| Any US attempt to encircle Russia is destined to fail: James Fetzer |
| 2014-04-21 |
[Iran Press TV] An American political commentator says any attempt to encircle the Russian Federation by the US is destined to fail and that future belongs to Russia, China and Iran, not to the West. James H. Fetzer, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota Duluth, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Sunday. He was commenting on a recent New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... report which says that US President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... and his national security team are looking beyond the crisis in Ukraine to adopt an updated version of the Cold War strategy of containment against Russia. "The latest report of Obama adopting the strategy to encircle Russia is simply one more manifestation of the incompetence of American foreign policy in this day and age," Fetzer said. "We have the approach towards Iran in based upon the false assumption that Iran is keen to develop nuclear weapons, which our own intelligence agencies refuted in 2007 and reaffirmed it in 2011. We have an approach towards Syria that's predicated on the assumption that the Assad government launched the sarin gas attacks when in fact there's overwhelming evidence that it was in fact done by the rebels and not by Assad," he added. "And that we have an attitude and an approach towards Ukraine that involves encircling Russia, but in fact the unrest in Ukraine was the result of Western powers putting five billion dollars into the country some by George Soros," Fetzer noted. "And now we have a new article from Strategic Culture that the West is about to perpetrate false flag attacks in Ukraine in order to justify the intervention by the Pentagon," he said. "In my opinion any attempt to encircle Russia is destined to failure. The future appears to be one in which Russia, China and Iran together emerge as a mighty power in the world, and where the US efforts to staunch the flow of history are misconceived...and will not make a significant difference to the way events are going to play out," Fetzer emphasized. |

| #7 "Russia, China, + Iran together memerge as a mighty power". Uh, no, IMO once the Hard Boyz have effective access to Nuke-WMD techs they will attempt to attack + destabilize Russia + China. The greatest threat to Putin ala the Ukraine-Crimea Crisis is NOT the US-NATO/EU response but the LT threat from NUCLEAR ISLAM. Again, the Globies desire for Great Powers, espec the remaining "Sole" Superpower USA to unilaterally give up power-n-authority, etc. to New or Resurgent Powers = "Co-Superpowers", so that the former can rise to parity - THE GLOBIES, HOWEVER, HAVE NOT DESCRIBED HOW MUCH IS TO BE [safely] GIVEN UP SUCH THAT STATE OR GREAT-POWER-SPECIFIC NUCLEAR OR GEOPOL SECURITY + EXISTENTIALISM IS NOT THREATENED BY SAME ANDOR THIRD-PARTY WANNABES. The Globies want the US to SSSSHHHH ... CCCCCC be the proverbial TIP-OF-THE-SPEAR in setting up OWG-NWO = SPACE GOVT-ORDER, but in the end for the USA to N-O-T dominate or control saidsame OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order. * E.G. DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IS UKRAINE CRISIS THE END OF UNIPOLAR WORLD ORDER? versus * TOPIX > [VDARE] NATIONALISM, NOT NATO, IS OUR GREAT [+ only REAL?] ALLY. No more such thingys as GOP-VS-DEM, Republican-vs-Democrat, or even Fascist [rIGHTIST]-vs-Communist[Leftist], but now only NATIONALIST-VS-GLOBALIST??? REGIONALIST-VS-TRANS/MULTI-REGIONALIST? CONTINETALIST-VS-TRANS/MULTI-CONTINENTALIST? EARTHER-VS-SPACE-COLONY/COLONIALIST??? |

| #6 The Base in Korea? Because they tried to take over the place, and the half they did take over is a hell on earth? The base in Japan: supports the base in Korea... Eastern Europe... you mean that place which wasn't allowed free and fair elections for forty years, courtesy of Soviet troops? |

| #3 Judging from the graphic Besoeker posted last week it looks like we've already got 'em surrounded. We have bases in Japan, Korea, Turkey, Eastern Europe, all over the ME. Where are they gonna go? China? The Artic Ocean? And what are they gonna do when we smack Iran? My guess is absolutely nothing. |

| #1 "James H. Fetzer, PhD, UM-Duluth" (Duluth, pronounced with an emphasis on the DUH). Bona fide kook. Since the 1990s, attaining wider publicity, he has claimed that the 1963 Kennedy assassination, the 2002 death of Senator Paul Wellstone, and the 9/11 attacks resulted through government conspiracies. Having cofounded Scholars for 9/11 Truth in 2005, Fetzer has accused the G W Bush administration, Israeli government, and Obama administration of involvement in these and other conspiracies |
