Beginning of the 1980s brought decisive superiority in military capacity of the USA. This was due to the general use of electronics in the military service, weapon systems, surveillance and espionage that the Soviet Union was unable to match.
Gorbachev, in an effort to overall military confrontation and because of his hate for Socialism, as he himself confessed, he gave up and abandoned the Soviet Union to US and world imperialism.
Historically, the world has an example. Munich! As it was then, it is now, peace was saved for a while. Not for generations as was promised.
The farce of President Clinton and Monica, the suckling pig that hit all the news and TV all over the world—this was just a diversion, while Clinton ordered the pulverizing of Yugoslavia.
But, for US imperialism Perestroyka of Gorbachev and Yakovlev was not moving fast enough. It had to be prodded into action. And here comes the Chernobyl Disaster in Ukraine. Does anyone believe now the story about an unauthorized experiment conducted by some Soviet scientists? Hardly! At least not those scientists who know the risks involved. The safety controls at the Chernobyl Power Station were crippled by a USA satellite hanging above Chernobyl.
The story about that “experiment” was made up a year after the disaster and then some minor and obscure “scientists” were put on trial and symbolically sentenced. The real story will surely come out sooner than later and the world will judge the real criminals in this Chernobyl Disaster.
Oh yes, but the way, how come we do not know the whole truth about the Three Mile Island disaster, which is still spilling poisonous radiation? Is it not patriotic for the US citizens to know what happened and who was responsible?
So, Gorbachev's Perestroika started to move again, getting rid of factories, enterprises, collective and state farms — destroying the whole economy build up by people and hardships for millions upon millions of people.
Knowing the Russian and Soviet peoples sturdiness and resilience (remember Napoleon, The Czar, Hitler — all of these tyrants found that out!) So will Bush find this out.
It seems that there is some recovery and international standing of Russia now. We just hope that the present leadership of Russia will not follow the path of previous satraps.
Now, when United States promoted Globalization turned ugly, the West needed allies, and for their plans, everyone was good enough. Any satraps who was willing to stick their national flags and souls besides the US Stars ad Stripes was a friend.
As was the case in London in 1980s of Gorbachev, so now President Putin was called to Bratislava, Slovakia, to have a friendly chat with that war criminal President Bush. So, after some previous huddles in Brussels and Berlin, came the meeting in Bratislava. It is interesting as how these two leaders addressed each other. For Bush, Putin was called “Vladimir”, while Putin addressed Bush as “Mr. President”. Lord and Servant!
Whatever was negotiated we do not know for certain, we can only guess. But apparently for once Putin rejected the US-NATO Diktat. The sale of uranium fuel to Iran was signed by Putin the very next day, after the Summit. Russia is also building nine more nuclear reactors in Iran in the near future. That is at least, on the surface symbolic opposition to Uncle Sam.
During the meeting in Bratislava, it was interesting to follow the local media, gloating about the importance of Slovak position in world affairs. This whole affair reminds us of times after Munich diktat. Then, as know, these satraps of Hitler's Third Reich dragged the Slovak nation into the Second World War alongside Hitler, at that time a powerful leader. As then, and now, the history will repeat itself and these criminals will stand trial as the others did at Nuremberg. They will get their deserved punishment. Remember that Mr. Bush! History will judge you. That day will come!
