They were the Neo-Con knuckleheads calling for a “New Pearl Harbor” to galvanize American public opinion into a vast national-building and military-power-projection project in the Middle East. The objective was, of course, to secure American dominance and control over the world’s energy supplies, and to maintain a monopoly on access to “archaeological sites of interest” to said oligarchs and plutocrats. The trouble was (and is) that terrorism just didn’t have the same panache as the Soviet Union with its gigantic ICBMs crawling through Red Square on May Day. The trouble was Islamic terrorists were…well… Islamic, and the culture was just too strange and mysterious for most Americans to wrap their heads around. It was and is “too different.” The same problem held to a certain extent with China. With Russia one had an enemy one could identify with: it was both European, but Asian; it was Christian, but with some sort of “weird difference”, and it had and has an alphabet that is both recognizable, and isn’t. So there was always an element in the western oligarchy – think, for a moment, of Hillary Clinton and her “Russia reset button” – that wanted to restart the Cold War.
This brings us to point number (2): The trouble, of course, is that things have moved on since the Cold War. Russia has made new friends and expanded its economy dramatically. Old Cold war animosities with mainland China have been tabled, and it has strengthened old ties with India. Most notably, it reached out to its old Axis enemies, Germany and Japan, with major trade deals (in Germany’s case) and agreements with Japan’s Shinzo Abe to allow Japanese to live on Shakalin island, which both the Russian and Japanese leaders agreed to view as a kind of free trade zone. In Germany’s case, the effort was not successful, as the USA blew up the Nordstream pipeline, and Chancellor Scholz appears to be the latest European incarnation of the American lap-poodle. In any case, Russia has also updated its military capabilities to an extent that the old Cold War confrontations of the imagination are no longer the only way it has of dealing with the West. It has deliberately expanded its range of response mechanisms and capabilities as it speaks now of “horizontal escalation”, and warns the west that it is “updating” its nuclear doctrine. These capabilities have been on display with the West’s proxy war with Russia via the Ukraine. Try as the West’s Mighty Wurlitzer propatainment media might, a losing and increasingly disastrous military situation for the latter just cannot be spun into success.
This brings us to point (3). In looking back at the warnings emanating from the Kremlin over the past two decades, I’ve been arguing that the Russian government viewed itself as not being at war with “the West,” but rather with the western leadership and oligarchical class. This view of things was sparked by the curious remarks made by economist Sergei Glazyev shortly after the Maidan coup in the Ukraine that brought the current cabal of misfits into power in Kiev, thank you U.S. State Department. Glazyev said – in what may surely be taken as an informed warning – that Russia’s problem “was not the Nazis in Kiev, it was the Nazis in Washington.” In other words, it was a problem of a hidden ideology of fascism and the partisans adhering to it, that controlled American policy. The warnings over the years since have been startk and unequivocal: target us, and we will target you. The warnings, in other words, were and are to the leadership class of the West, not to the nations themselves. The warnings are to the George Soroses, Klaus (Bloh)Schwabs, Boris Johnsons, Lindsey Graham(cracker)s, and other incorrigible blowhards of Neocon western policy. (Yes, this means you, Victoria.) We are dealing with a thermonuclear power (the world’s leading thermonuclear power, in terms of numbers of warheads), with the capability of dropping warheads or drones to within a few meters of its target. These warnings, you might also recall, increased ion frequency and number after the abortive Ukrainian attempts to fire drones at the Kremlin. The Kremlin was not buying the idea that the Ukraine did it entirely on its own. Such precision attacks would have required absolutely the covert participation of western military powers with space-based targeting capabilities. Think the usual suspects here,
What most people forget are those stories of drones appearing over restricted American military airspace in this country that also occurred within the same temporal context. There was no doubt in my mind then, and is not now, that these events and incidents were “return to sender” messages from Moscow,” just as the ammunition plant explosions in the UK and Germany are also probably examples of “horizontal escalation,” grim reminders that Russia maintains on the ground human intelligence capabilities.
