The U.S. is on the wrong side, historically, in all of its foreign policies.

13 November 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

The United States is on the wrong side in Ukraine because the U.S. grabbed Ukraine in 2014, by a U.S. coup, in order to turn against Russia that then-neutralist country, which immediately started its ethnic cleansing to get rid of the people who had voted for that neutralist President. (If you disagree with this, please click there to see the evidence.) Ukraine is the only country whose border is a mere 300 miles away from Russia’s central command in The Kremlin; and, so, America’s placing a nuclear missile there could decapitate Russia’s Government within a mere 5 minutes, and therefore Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 in order to prevent that from ever happening. U.S. President J.F. Kennedy in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, like Russian President Vladimir Putin in the case of the 2014 U.S. take-over of Ukraine to turn it against Russia, was prepared to invade Cuba if the Soviet Union wouldn’t agree to withdraw its missiles from there, which was 1,131 miles (30 minutes) away from decapitating America’s central command in Washington DC. Though the Soviet leader Khrushchev was willing to and did negotiate and settle that, the American leaders (Obama, Trump, and Biden) have NOT been willing to do it now in regards to Russia (they don’t “return the favor” of Khrushchev’s having behaved decently and rationally); and, so, Russia’s leader Putin was — VERY reluctantly — finally forced by the U.S. to invade Ukraine, in order to be able to protect Russia’s own national security against what was a mortal danger to Russia from the United States.

The U.S. is on the wrong side in Gaza and the West Bank, arming Israel’s attempted genocide of the Gazans, and also arming Israel to steal yet more land from West Bank Palestinians. Whereas the U.S.-and-allied media do all they can to get the public on the side of the U.S. Government’s policies, the Government routinely institutes policies that are highly disfavored by the American people. For example, on 13 December 2017, I headlined “Poll: 2-to1 Americans Oppose Moving U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem” and this poll was taken “just a month before US President Donald Trump announced that America’s Embassy will move to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv,” so, he ignored public opinion and heeded ONLY the opinions of the billionaires who had funded his Presidential campaign. They got what they wanted; the U.S. public got the opposite.

The United States is on the wrong side in China, trying to arm, so as to lure, China’s province of Taiwan, to declare its independence from China, though in 1972, the U.S. signed with Beijing the Shanghai Communiqué, in which the U.S. said and committed itself to the policy that “Taiwan is a part of China.”  It is settled official U.S. Government policy. Trump just hired as his National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, a rabid neocon who advocates for a “Cold War” with China that will escalate to a hot war so that America will be able to defeat China and so stay the top dog. The neocons’ strategy regarding China is to get Taiwan to announce independence so that China will need to invade Taiwan and the U.S. regime can then ‘defend our ally’ by invading China.

The U.S. Government and its media ‘justify’ all of this by nothing but historical lies, including ‘fact checks’ that are themselves lies against truths that have exposed their lies. It is a systematic maelstrom of misinformation, so as to make mental slaves of their public, in order to be able to call this a “democracy” instead of the aristocracy that it actually is.

Donald Trump, like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — all of the major-Party U.S. Presidential candidates — support all of these evil policies because America’s billionaires support overwhelmingly the further expansion of the U.S. empire, and because those are the individuals who donate over half of all political money in the United States, and to whom all U.S. Goverrnment officials are, therefore — in such a corrupt country as this (and every aristocracy is, by its very nature, profoundly corrupt) — ultimately beholden.

As-of now, the evil empire is the only empire, the United States and its colonies, which is the world’s ONLY remaining empire. The real question isn’t whether it should continue to be the world’s only empire and continue expanding (such as neocons assume to be the case), but instead whether there ought to BE any empire remaining in the world. America’s greatest-ever President, FDR, was deeply committed to a NO on that question, but promptly became succeeded in office by a highly prejudiced and thus manipulable man, Harry Truman, whom his personal hero General Dwight Eisenhower, and the English Empire’s leader Winston Churchill, convinced on 25 July 1945 to turn 180 degrees to the reverse of FDR’s detailed plan for the U.N. to be the armed democratic federation of nations (world Government) to legislate, judge, and enforce, ALL international (and ONLY international) laws, so as to END what had CAUSED both World Wars, which is empires and the contests between them — in other words: the billionaires (who are the only people who profit from wars) CAUSE wars (and FDR knew this).

Whereas virtually all successful U.S. politicians are neoconservatives (support expanding the U.S. empire), the public generally pay little if any attention to international issues (and, for example, this is a main reason why Trump can successfully pretend to be against being pro-war even while doing pro-war things such as moving Israel’s capital to Jerusalem). Our Government’s extreme bellicosity comes from the billionaires and their servants, not from the public, though many naive people don’t know this and think that the public are leading this country. America is simply a dictatorship by billionaires that pretends not to be any dictatorship at all, and that fools many people.

America condemns “the Evil Empire” while being the ONLY empire, and this hypocrisy on top of America’s own hyper-imperialism, is designed to fool (make a mental slave out of) anyone who is stupid enough to believe it.

Any country that allies itself with such a regime is, itself, as evil as that master-country. And all of America’s colonies (‘allies’) (other than South Korea) have economic growth rates that are below the global average. Furthermore, the U.S. Government has been crushing the national economies in its European colonies, and American billionaires have been profiting enormously from this. As U.S. President Barack Obama said, “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation”, meaning that all other nations are “dispensable” — not ONLY Russia, China, etc., are, but ALSO Germany, UK, etc., are ‘dispensable’. What kind of Governments want to join such a club? Is it democracies, or is it instead the U.S. regime’s fellow-aristocracies — other countries that are controlled by their billionaires? That’s the club. It has a rotten record. It endangers the entire world. Only billionaires and fools support it.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
