Chapter 6 cold war never ended

Most international observers of today's international affairs ignore an important fact: For the establishment in the United States (including the Pentagon, the US military industry, and oil giants such as Honeyburton, ExxonMobil, and ChevronTexaco), the Cold War It didn't end with the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, nor with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In fact, to this day, the Cold War has never ended. In order to achieve nuclear superiority, Washington has been doing all it can to engage in an arms race.The Polish and Czech missile defense systems that have been making a lot of noise are actually not for defense.This is only a necessary step to gain the advantage of the first round of nuclear strikes.If this attempt succeeds, life on this planet will be eclipsed.

Understanding why the US authorities did not end the Cold War is crucial to understanding the world today. In the early 1990s, the Western world had the opportunity to turn swords into plows, convert its huge military industry to civilian use, and take Russia as a partner to participate in Russia's imminent economic reconstruction. But under pressure from the United States, the G7 did not do so.Instead, at the insistence of President George W. Bush, the West forced the IMF to apply free-market "shock therapy" to Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, and all of Eastern Europe.The result is a rich mine for Western multinationals to plunder.Russia thus plunged into unspeakable chaos.China has thus learned a lesson that must be avoided at all costs.

In the September/October 1997 issue of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Bignew Brzezinski published an influential article outlining US foreign policy in the "post-Cold War era".Brzezinski, a foreign policy adviser to today's presidential candidate Barack Obama and an avowed supporter of Halford Mackinder's geopolitical doctrine, wrote in 1997: Eurasia is home to most of the politically confident and dynamic countries in the world.All the superpowers that aspired to the world in history originated from the Eurasian continent.The world's most populous regional powers, such as China and India, are also in Eurasia, and they are likely to be political or economic challengers to U.S. dominance.After the United States, the six largest economic and military powers are here, and they are all overt or undeclared nuclear forces.Eurasia accounts for 75% of the world's population, 60% of GNP and 75% of energy.In general, the potential power of Eurasia even exceeds that of the United States.

Eurasia is the largest landmass in the world, located on the core axis of the world.If it has the ability to dominate Eurasia, it can exert decisive influence on two of the three most economically developed regions in the world-Western Europe and East Asia.A quick glance at the map reveals that the country that dominates Eurasia naturally dominates the Middle East and Africa.Eurasia is already the most important chess game in geopolitics, and there is no need to set up a separate game (policy formulation) for Europe and Asia.The distribution of power in Eurasia is decisive for U.S. global superiority. …

A careful look at the map of Eurasia shows that this region is too important to China, because it is the focus of Washington's control of Eurasia in the future.The United States has established a series of NATO bases in Kosovo, Poland, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, and possibly Ukraine. Its goal is not only to encircle Russia strategically, but also to enable NATO to control the energy links between Russia and the European Union. Washington's current policy involves a series of changes or coups in "democratic" institutions, like the "color revolutions" in Ukraine and Georgia.To weaken China's defense potential for strategic energy routes, Washington has also listed Myanmar as an important target.

A strategic purpose of changing the system is also to cut off China's access to the Caspian region in order to obtain oil and gas reserves in the Caspian region, including Kazakhstan.Once upon a time, due to the mountainous geography of the region, the great Silk Road passed through Tashkent in Uzbekistan and Amati in Kazakhstan.Geopolitical control of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan would enable control of pipeline routes between China and Central Asia, just as encircling Russia would help control oil pipelines and their connections with Western Europe, China, India Connections to the Middle East.

The Bush administration has desperately accused the Darfur region of southern Sudan of genocide, and its purpose is to bring NATO troops into this region, which has nothing to do with Washington's protection of local human rights.Just look at Iraq or Afghanistan to see how much Washington cares about human rights! This is indeed related to China's growing oil imports.As Kissinger said, if you control oil, you control all countries or the entire world. For leaders in Beijing, the 2003 US invasion of Iraq was a wake-up call.The U.S. military has begun to control strategic oil sites and resources, so that it can control Eurasia, especially China and Russia.

Beijing's response has been prudent and savvy, as Sun Tzu, the great Chinese military strategist, put it: avoid the real and attack the false.Avoid going head-to-head with your opponent.
