A PLOY FOR CHAOS

Why did Joe Biden and his fellow Atlanticists authorise Kiev to use the ATACMS and STORM SHADOW medium-range missile systems, or did they fire them themselves?

Certainly, all states can establish relations according to their convenience and interests, which means that they can exercise their self-determination, protecting their political autonomy and, of course, their sovereignty. Within this scheme there would be no place for pressures, intimidations or threats from one over the other, but contemporary reality has taught us otherwise. Plots, sabotage, interventions in the form of coups d'état, false flags, unilateral sanctions, fabricated invasions under false pretexts and sinister occupations are the causes of the despicable consequences for the rights of millions of human beings.

Who can be the actor who fills this whole repertoire of violations and would seek to expand it even further? It is often said that lies fall of their own weight, and the one who helped the most to make this happen in the Western hemisphere is the USA. Every time one of its presidents made speeches talking about democracy, freedom, human rights and respect for international law, the opposite was being carried out somewhere in the world.

Washington's record is so long that we could never finish. Today, in the current circumstances in which the Democratic administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is retiring from power, leaving behind a long tail of war, death, and misfortune around the world (to add to that of their previous colleagues), it has shown that it would be willing to take these dire consequences beyond what is tolerable.

Biden and his people are determined to leave Trump a fire that is very difficult to control.

It is that the US ATACMS and British STORM SHADOW missile strikes have not been part of a tactical plan devised by the AFU commanders or, if you like, a strategic plan devised by the Pentagon that can turn the tide of the war. Nothing of the sort. It shows the utter lack of scruples and contempt that Biden, Starmer and their people have for the lives of Russian and Ukrainian citizen.

They are the best proof that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to foreign policy. The same is true in Britain, where the arse licker Starmer shows that in his Yankee-following under that Labour mask, he can be as conservative as Churchill, Howe, Thatcher or Major.

From the now disgraced Bush era through Obama, it would be very difficult to determine which of these administrations was more terrible for global stability and peace. Undoubtedly the administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney was the height of civil and human rights violations, although the Obama administration did its own thing and in particular perfected the doctrine of controlled chaos in the Middle East devised by the ‘Cebrowski-Rumsfeld’ duo.

The authorisation of the use of these Western missile systems on targets on Russian territory is undoubtedly a further step and an extension of this strategy of chaos, aiming to plunge the territories of Eurasia into a state of intermittent insecurity in order to undermine the legitimacy of their governments, especially that of the Russian Federation. We have already seen this game played out in Iraq and Syria where, unfortunately, we have also seen how international organisations, instead of intervening, have been complicit in pursuing this scheme.

Fortunately, today ordinary people are more aware of these tricks of power that the media used to hide or distort in an insulting way. The ability to draw on other sources, many of them direct from the protagonists and from the place where the events take place, has broken the possibility of manipulating public opinion as they did throughout the 20th century.

But also, and this is an irreplaceable factor, the existence of Russian potential under a leader like Vladimir Putin who, despite all the provocations and ambushes, has maintained his prudence and determination to achieve the goals he has set for himself and which are linked to the security and well-being of his country.

Harmful Anglo-American intentions have always been at work and since the fall of the Berlin Wall, they only put their foot on the accelerator to try (by all means) to turn the nascent bloc of independent states and Russia itself into an ungovernable, economically dependent region that is easy to manage from the West.

That failure was amplified in Ukraine and since 2022, it has been consolidating.

That is why the use of these missiles against targets in Russia are the hand-wringing of someone who is drowning. Putin warned in September that if these missiles were used, it would show that there is strategic (satellite) intelligence to select targets, knowledge and expertise to operate the systems that the Ukrainians do not possess. The only ones able to meet all these requirements are their suppliers.

If we follow the law of war, weighing all these elements and the prior evidence of deliberate planning to carry out these aggressions, Moscow has the legitimacy to strike back against the US, Britain and France, and also against each of the countries that have cooperated in these attacks.

Global (especially Western) public opinion must be aware that if the governments of the collective West are playing to expand a sinister doctrine they have already employed with political, humanitarian and geopolitical consequences that are still evolving, the Russian Federation has the means (as demonstrated by the super ballistic missile “Oréshnik”) and a government with the determination to prevent it.
