\"\"<\/a>In 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama met privately<\/a> in the White House with the democratically elected<\/a> President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, to get him to end Ukraine\u2019s neutralist position ever since 1991 and join the U.S. Government\u2019s EU and NATO alliances against Ukraine\u2019s next-door neighbor Russia, but Yanukovych said no. And, then, Obama\u2019s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton<\/a> travelled in 2010 to Kiev to give this another try, and again Yanukovych said no. By the time of June 2011<\/a>, the Obama Administration started planning the coup<\/a> to replace Ukraine\u2019s Government with one that the U.S. would select<\/a>. This plan started being implemented by no later than 1 March 2013 inside America\u2019s Embassy in Ukraine<\/a>, to train Ukraine\u2019s racist-fascist, or ideologically Nazi, haters of Russians, how to use the internet in order to organize \u2018anti-corruption\u2019 demonstrations against \u2014 and to overthrow and replace \u2014 the neutralist Yanukovych<\/a> by a Ukrainian regime that would be committed against Russia. On 27 January 2014, Obama\u2019s agent overseeing the U.S. coup told the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev that Arseniy Yatsenyuk should be placed in charge <\/a>when the coup would be completed, and this was done<\/a> on 27 February 2014. Obama\u2019s plan to turn Ukraine rabidly anti-Russia succeeded. (The only part of it that failed was Obama\u2019s plan to grab Russia\u2019s largest naval base, in Crimea, and turn that into yet another U.S. naval base<\/a>.) It also succeeded in turning Ukrainian public opinion vastly more against Russia than it had been before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The objective of all this was ultimately to achieve a 1962 Cuban-Missile-Crisis<\/a> in reverse, by which the U.S. will ultimately place at least one nuclear missile only about 300 miles away from Moscow<\/a> and then demand Russia\u2019s capitulation. If Russia says no, then within only five minutes from America\u2019s firing its knockout missile, Moscow can be annihilated, Russia\u2019s central command beheaded, and that is too fast for Russia to be able to recognize that it had been done and then to launch its retaliatory weapons against America. So, there might be a reasonable chance for America to eliminate Russia by a blitz-nuclear attack from Ukraine \u2014 or at least there are influential people in the U.S. Government and academe who think so (including virtually the entire Biden Administration, just like in Obama\u2019s and Trump\u2019s).<\/p>\n

Ever since at least 2006<\/a>, the idea had become mainstream in American geostrategic planning circles for America to abandon the prior nuclear meta-strategy \u2014 \u201cMutually Assured Destruction\u201d or MAD \u2014 of using nuclear weapons in order to avert a nuclear war, to becoming instead \u201cNuclear Primacy,\u201d to use nuclear weapons in order to win<\/i> a nuclear war<\/a>. Biden pushed it almost beyond the point of no return until Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 so as to push back Ukraine\u2019s nearest border from its present roughly 300 miles away from Moscow to perhaps a thousand miles away. However, even that would be nearer to Moscow than the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis<\/a> standard, which was Cuba being 1,331 miles away from Washington DC. And now Finland, which aims to join NATO, might move that to only 507 miles<\/a>; so, America\u2019s goal of conquering Russia is still very much a national-security threat to the people in Russia. In fact, by 2017, America already had become frighteningly near<\/a> to being able to perpetrate a \u2018victorious\u2019 blitz-nuclear attack against Russia.<\/p>\n

By contrast, Russia has never tried to place its ground-based nuclear missiles that near to Washington DC. Cuba was the last opportunity to do that, and it was during the time of the Soviet Union, and it was instead 1,331 miles away from DC. Russia, today \u2014 now that NATO has grown to surround it (especially in Ukraine, which has the nearest border to Moscow) \u2014 is in enormous danger from this. On 17 December 2021<\/a>, Russia formally presented separately to America, and to NATO, Russia\u2019s fundamental national-security concerns, and on 7 January 2022<\/a> both America and its NATO said no to all of them \u2014 not even for negotiation. Russia\u2019s only remaining option then was to invade and conquer Ukraine. America has no national-security interest in Russia\u2019s nearest neighbor, Ukraine, but Russia certainly does and must win this war or else capitulate to the U.S. regime. Russia doesn\u2019t have the option of allowing this<\/i> Ukraine to serve as an American nuclear launching-pad against The Kremlin. Whether it will allow Finland (the second-nearest) to become that is not yet clear.<\/p>\n

If Russia\u2019s Government were like America\u2019s Government, then Russia might now be considering to turn Mexico against America like America has turned Ukraine against Russia. On March 21st, Ben Norton headlined “\u2018Mexico is not a US colony!\u2019: AMLO condemns invasion threats, celebrates nationalization of oil, lithium<\/a>” and quoted from recent speeches by Mexico\u2019s President, who has made clear the depths of the mutual hostility on both sides of that border. The current Mexican President has transformed his country\u2019s international policies into a clear condemnation of the arrogance and psychopathic greed of America\u2019s billionaires and their Government. What is remarkable is that Russia has given no sign of trying to turn Mexico into a Russian launching-pad against America as America is now straining to bring to culmination<\/i> Obama\u2019s plan for Ukraine to become America\u2019s launching-pad against Russia.<\/p>\n

Clearly, Russia\u2019s Government is fundamentally different from America\u2019s, vastly less aggressive. It\u2019s obvious to any rational person. For Russia to lose the war in Ukraine would be disastrous, whereas for America to lose it would be just another defeat for America, like Vietnam was, and Afghanistan was, and Iraq was, and Syria was, and Libya was, and so many others have been \u2014 and none of those defeats after 1945 has even nicked the U.S. regime\u2019s ability to dictate to the rest of the world like it demands to do. Maybe this one would, but that would be all to the good, for the entire world \u2014 if America doesn\u2019t resort to nuclear war in order to try to assert its supremacy. What\u2019s at stake for Russia in this matter is its very existence as an independent country. What\u2019s at stake for America in it \u2014 this war on Russia\u2019s border, not<\/i> on ours \u2014 is whatever America\u2019s billionaires will choose it to be. And if they choose to lose, then everyone (including especially<\/i> in Europe) will be better off as a result. But if America\u2019s billionaires<\/a> choose to \u2018win\u2019 (if they\u2019re that<\/i> power-crazed), then the world won\u2019t survive this. So, yes: since 1945, there\u2019s a huge<\/i> difference between Russia\u2019s Government, and ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
