The Russian Bear rouses from Hibernation

kingfisher | 12.02.2007 12:58 | Analysis | Globalisation | World

Speaking at the Munich security conference, Vladimir Putin took the opportunity to denounce America for its pursuit of world domination. Putin's verbal attack lacked the clout the old Soviet Union once possessed, however, the message was not lost on the Americans who immediately went into recovery/spin mode regarding their hegemonic pursuits.

America's ambitions were made plain by arch-neoconservative, Richard Perle, who stated that after the fall of the Soviet Union America was perfectly positioned to impose its will onto the world - PNAC without the gloss! This 'philosophy' is shared by other rabid sociopaths of note, particularly Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice and the retired (damage is done) Donald Rumsfeld. Cheney's terminology of "taking out" regimes and leaders who obstruct America's Middle East oil supplies is indicative of a brutish approach that has resulted in a horrendous civilian death toll in Iraq.

The brutish, cowboy logic of the neo-cons is personified in the imbecile, Bush, whose repertoire of political skills amounts to the garbled mutterings of a caveman and the application of brute force! Putin merely stated what analysts and commentators have known for years, however, it was the assertion or the act of open opposition to U.S. ambitions that is worthy of some analysis. It would seem that Russia has learnt from its previous blunders in the Balkans and is now quietly but steadfastly supporting its traditional ally, Serbia, in relation to Kosovo and Serbian sovereignty.

The proposed installation of U.S. anti-missile 'defence' systems in Poland and the Czech Republic (clearly targeting Russia) may have had 'some' bearing on Putin's verbal attack on American military expansionism. It may have finally dawned on the Russian body politic that America could care less about the chaos it inflicts as long as its primary aims of securing energy reserves and preparing for all-out conflict/war with Russia and China are fulfilled. America has made no secret of the fact that it "must fight" China one day - that day would seem nearer than most anticipated. The cowboy logic of this 'town' isn't big enough for the three of us typifies the limitations of the current regime!

The facts are plain; America has expressed no interest in arriving at shared, cooperative solutions to the world's problems, it wants it all and will stop at nothing to achieve its sociopathic aims (PNAC). If we use the single criterion of civilian casualties as defining terrorist activity, the USA leads all other groups as the most criminal terrorist organisation in the world! The few thousand deaths attributed to al-Qaeda are dwarfed by the hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths the U.S. is directly responsible for in Iraq. The U.S. commits its crimes with the impunity that hegemony offers!

The Sino-Russian alliance has no choice but to face the option of an instant, decisive, overwhelming, pre-emptive response to the threat it now faces or to suffer horrendous defeat in the near future.

The psychopath MUST be eliminated. Facts speak louder than spin. The most destructive nation in the world today is AMERICA - the proof is on the nightly news, if you would care to face the ugly truth!


We are ONE.
