Hi Thomas, it's great to hear from you! How have you been? I wonder why he omitted Turkey given Erdogan loves to play both sides and recently made comments about Crimea? We live in very interesting and dangerous times indeed.
Thank you for an interesting read, Lena. Wow, doesn't the Reagan era seem so long ago, as our foreign policy is turned upside down? But you are so young, you probably don't remember Reagan much. :-)
The only issue I would respectfully disagree with Mr. Matlock is his assessment of NATO. If NATO, which is nothing but a military alliance, had shut down when the Warsaw Pact ended and the Soviet Union collapsed, we would not have the current Russian-Ukrainian War. After all, this is what NATO was designed for and it should have disappeared when those threats disappeared. Military alliances look for an enemy to justify their existence. Unfortunately, they choose Russia.
The United States is an empire, with hundreds of military bases outside its own territory and troops permanently stationed in 3/4 of the countries of the world.
It is the closest any empire has ever come to the eternal dream of ruling the whole world, and that ambition is plainly the driving factor in US "foreign policy".
All the talk of diplomacy, international law, and etc, is flim flam, dissembling and distracting from the underlying truth.
Hi Lean ,you have to go back to the end of WW 2 the plan was to have Germany and USSR destroy
each other and the west would move in and take over Eurasia , Mackinder theory who ever controls the heart land controls the World .The USA in 1953 had plans to Nuclear 66 cities in USSR
with 200 Nuclear Bombes , since WW 2 did not end as planned. President Gorbachen destroyed the USSR by giving up all the Satelit countries that was agree to by FDR ,Churchill and Stalin in the Malta
conference ,what the USSR would keep as territory after WW 2 . The agreement that NATO would
not move East One inch ( from East Berlin Germany ) nothing in Writing , Stupid Gorbachen or Trader
Gorbachen and then Trader Bribed Yeltsin ,the West almost won ( Mackinder Heart Land ) but Vladimir
Putin stepped in . in my opinion there will be a WW 3 , Russia ,China ,Iran and North Korea against the
Lena ,Putin's List of the 47 un friendly countries is available.
I guessed the three countries before doing the research.
He omitted Turkey ,Hungry and Slovakia , Turkey will be joining the BRICS
They the West want 's to start the War before the US elections and the BRICS Meeting Oct 22 2024
in order not to have elections take place and disrupt the BRICS+ meeting.
