Russia, Ukraine and Compassionate State Reorganizationism

The Ukraine has the fourth lowest birth rate in the world and only 44 million people. It is a productive place with a large land area that reasonable should have a rapproachment with the new Russia that itself may evolve a free enterprise democracy free of rampant corporatism in time. When Russia raised its tricolor flag on 26 Dec. 1991 to declare itself an independent new nation free of Soviet control it began the long process of repairing the damages done by the Dictator from Georgia Joseph Djugashvilli and the Soviet communist party. Repressing the desire of Russia to secure its traditional lands in its possession prior to the Soviet revolution isn’t reasonable. The Soviet communists were not elected to power by popular vote to start.

One wonders where statesmanship and wisdom depart to after a nation experiences international political success. The axiom that some can’t stand prosperity evidently applies to foreign policy too. After the end of the cold war the United States managed to botch relations with the new Russia, pile up $17 trillion of public debt and outsource so many jobs while concentrating wealth and degrading democracy. The Congress can’t even pass a budget. U.S. leadership still has time to bugger up international relations and the media too much sound jingoistic in being Don Quixote cold wars tilting against the Soviet Union in the 21^st century of imagination.

 

The Ukraine was taken away briefly from Russia by V.I. Lenin and Trotsky who cut a deal with the Kaiser so they could quit W.W.I Yet that giveaway was reversed at the Treaty of Versailles concluding W.W.I. The Ukraine was divided up in three parts with the Soviets getting the eastern part. During the war 3.5 million Ukrainians fought for Russia and a quarter million fought on the other side.. The U.S. Government in effect has the same policy as Kaiser and Hitler toward the Ukraine in that it should all belong to someone else than Russia. Yet Ukraine is as much Russian homeland as Israel is for Jews although other people live their too.

The Ukraine emerged as independent January 24 1991 following the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.  In the absence of a government in Russia and with pressure and support from the West political independence was an obvious evolution from the failed system. It does not necessarily follow however that Russia should forfeit claim to its traditional lands though Russia itself had been taken over by Soviet coup. Russia is a perennial land much like Britain in that regard even if Scotland moves for independence a rump state of Britain will remain.

Weak Soviet and Russian leaders have been pressurized by the west to give up the Ukraine before. Lenin, and Yeltsin signed treaties about the Ukraine and Hitler just took the western part and that could never have occurred without the threat or use of violence.

 

Ukrainian leaders cooperated with the Nazi’s after the invasion as they hated the Soviets because of the mass starvation Stalin directed. Ukrainian auxiliary police helped round up Jews for the holocaust.

“The atrocities against the Jewish population during the Holocaust started within a few days of the beginning of German occupation. There are indications that the Ukrainian auxiliary police was used in the round-up of Jews for the Babi Yar massacre^[8][9] and in other Ukrainian cities and towns, such as Lviv,^[10][11] Lutsk,^[12] and Zhytomyr.^[13] On September 1, 1941, Nazi-controlled Ukrainian newspaper Volhyn wrote "The element that settled our cities (Jews)... must disappear completely from our cities. The Jewish problem is already in the process of being solved."^[14]

In May 2006, a Ukrainian newspaper Ukraine Christian News commented: "Carrying out the massacre was the Einsatzgruppe C, supported by members of a Waffen-SS battalion and units of the Ukrainian auxiliary police, under the general command of Friedrich Jeckeln. The participation of Ukrainian collaborators in these events, now documented and proven, is a matter of painful public debate in Ukraine.".^[15]”

Russia has never backed down from a peer war and has won a few, almost always in defense. Russian fought for 500 years to get the Mongol hordes out of their country. The United States has no comparable history. Custer lost a battle against Indians fighting for honor while Bill Clinton had Janet Reno protecting his flank yet blew it anyway. Respect Russian history and give their present status honor, they have overcome dictators in ways the U.S.A. can’t even imagine, and may need to one day. The end of history did not occur in Dec. 1989.

 

Russia should have the East side of the Don River for traditional security against invaders and because it’s rightly Russian. When one might ask, did Russia ever invade the west? Wasn’t it the French (Napoleon), German’s (Hitler) and Mongols (Far East) who invaded and occupied Moscow? Snatch and grabbing the vast lands to the east defended by weak transitional rulers shouldn’t rollover to be a 21^st century policy. Boston D.C. bullies shouldn’t be so cold blooded in disregarding history. Historians shouldn’t be on the side of goons of conquest and write sycophantic propaganda. D.C. politicians should teach the world to sing in perfect harmony their own personalized chords of moral and economic creativity.

In an era short of easy lands to colonize around the globe the Russian lands in the late Soviet Union are easy back-yard pickings for N.A.T.O., Boston and Washington D.C. as irresistible as a bucket of Colonel Sanders chicken with original formula, gravy, biscuits, mashed potatoes and cole slaw on the side.

 

Today’s western political carpet baggers and the Nazis looked to the fertile Ukraine as blingin booty. The Ukraine is the third largest grain producer in the world and a major exporter to global food supply.

 

With a corrupt national economic policy without the derivatives and banking scams available presently the plundering of historically Russian territory like the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea is about all that’s available. Destabilizing Russia by emasculating their southern nether regions is not in the long range interest of stable world peace. Obviously wars pay good money to arms manufacturers and defense contractors in the U.S.A. though.

 

Since President Wilson signed a separate peace with Germany at the end of the First World War that did not guarantee French security the U.S.A. has implemented malfunctioning international security arrangements for short-term profit. From the Paris peace talks ending the Vietnam conflict to the failed nation rebuilding policy of Iraq and Afghanistan U.S. foreign policy has been malfunctional. Abusing post-Soviet Union Russia now with N.A.T.O. bullies so martinets can plunder Russia for-profit is senseless. A stable Russia sharing the Ukraine with locals would remove the real threat to Russia of aggressive western military build up and that intimidating concern on its borders. Washington D.C. forces its dresses upon foreign leaders and their populace wherever it can these days in order to conform to the image of the godless beast of scientism.

 

The Ukraine provided troops that fought for the Nazis in the Second World War. It is always possible to find those that will fight for any cause viewed as promoting narrow self-interest. When the United States helped stage a coup against the Iranian Prime Minister a half century ago it built a foundation for troubles that never ceased. With so many enemies in the world today and with so vast of a public debt is it a good idea to place Russia permanently on the side of those that have been unfairly wounded by U.S. foreign policy and so build a future of existential instability?

It is important to see the woods as well as the trees in making strategic foreign policy decisions. Continuing with inertia from old cold war criteria is understandable for Senator McCain who was eight years a P.O.W. yet for President Obama it’s disingenuous; he was living in Indonesia or paradise island. President Suharto was no communist.

 

U.S. Secretary of State Kerry said his generation of vets were war criminals. Changing sides from that of sailor and decorated veteran to anti-war protest leader and heroic symbol of turncoat to left counter-culture regardless of the merits of that movement John Kerry used that platform to run for political office, become a Senator and take an heiress wife of a multi-billion dollar ketchup empire. Profiteering is in the blood. The Ukraine is the present l.e.m. of desire. Obama, Kerry et al are procuring a corporate annexation of land that should be shared with Russia on the east side of the river Don and Nazi-corporatist/Boston D.C. axis of gay symps on the left ought be considered.

 

Russia has been a good partner in the war against Muslim terrorism since 9-11 and provide a warning about the about the Boston Marathon bomber that was ignored. With the approaching end to U.S. ineptitude in Afghanistan soon as it enters a new phase Russia might choose to withhold cooperation in sharing intelligence on terrorism with the U.S.A. if sanctions are imposed. U.S. diplomacy and competence at international justice are lacking inn the Ukrainian affair. It seems as if the dope smoking advocate I.Q. attrition challenged Democrat Party leadership thinks it a football game to cheer for ‘their’ side. Did anyone in that party study up Russian history at all?

 

Reagan wins the peace, the follow up profligate boomer military runts acting like carpet baggers should leave off with the idiocy and just let Russia renormalize to a stable configuration. That does not include the Baltic Republics or the other now independent nations of the former Soviet Union unless they freely want to associate with a renormalized post-Soviet non-communist Russia.

Is there a TIme Limit on Making the World a Better Place?

Philosophical questions and the contemplation of the meaning of life in relation to a consumerist, globalist political economy juxtapose paradoxes of mind, God, transcendence freedom and the problems of quantitative analysis with finite material opportunities. Vast human historical movements coerce people to live in social currents simultaneously bettering and degrading individual experience of existence. Discovering a real-time synthetic course paradigm for developing human potential without spiritual decay is challenging.


Perhaps it's something like a chess game deliberation of the array of pieces and potential vectors in combinations that may occur yet that are mutually exclusive scenarios in the future with or without intervention (if one is playing the standard theory). Can one make the world a better place in a limited human life span? What would comprise making it better? Would a society with mass extinction of life be better, or one with global warming or thermonuclear war, deforestation, dictatorship, doped up proles in Matrix style containment clusters or atheistic bioforms that don't believe in free will and so have no ethics at all? Can individuals work to preserve individual liberty with the networking power of corporatism and socialism merging together to repress personal liberty from ubiquitous social pressure?


 I wish you luck in the effort to make the world a better place. Jesus Christ with the humility of God made quite an effort that was the foundation for western civilization after late antiquity. The Church was an element unifying pagan tribes in the British Isles and elsewhere. The brevity of life and uncertainty affecting human choices bring a certain log-rolling slipperiness to the effort.

On Secretary Kerry's Threats to Russia Over The Crimea

The Ukraine was Russia’s breadbasket for centuries. In a cold northern country the farm belt is an important area. It is difficult to survive on whale blubber and vodka alone. Europeans since the dark ages have nevertheless sought hostile takeover of the Ukraine and periodically have annexed it through war. The Ukraine is still a vast productive farming region of Europe and is viewed favorably by nations as remote as Sweden. In fact if Russian power were rolled back further Sweden might look to take up the work of King Carl Gustav in taking lands held by Russia.


That king fled to the Crimea eventually and was arrested. Sect. Kerry of the U.S.A. is making threats and imprecations such that Russia should have no claim upon the Ukraine or even the Crimea; a city built not with rock and roll but with Russians lest sanctions and international isolation ensue. Taking the Crimea away from Russia is like taking New Orleans and Pass a Loutre away from the U.S.A. Russia's warm water port has always been a national security requisite for that nation-one Secretary Kerry seems to want to castrate.

http://www.state.gov/secretary/remarks/2014/03/222720.htm

On March 1 Secretary Kerry said; "The United States condemns the Russian Federation's invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory, and its violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity in full contravention of Russia’s obligations under the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, its 1997 military basing agreement with Ukraine, and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. This action is a threat to the peace and security of Ukraine, and the wider region.

I spoke with President Turchynov this morning to assure him he had the strong support of the United States and commend the new government for showing the utmost restraint in the face of the clear and present danger to the integrity of their state, and the assaults on their sovereignty. We also urge that the Government of Ukraine continue to make clear, as it has from throughout this crisis, its commitment to protect the rights of all Ukrainians and uphold its international obligations."


It should be noted that after the dissolution of the Soviet Union the Russian Government was tentative and disoriented. Agreements conceded by it at that time were made with no small element of coercion and might be compared to distressed sales of property at bargain basement prices. The United States was the large power enacting the coercion then and now and the U.N. would be wise to employ recalcitrance about being sycophants for causes with dubious morality. An insecure Russia is not in the security interests of the west or the east.

President Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union could trust President Ronald Reagan. When Reagan went to Berlin and said ‘President Gorbachev, tear down this wall’ Gorbachev had no worry that N.A.T.O. under Reagan would invade. Peace would break out with Russian troop withdrawals by Dec. 1989 from East Germany en mass. As I mentioned to a fellow passenger on a train to Berlin in Nov. 1987 what I guessed would happen if the Soviet Union broke apart; an economic centrifugal force cut off from the center would fling the peripheral nations into a myriad of individually independent entities, peacefully more or less. There is a difference between nations of the former Soviet Union occupied during World War Two in fighting against the Nazis and those nations that were formerly part of the Soviet Union and Russia before. The former plainly have a right to self determination while the latter have a closer relationship to the new Russia emerging from the wreckage of the old government. Would America allow the states to go their own way of they want or even to have their own moral choices such as limiting marriage to heterosexual reproduction support criteria?

 

Maintaining peace and a non-carpet bagging principle of non-aggression by the more stable west was an element of Reagan’s policy yet with time following U.S. leadership has reverted gradually to a more typical human organizational footing of opportunistic economic predation.

 

Secretary of State Kerry’s bluster about Russian troops ‘invading’ the Crimea is a wrong tone and bad paradigm. Europe needs peace, prosperity and ecospheric recovery with full employment as does Russia. Even of Russia allows the Ukraine to be independent with good will, recovering from the damage done by the Soviet Union and its break up is challenging to Russia and will continue. The U.S. Government seems to have no competence in Russian history at all and is as diplomatically as a Hatfield arbitrator of the Hatsfields and McCoy conflicts.

 

If the United States had a weak, corrupt communist government that in breaking up gave Florida to Cuba would it be wrong or invasive for a rest\to health new U.S. Government to send troops to Florida at the request of t5he people that state who formerly had some ties to America as incredible as that seems? Lawyers in the Executive branch should not act as petty, shyster legalists arguing for hegemony over foreign nations in a two-dimensional approach to a three dimensional world. Reagan didn’t do so and brought peace and prosperity. Spoilt follow-up leadership has brought war, 17 trillion dollars of debt and excess tax cuts and deregulation to the U.S.A. No amount of legal quackery changes the reality of things for-themselves.

 

What is the actual foundation of international law besides power? The United States as the present international 800 pound guerilla was said to have used the Ukraine as a site for extraordinary rendition and torture interrogation of captives in the war against terrorism. The United States has violated international law whenever if felt it useful to do so. International law exists between consenting nations and powerless nations subject to pressure and besides that its force de majeure. The United States should help the Ukraine and Russia to be good friends and neighbors with good words and good offices-it ought to be easy, instead of a promoter of conflict and the possible shedding of blood. Even U.S. security interests would be adversely impacted by seeking to isolate and impose sanctions on Russia. One feels that intelligent leadership is lacking in Washington D.C.

 One also wonders if Russia had more time to develop a free market economy and was more prosperous if the Ukraine wouldn’t prefer a free trade deal with Russia rather than the E.U.?

 

In 1302 Pope Boniface VIII claimed hierocratic power to appoint all temporal political leaders such as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Emperor in a papal bull named Unam Sanctam. In 1324 Marsilius of Padua published a brilliant treatise named Defensor Pacis/Defendor of the Peace wherein he wrote that the citizens of a state-universitis civium and the people of faith-universitis fideum are twin sources of political and ecclesiastical power. Power flows from the bottom up-unfortunately as does money these days rather than the top down. Leaders are to be servants of the people. Jesus Christ was the perfect example of that. Bureaucrats ought to be ready to throw themselves into a pothole to smooth out the path of the truck of commerce instead of taxing it or outsourcing it’s ownership to global networks of concentrated wealth. When U.S. political leadership fails to serve the people well from the bottom up and instead serves financial flummery for the rich it gets into maladroit positions harmful to U.S. national interests. One thinks they are incapable of conflict resolution and progress satisfactory to even simple friends and neighbor issues such as in the Ukraine. One wonders how many agents provocateurs are engaged in puffing up the crisis for the benefit of unknown powers.
