According to some ‘newspaper’ reports we are on the brink of a war between the USA and some other NATO countries against Russia. Of course China will come to the aid of Russia. So in affect world war three will take place over the issue of Ukraine.
In this blog I will try and put the Ukraine crisis in its historic context. William Engdahl in his excellent book called full spectrum dominance explains the USA has an official policy of full spectrum dominance. By this he means control of the resources of all countries of the world by American corporations.
This theory is backed up by the astonishing arrogant book by the former American secretary of State Zbigniew Brzezinski. In his book the Grand Chessboard he states that the USA must aim to gain control of the Eurasia landmass. In other words the USA must gain control of Russia. However, what Brzezinski did not realize is that Russia and China would form a defensive alliance against American aggression.
David Vine the professor of anthropology at the American University, Washington DC, has stated that the USA has 750 military bases in 80 countries throughout the world. This imperialist arrogance is based on the USA being a colonial settler state. Based on the European invasion of the country now called the USA between the 16th and 19th century and the largely extermination of the Native American population.
Today both Russia and China are surrounded by American military bases. The USA wants Ukraine as part of NATO. So that it can place military bases in Ukraine as a base to launch a military attack on Russia.
This is why the USA helped organize the fascist coup in 2014 against the democratically president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. A new government seized power dominated by far right elements.
However, in Eastern Ukraine ethnic Russians organized an anti fascist uprising. Leading to the establishment of the Lugansk Donestk peoples republic in East Ukraine.
Some EU countries are thankfully starting to get cold feet about a war over Ukraine. France and Germany for instance.
We must campaign for the withdrawal of all USA military bases in Europe. Also for NATO to be disbanded. Here in Britain we must campaign for Britain to leave NATO. Also for the withdrawal of all British troops from outside of Britain.
In conclusion only mass protests can stop an imperialist war against both Russia in the Ukraine and also against China.
Best wishes to all for the future.
