COMMENT: Marty, I spoke with a diehard warmonger right here in Germany. I requested why Russia would wish to invade Europe. They really couldn’t articulate a motive. They resorted to revenge. After I requested what that meant, revenge implies Europe did one thing first. Then it was silence. There isn’t a single coherent rationalization. You might be completely right. A major a part of the narrative is fueled by inner European dynamics and the necessity to justify main coverage shifts. No person can reply the query you’ve got introduced.

REPLY: The Chilly Conflict was all about Communism versus Capitalism. Khrushchev’s “We Will Bury You” enraged all of the neocons. The entire thought of the Chilly Conflict was that Communism wished to overcome Capitalism. That was why the U.S. entered Vietnam. They assumed Russia was behind it and had been incorrect, as McNamara admitted earlier than he died.
There isn’t a motive for Russia to invade Europe. They’re now not communist. There isn’t a such philosophical battle. The claims that Russia desires to invade boil right down to the truth that European leaders are escalating militarily, by way of rearmament, funding, and potential troop deployments all with out a real looking plan for attaining victory or a coherent exit technique. They dismiss the concept of nuclear battle, but consider they will destroy Russia and break it up, as Kallas proposes. That is all being pushed by political posturing, as a result of the EU is collapsing and so they want an exterior enemy, and Russia is the very best enemy cash should purchase. There may be ZERO sound strategic calculation.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged that the EU is “obsessed” with militarization and is constructing its protection coverage on “confrontation with Russia,” which he known as “a useless finish” that “leads to nothing good.” Overseas Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova known as Zelensky’s concepts a couple of new European army bloc “insane.” NATO wants battle for if there’s peace they lose their jobs. So that they need to beat the battle drums or they’re unemployed.
Richard Nixon opened the door with China to separate China and Russia. The neocons and Zelensky have accomplished all the things to undo Richard Nixon’s legacy that he got down to accomplish. The battle in Ukraine has undoubtedly accelerated the financial and strategic convergence between Russia and China. Zelensky has been the tip of the spear in actually destroying Western civilization by “completely dividing” the world financial system, with the assistance of the neocons.
It is a vital geopolitical actuality. Zelensky is accelerating a pre-existing fracture that was set in place by the neocons who managed the Biden administration—Blinken, Nuland, and Garland. Zelensky has already pushed this fissure right into a a lot deeper structural disaster.
Conflict just isn’t traditionally pushed purely by private hatred, with completely zero financial motive. There may be primarily additionally, backstage, some financial profit. Right here, regardless of all of the rhetoric, the financial incentive for battle lies with the EU, not Russia. The EU stands to realize $75 trillion in pure sources by conquering Russia, however there isn’t a financial incentive for Russia to invade Europe.
Whereas many conflicts are sparked or fueled by private vendettas, hatred, or wounded pleasure, they virtually at all times unfold inside an financial context. Leaders could really feel private hatred, however wars require armies, provides, and sources—issues that inevitably tie again to financial pursuits.
Russia will defend itself, and China, together with North Korea, will be a part of, and chances are you’ll even see Iran be a part of this social gathering. NATO is planning on getting Canada to come back to Europe’s protection, and they’re relying on Trump being impeached and are trying ahead to the Democrats seizing management, who’re pro-war with Russia. There may be at all times an financial incentive, and that lies within the palms of Europe.
