CONFUSED
OUTLOOK
A 2024
From the failure in
Afghanistan to the Ukraine adventure, Joe Biden and his coterie of globalists
have exposed the Union to a crisis that will not be easy to resolve. Are the alternatives for 2024 better?

The atmosphere is heating up in Washington on the eve of the next presidential elections in 2024 and the candidates with ambitions for the next White House presidency are already emerging. Among the most vociferous are Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, two politicians who, despite being members of the same Republican Party, have a very different vision of US politics. Because they represent clearly antagonistic sectors that use the party as a platform for advancement (https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/nikki-haley-the-most-reckless-candidate-for-president/ ).
The war in the Ukraine
is the clearest issue that highlights the internal discord and contortions that
are replicated among both Democrats and Republicans. On both sides there is a
tug-of-war between those in favour of war and those seeking to end the foreign
interventionism that has done so much damage to the country. It is clear that
the next administration will decide whether there will be more war or respect
for multilateralism.
As we know, there is no
difference between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to foreign policy.
They both go over the heads of international humanitarian law and by virtue of
that they can be extremely harmful as is already corroborated by the precedents
in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan, not to mention all the implications
against civil rights that ended up falling on their own citizens with all the repressive
engineering under the argument of the war on terror.
It seems that the
neocon Republicans have learned nothing. Protagonists of the war interventions
of the last 30 years to the present, they have contributed to the current
global crisis. Belligerence remains their policy of choice as if all the
disastrous precedents for US policy and world peace were not bad enough.
The Democratic Obama
administration and the actions of his Secretary of State John Kerry and his maaate
employee Victoria Nuland were the seeds of the war that is tearing Ukraine
apart today. Russia's invasion is a consequence of that interference, its
failure to honour its commitments and its refusal to guarantee the strategic
security of the Russian Federation.
So far the Biden
administration has succeeded in making Ukrainians and human resources in
several countries sacrifice themselves for the plans of its globalist agenda.
But expectations in the upcoming elections are already raising counter-visions
to this madness that, though they now quietly disavow, many supported the war
effort.
But if things are bad
because of the war, there are candidates who aspire to make them worse.
Nikki Haley, the former
governor of Southern California and US representative to the United Nations
during Donald Trump's administration, has been noted for her unabashed advocacy
of aggression in Syria, and in particular for arguing at every turn about the
hoaxes about chemical attacks in “Khan Sheikhoun” that tried to be pinned on
the government of Bashar Al Assad.
As a staunch Zionist
supporter, Haley is an enthusiastic and committed supporter of efforts to try
to destroy Syria and Iran as an invaluable strategic asset to Israel.
Other qualities that
she herself highlights is having as a model of feminism none other than former
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who, as those who knew her well know,
was anything but a feminist. Another of her self-confessed role models is
Hillary Clinton, whose only feminist trait is her use of feminism as
electioneering capital.
Haley criticises Joe
Biden not for getting the US into a colossal war catastrophe in Europe, but for
being too slow and weak in his decisions to support the ultra-nationalist
regime in Kiev, and in that extremist view, that support has not been enough.
But Haley does not seem to consider the reality of public opinion within the US
that is reluctant to continue feeding the Kiev regime.
On the other hand,
there is candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, a young billionaire businessman who stands
on the opposite side of the fence between those who consider Biden's
administration a disaster and especially Washington's involvement in the war in
Ukraine, something that must end. He is also convinced that the US should
distance itself from Volodymyr Zelensky who, as has already been made very
clear, despite being Jewish and intending to turn his country -strategically
and in terms of a perpetual arms deal- into “an Israel”, scandalously
embarrasses a large part of the world Jewish community with his open links to
the neo-Nazi sectors that control Ukraine.
For this candidate,
Zelensky is an unpresentable character to say the least. He is not only a
brazen and insatiable money-grubber, but also a repressive politician who is
the antipode of democracy. In that sense he is the author of brutal censorship
of his country's press, of eradicating opposition parties and arresting those
who oppose the madness he unleashed and suspected of having ordered the murder
of fractious officials, of having Russian language books and authors burned,
and of a much discussed persecution of the Orthodox Church, arresting many of
its members on charges of being pro-Russian.
As a presidential
candidate, Ramaswamy also made it clear that the West, led by the US, was pushing
Russia to the current outcome. From his perspective and if he reaches the White
House, he proposes to end the war, a position that brings him closer to Donald
Trump's declarations, who, if he manages to get rid of the judicial processes
against him, could join him as his vice-presidential running mate. Even Trump
himself, in an interview on Blaze TV, called Ramaswamy “a smart guy...A young
guy who's very talented”, among other compliments.
RealClearPolitics polls
seem to be polling him very well as they put him in third place behind Donald
Trump and Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.
This makes it very
clear that the Establishment, which responds to the “system” that seeks to
leave everything as it is and in which the neo-conservatives and their close
allies who live off the gestation of intrigues and wars take refuge, has begun
to give them a migraine.
