US Realpolitik 2.0: the recruitment of evil Kissingerism against Russia and China under Donald Trump


The man that could easily be considered the personification of the ruthless US deep state is back. Henry Kissinger comes at the right time in White House to provide 'expertise' on how to provoke a major conflict, especially now that the Sino-Russian bloc threatens the US world domination.


As Mintpressnews reports:

           While most reporting gave some context to Trump’s most recent meeting with top defense officials on tensions with Pyongyang, hardly any mentioned that the meeting had been immediately preceded by another. This meeting, also on the topic of North Korea, was held between the president and former Secretary of State and unindicted war criminal Henry Kissinger. [...] Given Trump’s bellicose rhetoric and threats towards North Korea – as well as his rejection of diplomacy in resolving the crisis despite both Pyongyang’s and his own State Department’s apparent willingness to attempt it – Kissinger’s timely guidance to the President during “the calm before the storm” should give the American public considerable cause for concern.

Adam Curtis in his film The Trap: What Happened to our Dream of Freedom, gives a short background about Kissinger's Realpolitik:

           Ever since the Second World War, American governments had struggled to contain the spread of Communism, and the wave of Third World revolutions was the dangerous new face in this battle. To try and stop it, during the 60's and 70's, American governments adopted a ruthless strategy backing dictators and tyrants around the world who offered to contain these revolutionary forces. They did this, by repressing or killing thousands of their own people. The Main architect of this policy was Henry Kissinger, secretary of State under president Nixon. He used America's power to back dictators like general Pinochet in Chile, and Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. Kissinger knew that these dictators used torture and mass killing to stay in power, but in his theory, what he called Realpolitik, this was the price that had to be paid if Soviet tyranny was to be kept in check.

Where there's smoke there's fire, so when Kissinger comes, prepare for war.

Why 'dirty Henry' needed to come back at this moment? Most probable answer, to give useful advice and guide 'appropriately' Donald Trump.

So, the next question that comes in mind: would he be coming back under Hillary Clinton too? The seemingly surprisingly answer is 'No'! True, because Hillary doesn't need any guidance. She comes straight from the Kissingerian Realpolitik school, and therefore, she knows very well what to do to provoke Russia and China. She would have been devoted to that mission from her first day in the Oval Office.

There is evidence that Trump was receiving advice from the warmongering Kissinger quite long before his election. And that can be seen in the strategic approach against the Sino-Russian rival bloc. Both Donald Trump and Henry Kissinger appeared to be seeking a diplomatic approach with Russia, contrary to China. Behind this, there is a clear strategy to break the Sino-Russian alliance by concentrating pressure on the component that threatens the economic domination of the US, but has not yet the military strength to confront the US war machine.

And here comes North Korea. China is already encircled by the US naval forces in Asia Pacific. The next step would be the presence of US troops on the ground, right next to the Chinese borders in the Northeast. So, North Korea as the final barrier must be removed.

Let's guess what could be Kissinger's key advice to Donald Trump. Probably, to increase pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear program. Iran did it and now the clouds of war are gathering above it as the Donald wants to cancel the nuclear deal, find a pretext to invade. The US empire first imposes tough sanctions together with its faithful allies, then disarms the target, then invades.

Yet, the best part of the story may surprise you even further. Because the US warmongering establishment may be feeling more comfortable with Trump in power. Hillary Clinton would not be that easy to be 'manoeuvred' on this matter due to her excessive zeal to confront Russia. But Donald, despite his frequent shows where he presents himself as an unpredictable 'prima donna', is taken by the hand by the 'Darth Vader' of US foreign policy in order to make the right steps towards the destruction of the Sino-Russian alliance.

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...
