The undeniable failure
in Ukraine is leading to the implementation of this guerrilla theory by moving
NATO assets and sleepers across Asia to create a grand board of localised
aberrations and chaos
By Sidney Hey
Recent developments in Ukraine and the various failed attempts by the Ukrainians to reverse the situation on the ground are leading the Americans and their British counterparts to become more involved in the efforts, albeit behind the scenes.
Asia is becoming an
extension of Ukraine's theatre of operations and this is being reflected in
curious developments in places where NATO was until recently and in others
where it is seeking to expand its influence.
The re-emergence of
ISIS (with new and modern weapons) in Syria ambushing Syrian Arab units and
also in Afghanistan harassing the Taliban and threatening border security with
the Russian Federation, the growing political instability in Pakistan, the
situation around Niger and the revealed intentions of the White House to
reinforce -under the guise of Taiwan- the Anglo-American presence in the
South Sea paint a critical picture that is no accident.
It is no secret that
the US has for years been working under strings to prevent what is now a
reality, Russia's resurgence. Democracy is a hollow word that Americans often
spit out of their mouths but do not assimilate into their actions. The RAND
Corporation's reports outlining plans to stress and unbalance Russia are the
best evidence and background for the origin of the current situation in
Ukraine, which they are undoubtedly trying to extend to other scenarios.
It is well known that
in order to create the ideal scenario that allows Washington and its cronies to
claim that human rights, freedoms and the aforementioned international legality
are being violated, there must be facts to accompany these stories, and to do
this they usually take two paths: Exaggerating a certain fact, with the media
as allies in this function, or creating the conditions and the facts themselves
to show them as having been committed by the governments they are trying to
unseat.
Deception and
exaggeration have been their primary means of convincing public opinion of the
need for aggression, assassination, invasion and, of course, occupation to
ensure “national security”.
When Iraq invaded
Kuwait in August 1990, Washington had carefully plotted Saddam's moves and
conned him (through Ambassador April Glaspie) into the action. That done, world
public opinion had to be convinced that “Iraq had to be punished” and the
information poisoning machine, led by CNN and the BBC, began to sow the tares
that would underpin what was to come. One of the inventions they spread for
these purposes was the alleged destruction of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital
reported by Nayrah Al Sabah which (as we know today) turned out to be a
propaganda hoax.
It was from there that
the Arabophobic and Islamophobic propaganda began to be strengthened and later
refined and capitalised upon.
Precisely when the US
and its British colleagues decided to invade Iraq in 2003, the lies about
weapons of mass destruction and alleged links with “Al Qaeda” -as part of
the demonisation of Sunni Islam- were shamelessly spread by the same media
and it soon became clear that they had conned the public. Obviously not. It
became very clear that the media were part of the political infrastructure of
the hegemonic plans.
In Latin America, too,
attempts have been and continue to be made to create destabilisation. The main
target is revolutionary Venezuela, which since its foundation by Hugo César
Chávez has endured several coup attempts in which foreign elements linked to
Washington and NATO intervened.
Closer in time, the
race to destabilise the political life of the Russian Federation reached its
climax in 2014 with the brazen operation of the US embassy in Kiev and the
strutting through the streets of then Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland
and then Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, exposed by the recordings of their phone
calls. Or the visits of the old republican senator John McCain fraternising
with the neo-Nazis of “Pradvy Sektor” moments before the Maidan events... What
a democrat!
Those were the visible
faces. Behind and in the dark were the louts and thugs that the CIA and their
MI6 colleagues had recruited to carry out the coup. While their gangs were
murdering demonstrators and policemen at the same time, the media were
constructing the Russophobic narrative that would try to lay the blame on
Russia.
We saw that attempt
again in Kazakhstan with the outbreak of street protests in January 2022 which
cells composed of foreign types through assaults, beatings and murders tried to
degenerate into similar situations in Libya, Syria, Ukraine that would give
NATO arguments to come to the nation's aid. Fortunately, the Kremlin reacted
quickly and put out the fire.
The bad expectations
already recognised in Ukraine have led Joe Biden and his team of
neo-conservatives to accelerate their operation around containing and somewhat
more against China, as a desperate attempt at provocation, and for this they
need to create in the whole surrounding region those atmospheres of insecurity
and mistrust with which to justify the intrusive policies they intend to
implement. One of the main objectives is to convince Vietnam of the imminent
danger from its giant neighbour and (of course) the need for the US fleet to
anchor there.
Alongside these
measures, Biden continues to encourage further restrictions so that US
technology sectors investing in China in Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors
and quantum computing are under severe government control.
Another fear is North
Korea, which has learned the lessons of contemporary history best and far from
relaxing, is putting into practice the adage that if “you want peace, prepare
for war”. In this context, tactical machinations such as AUKUS and QUAD are not
enough.
Today the visible faces
may have changed but the tactics and strategic objectives have not. Ukraine is
proving to be a difficult ballast for Washington, and could become the new
Afghanistan for Biden, a fact that not only the Democrats but the entire
Establishment, let alone the American people, will not forgive, which will mean
a farewell to the White House in 2024.
