The US CANNOT be negotiated with
Brian Berletic: Regarding US-Russian Negotiations
1. The US CANNOT be negotiated with – no matter what “leverage” anyone including Russia “thinks” they have over the US – the US only seeks space and time to reassert itself – no level of betrayal is beneath them (for more information please see: Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Minsk 1, Minsk 2, every arms control treaty the US ever signed, etc);
2. The ONLY way for multipolarism to prevail is to create a world that forces the US into first – isolation economically and diplomatically, as well as containment militarily where its military has no possible means of fighting and winning through conventional, nuclear, hybrid, or other means and remains confined to US borders INDEFINITELY;
3. The US and all means of influence, coercion, and capture must be displaced/isolated until the special interests – corporations/financial institutions driven by a deep supremacist mindset collapse and are swept away by alternative interests in the US who genuinely seek to work constructively with the rest of the world – ZERO such interests exist in any significant degree in the US at the moment – this will take a generation or more, if it is even possible;
4. The rest of the world dreams of normality and returning to the “status quo,” but as the US has demonstrated with Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Libya, Iraq, and its growing confrontation with Russia and China directly – the interests running the US are only getting more desperate and dangerous – they will NEVER – accept defeat or compromise;
5. Any decision made by Moscow or Beijing or anyone else in regards to the US believing somehow the multipolar world has a seat at whatever table US interests rule from and will eventually be respected and accepted by these interests – are likewise dangerously delusional and will lead their people, and possibly the entire planet to ruination;
6. We can only hope that Moscow and its allies understand all of this – and are only dragging their feet to buy time and manipulate the US in turn – that this is their own version of uncompromising insistence on a better world in the same way the US insists on destroying it;
7. Unfortunately, I have met far too many people who constantly fall for Washington’s game of musical chairs through elections, the perception that the White House or Congress make decisions, that the people running US policy are reasonable and that they and their “allies” (proxies/client states) are guided by self-interest rather than deep, supremacist ideology and blind greed that short-circuits everything up to and including self-preservation.
Because of these deep misconceptions across the multipolar world, strategy to deal with the danger US special interests pose constantly and consistently falls far short and repeatedly ends in failure and all the tragedy that comes with it;
This is one of these junctures I sincerely hope I’m wrong about…
There are only two things that come to my mind about the BIG EVENT coming up between: Donald “that war wouldn’t have started if I were President” Trump vs Vladimir “the authoritarian dictator” Putin Either Russia is going to play Lucy and pull the football out from under Charlie Brown… Read more »
“…or this has been in the works for months in the background not under the media spotlight.” Precisely. This meeting holds a great lesson: NEVER pay attention to one word from Trump; watch only the material things that happen on the ground. I keep offering this suggestion, but everyone’s commentary… Read more »
I agree with all the points that Brian Berletic makes. Very true. However, I could imagine also points to consider from the Russian side. Realistically, in this world today, on this scale of importance you cannot say ‘this town ain’t big enough for the both of us’. You also cannot… Read more »
Brian says he hopes he is wrong. I also hope so, but I agree with him. That is not to say negotiations and a set of regulations as to how to live together are not necessary. It is only to say that not one agreement can be depended upon.
Putin said nothing changes between US Prezes (deep state continuity of gov). [01] [02] [03]
“Moscow and its allies understand all of this – and are only dragging their feet to buy TIME and manipulate the US in turn”
TIME for controlled collapse into own footprint, and to avoid this
sadly agree with all of this and more- honestly, I feel like we are returning to the times of silver cup ware and poison testers. As much as this meeting and other codes of conduct are something the rational side has to work with, at the rate things are going… Read more »
I believe Putin’s team is hyperaware. But your comment stands. We all feel like that.
