dictators (its billionaires), isn't Putin: it is the patriotism of the vast majority of Russians — their support for Russia's national sovereignty, never to yield it up, to any invader.

Consequently, only America's plan to defeat Russia by means of an overwhelming and sudden nuclear blitz-attack will be able to 'win' against Russia. The Foreign Policy article urged Biden to push against Russia at least as hard as his predecessors have done: "Biden should ignore advice to ease or remove sanctions on Russia until Putin withdraws Russia's forces from Ukraine, including Crimea." Of course, Russians would consider any Russian leader who would advocate to withdraw Russia's forces from Ukraine, including Crimea, to be a traitor. (Would Americans think that an American President who allowed Russia to perpetrate an anti-U.S. coup in Mexico, and then to station Russian missiles there against the U.S., to be anything else than a traitor?) Crimea was part of Russia until the Soviet dictator arbitrarily switched it to Ukraine in 1954, and Ukraine's far-eastern Donbass region, which also seceded from Ukraine, had voted more than 90% for the Ukrainian President whom Obama's violent coup overthrew; so, those Russian troops are defending those two areas against Ukraine's efforts to grab them back by military force. Obama had failed in his goal of seizing Russia's naval base in Crimea. No Russian leader will allow any reversal of that U.S. failure. Any attempt by the U.S. regime to reverse it would bring hot war between the U.S. and Russia and would escalate to WW III unless America would back down, which people such as Jeff Bezos and Donald Graham would make career-ending for any U.S. President to do. But America's Establishment treats the American public as being idiots who have no idea about any such realities.

However, since Foreign Policy aims to pressure America's leaders to spend evermore government-money on buying the weaponry of U.S.-based armaments firms such as Lockheed Martin (which, perhaps, most of them are invested in), and to open new grounds for extraction firms such as ExxonMobil (which especially Republican leaders are invested in), it had to deny explicitly that Biden or any other U.S. President would intend any such thing as militarily invading Russia: the blame, for intransigence, is, instead, placed totally against Putin:

Putin is simply not interested in any rethink in U.S.-Russian relations unless that was to involve a capitulation on the part of Washington.

Putin aims for American "capitulation"? Is that what he wants? Or does America demand Russia's capitulation? And how would that be possible, except in a nuclear 'victory' resulting from America's having achieved "nuclear primacy"?

After all of America's sanctions against Russia, and its efforts of subversion against Russia via propagandizing for Russia's oppositionists, and its coup that outright seized Russia's next-door neighbor and that now threatens to bring Ukraine into NATO and to place America's nuclear weapons there — the aggressor is: "Putin"? Really?

The article continues with yet more of the standard — though all entirely either firmly disproven or else never proven — accusations to demonize Putin, a litany of America's standard lies and unproven allegations against him:

Biden's aim to "impose real costs on Russia for its violations of international norms and stand with Russian civil society," as he wrote, reveals a readiness to pursue a long-overdue policy based on principles and values. Given Russia's appalling track record on human rights, the Biden administration should aggressively implement the Magnitsky Act, which penalizes Russian officials who engage in gross human rights abuses. The list of victims of the Putin regime's brutal treatment of its perceived enemies is long. It includes the assassination or poisoning, either in Russia or on Western soil, of the former spies Alexander Litvinenko and Sergei Skripal, the journalist Anna Politkovskaya, and the opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov, Vladimir Kara-Murza, and Alexei Navalny.

Near its end, the article urges Biden to be even more aggressive against Russia than his predecessors were:

Neither Obama nor Trump visited Ukraine or Georgia during their presidency to demonstrate U.S. support at the highest levels for these fledgling democracies. Biden has been to both countries numerous times, and he should include stops there on a trip to Europe. Investing in the success of these countries is a good way to solidify their defense against Moscow. He should also be unequivocal in his support for the people of Belarus in their struggle against Lukashenko.

Finally, the United States must stop enabling Russian corruption. Corruption is Putin's most nefarious and successful export, and the West greedily imports it.

The idea that Russia "exports" and America "imports" corruption, is the exact reverse of the truth. Among the realities which that article is assuming that its readers don't know are the fact that Harvard's economics department were hired by the U.S. Government in the late 1980s and early 1990s to set up capitalism in Russia so as to cut America's billionaires in on the loot, and the fact that those Harvardians did precisely this. As a result, Russia's economy plunged catastrophically under Boris Yeltsin until Putin became President in 2000 and ordered the billionaires to pay to Russia what they owed, or else Russia would outlaw them and pursue them in foreign courts if they refused to comply and instead escaped. Those cases against some who absconded are still pending, more than twenty years later. If U.S.-and-allied billionaires can't get a cut, they want the country to be destroyed; it's their way; it's merely the normal thing for the aristocracy of an imperialistic country. What else is imperialism about? (Few Americans have even a clue as to what it's about.) For the Russian billionaires who agreed to Putin's terms, including never again to become involved in politics, they could stay in Russia, and keep the wealth that was legally theirs. But Putin's bottom line is that any billionaire who violates the conditions will be prosecuted for any violations.

Virtually as soon as Putin came into power in Russia, the national economy turned around. The 1991-1999 collapse ended, and GDP rose almost as fast as in China. And, as a result, Obama was following through on the "Nuclear Primacy" goal of the U.S. Government that had become semi-official policy under George W. Bush's Administration in 2006, of ultimately winning a nuclear war against Russia, instead of the prior-existing (ever since the 1940s) strategy, of using nuclear weapons only in order to prevent a WW III, the shared fear, of Mutually Assured Destruction ("MAD").

So, now, under Biden, it seems that Nuclear Primacy will be ramped up even more than it previously has been. The cheering section is all ready for him to do that.
