Whether or not the Republicans are
just playing for their base or are seriously proposing such policies,
they have proven that they will be force for more instability and
conflict in the world.
Mitt Romney and his
vice-presidential running mate, now the official contenders for the
White House, will dangerously radicalize U.S. foreign policy in
particular they will openly and with extreme prejudice confront the
Russian Federation on a number of issues, and advance U.S. interests and
geo-political policies and plans regardless of the wishes of the
international community.
To say that Romney and his
Republican brethren are a danger to world peace would be an
understatement. Their “ultra-conservative” views and stances on a number
of issues will bring about another era of neo-conservative subjugation
for the American people and the world and their backward thinking and
confrontational posturing will destroy much of the delicate compromise
that has kept the world stable for the last four years.
According
to Romney, who not long ago called Russia enemy number one, and his
Republican advisors who have approved a program for their party at their
convention in Florida, the Russian Federation is the number one
geo-political enemy of the United States and a “traditional rival” along
with North Korea, Iran and China. They also believe the Russian
Government is authoritarian, does not respect human rights, suppresses
the press, aligns with dictatorial regimes and the clincher: “was guilty
of an unprovoked invasion of Georgia”.
In short all
of the prehistoric, cold-war style, holier-than-thou, self-elevating,
self-advancing, blatantly false and confrontational rhetoric and talking
points that the Republicans are famous for.
To take
their points apart one by one is to give them credibility they do not
deserve but in case you just arrived from planet Sirius 7, Russia did
not invade Georgia but rather prevented the genocide of Russian citizens
in South Ossetia by the Georgian Army, the press in Russia is freer
than ever, the U.S. is currently supporting and creating more dictators
than ever before (Bahrain anyone?), the U.S. is engaged in a program of
global domination and instigating regime change wherever they see fit
and the U.S. through its military surrogates and NATO is attempting to
subjugate the entire planet and bend it to its will by placing it under
it military control.
Romney adviser Rich Williamson
at the "round table" on the Foreign Policy Initiative, a paper filled
with misconceptions laying out Republican Foreign Policy posturing and
their political stance, stated that the Romney Administration will end
the “reset” and confront Russia on issues such as Georgia, Iran, Syria
and others.
Georgia I have already mentioned, Syria
and Iran are points of contention for the most part only when it comes
to the U.S.’ plans to aggressively invade these two countries and
attempt to make the sovereign nations bend to Washington’s will and
bring these peoples to their knees.
Williamson also
said that Russia has “chosen the path of confrontation rather than
cooperation", apparently such blatant lies are more rhetoric for the
Republican “base” who as I have already said see no difference between a “Sheik” and a “Sikh”.
To say that Russia has chosen such a path when the entire Republican
platform is based on and call for confrontation with Russia is
disingenuous and a complete and total lie.
Russia has
embarrassingly bent to almost every U.S. encroachment on its
sovereignty, its geo-political position, its internal functions and its
military security since the collapse of the Soviet Union, even going so
far as to attempt to repeatedly work with NATO and the U.S. in their
plans to surround Russia with their missiles.
To
listen to Romney and his Republican like and read how they plan to “curb
Moscow”, “confront Russia”, surround Russia with missiles and the like
is to get the impression that he is talking about some small third world
nation they can just obliterate at any moment and not the largest
country on the planet and a formidable nuclear power.
The
Republicans shamelessly have also said they will meddle in European
affairs and attempt to reduce Europe’s “dependence” on Russian oil and
gas, which Europe obtains cheaply. I suppose if the oil and resource
starved U.S. succeeds in re-making the Middle East and seizing control
of all of the oil and resources in the region they will offer Europe a
cheaper alternative.
As for the Asia-Pacific Region
Romney has said he will strengthen ties with Asian countries, it seems
whether they want it or not, and reduce Russian influence in the region.
Lastly, according to Pravda.ru,
“Romney expressed his willingness to be the godfather of the Russian
opposition and organize the training for opposition activists at
American educational centers.”
As for the RNC Convention Republicans
have once again let their hypocrisy shine, with Tampa expecting a wave
of strippers and prostitutes who will no doubt “service” the “family
values” of the Republican conventioneers. Even a porn star named Lisa
Ann, who impersonates Sarah Palin, making millions on Republican’s lustful desires for the Alaska Governor and right-wing propaganda mouthpiece.
Not
only prostitutes have descended on Tampa but those opposing the
Republican’s narrow minded platform including Occupiers from all over
the U.S.
According to Jeffrey Billman at the Orlando Weekly,
for Americans the Republican plan to gut Medicare, bring back the gold
standard, eviscerate abortion rights, ban gay marriage, deport brown
people, and more. The Huffington Post
was also not very “optimistic” in a look at the GOP’s extreme
positions, in short promising hell not only for Russia but for Americans
if these people come to power.
From where I am
sitting, even taking into account the fact that Romney is playing to his
base, he will no doubt be detrimental to Russian-U.S. relations and
will be a "tyrant" and a "threat to global security" if he becomes
president.
Hopefully Americans will not let this happen.
