Russia can never surrender its nukes
Russia can never surrender its nukes
By Stanislav Mishin
This past week, following the G20 conference and with a North Korean missile
launch as a back ground, the American president Obama made an impassioned plea
for the world to be free of nuclear weapons. In his words, America must lead
the way: "As a nuclear power - as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear
weapon - the United States has a moral responsibility to act". He planned on
doing this through a series of measures such as the Comprehensive Test Ban
Treaty and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. He also proposed gathering up
all vulnerable nuclear material, "loose nukes", within four years.
Now the soft hearted and possibly soft brained in the Duma and in Russian
political bodies may see this as a great movement and goal and will no doubt
state as much and even seek funding from the US and NATO to help them make this
a reality in Russia, itself. To this, I must say stop!
While the idea of a nuclear free world may seem great and sweat and adorable,
it is not quite what it seems. To tell the truth, as it stands, Russian nuclear
weapons are the only thing that is keeping the country from at best a Western
sponsored civil war and at worst, another Patriotic War, this time against the
whole of Europe and America.
Though the Anglo-Marxist sphere is dieing, it is a slow death and one that will
still have many violent convulsions. As long as American arms are in Europe and
Korea and Japan and Georgia, right outside of Russia's borders and are backed
up by NATO as a whole, both militarily and economically, we must look
rationally and realistically and historically upon what the Americans are
proposing.
This, move to disarmament, is nothing new for the Americans. It is not,
however, a humanitarian move but a devious ploy that they have used many times
on enemies to destroy them. Early on, in America's short history, when the
Americans could not conquer one Indian nation or set of tribes or states or
another, they would call them to negotiate and would work to find a treaty of
friendship and disarmament. In the mean time, not unlike the Islamics and their
Hutnas, they would take this time to quickly move soldiers and build forts in
the area. They often used plagues by giving other near by tribes infected
blankets and other such niceties, to eventually reduce their enemy's strength
and then instantly forgot their treaties and attacked. DC signed over 200
treaties with the various nations and tribes of North American Indians and they
broke every single one.
After World War One, the US came to rival its former allies for dominance of
the world, while pouring hundreds of millions to Lenin and his cronies to keep
the Russian civil war going and while Germany shuddered under repayment. Thus
the American's biggest rivals in the world were the British, French and
Japanese and in comparison to their navies and thus projections of power, the
Americans were second rate. Thus came the American crusade to fix that problem.
The goal was sweet enough in concept. The Americans appealed to the three
former allies to disarm their navies, along with the Americans, limiting the
scope and size of ships and armaments. Officially, this was done to help
relieve tensions in Asia between the British and the Japanese, helping them to
disarm. Thus by 1921, these powers were seated in Washington and without truly
thinking things through, were agreeing to loose their empires and all the
Americans to take everything. But Japan and Britain were not the only fools:
France, Italy, Belgium, China, Netherlands and Portugal were also signatories.
The Five-Power treaty called for each of the countries involved to maintain a
set ratio of warship tonnage which allowed the United States and Britain
500,000 tons, Japan 300,000 tons and France and Italy each 175,000 tons.
Several things came out of this: one, the tonnage was measured so that the
British could no longer maintain the full strength needed to control their
empire. Furthermore, by this point, England was no longer the dominant
industrial power and with both Germany and Russia out of the question and the
Austro-Hungarians split into a dozen smaller states, America had the biggest
industrial capacity.
Thus in one fell move, for a warm hearted and soft brained idea, the Americans
were in a position where they could easily catch and strangle the empires of
their competitors and take it all for themselves, as they were no longer having
to play catch up to the British fleets, while being on parity with that of the
Japanese and French and Belgians. They were now parallel with England and able
to scale up much faster then anyone else.
Furthermore, this agreement called on signatories to stop building capital
ships and reduce the size of their navies by scrapping older ships. Those older
ships and capital ships were the very power center of the British navy and here
it was negotiated away.
Nothing has changed and the Americans are still at their old game, knowing full
well that the soft brained emotionalists in the world, who want peace at any
cost, will always buy into their schemes, rather then make the hard sacrifices
needed for national defense and thus freedom. Remember this: in it's short
history from 1776, the Americans have invaded, annexed or just attacked well
over 40 nations (to include the various recognize American Indian nations) and
with this number is even greater if one considers the number of revolutions and
civil wars they have personally sponsored.
