Paul Craig Roberts: Why World War III Is On The Horizon

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 gave birth to a dangerous American ideology called neoconservativism. The Soviet Union had served as a constraint on US unilateral action. With the removal of this constraint on Washington, neoconservatives declared their agenda of US world hegemony. America was now the “sole superpower,” the “unipower,” that could act without restraint anywhere in the world.

The Washington Post neoconservative journalist Charles Krauthammer summed up the “new reality” as follows:

“We have overwheming global power. We are history’s designated custodians of the international system. When the Soviet Union fell, something new was born, something utterly new–a unipolar world dominated by a single superpower unchecked by any rival and with decisive reach in every corner of the globe. This is a stagering new development in history, not seen since the fall of Rome. Even Rome was no model for what America is today.”

The staggering unipolar power that history has given to Washington has to be protected at all costs. In 1992 top Pentagon official Undersecretary Paul Wolfowitz penned the Wolfowitz Doctrine, which became the basis for Washington’s foreign policy.

The Wolfowitz Doctrine states that the “first objective” of American foreign and military policy is “to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat [to US unilateral action] on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.” (A “hostile power” is a country sufficiently strong to have a foreign policy independent from Washington’s.)

The unilateral assertion of American power began in ernest during the Clinton regime with the interventions in Yugoslavia, Serbia, Kosovo, and the no-fly zone imposed on Iraq. In 1997 the neoconservatives penned their “Project for a New American Century.” In 1998, three years prior to 9/11, the neoconservatives sent a letter to President Clinton calling for regime change in Iraq and “the removal of Saddam Hussein from power.” Neoconservatives set out their program for removing seven governments in five years

The events of September 11, 2001, are regarded by informed people as “the new Pearl harbor” that the neoconservatives said was necessary in order to begin their wars of conquest in the Middle East. Paul O’Neil, President George W. Bush’s first Treasury Secretary, has stated pubicly that the agenda of President Bush’s first meeting with his cabinet was the invasion of Iraq. This invasion was planned prior to 9/11.

Since 9/11 Washington has destroyed in whole or part eight countries and now confronts Russia both in Syria and Ukraine.

Russia cannot allow a jihadist Caliphate to be established in an area comprising Syria/Iraq, because it would be a base for exporting destabilization into Muslim parts of the Russian Federation. Henry Kissinger himself has stated this fact, and it is clear enough to any person with a brain. However, the power-crazed fanatical neoconservatives, who have controlled the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes, are so absorbed in their own hubris and arrogance that they are prepared to push Russia to the point of having their Turkish puppet shoot down a Russian airplane and to overthrow the democratically-elected government in Ukraine that was on good terms with Russia, substituting in its place an American puppet government.

With this background, we can understand that the dangerous situation facing the world is the product of the neoconservative’s arrogant policy of US world hegemony. The failures of judgment and the dangers in the Syrian and Ukrainian conflicts are themselves the consequences of the neoconservative ideology.

To perpetuate American hegemony, the neoconservatives threw away the guarantees that Washington gave Gorbachev that NATO would not move one inch to the East. The neoconservatives pulled the US out of the ABM Treaty, which specified that neither the US nor Russia would develop and deploy anti-ballistic missiles. The neoconservatives re-wrote US war doctrine and elevated nuclear weapons from their role as a retaliatory force to a pre-emptive first strike force. The neoconservatives began putting ABM bases on Russia’s borders, claiming that the bases were for the purpose of protecting Europe from non-existent Iranian nuclear ICBMs.

Russia and Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, have been demonized by neoconservatives and their puppets in the US government and media. For example, Hillary Clinton, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, declared Putin to be “the new Hitler.” A former CIA official called for Putin’s assassination. Presidential candidates in both parties are competing in terms of who can be the most aggressive toward Russia and the most insulting toward Russia’s president.

The effect has been to destroy the trust between nuclear powers. The Russian government has learned that Washington does not respect Washington’s own laws, much less international law, and that Washington cannot be trusted to keep any agreement. This lack of trust, together with the aggression toward Russia spewing from Washington and the presstitute media and echoing in the idiotic European capitals, has established the ground for nuclear war. As NATO (essentially the US) has no prospect of defeating Russia in conventional war, much less defeating an alliance of Russia and China, war will be nuclear.

To avoid war, Putin is non-provocative and low-key in his responses to Western provocations. Putin’s responsible behavior, however, is misinterpreted by neoconervatives as a sign of weakness and fear. The neoconservatives tell President Obama to keep the pressure on Russia, and Russia will give in. However, Putin has made it clear that Russia will not give in. Putin has sent this message on many occasions. For example, on September 28, 2015, at the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, Putin said that Russia can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world. Two days later Putin took command of the war against ISIS in Syria.

The European governments, especially Germany and the UK, are complicit in the move toward nuclear war. These two American vassal states enable Washington’s reckless aggression toward Russia by repeating Washington’s propaganda and supporting Washington’s sanctions and interventions against other countries. As long as Europe remains nothing but an extension of Washington, the prospect of Armegeddon will continue to rise.

At this point in time, nuclear war can only be avoided in two ways. One way is for Russia and China to surrender and accept Washington’s hegemony. The other way is for an independent leader in Germany, the UK, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO. That would begin a stampede to leave NATO, which is Washington’s prime tool for causing conflict with Russia and, thereby, is the most dangerous force on earth to every European country and to the entire world. If NATO continues to exist, NATO together with the neoconservative ideology of American hegemony will make nuclear war inevitable.

It's a bitter irony when Russia, with its state-controlled media and decade shorter life expectancy is somehow extolled as superior to America.

Instead, what we have assembled here are a bunch of disgruntled malcontents, jealous over America's success and always eager to lend a discouraging word, predict and plot her demise, etc.

Traitors, essentially.

People.  Any day we wish, we can end the government of the US of A.

Trivially.  All some credible organization has to do is announce it, and it will happen because it is easy and people are waiting to GO.

We all now understand who knows what.  The major danger now is our rulers getting us to fight with each other.  Avoid that, and we are home free.

If I were assigned the task of doing that, I would go after airports and communications.  Those are easy.  Trains next.  If I was doing real damage, electrial distribution is extremely vulnerable.  At somewhat more risk and effort, all of the buildings occupied by the Federal gov in small towns and rural areas.

They don't have a chance, it just takes people agreeing 'NOW'.  When you have a bunch of people shouting 'NOW', it will happen, plenty of people have understood Step 1 after that.  Their own Step 1s, we need not fear collisions or duplciations.

Sabotage is the tool for this job, not guns.

Of all the wars that could possibly be won, this is the least probable.  Nuclear + economic problems and end of an era in technology and economics and opening of a new multi-cultural world with a new high in civilization.

Bad time to think about winning wars, opportunity costs will be especially high.

Forget war.  We need all of humanity's genes to get through this rough patch and come out the other side with the next improvements in brains and mind and culture.  That should be humanity's goal.

Stop the negative-sum games.  You don't build civilization with negative-sum games, you tear it down.

While I don't agree with the dude above, I personally have doubts about PCR based on his continued use of terms like 'unipolar'; 'multipolar'; 'multilateral' etc. That seems like globalist speak to me.

Everything he says is true. So is what Putin is saying these days. But are they being given scripts to follow? I'm sorry, but there is just too much repeating history involved with what is going on today (with regard to the history of the world's reserve currencies) to not bring this stuff up. Plus, knowing what I know of the history of the 'hidden hand', and seeing that picture of PCR posing in front of a revolutionary war dude hiding his hand in his jacket, it makes me suspicious.

He seems to me to be doing his best to point out the fallacies of the west, and he obviously doesn't need to dig hard to find them. What bothers me is his unfailing support of the BRICS - and his past history working with the FED, certainly KNOWING what they were at the time. He often writes around the history of the FED's beginnings, and their influence in both WWI and WWII as revealed by Quigley, Sutton, Allen and Abraham.

So I openly wonder: is PCR a manservant of the coming globalist takeover, in the guise of the BRICS nations? Forgive me for asking, because knowing the answer may merely make a difference between welcoming slavery, and fighting it off.

None of us grunts knows who is, ultimately, playing on which team.  Maybe, one day, we'll see face to face, as it were.

In the meantime, I consider PCR to be a straight shooter, unless there is some very clear evidence to the contrary.  Most of us grow in our awareness over time, and I believe PCR is no exception to that; after all, I myself was once a Republican....

Notice how the M.I.C. and their puppets thump their chest about Russia - who was never really an enemy - while they ignore China whom they sold out the U.S. to completely

The lie might give some old dogs a comfortable place by the fire until they drift off to the great beyond - but it is utter insanity to meddle in the Middle East and play this ridiculous game.

In an odd way Russia and China are more the friends of the American citizen than our own government!

If the tyrants in Washington really get into a tight spot, does anyone doubt what they would decide between losing power and starting a world war?

The catalyst for the US starting a world war is either high profile US military defeat in the Middle East (US aircraft carrier sinking due to a missile strike).  That's when the Wahabis realize the US CANT reliably have their back militarily.  OR the Wahabis decide they can best rescue their currency/economy if they, with the helf of another major country, redenominate the oil settlement currency.

As much as I respect PCR, I like your option better. It's not that hard! There can't more than a couple of thousand key people, starting with the Bush & Obama Administrations, the permanent government in civil service and think tanks (Victoria Nuland and her gang) and their lackeys in intelligence. Hoover them up, put them in prison and keep them alive in the exact same conditions they espoused on their victims for as long as possible to learn all of their crimes.

The 9/11 and associated criminals are a relatively small group.  The the group that has been complicit in Treason, who have covered up what they knew.  That is a BIG group and will take a long time to find and get confessions from, track down all the leads.

Cleaning up a society this deeply corrupt will not be easy or fast nor leave us better satisfied with our recent history than East Germany must have been after their episode of deep dishonesty in society and politics.

I agree with your statement 1000%, the American people must rise up!

The only way that would ever happen is if Kanye West and Kim Kardshian were to post on their twitter or instagram account that they both would be at _______ signing copies of their new declaration of independence. Millenials all across the US would flock to watch that signing. And sadly, they'd vote those two fucks in office if they ran. It's a popularity contest now, not an election FOR the people.

PCR, what do you really know about ..

The General Agreement on Cooperation (1990)

Please do tell us all. You would earn some major brownie points in my book, if you could come out of the closet on this one ..

Do tell us about the $10 billion given to Gorbachev. The $50 billion given to the USSR ..

The $150 BILLION entrusted to Lee Wanta ..

That's $150,000,000,000 .. (do count those zeros)

You were the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Would not you know of these things? What, you didn't have clearance? Nor David Stockman?

Good to hear from you. I agree with you about  Lee.   We have not been silent.   Have tried to get this story out  and have had very little  support from mainstream media yet. We released the copyrighted  authorized biography  on Amazon, IBook and Barnes and Noble this summer and are in the process of promoting it.  ( See attached news release)  Lee has been less  available because of the Intel work he is engaged in,  but we are ready  again to really get his name out  in a major way.

Best Regards

How many of you nincompoops are plotting an attack on America in 2016?  

Maybe publish your manifesto right here before the 'days of rage', huh?  You can get all that seething and bile out right here on these virtual pages - typos and all.  And don't let your penchant for subpar syntax, circular arguments and uppercase virtual screams dissuade you.  Just have at 'er and express yourself as best you can.

Worry not. 

If the Russians ultimately decide that they have "no choice but to hit first", and take the USA out with a nuclear first strike, this will likely be for the best, considering the only alternative remaining to the little people of the earth:  perpetual Anglo-Zionist Imperium.

 IMHO, there is great merit in PCR's opinions.

The instability and chaos stirred up in Ukraine by the Washington neo-cons was intended to deliver Ukraine into the NATO/Anti-Russian/Western corporate-banker exploitation camp and to expel Russia from its Crimea naval base.  Ukraine's economy and political stability (such as they were) have been destroyed, with the Western Ukrainians and the Kiev government used as proxies in a war against Russia which poses as a civil war between Kiev and the Eastern Ukraine Donetsk and Lugansk separatists.  Russia refuses to permit Kiev to win their civil war, as that would see NATO move right up to the Ukraine/Russia border with missile and anti-missile systems.  The EU is now caught up in a campaign of sanctions against Russia, which ironically is their most secure supplier of oil, natural gas, and nuclear fuel, and was the EU's fastest growing trading partner up until the Kiev coup of February 2014.

The neo-con Ukraine adventure has succeeded, however, in driving a wedge between Russia and the EU.  When Putin came to power in Russia, he continued the move of Russia into the Western financial and WTO/GATT trade sphere, apparently thinking that Russia would be allowed into the Western camp as a trade, political, and social partner.  Initially, Russia was accepted, but when it became useful to demonize Russia again, moves were made to exclude Russia and to neutralize her potential to be a rival to the hegemony to US power to roam the World and take whatever actions the US saw fit.  Up until the invasion of Libya and the overthrow of Gaddafi, Russia was going along with the US (Russia agreed at the UN to a no-fly zone over Libya).  But when the no-fly zone was turned into an outright overthrow of Gaddafi, Putin took that as a signal that it had to stand up to the US or be steamrollered as well.  Putin's recent speech at the UN, followed by intervention in Syria to stop the overthrow of Assad and to curtail the use of ISIS to overthrow anti-Saudi/Sunni nations in the Middle East and then to initiate uprisings in the Muslim nations on Russia's southern border, gave notice that Russia will not play along with the US/EU/NATO camp and will not stand by while the Saudi/Turkey/Qatar/Sunni/US/CIA camp tries to subdue Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Shiites, and Afghanistan.  

Accustomed to having no opposition to their agenda of World domination and exploitation of the World's resources to sustain the US economy, the neocons are naturally denouncing Russia as an apostate, and are upping their brinkmanship against Russia in Eastern Europe, using the Useful Idiots in Poland and its neighbors, the Balkans, Turkey, Western Ukraine, and Brussels as their agents to move more and more military assets to Russia's western borders and shake sabers in front of the Russians, while trying to decimate Russia's economy through sanctions and economic warfare. 

There is a bigger game afoot, however.  The Petrodollar Agreement (PA), which saw all oil trade made in US Dollars, has sustained the US Dollar as the World Reserve Currency (WRC) since 1971 when it was taken off the Gold standard.  The status of the USD as WRC and its overwhelming majority use in international trade has enabled the US Federal Reserve to "print" (create out of thin air) overwhelming amounts of fiat USDs, far beyond the ability of the US economy to justify those USDs.  Nations moving their international trade out of the USD are an increasing threat to the PA and the status of the USD as WRC.  It is no coincidence that Gaddafi was overthrown after he pushed for oil trade in Gold-backed Dinars, or that Saddam Hussein of Iraq was overthrown after he started to sell oil for Euros.  

There are 2 great threats to the status of the US as the World's hegemonic leader: 1. The progressing Eurasian bloc (BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, etc.) which is forming its own military and trade links based upon their own currencies; and 2. the increasing weakness of the US economy, from which manufacturing and other true wealth-generating activities have fled to lower-cost countries.

From the 1950s onward, the US military and CIA ensured the access of US corporations to the wealth and resources of countries outside of the USSR and its orbits.  The fall of the USSR expanded the US orbit.  But the rise of China and other 3rd-world countries, and the rebirth of Russia, along with the alliance of these into a new trade bloc, signal the end of the US economic and financial hegemony.  The recent moves of the US are natural responses of a dying empire - the use of military threats to try to recover dominance.  History is replete with examples.  The key questions are: How long can the US maintain its military powers as its economy crumbles, and how effective can those military powers be to maintain US economic hegemony as the USD loses its dominance in World trade and financial matters. 

As to Europe, which runs the risk of being a major theater of war between the US/EUrope camp and the Russia/China/BRICS/SCO camp, there appears to be a woeful absence of statesmanship among the leaders of the EU and the EU countries - each seems consumed with his or her petty concerns and with attempts to gain power in turf wars, rather than look to the greater benefit and security of the EU and its members.  Many remain captive of the Atlanticist delusion - the idea that the road to lasting peace among the squabbling EU nations and the ultimate destiny of the EU is to remain under the leadership of the great Arsenal of Democracy - the USA - rather than adopting a more independent economic and foreign policy.  The European Commission in Brussels maintains the delusion that it is entitled and destined to do God's work by taking control of all European affairs and eliminating independence among EU nations, thus ensuring conformity and peace amongst all the EU nations.  This is being sorely tested by the wobbly underpinnings of the Euro and the influx of Muslim migrants from the Middle East and North Africa.   Meanwhile, ironically, the US-led NATO heads in Brussels do their very best to stir up World War 3 with Russia.

I have no clue how the position of Merkollande is. They look quite pro-Nato but on the other hand their acting is puzzling, as if there's a hidden agenda; as if 'le grande nation' thinks it could rule above everything in the aftermath, together with the germs - and have all the Russian ressources anyway, reviving their old dream from the past.

With all due respect to Dr. Roberts, I beg to differ with him on the World War III. There will not be a World War III. Even if the US/NATO engages Russia in a war, it will be a war of annihilation of US/NATO and possibly Russia, but the rest of the world will not be involved. Russia will not engage in a conventional war with US/NATO. The very first counter-strike by Russia against US/NATO will be nuclear and of a devastating scale, enough, in the opinion of Russia, to make those Americans/NATO citizens left alive after the first Russian counter-strike to be so shocked as to not even consider a retaliation and announce a surrender immediately. If Russia miscalculates the effect and the US/NATO retaliates with a counterstrike, conventional or nuclear, the second strike by Russia will annihilate the remaining US/NATO. It will be war where US/NATO are defeated into submission by annihilating huge parts of them and Russia emerges the victor or both US/NATO and Russia are completely annihilated.

Clearly you've either never heard of the MAD nuclear policy, or are unfamiliar with said policy and the real-world reasons for it.

Hint:  Mutual Assured Destruction has that name for good reason -- there will be no 'victors'.  Only losers.  It is indeed the "Global Sampson Option", i.e. "If I go down, so do you."

The genuinely scary part is that the Ziocons genuinely believe that if they keep doubling down (upping the Ante of the bet) and show that they are 'insane', that the Russians will have enough 'sanity' left and capitulate instead.  It's a helluva bet, but a bet nonetheless.

You clearly do not understand the implications of a full (or even part) nuclear exchange between two super powers.  The resulting economic damage to world trade, the manufacturing economy and the economy in general will be devastating to ALL countries.  Like it or not we are all married to the global economic network, and should that network fail (as in the case of two super powers),  we all go down with it as we, NONE of us, are prepared for a life without globalisation at this point - in other words, it is back to the Stone Age for the survivors.  Are you ready for that?  I think not.

 

Secondly, the atmosphere across the globe would be poisoned for many years to come, blanketing much of the productive earth under a blanket of nuclear waste materials blocking the sun, destroying crops and animals, and raining down radioactive fallout wherever the prevailing winds carry it.

 

Lastly, the US and Russia have hundreds of nuclear power plants between them.  If these countries are destroyed, their broken and unattended nuclear plants will go Fukushima and the entire world will be faced with a disaster that it can not possibly recover from and which will last for thousands, if not millions, of years as those nuclear fires burn without restraint.

 

Do not even entertain the very thought of nuclear war between ANYONE.  It will most certainly result in the End of Life As We Know It.

Question: Why is there little to no involvement from the West in the FUKUSHIMA disaster?

 

Answer:Is it to soften up the peoples opinions on using nuclear weapons......

At this point in time, nuclear war can only be avoided in two ways. One way is for Russia and China to surrender and accept Washington’s hegemony. The other way is for an independent leader in Germany, the UK, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO. 

I would argue none of the reasons above. It's simply a Mexican standoff.

Great Article

But there are hidden forces too :

Cabals

Its them who guide the US aggresive policy

Its them who will lead USA to destruction , total annihilation, its coming true :

Remember the revelation ,

The beast (caballah) which was dead , became alive (Israel)

The prostitute (USA) riding the beast (caballah)

prostitute leading the world into sin (porn, homosexuality, violence)

In the end the beast goes to war and it also tears down the prostitute

------------------

In past there were great thinkers in USA with great principles

but in modern times greedy cabals gave hijacked US govt, CIA, FBI, banks , corporations, also Hollywood everything

including the formulation of US policy

which today stands as : war is a profit making machine

Its animalistic emotion : greed 

that has become predominant among the US policy makers (i.e. cabals like Wolfowitz)

the entire world is now doomed

A geopolitical shift in NATO started months ago in September, 2015 when German Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen told Der Spiegel that she welcomed President Putin’s intentions of joining the fight against the extremist organization “Islamic State”, and said it "would be a matter of mutual interests." That was a clear signal no EU country would join Washinton in strongly bashing Russia's move into Syria. Certainly there have been contradictory statements made, but it is just diplomatic 'Doublespeak'. 

http://www.globalresearch.ca/germany-moves-away-from-the-us-anti-putin-alliance-and-joins-forces-with-russia-in-coalition-to-defeat-isis/5476793

I differ from PCR, there is not going to be some "independent leader in Germany, the UK, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO."  That would be folly on the part of the EU because they do not have any great military power to counter the Russian military, so they need Washington, for now. Washington’s prime tool for causing conflict with Russia is Turkey and thereby, Erdogan is the most dangerous man on earth to every European country and to the entire world. I seriously doubt he will live long enought to rule as Sultan over a global Islamic Caliphate.
