But while that smug pose may count for something in terms of propaganda, it doesn't count for much on the actual battlefield, where bullets, shells, armor, hi-tech weapons, and good generalship—not to mention the capacity to produce the instruments of war at mind-boggling industrial rates— determine the ultimate outcome. In Ukraine, however, America and its NATO vassals, drunk on their own supremacist beliefs, finally bit more than they could chew. For, instead of picking a second—or third-tier military foe to mess with, like Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, or Libya, they picked probably the world's top military peer (actually superior in many aspects of advanced military technology), none other than Russia, a superpower long underestimated by the arrogant and shamelessly ignorant Russophobic neocon cliques that run America's foreign policy. Their unrelenting intrigues have now landed America in a trap; she is bouncing around hanging on to the tiger's tail, and there is no escaping that situation alive, or in America's case, with at least a modicum of imperial honor. Why? Because Moscow will not likely permit it. In fact, anything less than that, anything allowing the empire a dignified exit from the Ukraine swamp only to retrain its evil forces on China, could trigger the long-sought coup against Pres. Putin, not by forces controlled by the West but by Russian patriots who might regard any pact with the West at this point—an entity notoriously incapable of honoring any treaty or agreement—as a senseless betrayal of Russia's sacrifices and legitimate quest for a firm and unshakeable security. The constant fatuous noise made by the disgusting Neocons justifies their wariness.
Indeed, the insufferably arrogant Neocons, the US ruling class faction directly responsible for the coming debacle and the general mismanagement of US foreign policy, have actually put Moscow on notice about this. The psychos in the powerful Kagan-Nuland mafia, for example, which includes Victoria Nuland, her husband Robert Kagan, Tony Blinken, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and others of similar caliber, have openly said or intimated that they seek regime change in Moscow and the dismemberment of Russia, pretty much confirming that Ukraine is just a proxy, a tool, for Washington's ulterior criminal designs. (As is well-known, by doctrine, the Neocons seek the same for China and any country posing a threat to US complete hegemony). Considering, this, therefore, and until US politicians and Neocons in general stop trash-talking Russia, or show that they have sobered up, a long wait, no doubt, what Russian leadership could think conducting negotiations with such characters is a good idea? Judge for yourselves. Here's Nuland fielding questions from one of those inevitable eunuchs one finds in establishment circles these days:
One could reasonably expect that the predicted US power implosion in Ukraine, and its reverberations elsewhere, might spell, at long last, the well-merited downfall of Neocons from their lofty perches. While these figures, obnoxious to a fault, and wretchedly wrong and criminal as they have been, might suffer permanent (as Garland foresees), or even some momentary attrition in influence, the Neocons may not go away. For one thing, they are many, and deeply embedded in America's power elites, from media, to politics (think Adam Schiff), academia, specialised industries (i.e., war), and Wall Street, etc. Their network of financial supporters is therefore extensive. And their links to Israel are unusually strong, too, making them —in the West—virtually untouchable. But all of that, while significant as a source of infiltrating and staying power, is not the ultimate source of their pervasive influence. The Neocons' longevity rests, I believe, on the congruency that exists between their ideology of American supremacism—ideal for all would-be native imperialists— and the old, longstanding values defining US exceptionalist myths, myths that the US ruling oligarchy has long embraced as a way to govern and legitimate its rule at home, and, most importantly, to justify US imperialism for almost a full century. It is this juxtaposition that largely explains their popularity with the old aristocracy, the mostly invisible ruling clans that really wield power in the US, even as we inch forward into the third decade of this momentous 21st century.—PG Garland Nixon is a Washington D.C. radio talk show host and geopolitical analyst. |
