After the victory. Some results of the Second World War
Who won where?
Today, the opposite answers are given to the question of who won this war: the USSR or the USA? The Red Army defeated Hitler’s war machine and took Berlin, but more of the USA took advantage of the victory over fascist Germany, seizing dominant economic positions in the world. Politically, none of the parties won the war, since immediately after the General Victory a "cold war" broke out between the winners.
The war did not end as its developers planned in England, France and the USA. It was the West that made the decision about World War II, since the USSR, destroyed during the 1917 revolution and the civil war of the 1918-1922 years, was a catching side in the 30 years and therefore already defending itself. The West was planning an attack on the USSR, so London and Paris in the 30 years rejected all the USSR initiatives to create a collective security system in Europe against Hitler.
It is also necessary to distinguish the foreign policy of Germany, which had its own logic, from the crimes of the fascist regime. At the same time, we note that the radical nationalist Hitler, with his mania of world domination at all costs, spoiled the collective West of its world mass.
What was avoided
Hitler’s megalomania prevented the West from creating in the 30 years a united front of Western countries against the USSR, fascist Germany concluded, of course, an adventurous non-aggression treaty with the internationalist ideology of the USSR, but before that all the adventures got away with Hitler, he was forgiven by London and Paris . (By the way, today the West forgives all adventures and crimes to the Bandera regime in Ukraine.)
This led to the failure of the Anglo-French diplomacy of the 30's, which Winston Churchill stated: “The fact that such an agreement (German-Soviet non-aggression treaty. - Auth.) Was possible, marks the entire depth of the failure of English and French politics and diplomacy in a few years. " The collapse of the united front of the West allowed the USSR to withstand the blow of Germany alone with the satellites, and then take the help of the coalition formed during the war against Hitler with the participation of England and the United States. The victory over fascist Germany allowed the USSR, including through reparations and some military trophies, to increase its economic potential and create a nuclear missile weapon.
If England, France and the United States succeeded in joining forces with Germany, somehow eliminating Hitler and his entourage (Wehrmacht officers made such attempts up to 40 times in order to conclude a separate peace with the West), the war would have continued in 1945, and the USSR It was most likely destroyed by nuclear bombing of the former Western allies and the "new Germany". The US nuclear bombing of Japan before its near defeat showed that the United States has no moral restrictions, and Churchill’s "unthinkable" plan in the 1945 year after the war with the USSR says that our Western allies had separate plans. And, of course, this is evidenced by the very fact of the beginning of the Cold War of the West with the USSR after a general victory.
US and USSR in the Cold War
Big world politics is a correlation of the military-economic potentials of the parties, and this ratio of potentials after the Second World War has changed in favor of the United States. The potential of the USSR significantly increased, to comparable values with the United States. By the end of the twentieth century, the ratio of these potentials changed not in favor of both the United States and the USSR, which generally disintegrated, but in favor of third world countries led by China. A new economic giant appeared on the world stage - China, and India, the Middle East with Iran and other eastern countries were on the way.
Many analysts are of the opinion that in the Second World War (for a third-party world, the battle of the main "Western countries") the East won: the system of direct colonial domination over it by the West collapsed. Moreover, the colonial system of the West collapsed thanks to an internationalist policy on the ideology of the USSR, it is well remembered in the East, and the Russian S-300 air defense systems are buying today, despite the cries and threats of US sanctions. Here begins the seemingly incomprehensible hatred of the West for the USSR and the desire to slander his memory: the USSR robbed him of all the colonies. Everything! It remains, however, a colonial influence, but this is not for long, it is already understandable.
The state of “neither peace nor war” after World War II could end in a war between the USA and the USSR, which, one might say, was prevented by US President John F. Kennedy. Perhaps it was precisely for this that the American "deep state" killed him: John Kennedy refused to start a war with the USSR in 1962 during the Caribbean crisis, and the ratio of nuclear charges at that time was in favor of the United States by a large margin. Kennedy asked the military: do you guarantee that not a single nuclear bomb will fall on US territory? The Pentagon did not give such a guarantee, and Kennedy agreed to an agreement with the USSR on overcoming the nuclear crisis. Today, the nuclear potentials of the parties are approximately equal, and we are not talking about one or two missed nuclear charges, but about complete nuclear destruction.
And so Trump came
For many years, Washington’s post-war foreign policy was aimed at helping all kinds of dissenting political minorities in competing countries around the world, and allowed the United States to weaken them in its national interests. But today, the United States itself has captured this wonderful strategy, because President Trump represents the political minority in the country, at least for now.
Trump came to power when the United States lost global control over its “own” world. The blame for this lies with Russia, because someone must be guilty of this, and the USA cannot be this “someone”. It comes to the point of absurdity: the head of the Pentagon (!) Demanded that Russia "become a normal country" and share "Western values", that is, proceed from the national interests of the United States in relation to itself! But this absurdity is professed by the US Democratic Party.
President Trump represents, one might say, American realists who want to quickly fix the division of the world while US dominance is maintained: then the division of the world will be in favor of the USA. Therefore, Trump invites Russia to join the G7, calls for tripartite talks on strategic arms of the USA - Russia - China, despite the sanctions wars. Blackmailing with sanctions wars. While the old interventionist, the Democratic Party of the United States, is demanding higher rates in the struggle for full global leadership. And accuses Trump of betraying his strategy. In their own way, they are right: Trump has a different world strategy.
In Europe, President Trump supports Brexit the treacherous Albion, and this English split in Europe is somewhat reminiscent of the situation of the 30 of the last century. World War II did not solve the main issue stories in Anglo-American, and again we see a split in Europe, and against the backdrop of Anglo-American rapprochement.
Brexit looks like London’s dissatisfaction with Brussels’s policies, but behind it is Berlin’s refusal to recognize the leading role of London, and Washington behind it, in the European Commission. Berlin refused to coordinate the London presidency of the EC, and then the protege of Berlin was Jean-Claude Juncker, the Berlin protege, which led to the scandal of Chancellor Merkel with Prime Minister Cameron and the referendum on Britain's exit from the EU.
Apparently, the United States has been behind Brexit from the very beginning, although President Barack Obama has publicly called for not to do so. Has Barack Obama never lied to the world? How many times has he stated that missile defense in Europe is directed exclusively against Iran? On the other hand, Brexit can also be considered as the expulsion of London from continental Europe by Berlin. Given the new confrontation between the West and Russia, we can say that with Brexit the world will politically return to the 30 years of the twentieth century.
