Anatoly Wasserman: America is doomed to confrontation with the whole world


During the next civil war in the Roman Republic, the leader of one of the opposing sides, Gnei Gneevich Pompey, nicknamed Magn - the Great, proclaimed: "He who is not with me is against me." In response, his opponent Guy Gaevich Julius, nicknamed Caesar - most likely from the town of Cere, where several generations of this branch of the Yuliyev family lived - said: "He who is not against me is with me." History retained the result: the bulk of the citizens of the republic refrained from supporting Pompey, Julius defeated him and became the first emperor for life — master. True, his life after the victory lasted only about four years - he was killed by conspirators, committed to the republican tradition of the most frequent replacement of all leaders. But this has nothing to do with the fate of Pompey.

I have already spoken about two qualitatively different types of empires - colonial and continental - and that the main part of the key shortcomings of colonial empires (such as Britain, France or in a slightly improved version of the United States of America) has no place in the continental empires ( of which the brightest is undoubtedly Russia, and the most complete embodiment of the ideal of the continental empire is part of the history of Russia, called the Soviet Union). But there are many other qualitatively different things, denoted by the same terms. In particular, this is the term "superpower". There are at least two understandings of this term known to me.

In Soviet times, it was customary to say: a superpower is a state to which no other state can impose its will. And the other undoubted superpower - the United States of America - is still guided by the directive of its National Security Council, adopted somewhere at the turn of the 1950 – 60-s. In this directive, the United States is set the goal of ensuring that there are no states or intergovernmental structures in the world to which the United States of America cannot impose its will.

Obviously, there can be many superpowers in the Soviet sense of the term. Moreover, since the appearance of the concept of unacceptable mutual damage, the number of superpowers in this understanding can theoretically be calculated in the tens. For example, France can hardly be considered a great power, but at the same time its nuclear potential guarantees that if France does not want to fulfill the will of any other power, she will hardly be able to impose its own will - it will be afraid of retribution. So France is a superpower.

But there can be only one superpower in the American sense. Therefore, the United States of America within its concept of superpower is doomed to confront the rest of the world, because even those to whom they imposed their will are hardly fully satisfied with this, even without looking at the massive propaganda about the United States - the good and the only.

This turnover is taken from the cycle of the novels “Labyrinths of Echo” by Svetlana Yuryevna Martynchik, who writes (at first - with the participation of her husband Igor - alas, I do not know the middle name - Stepin) under the pseudonym Max Fry. In the magical world of this cycle, as a result of the fierce struggle of various magical orders, the Order of the Semistrailer survived, on this basis declared to be benevolent and unique. True, Fry's all ends well: this order does not fully crush his whole world for himself simply because almost all the active members of the order are absorbed in intrigues, so they do not pay attention to what is happening outside of it.

Propaganda of benevolence and uniqueness of the United States of America is so active precisely because it has to overcome — the subconscious, or the quite conscious and clearly articulated, but in any case, the inevitable - the rejection by most of the peoples of their own submission to the United States.

And this same American concept of a superpower makes almost the entire world a natural ally of Russia. After all, we do not set ourselves the goal of subjugating others - we only need others to not subjugate us. Accordingly, anyone who opposes submission is our ally.

The result is unlikely to be significantly different than in the era of the confrontation of the slogans of Gney Gneevich Pompey Magna and Guy Gaevich Julius Caesar.

          The United States is strong in its economic expansion of the colonies and other countries, through the dollar, simply by robbing, forcing and exploiting others, a kind of artificially created superpower that exists only at the expense of force. Cut off their economic tentacles, drive them into the borders of North America and that’s all, they will become an ordinary country like Argentina. And only one country on the planet has territory, resources and people in order to be a natural superpower in its development, this is Russia! In other words, Russia is a superpower upon the fact of its birth and existence, and even its weakness cannot be lower than its superpower.

      There are no eternal empires, all empires ended as a result of the conduct of constant countless warriors to conquer the world. The USA is also soon kirdyk. Remember Obama the last president of America -...... Paul Kreig.2014 becomes the hour of reckoning for the United States. Russia and China are disconnecting their international trade from the dollar, which will entail a large drop in demand for the dollar and a drop in its exchange rate.

      The US economy did not recover after the fall of 2008, but only weakened. Due to import dependence, a drop in the dollar will spur prices and lead to a decrease in living standards ...

      This year we can see the destruction of NATO and even the EU due to contradictions on the issue of increasing confrontation with Russia, which Washington insists, and the real consequences of this confrontation for Europe ... One of two options is likely - or the dollar will be abandoned and its collapse - that will complete Washington’s status as superpower, or Washington will launch a military conflict with Russia and China.

      And it seems that the world is already recovering. Germany yearns for Russia: conflict over Ukraine deepens crisis of German identity

      "Germany yearns for Russia: the conflict over Ukraine deepens the crisis of German identity
      How much do Germans belong to the West?
      Russian crisis stimulates identity conflict
      Many Germans feel a special connection with Russia. This makes the crisis in Ukraine especially dangerous for Berlin, as it raises important questions about the very nature of German identity. Are we deeply rooted in the West, as most people think?
      To this day, Germans and Russians maintain a special relationship. There is no other country and other people with whom the relations of the Germans would be so emotional and so contradictory. The connection goes deep into German family history, shaped by two world wars and the 40-year history of East Germany. German families can still share their stories of cruel, but also kind-hearted and soulful Russians. We disdain the primitiveness of the Russians, while cherishing their culture and the Russian soul.

    no, not every superpower is doomed, only one that constantly makes big bets, like in a casino, cannot do away forever. A power that does not set the task of omnipotence in the world can exist for an infinitely long time, it is just that this course must be prescribed in the constitution. They say we have the right to invade, only if the interests of our state, legitimate interests, are violated, or countries violate an agreement signed directly with the participation of Russia.

    In general, now the West as a whole is very similar to Rome during its decline. Europe - to Western Rome - older and more decayed; America - to the East, which is in a more advantageous position from the point of view of security, but, as practice shows ... Their policy is also quite Roman - "divide and rule"; they themselves knock their "provinces" into a heap, and all the rest are only crushed and crushed - the USSR, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Iraq on the verge of collapse, there is nothing to say about Mali and Sudan ...

    Barbarians are bought with gifts, so long as they do not sharpen their swords in the direction of Rome - it is better to let them go and kill their own. But even such seemingly devoted barbarians as Ukraine are not taken under the wing of the "Empire" - for they remember how the total expansion of the empire ended last time; the army of Rome mainly began to consist of recent barbarians, and somehow did not want to fight for the glory of the banners with the eagles. Does it look like anything? ..

    The analogies would be funny if they were not so obvious. And because of this, many deeds of our time seem not just ridiculous - criminal. Rome stood a thousand years - and fell apart; to say nothing of the miserable 200 years of the United States - and even more so of the 50 years of the European Union.

    By the way, exactly the same thing can be said not only with regard to the West, but also about us and you. If you don’t look back on history and hope that Holy Russia stood for a thousand years, then you can get it ... Byzantium stood even more, but it was Christians, first, the Christians, ruined, and then the Turks and their Istanbul pinned. And where is this Byzantium now? ..

    The fall of Rome remained in history in conjunction with a catastrophic decline in morality and ethics; and recently, exactly the same thing is happening throughout modern "Rome", and not only there. It is not for nothing that America so rushes with its armies for the "outcast" countries - in the conditions of the total decomposition of society, a small handful of "barbarians" are enough to crush the seemingly eternal Rome.

    not everything is so rosy.
    Russia has only two allies - the Army and the Navy. there are no others and never will be.
    Even those nations - which Russia saved in their own country from holding back and cutting out - Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro - even they supported the sanctions against the Russian Federation.
    it's silly to talk about the collapse of America. The Soviet Union was incomparably more powerful than Russia, and then - the economy could not stand the arms race. The United States has only become stronger since then.
    The United States received a slap in the face from Russia. they will not forgive us for this.

    "The very name" fascism "comes from the Latin word" fasza "- which poured into the Italian" fashio ". This is how a bunch of rods from a lictor was called in ancient Rome. with a hatchet stuck in it. ”The Nazis played on the legend that exists in many nations about the wise father and sons, whom he gave the task to break a broom / broom / facet.

    The main slogan of the Nazis for their members is “while we are one, we are invincible". Both the story and the slogan are good. They teach the right thing. But how was this refracted in fascism as in a political movement? By the way, the fascists loved another slogan - "whoever is not with us is against us." This slogan is generally of biblical origin.

    For example, France can hardly be considered a great power, but at the same time its nuclear potential guarantees: if France does not want to fulfill the will of any other power, then it is unlikely to impose its will on it - it will be afraid of retaliation. So France is a superpower.
    But France can be strangled economically. Therefore, the Super Powers can be counted on the fingers of one hand. As for America, I agree, the doctrine itself is imposing the USA against everyone.

    We so easily talk about America's hostility towards us and their plans for world domination, but we forget what exactly we are talking about. Hegemony, that is, the total superiority of the United States over everyone, is a geopolitical aspect; this methodology and this political course of the country were chosen by its leadership. When we talk about the fact that America is not only our enemy, but the enemy of the whole world, try not to forget that we are not talking about the entire country, but only about its political elite and leadership, and of course their puppets. The USA is full of educated people who have the necessary information and know what’s what, who are not Russophobic and do not support their country’s interference in the affairs of other states and imposing their own will, it’s just that the opinions and voices of such people are silenced by the “democratic” government, because . Being smart in the USA today is not welcome, the country needs fools who just say “the Russians are evil because their military invaded Ukraine and took the Crimea by force”, so without trying to understand the situation they will immediately start writing 20 angry messages on the forums about how bad Russians are and why no one punishes them, without even understanding everything, without reading the news, and without even knowing what kind of state Ukraine is and where it is located. Not all Americans are bad, not everyone wants to dominate and subjugate the rest of the world, there are ordinary people, there are also hard workers who don’t give a damn about politics and geopolitics, who wake up like our citizens early in the morning and work until the night to feed their families and themselves to find a means of subsistence, can such people be called our enemies? The moral of this story is this - we need to understand who exactly our enemy is and who exactly is bad in this situation, not the whole country is bad, its top leaders and managers are bad, including all its leadership and politicians.

    this freak continues to give out middle names to everyone, now it goes to Caesar.
    It has long been the case and will continue to do so in the coming decades that, for one reason or another, most countries are allies of the United States, but not of Russia. Moreover, even the former republics of the USSR are not allies of Russia (mainly due to our fault): the Balts are hostile, we are on the brink of war with Ukraine, Moldova is hostile (at least because of Transnistria), for Georgia we are an enemy, Azerbaijan at least does not trust us , Uzbekistan too, Turkmenistan is neutral, Kazakhstan seems to be an ally, but after Crimea it is an ally that does not trust us one bit, Armenia is a forced satellite, because Without Russia, they can immediately hang themselves, and what remains are the seemingly poor states - Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, which need us to throw off the excess population and receive some kind of help from us.
    and now let’s look at the allies (real, not imaginary) of the USA - Great Britain, other European countries, except Serbia of course (yes, they are in crisis, but they are still the most prosperous countries in the world), Turkey (quite a regional power), rich Arab monarchies , Israel (small but very serious entity), Pakistan (poor, amorphous, but 150 million and nuclear), Japan (still one of the largest economies in the world), South Korea. and this is only in Eurasia.
    and there is also Canada, Australia, Mexico, etc.

    Wasserman is wrong. America cannot be seen separately from the world. The larger the Country-Empire, the more people feed around and from the country or empire. The more interested countries are to support the Mother-Nurse. England went to Iraq together with the United States in defiance of the UN resolution. The small country of Norway says in plain text that America is our elder brother and if he jumps into the abyss, so will we. And she has a carload of such (Brothers) and a small cart. And (cousins) like England are much more. And all this (relatives) will always be FOR. BUT the thing is that it’s not relatives and in this world where everyone is for himself. In the event of a real flood or an economic one, EVERYONE drowns. But the question is who is first. Who is further away and poorer - first.
    Conclusion
    A bipolar world - Of course, it’s better and Russia has stepped into the New Age. Only we will have to part with ideas like WE are all brothers and one family. And Sorry, the eastern regions of Ukraine, but for now we are not really brothers.
