Russia's strong determination to guard its national interests and promote a multi-polar world order has dealt a serious blow to Washington's aspirations to rule the entire world, American publicist Mike Whitney noted.
Ekaterina Blinova — Russia's determination to protect its national interests and pursue an unbiased foreign policy, regardless of Western pressure, is viewed by Washington as an "unforgivable crime," according to Mike Whitney.
In February 2007 during his famous speech at the 43rd Munich Security Conference Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the course of American foreign policy, providing a comprehensive analysis of the devastating consequences of US interventionism and its negative impact on global security.
President Putin also denounced the unipolar model as unacceptable, impossible and contradictory the core values of modern civilization: "This really is pernicious not just for dozens of within this technique, but also for the sovereign itself since it destroys itself from within," he warned, pledging his commitment to a multi-polar world.
American publicist Mike Whitney underscored that President Putin's candid observation left a strong impression on US policy-makers, who thought that by prevailing in the Cold War the United States became the sole super-power in a brand new "Washington-centric" global system. "Now they knew that Putin would not dance to Washington's tune," the publicist stressed.
Russia's firm determination to pursue an unbiased foreign policy has been viewed by Washington as an "unforgivable crime," that poses a critical challenge to American global hegemony.
To date, the United States has signaled it goes to deal with this "problem" by any means necessary, including economic sanctions, a Washington-backed military coup in Ukraine, a conspiracy to crash oil prices, an attack against the ruble and a proxy-war in Donbas region using neo-Nazi fighters.
Numerous false flag operations aimed to discredit the Russian president and to drive a wedge between Moscow and its European partners will also be getting used by Washington in order to shake up Russia's political system, the publicist pointed out.
"Now the Pentagon is planning to send 600 paratroopers to Ukraine ostensibly to "train the Ukrainian National Guard," a critical escalation that violates the spirit of the next Minsk 2 and which calls for a proportionate response from the Kremlin," noted Mike Whitney, stressing that "the US doesn't have red lines in regards to achieving its strategic goals."
To date, Whitney suggested that the murder of Boris Nemtsov, an agent of the Kremlin's opposition, has been carried out as a component of a bigger regime change scheme, directed to provoke social unrest in Russia and destabilize the government. The publicist noted that the US has practiced this kind of scenario in various color-coded revolutions before and stressed that shortly after Nemtsov was killed in Moscow, western media sources unanimously pointed the accusing finger to the Kremlin regardless of the very fact they'd no evidence to support their claims.
The publicist reminded that the United States has repeatedly used similar tactics putting pressure on Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Syria and countless other nations to cause them to "march in lockstep" to the directives of the White House.
However, regardless of this pressure, Russia has withstood NATO encirclement and Washington's attempts "to loot Russia's natural resources" as well as to alter the configuration of international security by implementing elements of the US nuclear capability in Europe. Resisting further eastward expansion of NATO, Russia in addition has blocked Washington's Asia pivot strategy aimed to undermine the Russian Federation, encircle China, maintain control over Eurasia's resources flow and establish the unipolar hegemony of the United States, Whitney emphasized.
The United States has a wide selection of instruments at its disposal. The Austrian magazine named assigning false credit ratings as a primary example.
