As you ponder that question, do not lose sight of the fact that Mike Pompeo is a British Empire mole inside the Trump administration who, like Henry Kissinger before him, swears fealty to London, whose policy is confrontation, not cooperation, with Russia and China. And also do not forget that London’s stated intention is to prevent a second Trump administration, by hook or by crook.
Pompeo announced he would be meeting with the UN Security Council president on Aug. 20, to “provide notification of the snapback,” i.e. the U.S. demand that all sanctions against Iran that had been gradually lifted under the JCPOA agreement, be fully reinstated. This, despite the fact that the U.S. unilaterally abrogated and pulled out of the JCPOA years ago. Pompeo proceeded to directly threaten Russia and China with further sanctions against them, if they didn’t go along with the snapback. Needless to say, top officials of Russia and China both promptly rejected Pompeo’s arrogant threats, describing them as “absurd.”
One week ago, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, told a Brookings Institution audience in Washington that the U.S.-China relationship “is going in the wrong direction,” which some describe as a “free fall.” He said that “alarmingly, there are attempts not to negate” the good working relationship that was built up over years between the two countries, at exactly the point that a “raging pandemic and the consequently flagging global economy” require more, not less cooperation. He urged the United States to “work with China and other countries to ensure that the international order and global system will meet the needs of the entire international community,” and to not “let the situation spiral out of control.”
Don’t think for a moment that the British won’t unleash actual warfare to achieve their strategic goals. Helga Zepp-LaRouche took the issue head-on in her Aug. 19 weekly webcast, explaining that some experts “are concerned that a military confrontation between the United States and China is not unthinkable. Some people are even concerned that this may happen before the election—you can easily create an incident, which then Trump would be confronted with, as we have seen many times in the past.”
Zepp-LaRouche concurred: “I think that that is a total danger, that if it would come to such a thing, it could get out of control. And if one studies the logic of nuclear war, the likelihood that it could lead to a general nuclear war, is absolutely given. So, this is a very dangerous situation and does require a complete change in attitude. And the fact that you have the Democrats and people in the Trump Administration, like Pompeo, Esper, Navarro, and so forth, all on this anti-China line, this really should be countered.
“We need the collaboration between the United States and China on all relevant issues — the economy, the pandemic, the world health situation.… We are really looking at the existence of civilization as such.”
Zepp-LaRouche then addressed the solution to the crisis:
“If you look at all the crises, the financial crisis, the economic collapse, the pandemic, the war danger, you cannot solve these problems on a regional level, or just take one problem at a time. You need a completely different approach.
“And as we have repeatedly argued, the only way you can accomplish that, is you have to get the leading governments of the world, or at least a good representation of such governments, to adopt the kind of sweeping reorganization my husband Lyndon LaRouche fought for, for 50 years of his life: You need a New Bretton Woods system, which gives cheap, long-term credit lines for the industrialization of the developing countries, to reindustrialize the United States and Europe, to cooperate with Russia and China in the development of especially Africa, Latin America, Asian countries, to overcome poverty, and the present condition which allowed this pandemic to rage out of control, especially in the so-called Third World.”
That is why a summit meeting of the P-5 leaders, to discuss solutions along the lines specified by Lyndon LaRouche, is the most pressing strategic priority.
