It was President Reagan who proposed and implemented the “trust but verify” doctrine as a guidepost for U.S. dealings with the then Soviet Union. For all the screams from the left accusing Reagan of being a warmonger, no war broke out. Instead, not many years later the Berlin Wall came down as the Soviet Union was no more. Hopes for a “peace dividend” were high as the world hoped that the specter of nuclear war had been reduced dramatically.
And it has largely worked out. Tensions between Russia and the U.S. have been reduced, and no one has fired a nuclear weapon at anyone else, in spite of some nations joining the “nuclear club.” Relations with Russia warmed, at least for a time, and there was even speculation as to whether NATO was even necessary anymore.
Yet old hostilities and suspicions die hard. And the U.S., as well as Russia, remain heavily armed with thousands of nuclear weapons. The Neocon influence in Washington argues strongly for a powerful commitment to NATO by the U.S., and for American hegemony throughout the world. It’s a dangerous idea, and one at which Russia recoils. In fact, its foreign minister is calling for a move away from a world order centered on one nation, and for a multi-polar world order.
There are those in Washington for whom such an idea is anathema. More on where this might go on page two.
This is why the left demonizes Russia
Russia has more common sense than you’ll find collectively in Washington, DC.
No NWO everybody just take care of your own country
against NWO
Russia is correct, once again we are on the same side for different reasons. We defeated these same New World Order Globalist in WW2. They were led by European Union headed by Germany then too. They wanted all Jews, dead and ridiculed Christians then also.
Got news for you the Elites. Queen and bankers owned both sides of the war. Fords, Bushes and Rockefellers to name a few helped the “evil” Germany. Communism was created to overthrow the Czars in Russia. The U.S military are the enforcers/armed wing of the bankers
I 2nd that. Every country should govern there own country. No one person or one group of people should have power over the whole planet. Only God has that right.
Of course this is the reason that the left which is the DNC the American Communist Democrats and the Rino Republicans they are globalists very Pro One World socialist government. They are so viciously against Donald Trump and the current Administration because true conservatives and true patriotic Americans are totally against this movement toward a one world socialist government via the UN which is managed by mostly third world Torrance who are puppets of the likes of George Satan Soros and other multi-billionaire globalists who wish to control everything and every person !
UN ( globalists) managed mostly by Third World tyrants
The New World Order, or Globalism, is trying to do to the world what the EU is doing to Europe, or what the old Soviet Union used to to do to their member states.
Variety is always better than monolithic conformity. It’s always been an American belief that our many several states are better than one super state, because if one state screw up with bad policies, it won’t take the other states down with it. If it was just one super state, one bad policy could bring down the entire nation.
Same reasoning for the several nations of the world. One nation screws up, like Venezuela currently is, and it doesn’t bring down the other nations.
If a single world Globalist government of any kind makes a bad decision, it could bring down the entire world.
Besides all that, multiple states, and multiple nations provide an endless variety and unique thinking to the solutions of problems.
And an endless variety of creations and inventions and artistic talent, literature, music, and every variety of imaginative ideas or scientific breakthroughs.
Same with a large world population. Despite what Globalists think, they are all living and thinking in the past. We don’t have too many people in the world. They forget that people, for the reasons above stated, are assets, not liabilities.
Most Globalists have their minds stuck two hundred years in the past, when a guy named Thomas Malthus wrote a book about how the Earth can only sustain a population of so many, and more would mean starvation.
Of course, Malthus could not imagine our modern science and technology, which has already proved him wrong.
Globalism is nothing but a power grab on a large scale for the private benefit of a handful of rich guys who consider the wide variety of humans on this planet nothing more than their “work force.”
