Offsite Post: ‘Don’t Go to War over Belarus’

 

The Deep State in Washington City seems to have settled on its next target for regime change:  Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus.  Casually listening to lefty NPR today yielded two in-depth reports on the supposed evils being perpetrated by Pres Lukashenko.  The right is also fueling the fire with reports of its own about the crisis at the border of Poland and Belarus.

We have seen this too many times in recent years not to understand what is happening.  When the news media of all political persuasions begins to coalesce around a bad guy, they, like St John the Baptist, are preparing the way – for a war.  Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Slobodan Milosevich in Serbia, Muammar Qaddafi in Libya, Bashar Assad in Syria, the technique is the same every time:  Vilify the target for weeks, and then bomb and/or invade.

The media handwringing over refugees is dishonest at best.  If these reporters were really concerned about them, they would be pressuring the US and EU to stop the wars in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) that these superstates started and which have caused millions of people to seek shelter in Western Europe.  Instead, they either turn a blind eye, or keep up the pressure for more Western intervention in the MENA region.

The Washington Deep State’s goals in Belarus are likely related to what is going in Ethiopia and elsewhere in MENA:

 

The destruction of state structures in the Horn of Africa is the Pentagon’s objective after having destroyed state structures in the wider Middle East. The destruction of Sudan (divided in 2011 into Sudan proper and South Sudan) and Ethiopia (divided in 1993 into Ethiopia proper and Eritrea) has already taken place. Both countries are now in the midst of new civil wars that are likely to lead to new partitions.

 

Leading the way, the American diplomat Jeffrey D. Feltman first organised the war in Syria for ten years – i.e. the financing and arming of the jihadists – [1], before becoming President Joe Biden’s special envoy for the Horn of Africa. His speech, on November 1, 2021, before the Pentagon think tank, the U.S. Institute of Peace (equivalent to the National Endowment for Democracy -NED- [2] in the Secretariat of State), repeated the same rhetoric that was successively developed against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon.

Weak, divided countries are easier for a union of States with global, hegemonic pretensions to control, in whatever part of the world they are in. 

But in the case of Belarus, the intentions go beyond this.  The destabilization of Russia is the real goal here.  The power-mad American elite detest any nation that dares to challenge American supremacy in global affairs.  Russia is one of those nations of late, along with China, so they must be brought back into subjection to Pres Obama’s Indispensable Nation somehow. 

Surrounding enemies like Russia with nations run by American puppets is one way to do that (first the Ukraine in 2014; now an attempt in Belarus).  But if conservatives in the States really want to make a clean break with the phony conservatism of the Bushes, Boehners, Cheneys, and others of previous years, then they need to reject this new push to meddle in the internal affairs of a country thousands of miles away that has little bearing on our day-to-day lives.  Europe can and should handle the Poland-Belarus situation on its own, without US interference.

The South, for her part, should follow the sound advice of her mature statesmen.  Here is some of what one of them said during the Vietnam War:
