Lenin’s Question Is the Question of Our Time
Now that some total idiot in the Trump regime has green-lighted an attack on Russian strategic forces, John Helmer raises for Putin Lenin’s question, “What is to be done?” See this.
As I understand it, Washington’s attack on Russian strategic forces is grounds under current Russian war doctrine for Putin to push the button. But Putin, unlike Lenin, is a balancer, not a person who acts. Is Putin so desperate to avoid war that he is bringing war upon us?
There seems to be more awareness among Russian people than in Washington and Europe of the seriousness of the situation. With too long of a wait, it eventually dawned on the White House that Trump must be disassociated from the attack, as otherwise the attack is easily interpreted as Washington’s declaration of war on Russia. According to the White House announcement, Trump was not informed in advance of the attack on the Russian strategic bombing fleet, which in keeping with the treaty is kept lined up openly on air fields. One problem with this disavowal is that the Secretary of State or the Defense Secretary reportedly watched via the digital revolution the attack as it happened. So Trump’s government knew, but Trump didn’t?
What confidence does the attack on Russian strategic forces give Putin that Trump is sincere about peace negotiations?
Why does Trump announce constructing a trillion dollar dome to protect the US from incoming missiles when the costless alternative is a mutual security agreement, a great power agreement, with Russia and China? The answer is that the US military/security complex wants the money. The dome will be useless, because hypersonic missiles on random jig-jag trajectories cannot be intercepted. If Trump is the peace president, why not simply agree to a mutual security agreement?
Another problem with the White House’s disavowal is Trump’s competence as president. Let’s examine the implication of President Trump not being informed of an attack that under Russian war doctrine is sufficient to launch nuclear missiles against the United States and Europe. How can it be that it is not in the hands of the President of the United States whether or not to undertake a military action that could initiate nuclear war? Is this a sign of President Trump’s incompetence or of his irrelevance?
It is not only the White House that is making light of a stupid action that could have unleashed nuclear war, but also all of Washington, Western Europe, and the Western whore media, a collection of despicable people who lie for their living. We are facing an existential threat to the continued existence of
