>World Bank/IMF strips Russian state assets and privatize them on the international market for Wall Street to make bank on and for Russian oligarchs to form over
>enables the rise of the chauvinist Putin along the way
>Almost verbatim follow Zbig Brezenski's Grand Chessboard and Neocon policies by:
>Expanding NATO borders despite the super sophomoric level understanding to know this would antagonize Russia (see book and articles below on this)
>Unilaterally leave ABM treaty
>Continue to refuse to pledge no-first use nuclear weapons doctrine
>Derail re-negotiation of Biological Weapons Convention (which still has a budget less than 2 million/year and zero oversight and inspection capabilities)
>Place US forces in center of Central Asia (Afghanistan, support bases in Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan)
>Totally lie about need to invade and wage huge war in Iraq for strict geopolitical hard power purposes
>Openly state in own policy documents and books this is all to maintain global American hegemony for the entire 21st century
>Consolidated American corporate press lies through its teeth to brainwash the American public into making them think that all the other major powers actions are unprovoked acts of revisionist aggression

American imperialism has jeopardized the greatest potential moment to create world peace by enabling the rise of despots like Putin and giving him and others national leaders ample reasons to suspect that the US was going to try to murder them eventually and destroy their nations. Our current era is either going to end in a nuclear holocaust, a global totalitarian state, or a multi-polar order formed after the hanging of American elites Nuremberg style.
