U.S. Versus China and Russia for Third World Hearts and Minds

U.S. Versus China and Russia for Third World Hearts and Minds

While conducting an interview for Voice of Russia’s John Robles, I made the statement that Russia should challenge U.S. interests everywhere.  With respect to the Crimea, the U.S. has attempted to paint Russia as a rogue state engaging in imperial conquest when instead it was merely reclaiming a small area of land that had always belonged to Russia while protecting the land’s inhabitants who themselves are ethnic Russians.  Because the U.S. has placed itself in such ridiculous, hypocritical and contradictory position, it naturally does not want attention called to its schizophrenic foreign policy. 

Because of its schizophrenic foreign policy the U.S now operates from a weakened position militarily, economically and politically as its disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now its failed attempts to even be able to intervene in Syria expose just how destructive, irrelevant and impotent the U.S. has become. 

U.S. foreign policy is schizophrenic because it supports self-determination in Kosovo but not in Crimea where millions of Russians live in a land that had belonged to Russia and through the dissolution of the Soviet Union were abandoned.  The U.S. supported the bombing and killing of thousands of civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, a war crime under international law that General Wesley Clark admitted to in his book about the war on Serbia, to force the surrender of Kosovo to the Albanian mafia.  But, the U.S. refuses to acknowledge a true civil government that had already been granted autonomy.  If that autonomy means anything, it means the autonomy of Crimean Russians to have the right to decide democratically to have their people and land repatriated. 

The schizophrenic U.S. foreign policy has American citizens waging a war on al Qaeda while the U.S. is now allowing its allies to arm it with advanced anti-armor and advanced anti-aircraft missiles systems.  This schizophrenic foreign policy is represented in waging war for democracy and touting democratic platitudes while supporting the brutal dictatorships in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.  This schizophrenic behavior is represented in the U.S. denouncing terrorism while cozying up to the Saudis who fund al Qaeda through U.S. petrol dollars as an arm of their foreign policy through which they threaten members of the U.N. Security Counsel with terrorism.  The list U.S. incoherence could go on forever.

A problem the U.S. now faces is that it can no longer economically threaten countries that are integrated into a globalist system and its threats threaten not only those who oppose U.S. hegemony, but also those nations the U.S. had considered its closest NATO allies.  The fact is that the U.S. is now like a rude and drunk guest of the EU’s whose excesses have become so crude that Europe is now politely trying to distance itself from the harm the U.S. is intent on causing while having given up trying to use reason to influence a reasonable course of action. 

The U.S., in its current condition, perceives every act of defiance as the beginning of the toppling of the dominoes that will quickly overtake U.S. global leadership.  It worries that every conflict will expose the U.S.’s inability to not just dictate, but also to be even able to influence the terms of geopolitical disagreements. Obama worries the American people will begin to understand the complete and utter failure of the neocon’s Project for a New American Century and hopes the American people remain ignorant as to the harm they have caused lest there be a revolution in the U.S.  The U.S. economy is in a shambles and gone are the days when the U.S. could literally ship hundreds of tons of palletized hundred dollar bills to Iraq in a ham-fisted attempt to rebuild civil society.

U.S. interests do not have to be challenged through the threat of military force, but instead by mutually beneficial trade agreements that exclude the U.S.  It is the building of economic cooperation that most vexes Washington.  Russia has now begun to assert itself by offering China a reliable market and working to become a major oil exporter to Asia and developing a Urasian trade pact.  China has begun to assert itself by working to provide an economic alternative to Africa.  Both Russia and China are working to provide Africa with what it needs to build societies with economic order.  The U.S. has countered these efforts with Africom and has begun turning this force structure into a war command. The extent of the to the U.S.’s working to create chaos in Africa to counter China’s effort to promote economic development has been detailed here by reporter Nick Turse as U.S. officials openly talk of invading Africa.

However, the challenge by Russia and China will not be for land, resources or military bases, but for the hearts and minds of those who have been abused and made the victims of neo-colonialism and imperialism.  China and Russia are not a challenge to the American people, but instead a help to the American people who should rightly see that the global pyramid scheme known as the petrodollar recycling scam as a means the U.S. has used to expand its tyranny on such a global scale that it now serves as a knife to the throat of the American people.  It is the American people for whom their political masters count on to serve as the empire’s indentured imperial stormtroopers.

One wonders how the U.S. can have the chutzpah to utter such brazen hypocrisies ,non-sequiturs, paradoxical absurdities and outright fallacies as when Secretary of State John Kerry stated, “You just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests. This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It’s really 19th century behavior in the 21st century.”  Yet, it has been the U.S. who has provided phony intelligence briefings to the U.N.  It was the U.S. who provided phony reports of WMDs in Iraq.  It was the U.S. who provided false intelligence that blamed Assad for chemical weapons attacks that has been proven to be the work of Turkey’s Erdogan.  The truth has been laid bare by investigative reporter Symour Hirsh’s article here about gun-running through the Libyan consulate and the killings of U.S. State Department personnel who had threatened to expose the false flag chemical attacks being blamed on Syria. It was the U.S. Senate who here in its hallowed chambers took a spanking at the hands of British MP George Galloway who exposed U.S. propaganda and economic cooperation with Saddam.

It is the U.S. who hides the reports of its own intelligence agencies to sell to its own people and the world lies about an Iranian nuclear program.  It is the U.S. who has provided the world with phony nuclear documents, phony laptop computers, phony propaganda about Gaddafi providing Viagra so Libyan troops could perpetrate mass rape and phony propaganda about Iraqi soldiers throwing babies to the ground to steal incubators.  Yet, the U.S media never seems to once call the U.S. government liars to account.

It is a sad and dangerous day for the world when the bedrock and strength of U.S. foreign policy is represented in paradoxical absurdities.  U.S. domination will be challenged when the world realizes all the U.S. has to offer for export is advanced weapons systems produced by an economy that has become so addicted to military spending and war that it needs the entire planet to become armed to the teeth as the U.S. continues to spends more money than the rest of the world combined to promote and engage in war while also funding global conflicts.

It is an abomination that the U.S. now tries to blame Russia for the chaos and strife it has created.  Russia did not spend a single ruble to generate opposition to U.S. foreign policy that now numbers in the millions in the Ukraine. Is it any wonder that millions of foreign patriots want to be free of Washington dictates? The U.S. has bribed Ukrainian opposition and has spent upwards of 5 billion dollars to fund criminal and fascists groups that have worked to destabilize their country so as to then sell out their own people and country to the imperial interests of the highest bidder.  A true statesman would lead a revolt and would assassinate these corrupt traitors who falsely and treasonously claim to be legitimate government.

The U.S. can be challenged through people rightfully determining that the U.S. has nothing to offer the world except advanced weapons exports from a U.S. economy that has become so addicted to the military-industrial complex that it needs to spend more money than the rest of the world combined to foment war and fund conflict to keep its economy from completely collapsing.

The media then tries to portray Putin as a KGB criminal mastermind while he has said barely a word and has done everything in his power to de-escalate tensions and nothing to stoke the flames of passion.  The U.S.’s incoherence has become so profound that it makes Putin’s reasonableness look genius.  While Obama’s constant babble and bluster makes him look metrosexual, Putin’s quiet confidence provides a air of manliness that Obama would do well to emulate.

As Obama’s words add insult to the injuries caused by crazed neocons, the rest of the world wonders how the U.S. can have the brazenness to not only threaten harm to the economies of its allies who oppose Washington’s Crimean “policy”, but also to spy on officials at the highest levels of allied foreign governments.

While the U.S. media has tried to portray Russia as intent on building an empire, the fact is that the U.S. has been so incompetent, arrogant and ignorant in terms of executing its foreign policy that it has entire regions of people up in arms, demanding self-determination, succession, and opposition to U.S. puppet rulers who were bought and paid for though U.S. funded NGOs like the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID.  It is an abomination to truth itself that the U.S. now tries to blame Russia for the chaos and strife it has created.  While the U.S. spent an admitted $5 billion dollars to create chaos in the Ukraine, Russia did not spend a single ruble to generate an opposition to U.S. foreign policy that now numbers in the millions in Crimea alone.

Is it any wonder that millions of foreign patriots want to be free of Washington dictates? The U.S. has bribed Ukrainian opposition and has spent upwards of $5 billion dollars to fund criminal and fascists groups that have worked to destabilize their country so as to then sell out their own people and country to the imperial interests of the highest bidder.  These Ukrainian people are not statesmen in the tradition of Vladimir Putin.  A true statesman would lead a revolt and would assassinate these corrupt traitors who falsely and treasonously claim to be legitimate government.
