The 1823 Monroe Doctrine and its First Consequences for Global Politics: The Making the U.S. to be a Global Empire

Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic

The Doctrine (1823)

The doctrine was presented by the 5-th U.S. President James Monroe (1817−1825) in 1823 as an official warning to (West) European powers that any European policy of imperialistic expansionism on the ground of the Americas (North, Central, and South or Anglo-Francophone and Latin, i.e., Spanish & Portuguese) was going to be taken into account by Washington as a threat to the U.S. national interests. In fact, the doctrine proclaimed the Americas as the sole business of the U.S. without any involvement or/and interruption from the outside world. In other words, James Monroe proclaimed the exclusive U.S. economic, financial, and geopolitical rights to deal (exploit) with the Americas (including Canada as well). The doctrine was later extended with practical consequences by both 26-th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (1901−1909) and 28-th U. S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1913−1921) who used it to formally justify American imperialistic policies in several countries from Latin America from Mexico to Colombia.

Драгана Трифковић: Ко је закувао у Русији?

الــوزيرة Trifkovic, مدير مركز الدراسات الجيوستراتيجية

У петак увече када сам слетела из Грозног у Москву након посете Чеченији и упалила мобилни телефон, стигле су ми вести о томе да је у току државни удар. Док смо чекали на искрцавање људи су са неверицом почели да се питају о чему се ради. Руси, иначе увек суздржани у коментарима, почели су да причају о томе како очигледно ствари не функционишу како треба. Мишљења су била подељена. Неки су оптуживали Министарство одбране, а други Јевгенија Пригожина власника приватне војне компаније Вагнер. Када сам са аеродрома Домодедово стигла до центра Москве, већ је била поноћ. Ретки пролазници су коментарисали догађаје са чуђењем, а улицама је патролирала полиција. Мере безбедности су очигледно биле појачане.

As I said, A Nano-Second to Midnight

By Paul Craig Roberts

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova admits, as I predicted would happen, that the Kremlin’s preference for a war of minimum Russian force has resulted in the West raising the stakes and becoming drawn ever deeper into military confrontation. She says, “It is obvious that such a policy, which we see as reckless, is capable of leading to a direct armed clash between nuclear powers.”

U.S.A. and Great Britain For at least two centuries, their elites have used Nazism, racism, and colonialism as tools to ensure their own dominance in different parts of the world

Appeal of Coordinating Board of International Association of Friends of Crimea

Today, Russia finds itself at the forefront of the struggle against global neo-Nazism and neo-colonialism – ugly and, at the same time, legitimate manifestation of capitalism. The flagship of these anti-human policies, imposed on the people, are the U.S.A. and Great Britain. For at least two centuries, their elites have used Nazism, racism, and colonialism as tools to ensure their own dominance in different parts of the world. On top of that, it is these states that have become the undisputed leaders in the use of military force abroad. Thus, out of the 193 member states of the United Nations, 177 have had a foot on the ground of a British or American soldier at one point or another in their history.

Срби на КиМ су препуштени сами себи и немају никакву заштиту од стране сопствене државе

Преносимо саопштење Народног покрета Срба са Косова и Метохије „Отаџбина“

Народни покрет Срба са Косова и Метохије „Отаџбина“ најоштрије осуђује хапшење Драгише Миленковића из места Киснице код Грачанице као и Ненада Орловића из Звечана од стране сепаратистичке владе Аљбина Куртија. Овакв прогон Срба је у складу са програмом Аљбина Куртија који је пре нешто више од десетак дана изјавио да пола Срба на КиМ треба похапсити а другу половину ваља протерати. Интересантно је да за време владавине овог сепаратистичког премијера на десетине Срба је оптужено за наводне ратне злочине. Овај рецепт је преузет пре свега из Хрватске где постоји стварност да су Срби протерани у масовном броју а онда да се не би вратили оптужују се за монтиране ратне злочине по систему „двојица без душе, трећи без главе“.

Why US plan for localized Russia-Ukraine nuclear war doomed to fail

By Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst

Back in early December last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia could adopt a US-style preemptive strike doctrine, stating that „[Russia] is just thinking about it“ and that „[the political West] wasn’t shy to openly talk about it during the past years“. At the time, it seemed that Moscow was simply sending a clear message to the belligerent US-led power pole that was escalating its already extremely hostile policies aimed against Russia. However, things are now much clearer as to why President Putin actually mentioned the possibility of adopting such an unusually offensive concept for the largely defense-oriented Russian military doctrine.

The Ever-Widening War

By Paul Craig Roberts

It was obvious from the beginning that the Kremlin’s “limited military operation” would result in an ever-widening war leading to a nuclear confrontation, and there is no doubt that the conflict has continued to widen.

The latest development brings us closer to the use of nuclear weapons. The F-16s, which Biden said would never be given to Ukraine, have now been given, as I said would happen. Moreover, they are being given in a recklessly gratuitous form. The first shipment of F-16s are aircraft that have modifications that allow them to be armed with nuclear weapons.
