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.
No one world order, no new world order…..sovereign nations only…human rights..
Would like to hear what our President has to say…..
Putin has been talking about this for a long time, this is something I can fully agree with him about. It is also something America should support him on too, this is probably one of the biggest reasons we are blessed that Trump won.
Russia does not use the Federal Reserve system of banking. Although they have a fiat currency, it is backed by something of value. Russia has no debt. Russia does not find it necessary to “liberate” other nations, stripping them of their natural resources and enslaving them into debt. Russia has no use for one world government, lay abouts, welfare seekers, hand out demanders, insurrectionists and traitors. Russia is hated by Liberals world wide.
Good plan
