¿Pueden los
pueblos del mundo, y en particular los de esa tierra intelectualmente arada que
es hoy Europa, dejar de consumir la papilla predigerida de los medios y
entender que estamos al borde de una guerra termonuclear de proyección
planetaria? ¿En caso de que efectivamente puedan, qué piensan hacer al
respecto? La nota que sigue es de Finian Cunningham y apareció en Sputnik News

Título: Russia
holding the line to prevent total global war
Texto: The
deployment this week of a US missile system in Eastern Europe is another step
towards all-out global war. Despite Western propaganda demonizing Russia, the
truth is that it is Russian military
might that is actually holding the line to prevent such a cataclysm.
The United States
and its NATO allies are already at war with Russia. This is not hyperbole. It
is fact. The US and its allies are amassing weapons and troops on Russia's
borders, and engaging in simulated attacks from various directions.
Orwellian
language of "war games" in Western media serves to diminish the
disturbing fact that NATO forces are preparing offensive strikes on Russia.
War machinery on
both sides are locked on. The encounter last month of the US warship with
Russian fighter jets in the Baltic Sea is but one of many such close encounters
occurring almost every week. Granted, weapons have not actually been fired yet.
Nevertheless, the weapon machinery is engaged.
Again, Western
media serve to normalize what is a balefully abnormal situation. At the behest
of Washington, the Western countries are trying to blockade Russia with
economic sanctions. This is just another provocative act of war.
Moreover,
diplomatic channels between Washington and Moscow seem attenuated to levels as
low as at any time during the former Cold War. Russian foreign minister Sergei
Lavrov has apparently maintained a cordial working relationship with his
American counterpart John Kerry, but apart from that individual rapport the
bilateral position between the two powers has sunken to an all-time low.
Another
manifestation of war is the US proxy conflict with Russia in Syria and Ukraine.
On the surface there may be talk about ceasefires and political solutions, but
make no mistake the jihadist mercenaries and the neo-Nazi Kiev regime are
nonetheless American military assets ever-poised to attack Russia's
geo-strategic interests.
The move this
week by Washington to activate its long-anticipated missile system in Eastern
Europe is another act of aggression in a whole panoply of offensive actions. US
and NATO officials deny that the Aegis system is targeting Russia, and make the
ludicrous claim that it is to defend Europe against Iranian ballistic rockets
or some other "rogue state". Such transparent, deceitful nonsense.
Russia rightly
dismisses Washington and NATO's cynical assurances. The Kremlin this week said
that the installation of the US missile system is a direct threat to Russia's
security. Moscow said it would take counter-measures to restore the strategic
balance of nuclear deterrence. It was no coincidence that official Russian
reports disclosed details of a new hypersonic Inter-Continental Ballistic
Missile that could penetrate any American missile shield to deliver a warhead
capable of destroying an area the size of Texas or France.
This is not
irresponsible Russian bravado. It is vital that Russia lets aggressive
Washington know that any future war moves will be met with equal or greater
force. Of course, the outcome would be an all-out nuclear war which could
destroy the planet as we know it. But the only way of saving the peace and the
planet is for Russia to show that it has the military might to face down any
American belligerence.
The upgrade of
Russian military power under President Vladimir Putin is perhaps the only thing
that is holding back the push for all-out war by the US.
And let's face
it. It is the US that is the source of belligerence. As American political
analyst Randy Martin points out, the so-called Wolfowitz Doctrine is the
touchstone of Washington's foreign policy. The neocon doctrine of former
Department of Defense official Paul Wolfowitz, who served in the George W Bush
administrations, is embedded in US military strategic thinking.
Says Martin:
"Wolfowitz's worldview of seeing the US as the world's only superpower and
not tolerating any other rival to the point of going to war, is taught in all
American military academies. It is mainstream US military thinking."
This is what
motivates Washington's bellicose policies towards Russia and China, adds
Martin. "The US is programed to go to war with any perceived rival global
power in order to maintain its unwarranted ambitions of hegemony."
The analyst says
that if it were not for Russian, and Chinese, military power the US state
planners would have gone further by now in prosecuting their war actions, with
catastrophic consequences for the world. It is a sobering thought that, despite
all the Western media disparagement of Russia, it is actually Russia that is
saving the world from such a catastrophic conflict - a conflict that the US
alone is pushing.
Indeed, it is
averred that Russia's intervention in Syria may have been partly based on this
bigger, far more serious calculation. Not only was Russia salvaging the Middle
East country from Western-backed war for regime change. Moscow's deployment of
latest weaponry, including its sea-launched cruise missiles and the S-400
anti-ballistic defense, could have been aimed at demonstrating to Washington
that it better think twice about pursuing a wider war agenda.
Little do we know
it because of so much Western mind-numbing misinformation, but our world is
facing the abyss of nuclear war. Russia's military power is holding the line
from this abyss.
How can we transcend
this abysmal situation before stumbling over the edge?
Russia must
remain vigilant and strong, with a determination to not capitulate. The
anniversary last week of the defeat of Nazi Germany is a timely reminder of
Russia's epic importance in thwarting international aggression. The same
fascist aggression is virulent again in the form of American hegemonic
ambitions, and just as with the Third Reich it is Russian fortitude that is
preserving the world from Total War.
Political analyst
Randy Martin does not see the American public has having a decisive role in
practice. In theory, yes, US citizens need to call their warmongering leaders
to account and to elect a democratic government - for a change. However, says
Martin, the American public are so disenfranchised, brainwashed, beaten down,
and oppressed with poverty and consumerist psychosis, he does not see how a
mass movement in the US can be mobilized at this point in history in order to
abolish the warmongering ruling elite in Washington.
Perhaps, it is up
to the people of Europe to take decisive action. Growing popular discontent
with European leaders who toe the American line of aggression and sanctions on
Russia may have the potential of decisively breaking the US-EU-NATO war front.
What people need
to urgently wake up to is that Washington and its European vassals in
government are already at war on Russia. There is absolutely no objective
justification for this destructive dynamic, other than the US trying to
unilaterally assert its hegemony. That is not the policy of a law-abiding
democracy; it is a fascist power in the same vein as Nazi Germany.
The war on Russia
is being waged on entirely spurious grounds of alleged Russian annexations,
invasions and expansionism. This is utter propaganda - again a la Nazi Germany.
The crucial
question is this: can Russia hold the line long enough against US-led
aggression until the people of the world mobilize the political action to
overthrow the criminal regime that operates out of Washington and through
European capitals?
