In what NATO Secretary-General Jens
Stoltenberg called the “biggest overhaul of our collective deterrence and
defense since the Cold War,” the U.S.-led NATO alliance has announced plans to
build a massive standing land army in Europe, numbering in the hundreds of
thousands.
Stoltenberg
said NATO would increase its “high readiness forces” sevenfold, from 40,000 to
300,000, deploying tens of thousands of additional troops, as well as countless
tanks and aircraft, directly to Russia’s border.
The move
will entail a massive diversion of social resources to NATO’s ongoing war with
Russia and planned war with China, draining treasuries throughout Europe and
North America and fueling demands for the elimination of social services, the
slashing of wages, and the gutting of workers’ pensions. Stoltenberg said the creation of this massive
fighting force was a response to the “new era of strategic competition” with
Russia and China. In what NATO

No, NATO Will
Not Get Ready For War
By Moon of Alabama. Popular Resistance.org (7-3-22). NATO does not have 300,000 troops to put on
high alert. The troops are controlled by member states and I see no willingness
by any of them to shoulder the costs that a real high alert status would have.
Units on high alert means that they fully manned with no one on vacation and
with enough supplies ready to sustain weeks of battle. All of that costs money.
Member states will instead designate existing units as 'high alert' ones and
change nothing else in their usual equipment and training. The statement is
pure NATO public relations fluff. -more-

NATO is the
US dominated global war machine whose policy is ‘Full Spectrum Dominance.’
Contrary to its claims, NATO is not a defensive organization but an instrument
for US world domination to prevent all challenges to its hegemony. It should have been disbanded in 1991
after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact but instead expanded into fifteen new
countries.

"NATO—the U.S.-dominated global war

“If there was a pivotal moment in the
deterioration of relations with Russia, it was probably Clinton’s cheerleading for NATO expansion into former Soviet bloc
countries like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, which formally occurred
in 1999. But the seeds had been planted much earlier,
as Clinton had stressed to Polish President Lech Walesa on a visit to Warsaw in
19 94, that he strongly supported
bringing Poland into the alliance. But
throughout the lengthy process, Clinton continually demonstrated a tin ear
about Russia’s concerns for its
security and prestige. . . .there was never a point when the Clinton
administration seriously addressed the
legitimacy of some of the Russian president’s concerns about thrusting
NATO eastward. In a 1997 article, George Kennan, the nonagenarian
architect of containment during the Cold War, bitterly called NATO expansion
“’the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era.’”

Leaders of
the member countries of the imperialist NATO military alliance concluded their
annual summit in Madrid today. This
summit was a clear display of NATO’s commitment to continuously fuel the fire
of international conflict as the major capitalist powers drag the world back
into a Cold War-style period of global confrontation.
In
preparation for the summit, NATO members prepared a new “Strategic Concept”
document that described the alliance’s key goals moving forward. The Strategic
Concept’s principal target is Russia, which it labels “the most significant and
direct threat” to NATO. Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg promised even more
support for Ukraine’s military in its war with Russia. But the Strategic Concept also included a new
and highly notable addition to NATO’s official enemies list: China. MORE https://mronline.org/2022/07/06/nato-officially-adds-china-to-its-list-of-enemies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nato-officially-adds-china-to-its-list-of-enemies&mc_cid=4e37f00244&mc_eid=ab2f7bf95e

Anxiety about the expansion of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) toward the Russian border is one of the causes of
the current war in Ukraine. But this is not the only attempt at expansion by NATO, a treaty
organization created in 1949 by the United States to project its military and
political power over Europe. In 2001, NATO conducted an “out of area” military
operation in Afghanistan, which lasted 20 years, and in 2011, NATO—at the urging of France—bombed Libya and overthrew its government. NATO
military operations in Afghanistan and Libya were the prelude to discussions of a “Global NATO,” a
project to use the NATO military alliance beyond its own charter obligations
from the South China Sea to the Caribbean Sea.

The
governments of the United States, the United Kingdom and other NATO members are
preparing a major new stage of the U.S.-NATO war against Russia by using their
warships to break the Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports, creating the
conditions for a direct shooting war between NATO and Russian naval forces. This massive escalation by the U.S. and NATO
is being billed as a “coalition of the willing,” echoing the words used by the
Bush administration to describe the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Retired four-star General Jack Keane,
chairman of the Institute for the Study of War and chairman of AM General, the
maker of the Humvee military vehicle, called on Wednesday for the creation of
an “international coalition of warships led by the United States” to secure

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told a press conference
days after the Nord Stream pipelines were blown up that an important factor of
Russia’s power had been taken away from President Vladimir Putin’s hand, famed
U.S. investigative journalist and Pulitzer award winner Seymour Hersh
told German newspaper Berliner Zeitung in an interview published on Tuesday.
Hersh
recalled how Blinken said destroying the pipelines was a tremendous opportunity
to deprive Russia of its ability to use its pipelines as a weapon, and it would
no longer be able to use the pipelines to pressure Western Europe to end U.S.
support of Ukraine in the war.
Additionally,
Victoria Nuland, the U.S. Under
Secretary of State for Political Affairs, said that “the [US]
administration is very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2” would no longer be
operational.
The reason
for this decision, Hersh told the German daily, was that the war was not going
well for the West, and the U.S. was scared that the cold winter would push
Germany into lifting the sanctions imposed on the Nord Stream 2 natural gas
pipeline, which was put on hold by Berlin in the wake of the Ukraine war. MORE click on title

Sobukwe participated in a Canadian Foreign Policy Institute panel, “NATO and Global Empire ” on June 30, 2022. These are his
remarks on NATO and Africa.
Greetings
everyone. . .
It is timely not only because NATO is
concluding its meeting in Madrid as we speak, but also AFRICOM as one of
the many arms of NATO is conducting its yearly military exercises called
“African Lion” on the African continent at this time.
Many people on this webinar probably know the background of NATO so I won’t
repeat the history. Since I wrote my
article in Black Agenda Report back
in February entitled, “NATO and AFRICA: A
relationship of colonial violence and structural white supremacy,”
two more European countries have applied for NATO membership, Sweden and
Finland and as I understand they will be accepted. This will increase their
membership from the founding twelve in 1949 to now 32.
Today, NATO has become a
huge global axle in the wheel of the military industrial complex which includes
more than 800 U.S. military bases around the world and bases or relationships
with almost all African countries, all controlled by the U.S. empire for the
purpose of full spectrum dominance , driven by the ferocious appetites of corporate capital.

Koenig, Global Research, UNAC. “Nordic NATO Expansion – Or NATO

Finland shares a 1,340 km border with Russia. Thus, as a NATO
country, it would become another real threat for Moscow. Also, during WWII,
Finland allied with Nazi Germany fighting the Soviet Union, when the USSR lost
some 27 million people, soldiers and civilians. Finland does not have a clean
record vis-à-vis Russia.
On the other hand, Sweden shares no border with Russia and has
not been at war with Russia in the last 300 years. Sweden like Finland, has not
been threatened at all by Russia. So, Sweden teaming up with Finland against
Russia – there is something quite weird going on. A country does not overnight
seek or make an enemy, when there was absolutely not a minimum threat from the
“assumed” enemy.
What’s going on?
Given the circumstances of these two “neutral” countries suddenly
changing from “neutral”
to “aggressive”
against Russia, must have other reasons than Russia attacking Ukraine. Both of
these countries know exactly the background for the Russian war on Ukraine.
While war should under all circumstances be avoided, and
replaced by negotiations, one cannot ignore Russia’s worries – preoccupations
enhanced by the fact that many proposals for negotiations advanced by Russia
before the war were rejected by Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy.
Likewise, after the beginning of the armed conflict, proposal
for Peace Talks, notably by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, were, though first
accepted, then rejected, which made Mr. Lavrov assume that Mr. Zelenskyy is not
his sovereign own man, but follows instructions. See his interview with Al
Arabia media below.
Could it be, or is it highly probable that both Finland and
Sweden were coerced by Washington, and likely by Europe / NATO to decide and
ask for immediate NATO membership? Sweden, because of the North Sea, where
Russia has a dominant presence?

Al Mayadeen is an Arab

reported that the secretary general of NATO embarked upon his trip to South
Korea and Japan. The high-ranking
chief of the military organization which turned Ukraine into a theatre of
proxy war is flying into the Asia-Pacific region of the eastern hemisphere
across the sea and land, which is not even part of its operational sphere.
This fact itself gives rise to concern. It is
well known that NATO has long made persistent attempts to expand its sphere
of influence, limited to European defense, to the Asia-Pacific region, which
rose to be the strategic center of the world. NATO
stages bilateral and multilateral joint military exercises under various
titles by introducing armed forces of its member states, including aircraft carriers
and fighters, under the pretext of opposing the so-called “change of status
quo by force”. It is also mulling extending its influence to the Asia-Pacific
region by expanding and strengthening cooperation with such exclusive
security allies as AUKUS, Quad and Five Eyes. In particular, NATO has
put unprecedented spurs to the strengthening of bilateral relations with
South Korea and Japan in recent years, regarding them as a key link in
realizing its ambition for hegemony. |

Sinjajevina Campaign.
NATO Troops Arrived Last Night on the Mountains We’re Trying to
Protect from Them. This is a campaign to
protect a beautiful inhabited mountain in Montenegro from being turned into a
military base.
The
people of Montenegro, led by the Save Sinjajevina campaign,
have done everything people can do to prevent atrocities in so-called
democracies. They’ve won over public opinion. They’ve elected officials
promising to protect their mountains. They’ve lobbied, organized public
protests, and made themselves into human shields. They show no signs of planning
to give up, much less to believe the UK’s official position that this mountain destruction is
environmentalism, while NATO has been threatening to use
Sinjajevina for war training in May 2023!
Last night, 250 NATO soldiers arrived in Sinjajevina! They claim that they will do
no artillery shooting, just alpinistic exercises. The Prime Minister of
Montenegro Dritan Abazovic had promised on television two weeks ago that there
would not be any military activities in Sinjajevina. He’s broken another promise. Six members of Save Sinjajevina are now in
place where they had a large resistance camp in 2020. Despite temperatures of
-10ºC they are organizing a nonviolent resistance effort yet again. The
place where the people are gathering is called Margita. They have celebrated the
anniversary of their resistance at that spot. They have engraved on a rock
there with golden letters a phrase of legend dedicating it to resistance.

Andrii Shapovalov, head of

the voices of the Russian-speaking Ukrainians who have been subjected to horrendous war crimes,
torture, detention and persecution for
eight years and ignored by the West. For this they are now to be designated
‘information terrorists’ – because they expose terrorism sanctioned by NATO
member states.

“Chomsky and Barsamian, In Ukraine, Diplomacy Has Been
Ruled Out” by Noam Chomsky interviewed
by David Barsamian.— 17/06/2022.
David Barsamian: Let’s head into the most
obvious nightmare of this moment, the war in Ukraine and its effects globally.
But first a little background. Let’s start with President George H.W. Bush’s assurance to then-Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move “one inch to the east” — and
that pledge has been verified. My question to you is, why didn’t Gorbachev get
that in writing?
[US/NATO agreement not to expand]
Noam Chomsky: He accepted a gentleman’s agreement, which is not that
uncommon in diplomacy. Shake-of-the-hand. Furthermore, having it on paper would
have made no difference whatsoever. Treaties that are on paper are torn up all
the time. What matters is good faith. And in fact, H.W. Bush, the first Bush, did honor the agreement
explicitly. He even moved toward instituting a partnership in peace, which
would accommodate the countries of Eurasia. NATO wouldn’t be disbanded but
would be marginalized. Countries like Tajikistan, for example, could join
without formally being part of NATO. And Gorbachev approved of that. It would
have been a step toward creating what he called a common European
home with no military alliances.
Clinton in his first couple of
years also adhered to it. What the specialists say is that by about 1994,
Clinton started to, as they put it, talk from both sides of his mouth. To the
Russians he was saying: Yes, we’re going to adhere to the agreement. To the
Polish community in the United States and other ethnic minorities, he was
saying: Don’t worry, we’ll incorporate you within NATO. By about 1996-97, Clinton said this pretty
explicitly to his friend Russian President Boris Yeltsin, whom he had helped
win the 1996 election. He told Yeltsin: Don’t push too hard on this NATO
business. We’re going to expand but I need it because of the ethnic vote in the
United States.
[Thumbnail sketch of NATO expansion;
Western provocation]
In 1997, Clinton invited the
so-called Visegrad countries —
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania — to join NATO. The Russians didn’t like it but
didn’t make much of a fuss. Then the Baltic nations joined, again the same
thing. In 2008, the second Bush, who
was quite different from the first, invited Georgia and Ukraine into NATO. Every U.S. diplomat understood very
well that Georgia and Ukraine were red
lines for Russia. They’ll tolerate the expansion elsewhere, but these are
in their geostrategic heartland and they’re not going to tolerate expansion
there. To continue with the story, the
Maidan uprising took place in 2014,
expelling the pro-Russian president and Ukraine moved toward the West.
From 2014, the U.S. and NATO began
to pour arms into Ukraine — advanced weapons,
military training, joint military exercises, moves to integrate Ukraine into
the NATO military command. There’s no secret about this. It was quite open.
Recently, the Secretary General of NATO,
Jens Stoltenberg, bragged about it. He said: This is what we were doing
since 2014. Well, of course, this is very consciously, highly provocative. They knew that they were encroaching on what
every Russian leader regarded as an intolerable move. France and Germany vetoed
it in 2008, but under U.S. pressure, it was kept on the agenda. And NATO,
meaning the United States, moved to accelerate the de facto integration of
Ukraine into the NATO military command.
In 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky was elected with an overwhelming
majority — I think about 70% of the vote — on a peace platform, a plan to
implement peace with Eastern Ukraine and Russia, to settle the problem. He
began to move forward on it and, in fact, tried to go to the Donbas, the
Russian-oriented eastern region, to implement what’s called the Minsk II agreement. It would have meant
a kind of federalization of Ukraine with a degree of autonomy for the Donbas,
which is what they wanted. Something like Switzerland or Belgium. He was
blocked by right-wing militias which threatened to murder him if he persisted
with his effort.
Well, he’s a courageous man. He could have gone forward if he
had had any backing from the United
States. The U.S. refused. No backing, nothing, which meant he was left to
hang out to dry and had to back off. The U.S. was intent on this policy of
integrating Ukraine step by step into the NATO military command. That
accelerated further when President Biden
was elected. In September 2021, you could read it on the White House
website. It wasn’t reported but, of course, the Russians knew it. Biden
announced a program, a joint statement to accelerate the process of military
training, military exercises, more weapons as part of what his administration
called an “enhanced program” of preparation for NATO membership.
It accelerated further in November. This was all before the
invasion. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
signed what was called a charter, which essentially formalized and extended
this arrangement. A spokesman for the State Department conceded that before the
invasion, the U.S. refused to discuss any Russian security concerns. All of
this is part of the background.
On February 24th, Putin
invaded, a criminal invasion. These serious provocations provide no
justification for it. If Putin had
been a statesman, what he would have done is something quite different. He
would have gone back to French President Emmanuel Macron, grasped his tentative
proposals, and moved to try to reach an accommodation with Europe, to take
steps toward a European common home.
The U.S., of course, has always been opposed to that. This goes
way back in Cold War history to French President De Gaulle’s initiatives to
establish an independent Europe. In his phrase “from the Atlantic to the
Urals,” integrating Russia with the
West, which was a very natural accommodation for trade reasons and, obviously,
security reasons as well. So, had there been any statesmen within Putin’s narrow circle, they would have
grasped Macron’s initiatives and experimented to see whether, in fact, they
could integrate with Europe and avert the crisis. Instead, what he chose was a
policy which, from the Russian point of view, was total imbecility. Apart from
the criminality of the invasion, he chose a policy that drove Europe deep into
the pocket of the United States. In fact, it is even inducing Sweden and
Finland to join NATO — the worst possible outcome from the Russian point of
view, quite apart from the criminality of the invasion, and the very serious
losses that Russia is suffering because of that.
]Summary]
So, criminality and stupidity on the Kremlin side, severe provocation on the
U.S. side. That’s the background that has led to this. Can we try to bring this
horror to an end? Or should we try to perpetuate it? Those are the choices.
[Ending the War: Diplomacy. US/Western choice: bigotry, war]
There’s only one way to bring it to
an end. That’s diplomacy. Now, diplomacy, by definition, means both sides
accept it. They don’t like it, but they accept it as the least bad option. It
would offer Putin some kind of escape hatch. That’s one possibility. The other
is just to drag it out and see how much everybody will suffer, how many
Ukrainians will die, how much Russia will suffer, how many millions of people
will starve to death in Asia and Africa, how much we’ll proceed toward heating
the environment to the point where there will be no possibility for a livable
human existence. Those are the options. Well, with near 100% unanimity, the United States and most of Europe want to
pick the no-diplomacy option. It’s explicit. We have to keep going to hurt
Russia.
You can read columns in the New York Times, the
London Financial Times, all over Europe. A common refrain is: we’ve
got to make sure that Russia suffers. It doesn’t matter what happens to Ukraine
or anyone else. Of course, this gamble assumes that if Putin is pushed to the
limit, with no escape, forced to admit defeat, he’ll accept that and not use
the weapons he has to devastate Ukraine.
There are a lot of things that Russia hasn’t done. Western
analysts are rather surprised by it. Namely, they’ve not attacked the supply
lines from Poland that are pouring weapons into Ukraine. They certainly could
do it. That would very soon bring them into direct confrontation with NATO,
meaning the U.S. Where it goes from there, you can guess. Anyone who’s ever
looked at war games knows where it’ll go — up the escalatory ladder toward
terminal nuclear war.
[Summary: US/West for war to weaken
Russia and risk holocaust.]
So, those are the games we’re playing with the lives of Ukrainians, Asians,
and Africans, the future of civilization, in order to weaken Russia, to make
sure that they suffer enough. Well, if you want to play that game, be honest
about it. There’s no moral basis for it. In fact, it’s morally horrendous. And
the people who are standing on a high horse about how we’re upholding principle
are moral imbeciles when you think about what’s involved.
[2nd
topic: Russian and US atrocities.]
Barsamian: In the media, and among the
political class in the United States, and probably in Europe, there’s much
moral outrage about Russian barbarity, war crimes, and atrocities. No doubt
they are occurring as they do in every war. Don’t you find that moral outrage a
bit selective though?
Chomsky: The moral outrage is quite in place.
There should be moral outrage. But you go to the Global South, they just can’t
believe what they’re seeing. They condemn the war, of course. It’s a deplorable
crime of aggression. Then they look at the West and say: What are you guys
talking about? This is what you do to us all the time.
It’s kind of astonishing to see the difference in commentary.
So, you read the New York Times and their big thinker, Thomas Friedman. He wrote a column a
couple of weeks ago in which he just threw up his hands in despair. He said:
What can we do? How can we live in a world that has a war criminal? We’ve never
experienced this since Hitler. There’s a war criminal in Russia. We’re at a
loss as to how to act. We’ve never imagined the idea that there could be a war
criminal anywhere.
When people in the Global South hear this, they don’t know
whether to crack up in laughter or ridicule. We have war criminals walking all
over Washington. Actually, we know how to deal with our war criminals. In fact,
it happened on the twentieth anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan.
Remember, this was an entirely unprovoked invasion, strongly opposed by world
opinion. There was an interview with the perpetrator, George W. Bush, who then went on to invade Iraq, a major war
criminal, in the style section of the Washington Post — an
interview with, as they described it, this lovable goofy grandpa who was
playing with his grandchildren, making jokes, showing off the portraits he
painted of famous people he’d met. Just a beautiful, friendly environment.
So, we know how to deal with war criminals. Thomas Friedman is
wrong. We deal with them very well.
Or take probably the major war criminal of the modern period, Henry Kissinger. We deal with him not
only politely, but with great admiration. This is the man after all who
transmitted the order to the Air Force, saying that there should be massive
bombing of Cambodia — “anything that flies on anything that moves” was his
phrase. I don’t know of a comparable example in the archival record of a call for mass genocide. And it was
implemented with very intensive bombing of Cambodia. We don’t know much about
it because we don’t investigate our own crimes. But Taylor Owen and Ben
Kiernan, serious historians of Cambodia, have described it. Then there’s our
role in overthrowing Salvador Allende’s government in Chile and instituting a
vicious dictatorship there, and on and on. So, we do know how to deal with our
war criminals.
Still, Thomas Friedman can’t imagine that there’s anything like
Ukraine. Nor was there any commentary on what he wrote, which means it was
regarded as quite reasonable. You can hardly use the word selectivity. It’s
beyond astonishing. So, yes, the moral outrage is perfectly in place. It’s good
that Americans are finally beginning to show some outrage about major war
crimes committed by someone else.
[3rd topic: Russian threat
and doublethink.]
Barsamian: I’ve got a little puzzle for you. It’s in two parts. Russia’s
military is inept and incompetent. Its soldiers have very low morale and are
poorly led. Its economy ranks with Italy’s and Spain’s. That’s one part. The
other part is Russia is a military colossus that threatens to overwhelm us. So,
we need more weapons. Let’s expand NATO. How do you reconcile those two
contradictory thoughts?
Chomsky: Those two thoughts are standard in the
entire West. I just had a long interview in Sweden about their plans to join
NATO. I pointed out that Swedish leaders have two contradictory ideas, the two
you mentioned. One, gloating over the fact that Russia has proven itself to be
a paper tiger that can’t conquer cities a couple of miles from its border
defended by a mostly citizens’ army. So, they’re completely militarily
incompetent. The other thought is: they’re poised to conquer the West and
destroy us.
George
Orwell
had a name for that. He called it doublethink,
the capacity to have two contradictory ideas in your mind and believe both of
them. Orwell mistakenly thought that was something you could only have in the
ultra-totalitarian state he was satirizing in 1984. He was
wrong. You can have it in free democratic societies. We’re seeing a dramatic
example of it right now. Incidentally, this is not the first time.
Such doublethink is, for instance, characteristic of Cold War thinking. You go way back to
the major Cold War document of those years, NSC-68 in 1950. Look at it
carefully and it showed that Europe alone, quite apart from the United States,
was militarily on a par with Russia. But of course, we still had to have a huge
rearmament program to counter the Kremlin design for world conquest.
That’s one document and it was a conscious approach. Dean
Acheson, one of the authors, later said that it’s necessary to be “clearer than
truth,” his phrase, in order to bludgeon the mass mind of government. We want
to drive through this huge military budget, so we have to be “clearer than
truth” by concocting a slave state that’s about to conquer the world. Such
thinking runs right through the Cold War. I could give you many other examples,
but we’re seeing it again now quite dramatically. And the way you put it is
exactly correct: these two ideas are consuming the West.
[Return to first, the main topic]
Barsamian: It’s also interesting that diplomat George Kennan foresaw the danger of NATO moving its borders east in
a very prescient op-ed he wrote that appeared in The New York Times in
1997.
Chomsky: Kennan had also been opposed to NSC-68. In fact, he had been the
director of the State Department Policy Planning Staff. He was kicked out and
replaced by Paul Nitze. [Kennan] was regarded as too soft for such a hard
world. He was a hawk, radically anticommunist, pretty brutal himself with
regard to U.S. positions, but he realized that military confrontation with
Russia made no sense.
Russia, he thought, would ultimately collapse from internal
contradictions, which turned out to be correct. But he was considered a dove
all the way through. In 1952, he was in favor of the unification of Germany
outside the NATO military alliance. That was actually Soviet ruler Joseph
Stalin’s proposal as well. Kennan was ambassador to the Soviet Union and a
Russia specialist.
Stalin’s initiative. Kennan’s proposal. Some Europeans
supported it. It would have ended the Cold War. It would have meant a
neutralized Germany, non-militarized and not part of any military bloc. It was
almost totally ignored in Washington.
There was one foreign policy specialist, a respected one, James
Warburg, who wrote a book about it. It’s worth reading. It’s called Germany: Key to Peace. In it, he
urged that this idea be taken seriously. He was disregarded, ignored,
ridiculed. I mentioned it a couple of times and was ridiculed as a lunatic,
too. How could you believe Stalin? Well, the archives came out. Turns out he
was apparently serious. You now read the leading Cold War historians, people
like Melvin Leffler, and they recognize that there was a real opportunity for a peaceful settlement at
the time, which was dismissed in favor of militarization, of a huge
expansion of the military budget.
Now, let’s go to the Kennedy administration. When John Kennedy came into office, Nikita
Khrushchev, leading Russia at the time, made a very important offer to carry
out large-scale mutual reductions in offensive military weapons, which would
have meant a sharp relaxation of tensions. The United States was far ahead
militarily then. Khrushchev wanted to move toward economic development in
Russia and understood that this was impossible in the context of a military
confrontation with a far richer adversary. So, he first made that offer to
President Dwight Eisenhower, who paid no attention. It was then offered to
Kennedy and his administration responded with the largest peacetime buildup of
military force in history — even though they knew that the United States was
already far ahead.
The U.S. concocted a “missile gap.” Russia was about to
overwhelm us with its advantage in missiles. Well, when the missile gap was
exposed, it turned out to be in favor of the U.S. Russia had maybe four
missiles exposed on an airbase somewhere.
You can go on and on like this. The security of the population
is simply not a concern for policymakers. Security for the privileged, the
rich, the corporate sector, arms manufacturers, yes, but not the rest of us.
This doublethink is constant, sometimes conscious, sometimes not. It’s just
what Orwell described, hyper-totalitarianism in a free society.
Barsamian: In an article in Truthout, you
quote Eisenhower’s 1953 “Cross of Iron”
speech. What did you find of interest there?
Chomsky: You should read it and
you’ll see why it’s interesting. It’s the best speech he ever made. This was
1953 when he was just taking office. Basically, what he pointed out was that
militarization was a tremendous attack on our own society. He — or whoever
wrote the speech — put it pretty eloquently. One jet plane means this many
fewer schools and hospitals. Every time we’re building up our military budget,
we’re attacking ourselves.
He spelled it out in some detail, calling for a decline in the
military budget. He had a pretty awful record himself, but in this respect he
was right on target. And those words should be emblazoned in everyone’s memory.
Recently, in fact, Biden proposed a
huge military budget. Congress expanded it even beyond his wishes, which
represents a major attack on our society, exactly as Eisenhower explained so
many years ago.
The excuse: the claim that we have to defend ourselves from this
paper tiger, so militarily incompetent it can’t move a couple of miles beyond
its border without collapse. So, with a monstrous military budget, we have to
severely harm ourselves and endanger the world, wasting enormous resources that
will be necessary if we’re going to deal with the severe existential crises we
face. Meanwhile, we pour taxpayer funds into the pockets of the fossil-fuel
producers so that they can continue to destroy the world as quickly as
possible. That’s what we’re witnessing with the vast expansion of both
fossil-fuel production and military expenditures. There are people who are
happy about this. Go to the executive offices of Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil,
they’re ecstatic. It’s a bonanza for them. They’re even being given credit for
it. Now, they’re being lauded for saving civilization by destroying the
possibility for life on Earth. Forget the Global South. If you imagine some
extraterrestrials, if they existed, they’d think we were all totally insane.
And they’d be right.
