As many are asking themselves the critical question whether or not President Trump knew in advance about the June 1 Kiev drone attack on Russia’s nuclear strike capabilities, and if there has been any communication about these matters between the White House and the Kremlin, it is useful to recall the circumstances around the 9/11 attack on the United States.
Lyndon LaRouche wrote an article on Dec. 23, 2001, under the headline “Zbigniew Brzezinski and September 11th” in which he analyzed the critical, strategic significance of the phone call made by Russian President Vladimir Putin to U.S. President George W. Bush even as the events were unfolding. Putin expressed solidarity and condolences for the American deaths; he reassured Bush that Russia was standing down its nuclear deterrent forces, to make sure there was no confusion on strategic matters; and he broadcast a televised statement of support, stating, “In the name of Russia, I want to say to the American people—we are with you” in the fight against international terrorism.
LaRouche wrote in his Dec. 23, 2001 article: “My detailed knowledge of the onrushing strategic crisis within which those attacks were situated, allowed no other conclusion, than that this was an attempted military coup d’état with a global strategic purpose of the most ominous implications imaginable.… The worst possible result of this military plot, a potential, runaway thermonuclear-superpower-escalation, was avoided through a timely telephone conversation between U.S. President George W. Bush and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.”
LaRouche continued: “Although the telephone conversation, as repeatedly reported publicly by President Bush, between Bush and Russia’s President Putin, resulted in a failure of the initial nuclear-strategic aims of the attempted coup d’état, the perpetrators of that attempted coup are still roaming free, are still lurking within the high-ranking positions they held on the early morning of Sept. 11, and are still poised to strike, menacing the U.S. government and President, even still today.”
