Biden’s Plans To Start WW3 Either In Ukraine Or In Taiwan
U.S. President Joe Biden’s interview with TIME magazine, published on June 4th, is informative about U.S. President Joe Biden’s plans to provoke both Russia and China into WW3 — using the war in Ukraine as the excuse for an American war with Russia, and using as an excuse to fight China a declaration of independence by Taiwan’s government, for which the U.S. has long been propagandizing.
The U.S. has even been donating to Taiwan’s government American weapons, in order to encourage it to declare its independence, and as a consequence to become invaded by China, so that the U.S. and its allies can cry out against “China’s aggression” and then start yet another war to punish it.
The U.S. Government itself has an official policy that “The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China, and that Taiwan is a part of China.” That policy even has a name: “the One-China policy”. So: America’s official policy is that Taiwan is a Province of China. But at the same time, is arming it in order to provoke war.
The TIME article pretends to include “fact checks” of Biden’s allegations, but the most important of those checks are based upon dubious sources, such as the following important statement from Biden, which expresses his view that defeating Russia in Ukraine is a realistic primary objective of his Presidency:
“The Russian military has been decimated. You don’t write about that. It’s been freaking decimated.” [TIME’s fact check: “The Facts: This is a fair assessment, according to a Reuters report [December 12, 2023] on a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment provided to Congress” [but never made public; so, what does ‘declassified’ even mean here, regarding a report which might not even exist, or be from untrustworthy sources?]. “The intelligence [what intelligence?] determined that Russia had 360,000 active military personnel when it invaded Ukraine in February of 2022. By December of last year, 315,000 Russian troops had been either killed or injured in the war — a reduction in troop strength by 87%.”
Then, TIME observes that Biden “(Pulls out a copy of the speech Putin delivered on Feb. 21, 2022) ……. You probably haven’t read it. Most people haven’t read it. He [Putin] says this is part of reestablishing the Soviet Union. [No ‘fact check’ there, but Putin never said that.] That’s what this is all about.”
That speech by Putin wasn’t aiming to explain the war in Ukraine that began three days later; he wasn’t so stupid as to be referring to a special military operation before it occurred — but Biden’s statement published on June 4, 2024 pretends otherwise. Putin’s actual speech to his nation explaining why he had decided to invade Ukraine occurred on February 24, 2022. It, too, was very long and winding, and wasted much time detailing history that wasn’t directly relevant to the urgent national-security concerns which made this war necessary; and Putin said:
“It is a fact that over the past 30 years we have been patiently pursuing to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe. In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail, while the North Atlantic alliance continued to expand despite our protests and concerns. Its military machine is moving and, as I said, is approaching our very border. …….
In December 2021, we made yet another attempt to reach agreement with the United States and its allies on the principles of European security and NATO’s non-expansion. Our efforts were in vain. The United States has not changed its position. It does not believe it necessary to agree with Russia on a matter that is critical for us. The United States is pursuing its own objectives, while neglecting our interests. …….
We can see that the forces that staged the coup in Ukraine in 2014 have seized power, are keeping it with the help of ornamental election procedures and have abandoned the path of a peaceful conflict settlement. For eight years, for eight endless years we have been doing everything possible to settle the situation by peaceful political means. Everything was in vain. …….
I have already said that Russia accepted the new geopolitical reality after the dissolution of the USSR. We have been treating all new post-Soviet states with respect and will continue to act this way. We respect and will respect their sovereignty, as proven by the assistance we provided to Kazakhstan when it faced tragic events and a challenge in terms of its statehood and integrity. However, Russia cannot feel safe, develop, and exist while facing a permanent threat from the territory of today’s Ukraine. …….
They did not leave us any other option for defending Russia and our people, other than the one we are forced to use today. In these circumstances, we have to take bold and immediate action.”
What’s so special about Ukraine, for Russia? The answer is simple: it is the only country whose border reaches only about 300 miles away from Kremlin, which the U.S. Government seems to aim to obliterate by positioning a missile there, to blitz-decapitate Russia’s central command.
On December 17, 2021, Russia formally presented, both to the U.S. Government and to NATO, its national-security demands and proposed peace treaty provisions that have since 1991 been violated by the U.S. and NATO. Both documents included the issue of broken promises the U.S. Government and NATO had made to Gorbachev prior to his 1991 termination of both the Soviet Union and its communism, that if the Soviet Union and its communism would end, then NATO would not expand “even one inch to the east” toward Russia’s border.
Russia’s provisions in these two draft-documents on December 17, 2021 prohibited further expansion of NATO, and explicitly prohibited Ukraine (whose border is far closer to Kremlin than any other nation is) to become a member-nation of NATO. These demands from Russia were similar to America’s JFK having demanded from the Soviet Union, in 1962, that Cuba not receive Soviet missiles — but even more so than back then, because whereas Washington DC is only 1,131 miles from Cuba, Ukraine is only 317 miles from Kremlin — a mere 5-minute missile flight away from decapitating Russia’s central command.
Both of Putin’s documents were completely rejected on January 7, 2022, and this rejection by NATO and the U.S. — and refusal to propose their own provisions, absolute refusal to negotiate with Russia over Russia’s needs in order for it to be able to consider America and NATO to be anything other than deadly enemies of Russia — unquestionably sparked Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. He was compelled by America and NATO to address Russia’s national-security necessities now by force since America and NATO refused to participate in diplomatic resolution of these matters.
The key demand on December 17, 2021 in the NATO draft document, was: “Article 6: All member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States.” So: for Biden now to be saying that, instead, Putin’s February 21, 2022 speech indicated that “He [Putin] says this is part of reestablishing the Soviet Union,” is a vicious and dangerous lie. And, so, also TIME’s so-called fact check is deceit of the public on a very high order.
TIME asked Biden, “So what is the endgame in Ukraine and what does peace look like there?” He responded: “Peace looks like making sure Russia never, never, never, never occupies Ukraine. That’s what peace looks like. And it doesn’t mean NATO, they are part of NATO.” (TIME again offered no ‘fact check’ on Biden’s blatantly false allegation that Ukraine is part of NATO.)
That’s Biden’s plan to start a direct war with Russia.
Here’s his plan to start fighting China as well:
“I’ve spent more time with Xi Jinping than any leader in the world, over 90 hours alone with him since I’ve been Vice President. And we have a very candid relationship.
You know, I don’t have any (unintelligible). He wanted to know why I was doing all these actions. I said the simple reason I’m doing those actions is to make sure that you don’t, that you aren’t able to change the status quo in any way.”
Here is the “status quo” ever since 1972:
The U.S. Government said, and signed with China’s Government, in 1972, the Shanghai Communique, including “The U.S. side declared: The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China, and that Taiwan is a part of China.” George W. Bush’s Administration tried unsuccessfully in 2007 to outlaw internationally the phrase “Taiwan is a part of China”; and, so, the Shanghai Communique has remained the official U.S. Government policy to this day.
On July 19, 2023, I headlined and documented an article titled Biden wants to go to war against China. It opened:
“His plan is to arm Taiwan and entice it to announce its complete independence from China — that Taiwan is no mere province of China but instead an independent country — which announcement would then immediately force China either to invade it, or else to accept Taiwan’s becoming a separate and independent country.”
Taiwan’s new leader has complied with that, even in his inaugural address. Will Biden go to war against China in the months leading up to the November 5th U.S. elections, if China invades Taiwan? How much international backing would the U.S. regime have if it did that?
The Buildup To WW3 Is Now At An Advanced Stage
On October 27, 2022, I headlined NATO wants to place nuclear missiles on Finland’s Russian border — Finland says yes, and explained that the U.S. Government had already won a huge victory against Russia by getting Finland into NATO and receiving Finland’s promise that America will be allowed to place its nukes there, only 507 miles away from Moscow. It was a huge victory against Russia, but disastrous for Finland, which consequently became perhaps the first target now for Russia’s missiles.
Russia has the capacity to defeat Finland in WW3, as it had done when Finland participated in Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa to conquer Russia during WW2 — and lost. Now Finland isn’t merely another colony of the U.S. empire, but it’s the likeliest one of them to be the first to become obliterated if WW3 breaks out. Of course, Finland had joined NATO in order to increase its national security against Russia, which had posed no threat to Finland and had been friendly towards it.
And, as Russia comes nearer and nearer to winning in Ukraine the America’s proxy-war, NATO military alliance is panicking as it contemplates becoming even more involved in this fight than they already are, and the two main proposals being discussed by the NATO countries are to send their troops into Ukraine to join the war directly, and to send into Ukraine the types of weapons that it has been pleading for in order to be able to make this war as destructive to Russia as possible. But, now, Russia has laid down the gauntlet, saying that if either of those two measures occurs, then NATO itself will suffer great consequences.
On May 28, 2024, Russia’s RT News headlined Putin warns West about consequences of long-range strikes on Russia from Ukraine, and he said that “these representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries, should be aware of what they are playing with,” when they talk of such measures.
That same day, RT also headlined NATO training for nuclear strike on Russia – general, and reported:
“NATO nations are preparing for possible nuclear strikes on Russia, a senior Moscow general has warned.
Vladimir Kulishov, the first deputy director of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), and head of the country’s Border Guard Service, outlined threats that his branch has to deal with in an interview with RIA Novosti.
‘NATO intelligence operations close to the Russian border are on the rise. Forces of the alliance are intensifying military training, in which they work out military scenarios against the Russian Federation, including nuclear strikes on our territory,’ he told the news agency.”
On May 27th, a slew of articles portrayed some of America’s colonies becoming even less enthusiastic to be part of America’s war against Russia than they had been before:
EU state’s [Hungary’s] FM claims Ukrainian men fear ‘certain death’.
So, will Finland now fulfil the promise it had made to become the closest of all locations to allow U.S. nukes to be placed against Moscow? After all, if Finland were secretly to offer a bilateral peace treaty with Russia, then how much would Russia be willing to offer Finland in order to make it occur, given that the first NATO country to quit the organization might ultimately turn into the first of many countries to want similar deals?
This 21st Century is likely to be the Eur-Asian Century, and the American Century actually ended around 25 years ago. Looking to the future, should European states remain colonies of the U.S. empire, or instead become free, independent, and sovereign countries who trade freely with Russia, China, and the rest of Asia?
