U.S. Asks More Nations to Become Targets of Russian and Chinese Missiles

Illustrative Image

Written by Eric Zuesse

According to a December 6th report by the Congressional Research Service, the United States Government is, and since May has been, offering inducements to foreign countries that are not yet bases from which the U.S. is being allowed to position and launch missiles against Russia and/or China, to become such bases, which would make those nations become additional targets for Russian and/or Chinese missiles. The U.S. is seeking to spread Russia’s and China’s military targets to countries that aren’t yet such targets. Doing this would increase the amounts of weaponry that are being sold, and that would especially benefit American weapons-manufacturers because America is the world’s largest manufacturer of military weapons, and also because the second and third largest such manufacturers, Russia and China, have weapons-producers that are majority-owned by their Government itself, and therefore the weapons-makers there don’t respond primarily to investors, but instead to the nation’s actual and authentic national-defense needs (the Government’s needs). America’s ‘Defense’ firms, such as Lockheed Martin, fund the careers of and thereby control its politicians and Government and its ‘defense’-policies, in order to be able to control their own markets, which are mainly the U.S. Government but also the U.S.-allied Governments (which likewise are controlled largely by such private investors in military-related firms), but in both Russia and China, which still retain socialism regarding their military manufacturers, the Government controls its “Defense” firms; and, so, their defense-policies are strictly for defense (that national, instead of private, purpose), whereas in America and its allied countries, the ‘defense’-firms are for aggression (because producing wars is what benefits the investors in those firms, which control their own Government and its ‘allies’ or vassal-Governments).

Here is the passage from the Congressional Research Service report:

Reportedly, in May 2022, the Secretary of the Army stated the Army did not yet have basing agreements for longrange systems but “discussions were ongoing” with a number of countries in the Indo-Pacific region. Given the importance of basing, Congress might examine ongoing efforts to secure Army long-range precision fires unit basing in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.

These Governments “in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific region” are close enough to Russia, and to China, so that if the United States goes to war against Russia and/or China directly (instead of, as now, indirectly — such as it does in both Ukraine on Russia’s border, and Taiwan on China’s border) to conquer Russia and/or China, then those missiles, which will be targeted against one or both of those two countries, will be within range of either Moscow or else Beijing, and will, therefore, become assets adding to America’s likelihood of entirely controlling a post-WW-III world. Largely because military weapons are, in the U.S. and its ‘allied’ countries, controlled by private investors (basically by U.S.-and-allied billionaires), the U.S. Government’s main objective is to control a post-WW-III world. In other words: that Government’s main objective is aggression (defense is actually only secondary). By contrast, in both Russia and China, the entire militaries are designed and function solely for the purpose of national defense, which means preventing, instead of winning, a WW III. In both Russia and China, the ONLY objective of the military, and the MAIN objective of all OTHER policies, is, in fact, defense of the nation. In the U.S. and its ‘allied’ nations, the MAIN objective of the entire Government is expansion of the U.S. empire for it to control ultimately every nation — which means the conquest of every nation that isn’t already part of it. Whereas the top objective of the U.S. Government is imperial — not to prevent but to win a WW III — the top objective of its targeted nations (or ‘enemies’) is instead national (actually to prevent a WW III). And this explains the respective foreign (including military and diplomatic) policies, on each of the two sides: imperialistic versus anti-imperialistic. That is how to interpret and understand each side: it is the difference in perspective — that of the predator (on America’s side), versus that of its prey (on the side of the predator’s intended victims).

A commonly expressed view by proponents of the predator’s side in international relations is that if its side becomes defeated or fades, then there will be no basic change except the identity of the predator. That viewpoint (everyone’s being psychopathic) might be universally true in the state of nature, but not necessarily in the state of civilization. Both Russia and China have repeatedly condemned, on a moral basis — an anti-imperialistic basis — the predatory perspective in international relations, the win-lose or “zero-sum-game” view, and have — at least verbally — promised that if and when the U.S. becomes defeated or simply fades-out, both Russia and China will move forward ONLY on a win-win (i.e., anti-imperialistic) basis regarding all other nations. America’s President Franklin Delano Roosevelt passionately expressed, repeatedly, both in private and in public, the same commitment, to an only win-win future, that Russia and China now express: a repugnance and rejection of any and all imperialism. However, his immediate two successors, Truman and Eisenhower, despised FDR and promptly committed the U.S., on 25 July 1945, to America’s ultimately conquering the entire world. America has been on that path ever since (to win WW III), and the Biden Administration is especially obsessively so. (Perhaps Biden fears he’ll die soon and wants to be around to see America controlling the entire world, so is rushing things along; but, in any case, he is turning out to be a terrific performer for the people who invested in him, among the mega-donors, including, for example, a former Vice Chairman and top investor in Lockheed Martin who helped organize Biden’s billionaires, and — as a Democrat, which means hypocrite — had said publicly that “I frankly believe that both Democrats and Republicans [referring only to members of Congress — the people whom people such as he himself buy] … are overly influenced by the defense industry in this country.” Biden keeps his secret promises to his mega-donors, but ignores his public promises to his voters. That’s the way America’s ‘democracy’ works.)

In the imperial world of government-by-corruption, government is for sale always to the highest bidders, and in the vassal-nations it means that “ongoing efforts to secure Army long-range precision fires unit basing in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific region” will — since that will necessarily mean their own nation’s becoming targeted by the missiles of Russia and/or China — a “public/private partnership” or legal bribe being paid to the vassal-nation’s leaders in order for the U.S. Government to be able to win that ultimate sacrifice of the given vassal-nation. Of course, such bribes are private, not public, since those are vassal-nations and their ‘democracy’ is only a mockery of the real thing.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

EU must not be USA slave

If Russia would bomb the US bases with their entire personal inside, without damaging people property, I guess nobody from any country would have any problem with that.

Anyone I know think across these lines: “Can you, yankees, go home and die there, in your own filth? We are sick of you, really… Not even Porn Valley can make you interesting anymore.”

Yeah the holocaust wasn’t real. Hitler and the Nazis were attacking jewish communist bolshevism in Russia. Too bad now Russians have to use all that to fight the “Nazis”

The Nazis were the good guys trying to wipe out jewish communism.

Now I like what I read Mr. Eric Zuesse… Military Might and Hegemony is at the top of the Pyramid of Power. Everything else is below and secondary. The world created after WWII was created by the Military Generals of the USA and the URSS.

Independent governments

KaZa

They overthrow governments that go against U.S. interests and economy, which is based on neoliberalism and capitalism. You follow those economic doctrines, then congrats, they will support you and look to the other way round and declare you a democracy, similar way Ukraine’s declared a democracy and they’re now saying Azov is not a Nazi group. Ukraine has already started to do neoliberal economic reforms in their country.

KaZa

Still, if things go wrong, they’ll remove support and then, try to install another puppet, as they did in Somalia, they supported a ruthless dictator, Siad Barre, for about 20 years, once the people was getting ready to overthrow him, U.S. stopped their support in 1991, then they returned in 1993 to bring in “freedom and democracy” to Somalia, what that Hollywood propaganda film of Black Hawk Down makes echo of it.

Back then, Somalia was important for the U.S. mainly because of its trading route and they have oil, too, now Somalia discovered they have oil at their coasts, the U.S. is back in there with their army and “democracy” and they managed to convince the current Somali administration to sign a deal with a U.S. oil company that they initially rejected it.

So to join that kind of policy – China and Russia could open basis on Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela to name some…

As the ongoing collapse of the angloZionaZi empire of filth speeds up it is getting more difficult to find additional political whores in the bankrupt empire willing to lash their nations to the stinking, doomed USSAN albatross and the Washing town sewer’s date with destruction. USSA’s last war will be fought in Slumville primarily especially if it is sick enough to imagine it can take on the Mighty Bear and the Industrial Dragon.

It’s always funny to see people mentioning USA as a great example for everything, from time to time, I hear right wing analysts or politicians doing that where I live.

The U.S. is an oligarchy, just a few decide the fate of the rest, yet they managed to implant this idea your vote counts, it helps their media just repeats those lies through mere entertainment, it counts to decide, which billionaires will get their money back from what they gave to a campaign.

On the other hand, there are sellouts politicians in other countries, right wing neoliberal politicians, which the U.S. gov. gives money to them if they comply, another reason why they favor U.S. interests, if some hesitate to do what they say, they could have information about them, so the U.S. threatens them with that.

First an enemy is built and then he is fought…..This is how the global regime always does it. How can it be that now, of all times, the US regime is attacking the Chinese and Russian regimes or that these regimes are suddenly fighting each other??? Why were they good friends before and why did they start arguing at the push of a button?? Why don’t Putin, Scholz and Biden fight personally but sit in the palace and let them fight??? This world is embarrassing because it’s stupid. Politicians are one of humanity’s biggest problems, even if they have an illogical positive PR like Putin or Trump.
