Since war is always a continuation of interior policy only by other, armed methods, we can say that capital always leads 2 wars – 1 with interior enemy and the another with external enemy.
Since 2022, and thus even before peculiar Military Operations, the number of strikes in the US, especially in the United Kingdom, has been increasing, where the real wage has besides fallen more rapidly. Real wage in developed Western countries if it grew, it was slower than social productivity growth. In the United States, an additional $12 trillion was printed to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. As a result, inflation has reached 8% and has now fallen to 6% as it has been transferred to the full world.
In the name of his profits, capital everywhere sought to limit the function of trade unions, fought for the division of planet markets, and this fight did not halt until he destroyed himself. On the way, he polluted lakes, rivers, seas and oceans, took out the dirt with monocultural farming, lowered food standards and wellness protection. akin trends, problems and methods of combating the crisis occurred in Russia and Ukraine; the strike movement was besides limited by corporations and ruling political classes. External conflicts from time immemorial served the rulers to quell interior conflicts and to shift discontent over expensiveness and misery on others, to show that interior conflicts are little crucial due to the fact that they let life to proceed while wars take their lives away.
Joe Biden as a origin of inflation, he gave the COVID-19 pandemic, which violated the logistical economical links in the world. Meanwhile, all signs of recession were visible not only in 2019, but besides before the outbreak of the US pandemic in 2018 as well as in 2017... and earlier, with the end of globalisation and the 2008-2009 crisis. It turns out that this crisis has not been overcome to this day. 10 years after the crisis, it was accepted to call it a "great recession", real economical growth has declined, real wages have barely grown anywhere, and only the wealthiest people on Earth have grown. So social inequality grew, from which we had to someway distract and put it on the agenda. The war, which is always a continuation of the current policy, only by armed methods, was excellent for this purpose.
There is simply a comparison between the current capitalist economy and Frankenstein's fictional figure, which arose as a consequence of the revival of dead tissues. It was sewn from fragments of the bodies of various people who in the past were intelligent and strong. But since Frankenstein had unnaturally advanced growth and disgusting appearance, it pushed another people distant from him. Sam was an intelligent and delicate being, who did not realize why he had to endure loneliness due to the whim of a “crazy scientist”. At 1 point, he took revenge on people close to his maker. After these murders, the freak had to flee until he reached the Arctic Circle, where he committed suicide by throwing himself at the ceremony stake. Although erstwhile Mary Shelley published her fresh in 1818, there was no talk of a greenhouse effect from animal methane, Frankenstein was a vegetarian (like the author of the novel).
US Financial Oligarchy
U.S. financial oligarchy uses the war in Ukraine to pump money from the state budget into various private companies, to support pronatat think-tanks in Europe and various business institutions connected with leading corporations and a war-industrial complex. On the another hand, the country's infrastructure is in a dire state and demands fast and crucial investment. According to U.S. sources, only 30% of arms shipments to Ukraine were delivered to the front; the remainder were illegally sold outside, including for various criminal groups in Europe. Ukraine was so a kind of arms hub for armed companies, thus circumventing export restrictions. In this case, even the hearings before the legislature Committee continued.
That's most likely why. Donald Trump, who was elected president of the U.S. in 2016, was branded as a "Russian puppet", for refusing to send to Ukraine Javelin anti-tank missiles from Raytheon, and Russia (to be symmetry) was accused of interfering in his favour with the presidential election. Joe Biden was given anti-aircraft kits from Stinger and Himars, which together with the Javelins changed the layout of forces on the battlefield. Biden promised to hand over further types of offensive weapons, supported the plan to hand over Abrams dense tanks to Ukraine, and put force on Germany to hand over their Leopard tanks and another offensive weapons.
Thanks to the Himars missile, Ukraine could attack critical infrastructure in the areas occupied by Russia – Antonowski Bridge on the Dniepr River, the Kachowska Dam, which was destroyed, posing a threat to atomic power plants and the environment. The demolition of the dam deprived the Crimea of fresh water supply, but Russia was blamed for causing the disaster, contrary to the facts. However, no evidence was submitted against Russia. But Ukraine further announced Russia's accusation of even wanting to blow up (Russian-controlled) Zaporozhye atomic power plant, and in the United States, a resolution of Senators shortly appeared Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal calling on NATO to intervene straight in Ukraine and urging Russia to attack straight in the event of specified an incident. We see that for specified people and behind them groups of capital, fact has no meaning; its current and forward-looking interests are important.
Senator Dick Durbin He said Ukraine was fighting for freedom and democracy. Therefore, anyone who opposes military aid to Ukraine opposes democracy itself. In fact, it is different – anyone who is against the supply of military equipment to Ukraine is in fact against the expanding profits of American arms companies operating at the expense of the American taxpayer, who will now “fill in the spent supplies” ...
Political practice shows that all war is simply a actual rumble of contradictions. 1 of the features of conflict is the dynamic nature of their causes. The causes of war are changing. The direct causes of war should be distinguished from the causes of war. It is not always the forces that have caused the war that benefit from the planned war, as another forces that take over the leadership of the war are joining in the conflict, changing its objectives and gaining overwhelming benefits from its continuation. This is besides the case with the war in Ukraine.
The profits of U.S. arms companies specified as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies and another contractors are peculiarly increasing. These are now the second largest, since the Second planet War, funds allocated to arms production. That's not what average Americans, Russians, Ukrainians make. Military companies have their own people in the highest state positions. 1 of the biggest wins was the State Secretary Antony Blinken. He worked in the past at the Centre for strategical and global Studies, whose main sponsor was Raytheon Technologies. It launched the Westexec Advisors consulting company, which provided lucrative government contracts for intelligence companies in the arms industry. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin was in the past a board associate and major shareholder of Raytheon Technologies. Blinken, as well as Austin, were co-owners of Pine Island Capital Partners, which made money on investments in complex military-industrial ventures. It is so no wonder that Secretary of State Blinken supported US intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, military operations in the Balkans, Libya, supported bombings in Syria.
Madeleine Albright, who died in 2022, was the first female to be Secretary of State of the United States, founded the Albright Stonebridge company to measure arms contracts. She was known for saying that sanctions that caused half a million Iraqi children to die were worth it. And it doesn't bother specified people that Ukrainians in draft age are abducted by military police from the streets, forced into the army and driven without adequate training on the front line. Untrained soldiers easy become “gun meat”. Many politicians in Biden's administration are no longer reasoning of a second term, but are trying in all way to service the financial capital associated with arms companies, to increase contracts to later turn into executive positions in these companies. And then from the budgets of these companies – corrupt another political team...
Negotiating any solution to the conflict in Ukraine means ending good interests and milking by the financial capital of the state budget. And so far more than 130 billion dollars have been allocated to aid Ukraine, not counting the aid of the European Union countries. Biden's squad continues to prosecute maximum renewal of the war in Ukraine, considers diplomacy as a unilateral form of coercion in the interests of its own financial capital. erstwhile the legislature leader of the Republican organization was asked what is the point of specified immense spending, erstwhile it is limited to spending food to 30 million Americans, erstwhile the restrictions leave 15 million uninsured people without access to a doctor, erstwhile the prevention of wellness seems to be 12 billion and the environment is besides spent on the budget of $12 billion, this answered that there is nothing to worry about, due to the fact that this money will not stay in Ukraine, they will all return to armed contractors in the United States. And those armed contractors Robert said Kennedy Jr., These are frequently people who can be seen on CNN station air – it is simply a group of erstwhile generals and colonels, Pentagon collaborators. They frequently know about the war in Ukraine. But if individual wants to dig deeper, they'll see that they all work for Raytheon Company, General Dynamics, Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation. They act as contractors who gain from the war. And these counterparties belong to 3 investment funds: BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
The Russians and Ukrainians are killing each another about whether the United States as a leading imperialist capitalist economy will stay at the global summit as a hegemon, or whether American corporations will gotta share their profits with China. From a global point of view, Russia could not avoid this war and the squad Vladimir Putin she understood that after Zelenski started talking about atomic weapons at the applause of the Munich safety Conference Auditorium.
The profits of the financial sector are increasing at the fastest rate, and it does not make national income but only participates in its division. The contradictions of capitalism cannot be solved within the neoliberal paradigm. But that doesn't mean you can sit down and put your leg on. The defenders of the old strategy in no way can find a way to save it, but they effort to resuscitate it. They think it should be done through a large reset and restart. And then you can start with a clean account – until the next crisis...
Green energy
Green Energy, which is in the order of day in US abroad policy, is not directed against corporations within the most developed capitalist countries. On the contrary, corporations are gaining a fresh impetus through climate hazard stories to modernise technology and production and flood planet markets with their modern products, which others will be forced to acquisition in the interest of the environment. Capitalism is simply a suicide strategy and it is not about protecting the environment, corporations and oligarchy destruct the environment as long as the economical activity in question provides profits. Poisonous substances were drowned in the oceans, the decaying plastic circulating in the blood of animals and humans. There is inactive talk about the Chernobyl disaster, and the problem of the effects of thousands of trial atomic explosions and Fukushima power plants is closed in the information field – there is no problem. "dirty" production is being transferred to underdeveloped countries and is later required to comply with environmental standards and expenditure for this purpose. The only aim is not to let fresh industrial states to make to hamper their progress. The United States is 1 of the largest producers of all pollutants.
Turns out the 100 largest corporations are liable for 80% of the global pollution. Military corporations and the U.S. Army are leading this list. Without looking at the fact that 1 of the largest environmental disasters in past was caused, 3 strands of the Nord-Stream gas pipeline were blown up in the interests of American energy corporations, thus releasing immense amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
Export of American Democracy
George Friedman in his book Next decade. Where we were and where we were going to specify abroad policy objectives, he utilized the general word for the implementation of American interests and covered it with the expression "rebalancing the regional balance". However, there could be no uncertainty that this was not about any "regional balance", but about ensuring the dominance of the interests of the United States and their corporations in the region. And that's the fundamental difference. It was only on the last pages of the book that he wrote that “The strategy of balance of power is fundamentally a form of maritime war, due to the fact that not allowing rivals to strengthen themselves in the seas makes America's safe powerIt’s okay. ” This mechanics was very clearly presented by Friedman for the full world. An example of Russia's and Ukraine's relations is how his proposals for the President's actions were implemented in political practice.
Friedman did not hide that erstwhile the USSR dissolved the United States had disposed of a dangerous and equal enemy. From the early 1990s to the early 1920s, The United States could enjoy the name of the only empire. The erstwhile Central European socialist states, formerly in russian influence orbit, were even annexed to NATO. From the position of historical processes, however, this situation did not last long. Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, arranged economical affairs, developed the mining manufacture of gas and oil and metals (including uncommon earth metals, essential especially in electronics and the aerospace industry), and reorganized and modernised its army. Western Europe has become dependent on inexpensive Russian supplies. According to any economists, the German "economic wonder" was mostly based on inexpensive energy resources from Russia.
Russia has worked with the US for many years even in the fight against terrorism and has helped Americans to establish military bases in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, essential to invade Afghanistan. However, the Russians considered it a temporary solution, but after 3 years the United States inactive did not want to leave these bases – they only stepped down under common force from Russia and China. Furthermore, not only against Russia, the US attacked Iraq, and they were stuck there for almost 20 years. The United States has been surrounding Russia with a strategy of military bases and rocket launchers from the very beginning, starting to subjugate Ukraine and Georgia. Behind Russia's back, Georgia provided weapons for Chechen muslim separatists. The United States did not like the dependence of Germany and France on Russian gas supplies, especially since they did not support the US's east policies as clearly as they wanted and the expansion of NATO. The United States has been doing everything possible from the very beginning to block the construction and operation of the Nord Stream-2 pipeline, moving across the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.
No wonder that since 2004, after the events of the first Majdan in Ukraine, Putin's squad stopped believing in genuine cooperation and good intentions of the United States. In 2007, Putin gave a celebrated Munich speech in which he considered the USSR's dissolution to be "the most crucial geopolitical disaster of the 20th century". The “hawks” in the United States presented this as a preview of the reconstruction of the USSR, although they knew that it was impossible and did not fit into Putin's plans. In 2008, erstwhile the Olympics in China began and sixteen years after the erstwhile war ended, Georgia attacked South Ossetia supported by Russia. Russia responded by hitting its troops in a fewer hours and occupied part of Georgia, neutralising it for a while. However, contrary to the facts in all countries under the United States, there is simply a repeated lie that Russia would invade Georgia...
According to Robert Kennedy, Jr., there are papers confirming that the United States has broken the promises given to Russia that NATO will not be developed eastwards close Russia. erstwhile mass protests began in Ukraine in 2014, they were funded by the CIA, under cover of the American Agency for global Development. The operation was spent $5 billion. These protests led to the overthrow of the democratically elected power that refused to take sides. And the United States needed authorities that would clearly head for the West. That's why we had to get free of power. Viktor Yanukovych. 1 period before the overthrow of this power Victoria Nuland (who is simply a typical of the U.S. neoliberals and held a advanced office in the administration), she held a secret conversation with the United States Ambassador to Ukraine, whose evidence is now publically available, in which everyone can learn how she chose a fresh government for then Ukraine, more loyal to the West and the US. They chose a fresh government a period before the old 1 was overthrown.
Combating the European Union and its approximation with Russia
According to Friedman, the most dangerous thing for the United States was the approximation of Russia's natural materials and the modern economy of the European Union. Friedman wrote plainly, and let us remember that he created a private (?) intelligence and forecasting company: “The objectives of America in Eurasia, understood as Russia and the European Peninsula, are the same as in another regions: it is to prevent the dominance of 1 force (or a coalition of forces) in a given area. Russia, integrated into Europe, could make specified a power: its population, industrial possible and natural resources would at least be equal to the American people, and most likely even surpassed them"2. So the concerns were serious. Friedman further wrote that the United States had already 3 times countered the German-Russian rapprochement: after signing the peace of Brest in 1918; in planet War II, they supported the russian Union to bleed out the Wehrmacht and not let Germany to take over immense areas of Russia; and after planet War II the United States did everything to guarantee that the russian Union did not dominate and approach Western Europe. Thus, the effort to torpedo Russia's agreement with the European Union, and mainly with Germany, which did not want to bear the main burden of maintaining certain weak EU economies, was not the first and at least the 4th effort to torpedo the relationships which Germany and Russia seem economically apparent and desirable.
Friedman, placing figures on a geopolitical chessboard for his president, wrote in 2011: “If Germany and Russia proceed to decision towards an alliance, countries between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, the alleged countries of the Mediterranean, will become indispensable to United States policy. Poland is the largest and most strategically located.” Friedman was aware of the universality of anti-Russian and anti-German nationalism in Poland. He so proposed to usage these historical fears to keep Poland suspended between these countries. Friedman proposed to organize and strengthen Poland's economical aid. ‘After all, maintaining a strong wedge, driven between Germany and Russia, is 1 of America's vital interests." another countries in the region were besides to play the function of this wedge. He warned that the disclosure of the United States' desire to block Germany could lead to closer cooperation between the periphery countries and Germany. Friedman did not even effort to hide and wrote openly that in this area United States policy should usage fraud and lying and be two-faced. "It is essential to convince Europe that the United States is simply approaching all the countries that want it, and that Poland, the remainder of the Mediterranean and the Baltic countries are accidentally among these countries". Friedman, we see, therefore, that in the event of their game being revealed, he suggested that all of this be a "accident", although the diversionary goal was clearly set...
The European Union was not free from contradictions and crises and Friedman tried to analyse them more closely. In his opinion, the 2008 crisis exacerbated contradictions and "the delicate balance of power created to integrate Germany into Europe begins to fall apart". According to Friedman, the alleged centre of the European Union included France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. On the periphery lies Ireland, Spain, Italy, Greece, and east Europe. For the United States, it was most dangerous to strengthen cooperation and to bring France and Germany closer together, as this cooperation strengthened Germany's position, which developed economical cooperation with Russia. This was to exacerbate the contradictions between the centre and the periphery that the United States was to use. Friedman besides predicted that Britain would come closer to the United States, which became a fact after the referendum and Britain's speech from the European Union.
"In this stalemate, the solution for America would be to break up the French-German bloc over the next 10 years. The president of the United States should work towards a deep gap between these countries, but this cannot be the basis of his strategy. [...] America must focus on limiting the strength of the centre of Europe and make efforts to break the Russian-German alliance. In another words, like Britain, it should apply the rule of balance of power in Europe." Friedman predicted that for the Paris-Berlin-Moscow axis, the alternate would be the Washington-London axis and the mediate East European states.. It seemed that after the contract between Australia and the US on the construction of atomic submarines and the displacement of France from a contract worth about $75 billion, France will approach Germany. However, the outbreak of the war in Ukraine has allowed the United States, so far, to submit to both France and Germany. However, in an unofficial manner, they will most likely do everything to weaken Ukraine's ability to win the pro-American forces and the full defeat of Russia.
Germany's leadership in the European Union, in line with Friedman's plans, is peculiarly powerfully questioned by Poland. Poland, too, was the most active in helping Ukraine, hoping to organize a macro-region around it...
