CIA Created Group of NEOCONS Want WW3 With Russia!
Call Them the ‘Nuclear War Lobby Forum’
April 25, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—The dangerous agenda of the April 25-28 “Sixth Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum” hosted by the Hudson Institute today was laid out in the opening speech delivered by Janusz Bugajski of the Jamestown Foundation, a CIA-created bastion of neocons where the dead hand of Zbigniew Brzezinski still rules the roost. His message: You representatives of a myriad of “captive nations and regions” from inside Russia have been assembled in Washington, D.C. by your Anglo-American managers, to lobby like hell for the United States to hold firm on ensuring a Ukrainian military victory over Russia, followed by the dismantling of Russia itself.
An invitation for nuclear war!
Bugajski aggressively instructed those present to “Seize This Historic Moment,” and make sure the “failing” Russian “empire” never rises again. Make your voices heard: set up offices in key capitals; coordinate on strategy; prepare for recognition. People must understand that your nations will be in line with Western values and will strengthen NATO’s flank.
Likewise, the West must “embrace” the collapse of the Russian Federation. Recognition of new ethnic and regional “nations” is the most effective way to ensure a peaceful transition away from Russia as it exists today.
Russian terrorist advocate Ilya Ponomarev, present in person for the Forum’s four days of U.S. lobbying, asked Bugajski the first question: Many in Washington greatly fear the collapse of Russia would bring chaos, instability, “nukes,” and China. You are one of the few in a most influential think tank who understands. How do you recommend we deal with those fears?
The biggest fear is the fear of nuclear weapons, Bugajski replied. With a tone of “how silly,” he dismissed all ideas that breaking up a nuclear superpower could be cause for concern. It makes no sense that Russia would use nuclear weapons against the opposition inside Russia. Nor would Russia use them against the West, since that would only escalate its own destruction. And what could be the danger of nukes falling into the hands of the new states? They wouldn’t have the codes, and who would they use them against? They will all be allies and friends with us? You need to tell Americans “Relax, we can do this peacefully. This can be done.”
The premise of Bugajski’s grand strategy of ending the Russian Federation—which was also the premise of the other Anglo-American operatives who spoke at the event— is Ukraine’s military victory over Russia. That, as Bugajski said, is the “imperative” condition for Russia’s imperial collapse. That will demonstrate that Russia’s borders are transient, and the loss of Crimea and the three Donbass areas will encourage others to go for “freedom.”
Ukraine is qualified to enter NATO now, Bugajski also asserted. That is not yet accepted at the highest level of this administration—yet—out of fear of Moscow. But what can Moscow do? Invade Ukraine? He laughed.
Americans need to be warned: Such arrogant, self-assured, madmen playing chicken with nuclear weapons will bring about Armageddon!
Russian Diplomat Warns Nuclear War Danger Comes from Direct Military Confrontation Between Nuclear Powers
April 25, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—Vladimir Yermakov, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Department, warned in an interview with TASS that the risk of a direct military confrontation between the U.S. and Russia is very high. “If the U.S. continues to follow its current course towards a standoff with Russia, while constantly raising the stakes on the verge of a direct military conflict, then the fate of the New START Treaty may become sealed,” Yermakov told TASS. “However, in the worst-case scenario, i.e., if Washington drives the situation to a military clash between the strongest nuclear powers, then it is not the fate of the New START but the fate of the entire world that will be a concern.”
“This once again confirms that the most pressing threat today is connected not with the dynamic of stimuli for the first massive strike, which is supposed to be curbed by agreements like the New START, but with a danger of nuclear escalation as a result of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers,” Yermakov explained. “And, to our deepest regrets, these risks keep growing.” In other words, the danger comes not from the lack of arms control treaties, but from a policy of intentional aggression.
“This is exactly why we constantly point to the danger of U.S. and NATO’s actions, who, it seems, have believed in the illusion of impunity and got carried away with such chimeras as ‘escalation control’ and ‘escalatory domination,’ ” Yermakov underscored. “We continue sending sobering signals to the West that a catastrophe must be prevented.”
However, Yermakov pointed out, the West “remains deaf to the calls,” and even “maliciously distorts them for propaganda purposes.” In order to improve the situation, “the U.S. must immediately take concrete steps on de-escalation and to abolish the hostile course towards undermining Russia’s security in practice,” he stressed. “There is simply no other way to reverse the negative trend.”
