Who Needs Russia?

Posted by Matt in August 23rd, 2008

Does the United States really need Russia? According to many pundits, we need Russia more than it needs us. Russia could cause a lot of problems if we’re not careful.

I say bunk to that nonsense. It’s time to throw down the gauntlet. If Russia is going to terrorize its neighbors and exercise strategic unhelpfulness on a consistent basis, then it’s time America start confronting Russia directly.

How so?

America needs to start arming Russia’s neighbors so that they can defend themselves from the neighborhood bully - Russia.

America should give the G-8 an ultimatum, either they throw out Russia or America is going to leave.

America needs to be clear to European countries that they must work together to stop buying Russian energy. I would make it clear that the national security of European nations is at stake. If the European nations won’t work together to cut out Russia as a source of energy, and thereby funding the Russian threat, then why should America defend them? It’s time to rethink America’s defense of Western Europe.

Finally, I would start building our nuclear arsenal again. Unfortunately, America has made a huge strategic mistake in cutting nuclear weapons. Also, America has made a monumental blunder in assuming that Russia would not be willing initiate a nuclear war. One can figure this out because of the massive underground nuclear bunkers that Russia has built. The only use for these bunkers is if Russia initiates a nuclear war. Otherwise they’re useless.

The solution to this problem is to develop weapon systems that would only be used two or three years after a nuclear war. This is in addition to immediate retaliation. We need to make it clear to Russia that if they start a nuclear war then they will get hit several years after the war is over.

From the article:

The United States should make a clear-eyed assessment of the fruits of strategic cooperation.

This was a small and unsurprising event in the annals of Russian diplomatic history. But it’s worth noting as the United States and its European allies consider how to reshape relations with Russia in the wake of its Aug. 7 invasion of Georgia. A common theme of commentary since the war began has been that the United States is constrained in its condemnation of — or sanctions against — Russia because it needs Russia too much in areas ranging from counterterrorism to checking the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran. But you can’t lose what you never had, and it’s fair to question how much help Russia has been providing in any of those areas, even before Aug. 7.

Colin Powell Disses McCain on Georgia Russia Conflict
From CNN's The Next President: A World of Challenges, Powell pretty well slaps McCain for his statements about Georgia here: AMANPOUR: Except for, General Powell, it basically hopes that Russia is not going to be the aggressor. And if Russia is and you have to, you know, keep your NATO allies' security, aren't you then committed? POWELL: Under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which is the NATO Treaty, when one member of the alliance is attacked from abroad -- meaning outside the NATO geographic limits -- then all members of NATO treat that as an attack. AMANPOUR: And yet... POWELL: Article 5 has only been invoked once in the history of the alliance, and that was on the 12th of September, 2001, when it was invoked in our favor, when the whole NATO alliance said we were attacked, the...

The Stench of Truth (65) war, georgia, russia,Iran
There now is war in Georgia the former Soviet Republic. Georgia has started an engagement with the Russians and now the Russians are moving into Georgia possibly leading to a wider conflict. While this is going on there is a massive buildup of US naval forces heading for the Persian Gulf in anticipation of a possible attack of Iran. Georgia could be a diversion but it might turn out to bite the neo-cons in their butts.
