FALSE REFLECTIONS
Just hours before
President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, will it mean a paradigm shift
or a deepening of the paradigm created by Joe Biden and Co.
By Sidney Hey
In geopolitics, it has
been seen that what is presented in one way is often not real. It is then that
announcements and even the signing of agreements between the leaders of great
powers end up being, in some cases, great swindles that in the long run cost
the stability, peace, goods and, most seriously, the lives of hundreds of
thousands of human beings.
The US is one of these
great swindlers in this scenario, evidenced by its violation of its commitments
by erasing with its elbow what it signed with its hand. The historical examples
of this contrived behaviour are many, but just as a contemporary example let us
recall the breach of the commitment made in February 1990 by the then US
Secretary of State James Baker promising -although today they say it was not
so- to his Russian counterpart Eduard Shevardnadze ‘not to advance with
NATO one centimetre’ to the east. The
Americans were already unashamedly and immediately reaching out to Eastern
European governments and, at the same time, expanding NATO's bureaucratic
structures.
The upcoming inauguration
of US President Donald Trump, who is supposedly a renegade of the US-NATO
relationship, has raised many speculations and even fears about what his
relationship with Brussels and its entire bureaucratic organisation, as big
(and more corrupt) than its military structure, will be like.
As is often said in the
corridors of power in Washington DC when they don't want to take any notice of
something, ‘what the right hand does, the left hand doesn't know’. This would
translate into while Trump rants against outrageous US spending in Ukraine, the
money and weapons will keep flowing. In these circumstances the same logic
could apply and in that plan we could be witnessing a grand montage of the
typical ‘good cop/bad cop’ movie script where Trump playing the role of
‘Sheriff’ entering the Saloon rants that he will clean up the financial and
economic mess of his predecessor and part of that includes cutting off the
obscene flow of money, personnel and war materiel that has been pumped into
Brussels and the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev to fight an ‘Establishment’-driven
proxy war against the Russian Federation.
But this would just be
bad B-movie acting. Why this conclusion?
First, Trump has
already shown that he can stab anyone with a smirk in his eye. He did it to Vladimir
Putin when, despite his supposed sympathy, he ordered all sorts of economic and
trade sanctions against senior Russian executives and froze Russian assets in
Western banks. He also secretly continued (backed by London) to provide
military and intelligence assistance to Ukrainian neo-Nazi parties. The only
one who did not succumb to his trickery was North Korean leader Kim Jong Un,
who, rejecting his petulance and veiled threats at that failed Hanoi summit in
2019, Trump would christen him ‘the rocket man’.
As far as Ukraine is
concerned, he will at most try to extend the situation through his announced
envoy Keith Kellogg, who will try to establish talks without achieving a
ceasefire in the medium term.
We could go on citing
inconsistencies between Trump's words and deeds, but beyond his campaign
promises that he would ‘stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours’ (which, by the way,
is something impossible to achieve), the movements that are felt underfoot and
are being noticed in the extensive Atlanticist structure would be indicating a
great smokescreen that hides a plan that, contrary to appearances, is
coordinated with the incoming US administration.
Above all, let us not
forget that Trump and his circle of freaks (with Musk at the head) intend to
give a coup de grâce to the BRICS+ and thus take it out of circulation in
perpetuity and thus reinsure the dollar as the sole currency of commercial
exchange and continue to keep all the states of the hemisphere captive and
dependent, leaving those ‘rebels’ such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and
Bolivia to intrigue and implement -clandestinely of course- measures
that undermine the political, economic and internal security stability of each
of them.
But those who should
immediately be prepared for unfriendly surprise moves in the Indo-Pacific are
the mainland Chinese, given that the pawns (including the British and
Australians) that Washington has installed in the South Sea and in some of its
riverine states (such as Hong Kong and Singapore) monitoring the situation on
the island of Taiwan, are maintaining an unusual activity of information
gathering and exchange that can have no other objective than China.
Trump among one of his
few qualities is his ‘xinophobia’ (hatred of the Chinese) which is inscribed in
his already ventilated racism that he will precisely put into action within the
US with his promised major operation of mass deportation of immigrants, a
promise that he will surely fulfil just as he said.
In conclusion, and as
far as his foreign policy is concerned, to believe that Trump will break ranks
with the largest military organisation in the world, which since the fall of the
USSR has served as a battering ram for the plans that Washington DC has drawn
up decades before, is idiotic.
