The Neoconservative Threat to World Order
DR PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS | FEBRUARY 28, 2015
This
week I was invited to address an important conference of the Russian
Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Scholars from Russia and from around the
world, Russian government officials, and the Russian people seek an
answer as to why Washington destroyed during the past year the friendly
relations between America and Russia that President Reagan and President
Gorbachev succeeded in establishing. All of Russia is distressed that
Washington alone has destroyed the trust between the two major nuclear
powers that had been created during the Reagan-Gorbachev era, trust that
had removed the threat of nuclear Armageddon. Russians at every level
are astonished at the virulent propaganda and lies constantly issuing
from Washington and the Western media. Washington’s gratuitous
demonization of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has rallied the
Russian people behind him. Putin has the highest approval rating ever
achieved by any leader in my lifetime.
Washington’s
reckless and irresponsible destruction of the trust achieved by Reagan
and Gorbachev has resurrected the possibility of nuclear war from the
grave in which Reagan and Gorbachev buried it. Again, as during the Cold
War the specter of nuclear Armageddon stalks the earth.
Why
did Washington revive the threat of world annihilation? Why is this
threat to all of humanity supported by the majority of the US Congress,
by the entirety of the presstitute media, and by academics and
think-tank inhabitants in the US, such as Motyl and Weiss, about whom I
wrote recently?
It
was my task to answer this question for the conference. You can read my
February 25 and February 26 addresses below. But first you should
understand what nuclear war means. You can gain that understanding here.
The Threat Posed to International Relations by the Neoconservative Ideology of American Hegemony,

Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State Institute
of International Relations, Moscow, February 25, 2015, Hon. Paul Craig
