New Cold War Lines Are Being Fortified: There Are Interests Behind The Throne That Are Not Controlled By The Trump Administration

For those of you who have completely fallen in line with the thought that President Trump is the panacea to all our problems, it’s advisable that you rethink that stance. Firstly, there are interests behind the throne that are neither controlled by nor parallel to the interests of the administration. Secondly, the “transition period” is not over. It is far from over, and the lines that are developing…both of intra and inter-party dissension domestically…and the “Second Cold War” lines throughout the world…have materialized. They are beginning to solidify, and they are becoming fortified.
Yes, it was mentioned last year that the U.S. was sending troops to Poland and the Baltic States as a “show of support and encouragement.” It was mentioned last year, but it is happening now. A battalion-sized element deployed to Poland this past week. The slow but steady buildup begun with Obama is not being curtailed with this administration. The Military Industrial Complex (MIC) is too ensconced within our society and too powerful to sweep under the rug. We already have emplaced missile defense units and equipment in Romania. Last week Montenegro was officially “welcomed” into NATO and the EU. More troop deployments to Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Norway are continuing.
It appears Secretary of State Tillerson and Secretary of Defense Mattis are at the forefront of foreign policy, and the MIC-controlled Senators McCain and Graham have not yet relented on pushing for a war to commence in Ukraine. Foreign policy should (with the first two individuals mentioned) not be delegated at this stage of the President’s term, as it is still in its infancy. Regarding the latter two, they should be removed from their offices and charged with treason. The U.S.-installed government in Kiev has been pushing the separatists in the Eastern provinces of Ukraine relentlessly, violating the Minsk accords of 2014 ceaselessly.
The intent is to put so much pressure on the Eastern Ukrainians of Russian ethnic derivation that Russia will feel compelled to act on their “behalf.” Such a response by Russia will ensure the U.S. throws its hat into the ring. This plays right into the hands of McCain, Graham, and others of their ilk who wish war with Russia, who has in no uncertain terms declared that war will arise if one bullet is shipped to Ukraine. More than that is on its way, as at the end of 2016 Congress approved an “aid package” to Ukraine of weapons and munitions.
Last week Russia took some key actions, as well. Russia signed an agreement with South Ossetia, the breakaway (self-declared) republic from Georgia that Russia has held as a “protected territory” since the 2008 war between Georgia and Russia. The agreement provides that South Ossetia’s military is in alliance with, and is a part of the Russian military.
Here’s the “kicker”: South Ossetia will vote this month whether to officially become a subject of Russia.
