Blinken Is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong About Everything in Helsinki

In welcoming Finland to NATO during a visit to Helsinki on June 2, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech which confirms what a growing number of world leaders believe: His arrogance is matched only by his delusions. The latest in a line of geopoliticians from the Brzezinski school, Blinken seems to believe that those he is addressing have no idea of history, nor of the hypocrisy he displays with virtually every utterance. He is seen as a true believer in a product no one wants, a “Rules-Based Order” (RBO), the rules which have no universal basis, and serve to benefit only Mr. Blinken and those in the “Military-Industrial Complex” who send him out to peddle it.

The main thread of his Helsinki performance, that Putin and Russia are failing, makes clear both how foolish, and dangerous, he and his NATO allies are, in their efforts to turn NATO’s war against Russia into a permanent war, while pushing NATO’s “eastward expansion” to the Pacific, to create a second front against China.

Serious military and intelligence officials have to wonder if he truly believes such nonsense. The general consensus of Pentagon officials, when speaking off the record, as shown in the recent publication of leaked classified documents, is that there is no way Ukraine and NATO can “win” the military confrontation against Russia, and the best-case scenario they can project is tying down Russia in an endless conflict—which happens to be the stated aim of the U.S. Defense Secretary from Raytheon, Lloyd Austin. New economic reports show, however, that what they hoped would be a war of attrition that would wear down the Russian economy, has actually had the opposite effect, of making Russia stronger, while backfiring against the submissive governments of Europe.

The main thread of his Helsinki performance, that Putin and Russia are failing, makes clear both how foolish, and dangerous, he and his NATO allies are, in their efforts to turn NATO’s war against Russia into a permanent war, while pushing NATO’s “eastward expansion” to the Pacific, to create a second front against China.

Blinken spoke glowingly of the “strategic failure” of Putin’s “aggression” against Ukraine. “When you look at President Putin’s long-term strategic aims and objectives, there is no question: Russia is significantly worse off today than it was before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine—militarily, economically, geopolitically” he cluelessly asserted. “Where Putin aimed to project strength, he’s revealed weakness. Where he sought to divide, he unified. What he tried to prevent, he precipitated.”

Serious military and intelligence officials have to wonder if he truly believes such nonsense.

As for Blinken and his NATO allies isolating Russia, again, the opposite has occurred. With the exception of the NATO alliance and its partners in Global NATO from the Five Eyes and Japan, most of the world has rejected supporting sanctions against Russia, and instead is moving away from the collapsing financial system based on the dollar, run by Wall Street and City of London Malthusians. Blinken knows this first-hand, from the lecture he was given by South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Naledi Pandor, who responded to his lecture about defense of the RBO by reminding him that South Africa “is a sovereign nation”, and he should not come there and think he can bully them to drink his “democracy” snake oil!

In fact, in the last months, there has been a near-stampede among nations of the Global South applying for membership in BRICS, knowing full well of Blinken’s open hostility against Russia and China as the two leading partners of BRICS. The support for BRICS has turned what some call the “Global South” into what Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov is calling the “Global Majority.”

As for Blinken’s claim that the U.S. is committed to peace, one can read the article from January 2019 that he co-authored with a neocon war hawk, Robert Kagen, the husband of Victoria Nuland. Published by the Brookings Institute, he defended his call for a robust support for regime change in Syria by arguing that “force can be a necessary adjunct to effective diplomacy.” Leaders of nations making up the Global Majority, who live outside the censorship/media bubble of the West, know that what Blinken was referring to was his support for arming and training Al Qaeda and ISIS to overthrow Assad, just a perfect example of the RBO in practice.
