Chapter 77 looking for new villains

〖In order to maintain its dominance in the world, the United States has launched an attack on all sides to suppress and disintegrate all possible emerging forces. Japan, the four Asian tigers, Russia, and the Balkan countries, all emerging potential forces are her enemies. 〗 With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, much of the world was filled with expectations of a new era of peace and prosperity.But, to put it mildly, the ensuing decade was a decade of disappointment.Geopolitics and the Cold War are by no means over, the stage has just changed.As the only remaining superpower in the world, Washington began to seek to establish a new world order. In his State of the Union address in 1991, President Bush accidentally made a slip of the tongue, which aroused great concern from everyone.People have too many questions about the new world order, whose order is this, and what is the point of this new order?

From the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s to the start of a new war on terrorism in the early 2000s, these years were far from peaceful and stable.In Washington, the geopolitical focus shifted from Ronald Reagan's "Empire of Evil," the Soviet Union, to President George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil," a strategic alliance that deftly encompasses all of Eurasia, from Iraq and Iran to North Korea. Continent blur concept.That underlying red line in this shift is the geopolitics of the United States, which drives many major events in the world.Oil and the dollar played a decisive role in this shift.

During the Cold War, the leadership of the United States in Western society was based on the ostensible global threat of the Soviet Union.Washington was well aware that once this threat ended in the late 1980s, the U.S. hold on key Western military allies would disappear.Military allies are about to become potential rivals.There are already signs that Japan, East Asia and the European Union will be the main challengers to US hegemony economically. After 1990, the United States made this economic challenge a geopolitical focus. Armed with the credo of free market reform, privatization, and dollar democracy, and with the strong backing of Wall Street financial firms, the Clinton administration began to infiltrate the dollar and American influence into areas that had previously been closed to it.To help Washington win special status as a market economy, the United States is targeting not just the ex-communist economies of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in this religious movement-like battle — but any part of the world that continues to try to exploit its own resources, independently in areas other than the IMF and the U.S. dollar.This move also includes bringing all major oil-producing regions more or less directly under US control, from the Caspian Sea to Iraq, from West Africa to Colombia.It was an ambitious move.Critics defined it as imperialism; the Clinton administration called it an extension of market economics and human rights.This is definitely not the situation that most countries in the world hope to see after the end of the Cold War.

In the 1990s, the Clinton administration and its Wall Street allies brought one region after another into the orbit of a market economy on the promise that free markets would lead to affluence and prosperity.It is "globalization" in name, but in fact, this globalization process is a process of continuously consolidating the power and status of the United States through the power of the US banking, financial and corporate power. Until the process is well under way, not many people realize that it is an important part of a well-thought-out strategy.Free trade is usually proposed by economically stronger countries to relatively weaker countries.By the time Washington's intentions became clear, the US had largely disarmed its potential adversaries and established a new military encirclement around the world to protect her interests and ensure that no one lost faith in the transition to a free market , thereby attempting to revert to the previous legacy mode.

In the 1950s, under the influence of the Cold War and the Eisenhower Doctrine, the United States declared that it was ready to use force to assist any Middle Eastern country that requested help to resist the invasion of communism. In the 40 years since 1945, this doctrine has been used repeatedly by Washington, red-labeling countless national leaders, from Mossadegh to Nasser.Red tags are grounds for military or other action. After 1990, Washington faced a serious problem.Since communism can no longer be used as a legitimate cover for legitimate interference in the internal affairs of other countries, what kind of excuses can it find in the future to justify its foreign policies?It took them more than ten years to find the answer until before the new millennium.

In the meantime, starting with Japan, the American establishment is ready to offer a feast to an unsuspecting world.Washington knows that its ability to maintain global leadership depends entirely on how it handles Eurasian issues from Europe to the Pacific.Former presidential adviser and geopolitician Zbigniew Brzezinski put it bluntly: …to use the harsher terms of the Imperial Age, the three very pressing geopolitical issues of the Empire were to prevent collusion among allies and maintain their safe dependence, to keep vassals obedient and protected, and to ' Don't let the savages unite'.

It's an ambitious plan.
