Alarab Online: Confronting the US - Russia, a return to the "cold war"?
Geopoliticians, experts and observers, both in the West and in the East, do not exclude the possibility that the Syrian political crisis may perekipet in a military conflict between the great powers, the permanent members of the UN Security Council. And spill far beyond the Sham region (Syria, including Lebanon and other border states).According to the estimates of Russia and China, the USA, France, Great Britain are trying to ride the “perestroika wave” in Syria and other Arab countries and turn it into “man-made chaos and anarchy”. Which, by the way, I note, have long been bearing new Washington conservatives in their plans. And with a long-range view: to realize, finally, the experiment that had not yet begun to create the Greater Middle East. It is then that the region will be divided between the spheres of influence of 56 “patchwork state formations”, claiming these territories. And the States will easily take over all the national treasures of the Middle East, above all the powerful oil potential.
Dreams will come true, and America will declare itself a world empire.
Not long ago, Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State and presidential adviser on national security issues, suddenly announced that in the near future the ghosts of a third world war, in which the United States would be opposing, would be the United States on the one hand .
The “sly fox” of the US State Department said bluntly that preparations for the Third World War had been going on for a long time and that it would be fierce and bloody. The winner will come out of it States.
The 89-year-old American politician is convinced that the Americans allowed China to pump up military muscles, greatly contributed to the fact that Russia threw off the legacy of the Soviet Union and was healed from it, all of which led to the intimidation of the whole world. So much the worse for them, for they blazed their way to inevitable death: pride and bragging were never brought to good, Kissinger believes.
Therefore, an elderly diplomat and geopolitician advises the European Union, in the face of the inevitable armed conflict between the United States and their opponents, "to strengthen unity and gather all forces into a fist." The US foreign policy strategy should target American politicians to occupy the seven leading Middle Eastern states in order to seize their national wealth — oil and gas. Sources - the path to direct domination of the region over the Arab capitals and peoples, too, since “black gold” and “blue flow” are the main means of food supply to the Arab ummah. Kissinger hinted that the US military was almost there ...
Neither the Russian bear nor the Chinese dragon will stand aside, idly watching what is happening, warned Henry Kissinger, and therefore we must "respond to their actions with closed rows." Kissinger is absolutely convinced that Israel will launch a “new war” using all its firepower, including weapons mass destruction. This will awaken the bear and dragon sleep. But by this time half of the Middle East will already be Israeli. A huge responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the American soldier. Both we and the Europeans should be well prepared and trained in order to enter into a third world war at any moment and to adequately resist both Russians and Chinese. On the collapse of the Third World, the only and greatest victorious power will rise. She will create a new world order.
How strange it is to hear all this from a person who, in the 70s of the last century, initiated a policy of detente in Soviet-American relations, “shuttle diplomacy” that reconciled the Egyptians and Israelis, did a lot to end the Vietnam War. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate ...
Others, among them American experts, regard Henry Kissinger’s statement as delirium, a flash of delirium tremens ... Others shrug their shoulders and ask another question: why did the American patriarch express such thoughts after his recent voyage to some countries? Including Russia, China. In Moscow and Beijing, met with top political leadership. In both capitals, he was given a cordial welcome.
Meanwhile, passions around Syria do not subside. Nobody excludes that they can turn into a full-scale regional war. Moscow insists on its own: we will use the mechanism of the Security Council to prevent the armed intrusion of Western powers into a sovereign Arab country, we will resist Western attempts to provoke the Syrian opposition and arm it. The Russians have information that there are armed special-purpose groups in Syria, introduced by Western special services, and this indicates that Europe and the United States are ready to repeat the Libyan scenario. Moreover, the current situation in Syria is very similar to what was happening in Libya before the invasion ...
Yes, there is confirmation of the information that in Syria there are units of elite parts of the USA, France and Great Britain. They are fighting with the Syrian army on the side of the opposition. And we can assume that they are preparing a springboard for the invasion of the forces of the North Atlantic Alliance. Recall, recently, high-ranking military personnel from NATO admitted that their armed forces were still in Libya. “Otherwise, it was not possible to defeat the regime of the colonel,” one officer frankly said. Is it all happen again ...
But an interesting message from Lebanese sources close to the military wing of Hezbollah: the counterintelligence of the Lebanese army stopped the attempts of groups of American citizens to gather intelligence against Syria from the northern regions of Lebanon.
Adnan al-Asdi, a senior official at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, acknowledged in an interview with France-Press that Iraqi Mujahideen cross the Syrian border to fight against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. And that from Iraq to Syria there is a continuous stream of smuggling of weapons and military technology. The length of the borders of Syria with neighboring countries is more than six hundred kilometers, and from the very first days of the confrontation the Syrian authorities announced that the first group of Iraqi militants, numbering up to 400, had leaked into the country. Captured large quantities of smuggled weapons. Who will argue that the intifada in Syria is not militarized and that the “good neighbors” do not have their geopolitical interests in it?
The West, specifically Paris and London, insists: the UN Security Council is paralyzed in its actions and cannot decide on an invasion, as it did in Libya. The exodus in the Jamahiriya was decided in favor of the “forces of democracy” only because the Western capitals were able to convince the public of the need to arm the Libyan opposition and recognize it as the only legitimate negotiator in the conflict. ” Soon a similar scenario will be applied to Syria ...
The Syrian opposition tends to explain Moscow’s obstinacy in the conflict by the fact that the Russian military leadership intends to build missile positions in Ain Divar, northeast of Aleppo, in order to counter the American missile defense and early warning radar system near Adana.
Experts warn that the financial crisis that erupted in 2008 year is not a temporary reversal in global economic development, but a significant milestone in the reorganization of the world order, since the logic of harsh realities still modestly but still triumphs. The crisis will end, say scientists, sociologists, a new era - "the era of anxiety."
A hint that everyone will have to say goodbye to the bright hopes awakened by the thaw of 90's and the optimism of those years. For the end of prosperity and stability, everything that we have recently called globalization. The time of the return of old, but not forgotten ideologies that will bury "the charming uniqueness, uniqueness and the soleness of capitalism."
You can believe in all this, you can not take all these forecasts seriously. But look through the textbook stories. As today reminds those conditions, those prerequisites, the situation that are emerging before the world wars.
And if in the past the opposing sides were only designated until the battles began, today we know ahead of time who and against whom will raise a weapon ...
