condalisa rice is back one of the worst and most hawkish neocons of the early 2000s just wrote a long article in foreign affairs the ideological Mothership of these creatures from hell this is noteworthy for two reasons a the timing and the subtext in light of the upcoming presidential elections and B for the Unapologetic neocon worldview that these people still toed out even after Decades of their failed but Blood Stained foreign policies so to understand is better let's have a look at the text and what we can learn from it I'm talking about this article here The Perils of isolationism the world still needs America and America still needs the World by condalisa rice and just in case you forgot who uh kis condalisa rice person is she was the uh the 66th secretary of state of the United States from 2005 until 2009 under the second uh George W Bush Administration for the second term uh of George W bush and under the first George W Bush Administration when the when they went into Afghanistan and into Iraq when they did all of these crimes she was the National Security adviser for for that team so she held the position that currently Jake Sullivan has as one of the of the main ideologues of the White House at the time she's the person who who was so proud back in the early 2000 pres when she came out and said that now finally the United States has a grand strategy and the grand strategy is basically to dominate everything and everyone and a a lot of the horrors that we are seeing in the Middle East and that we have been seeing over the past 20 25 years are um at a good amount of her doing she's one of the main people who who uh made sure that then the the Middle East became this this absolute uh catastrophe and and one country after another from from Afghanistan over Iraq and uh and Libya and Syria and so on kept falling one after another and she was at the beginning of that uh uh of of that movement now condalisa rice in foreign affairs is noteworthy because she doesn't write there very often uh she only had three articles in this in this magazine the first first one she wrote at the very beginning of her Stellar Ascent to the highest levels of white house policymaking uh in the year 2000 that was when she wrote about her campaign 2000 promoting the national interest and then she wrote again toward the very end of her of her tenor when she was about to go out as the um secretary uh Secretary of State or in her last year when she wrote about rethinking the national interest and now she's back again with the Perils of isolationism and you can probably imagine what this uh article will argue for uh but in let's let's have a look at it you know when you read articles like these there are it's a long article it's many pages uh on my on my little PDF here it's 28 pages and if you if you go through them it always makes sense to start at the end because that's where they try to really drive the point home right everything else channels you towards these last couple of sentences when they try to uh with the full weight of the entire essay try to convince you of something she argues that if the 19th century and early 20th centuries taught Americans anything it is this other great Powers don't mind their own business instead they seek to shape the global order the future will be determined by the alliance of democratic free market States or it will be determined by the revisionist powers Hawking back to a day of territ torial Conquest abroad and authoritarian practices at home there is simply no other option exactly what you would expect from anoon she she creates the manikan world in where where you have good and evil on two sides and the decision of the United States of America is whether it wants to stand up to evil and fight for light or whether it will withdraw and let the world sink into utter chaos and burn because of negligence that's how dumb it is but it is it is that argument on on 28 or 24 25 Pages um I yeah it's laughable if it wasn't so dramatic because these people actually do hold power um and again like let me just show you also these uh two minutes of speech that she gave 13 years ago so around the year 2010 when she still defended the Iraq War and she is doing that to this day to this day she says like no no no no Iraq it was a very important War it was was was was was really clear that we had to go in and in 2010 she argued like this on a rock books have been written as you know many many books documentaries have been made about how intelligence was incorrectly analyzed and cherry-picked about bu on argument for war and memos from that time do suggest that officials knew there was a small chance of actually finding weapons of mass destruction in Iran well wait a second what there's there's some things that seem to suggest that up in the buildup to to the actual war that there was some doubt about that wouldn't you say that no well actually I don't agree with that all even with when Tony Blair met with the president in Washington you always are you 100% sure when you're dealing with an opaque secretive country in which there have been no inspections for years no you're not 100% sure but the preponderance of intelligence analysis the preponderance of intelligence analysis from around the world was that he had had weapons of mass destruction we knew he had used weapons of mass destruction that was not a theoretical proposition he used them against the Kurds against the Kurds against the Shia uh against the Iranians so he'd used them uh several times and uh the preponderance of intelligence was that he was reconstituting or had actually in the intelligence estimate reconstituted his biological and chemical capabilities there was some debate about how far he had gotten on the nuclear front some saying that with foreign help it could be a year others saying it would be several years so uh no it's simply not the case that there was um if you in in a position of decision making uh evidence to say that uh it was likely that he did not have weapons of mass destruction now um what we found seed is thinking that when you're in a position of decision making that's where she was in and she saw it as part of her of her duty to make sure that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died because she wasn't sure that he didn't have weapons of mass destruction that was the mindset of the early 2000s of the unipolar moment she reigned in Washington or she was among the top class of people who reigned in a foreign policy World during the that uni poar moment when the United States could do something like this just by arguing that they were not sure because as ramsfeld told us the uh the absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence that was the catchphrase and it a stupid topological a dumb catchphrase but it that was used and it was enough to actually have their way and invade not only Afghanistan but then also Iraq um Afghanistan with you uh Security Council consent afan Iraq without it and this is this was this this this mentality of utter impunity that even if your decisions are based on factually wrong information that nothing will happen to you and nothing did happen to her she did become the president of the Hoover institution or the sorry she might also just be the president the the president of the board but you know she this very very lucrative life that she was she was living after being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people including uh going right into private business after uh finishing her her four years as Secretary of State he became uh a founding partner of Rise Headley and Gates an international strategic consulting firm based in Silicon Valley and Washington DC The Firm works with senior Executives of major companies to implement strategic plans and expand in Emerging Markets this woman then went straight into selling access the access that she got by being for eight years in these highest positions and getting the phone numbers and email addresses of all of these important um Statesmen from around the world and then set that access to private companies and making millions without doubt Millions tens of millions um to the point where in 2022 she even became a part owner of the Denver Broncos did you know any Denver Broncos fans there I mean condalisa rise owns part of that thing now um yeah and this is and now she's even parked at the Hoover institution you know as if though these people don't already have enough money but then they also need the positions right for the self-esteem and and in order to show off how important they still are even after uh retiring and so she now writes this article here on the Paris of isolationism and um obviously she's doing that in order to position herself against the rhetoric of Donald uh Donald Trump which is highly interesting because Donald Trump is now the front runner again for the for the Republicans right for the for the he is the nominee for the presidential election and kolis arise was of course serving under a republican President George W Bush Jr but by now we've seen this realignment happening in both parties in which basically the proar faction of the uh of the neocons in the Republican party has moved away and has started endorsing of course Kamala Harris and the the Democratic party the few figureheads that were anti-war and anti- interventionism abroad and anti- forever Wars tulsy gabard and most importantly now um uh Mr Kennedy they moved towards Mr Trump so an a complete inverse inversion basically of the foreign policy stances the classical foreign policy stances of these parties because Donald Trump managed to Rally the Republican party or the Republican base let's say around the aidea of ending the forever Wars and what the Democrats are doing and people like her the conservatives who still want to want to warmonger and bomb every single country on Earth that doesn't uh precisely execute us demands they're branding this strain um as isolationists that if you are not willing to have another war in Iraq in the Middle East and and if you're not willing to go and bomb hundreds of thousands of people then you are an isolationist that's the trick that's happening this is of course also something that stands in stark contrast to the United States uh history of actually using neutrality policy ever since uh George Washington in 1793 in order to not be sucked into Wars all over the world uh which then was abandoned in 1941 and never came back and condalisa Rise is proud of this history of 80 years of warmongering um everywhere anywhere and in trying to dominate the world and this is this is very clear from from how she writes so let's just go through a couple of her um of her depictions here for instance she starts by setting the stage of making sure that people do not think of what's currently going on as a second Cold War that's one of the points where I agree with her she writes that today's favorite analy is the Cold War the United States again faces an adversary that has Global reach and insatable Ambitions with China taking the place of the Soviet Union but China is not the Soviet Union uh and she continues drawing a picture in which she says that we are closer again to the to a 19th century uh uh uh moment so she does to an extent recognize multipolarity although she herself lapses then back into a pure Cold War and post-cold War mentality um she says that the imperialism of the late 19 18th century now as then revisionist powers are acquiring territory through force and the international order is breaking down so painting this picture that we are that we are back again in an in a in a moment where we could go to the inter War period and that uh us leadership is needed and by leadership she means of course military leadership it's that's the only thing that these people uh can think about because they think in terms of domination of course they fluffy they fluff it up and try to package this message as as a a form of trying to bring peace to the world but the peace is only what they accept as peace and and what they accept as okay political reality anything else anyone who doesn't want to go along needs to be bombed needs to be killed needs to be eradicated these are really the worst kind of people that the uh the hemony of the United States and his military power swept to the surface then she talks about xiin ping and how and what kind of threat China is beijing's aggressive military activities around Taiwan she she talks about those and about strategic ambiguity how this is a problem and how the United States need to needs to help this little democracy and so on and that the growth in China's nuclear Arsenal is also alarming she does this very typical thing that you can see like for the last 15 years and this threat inflation of how China is dangerous and how they ever grow their their their Arsenal and their and their War making capacities this sentence of uh increasingly belligerent or increasingly assertive China that keeps popping up again and again for at least 10 years now uh in all kinds of uh Western media in order to to uh create this sense of threat to uh to the United States to the world right because if repetition is key in order to uh bring across a message and the the propaganda in the west which is not centrally organized propaganda it's decentralized propaganda but it has institutionalized certain images and this is one of them this threat inflation that China is of course super dangerous right and the only way to counter a super dangerous evil empire on the other side of the Pacific is by gearing up yourself and and take on the burden take on the duty the backpack of uh being a good and Civilized Nation in order to stand up to autocrats that's the the the Eternal Spiel of these people which is hard to me that to believe that people fall for this but they do which is why we need to point this out uh time and again she writes that it is hard to overstate the shock and sense of betrayal that gripped United States leaders US policy toward China was always something of an experiment with proponents of economic engagement betting that it would induce political reform we must remember that she still uh was she was National Security adviser at the beginning when also the the China joined the WTO and back then the whole the whole idea of these people was or at least that's what they're saying now they're saying that they wanted to to induce political reform by integrating China into the world economy and they expected and not only expected but demanded demanded a change in China's uh leadership structure in return for uh integrating it into the uh Western Global um market economy and this is It's really interesting that she writes that it is hard to overstate the shock and sense betrayal that gripped her and others that China didn't that China dared to have a different political system even after it was integrated because integrating China was done by the grace and and of of of the selfless United States and the selfless West but China refused to change that evil entity in the East it seemed inevitable that China would change internally since economic liberalization and political control were ultimately incompatible that was the belief apparently she came to power agreeing with this Maxim but not in the way the West had hoped instead economic liberalization he chose political control and that's the Betrayal that's the Betrayal that China dared to have a different political system not surprisingly the United States eventually reversed course a bipartisan agreement emerged that China's Behavior was unacceptable as a result the United States technological decoupling from China is now well underway so can you see how this framing is happening that um that decoupling from China is ultimately China's M uh mistake of course and is is to blame solely on China because China refused to to adhere to us expectations and US demands for a different regime type this is this is as neocon as it gets and these people don't even I I think they don't even comprehend how how utterly uh uh uh how how how this comes down from this high horse and how this this demand is just ridiculous that it should be the United States that that that tells other other countries how they run their show but this is how they think and not doing so is an insult to them as they write in their essays well then she goes on and she writes a bit about the the Russian Empire reborn and this is a story that we all that we all super familiar with right you never mentioned the maidan you never mention all of the meddling us meddling and and and Western meddling inside Ukraine you start history um with the 2014 annexation of Crimea and then uh with the fullscale invasion in 2022 and you create The Narrative of Russia just being a um revisionist Power that wants to re rebuild the Russian Empire or um maybe even the Soviet Union but then she still has this need of constantly belittling Russia and telling them how how bad things are going um Putin's Gambit has produced a strategic alignment among Europe and and Europe and among Europe and the United States and much of the rest of the world leading to extensive sanctions against Russia it is now an isolated and heavily militarized state so this is this is just a fantasy world in which they're living in right I mean the only ones who who put sanctions on Russia are North America uh US and Canada um NATO States and a couple of other European States Jaan Korea and I think Singapore that's about it that's about the extend and then a couple of others do do some sanctions because of second um the the the chances of secondary sanctions like the EUR um United Arab Emirates on on on Russia's banking sector but that's it the Russia is anything but isolated Vladimir Putin does travel to to East and Southeast Asia he does travel to China he travels to Africa he's able to go to many different places and and and these and leaders from these Global South countries go and visit Russia Russia is currently building together with the bricks an alternative way and alternative system to uh interact in the world through the this Glo the global infrastructure but that's something that these people either they don't see it or they actively try to ignore it because they want to paint a picture right they they do not report reality they try to fabricate a reality um which then serves their argument um and again the belittling of Russia the embarrassing first year of the war exposed the weakness of the Russian Armed Forces so she does what we we know that these people do they they constantly talk up the threat of Russia and China but then they also belittle them and tell tell us that their economies are doing doing poorly that their regimes are unstable and that it's you know that they are structurally um meant to fail in the future uh and that old the West needs to do is to push a little bit more in in that direction that's actually where she lapses back into the Cold War mentality she says that Russia's talented Central Banker elira na nabul nabina has covered up many of the economy of the economy's vulnerabilities walking a tight rope without access to the 300 billion frozen assets held in the west and China has stepped in to take off some of the pressure so the way she explains that Russia is not yet uh bankrupt and and begging for a world Bank uh bailout is that they she had Russia luckily has one capable uh female Central banker and China is the big brother who who helps out uh with anything so that's that's the explanatory model that they have that these sanctions that they' be putting on Russia are failing and in their little world this serves of course two purposes one again um saying that Russia is is ruling by imbeciles except for a couple of uh of uh exceptions that they can that they can actually admit and um China you can put the blame for Russia not failing on China whereby you connect these two theaters that you want to have anyhow it's it's it's a beautiful little narrative for as dumb as it is uh and then again back to the CH to China threat because condalisa rise obviously subscribes to the idea that the real threat is China it's not Russia she starts with China and she comes back to China all the time Beijing cannot let Putin loose but likely has no real enthusiasm for his adventurism on behalf of a new Russian empire particularly if it if it puts China in the crosshairs of secondary sanction is in its own struggling economy so she's starting to build up the argument that if you just also put enough sanctions on China and and push China enough then they will break with Russia and then you can finally let Russia die a natural death that's how they see the world but it gets really really interesting when we get a little bit further down to how she sees the crumbling order um the current order coming down because that's their big fear right the United States is not scared of not getting more power it's it's scared of losing power it's scared of not being the top dog anymore and this is the section in which this comes out most clearly read this look at this this sentence the post World War II liberal order was a direct response to the horrors of the inter War period let let this think in for a moment the post World War II liberal order was a direct response to the horrors of the interal period usually when somebody says that you know the way that the post Second World War uh uh International world was structured was a response to the horrors of the second world war right you quote the horrors of the second world war because you had tens of millions of people who died in the second world war she doesn't talk about those Horrors the death of tens of millions of people is not the horror the horror is the inter War period which because it was between Wars was actually peaceful right but that's the horror and why is that the horror because the absence of the United States as a kind of offshore mediator contributed to the breakdown of the previous uh of the previous order because in this inter War period so we're talking 1919 to uh 1939 and during these 20 years Asian and European powers left to their own devices fell into catastrophic conflict the horror is that the United States in the interval period did not become the the um haimon that it is today that actually after the first world war when the United States briefly for one and a half years fought in Europe that it went back to the United States and actually minded its own business and because it didn't interfere anymore in the globe that's then how we got the second world war because Asian and European powers are too dumb too stupid too uh incapable of um of managing their own Affairs that's why you need the benevolent force of the United States which then brings peace and after the second world war the United States learned that lesson and we had Eternal peace for the last 80 years oh wait a second um well let's I mean Let's ignore all of the wars the United States imposed on other countries but apart from all of those Wars it was Blissful peace everywhere in the world that's the mindset of these sick bastards after World War II the United States and its allies built an economic order that was no longer zerum game so here here we go into um Laing and applauding the wisdom of the United States of building a good order a good Cold War order which was so incredibly peaceful she continues globalization will continue in some form but the sense that it is a positive force has lost steam so she start starts talking about globalization here and how that the uh what the world looked like when she was was working on it and then she in in the 2000s and then she keeps lapsing back into the Cold War because she has another um another section talking about the lessons of the Cold War and how George kennan's Long Telegram of 1946 um the idea of containment of an adversary should be revived again um should should be revived again now today she says Russia's internal contradictions are obvious Putin has undone 30 plus years of Russian integration into the international economy and relies on a network of opportunistic states that throw crumbs his way to sustain the regime no one knows how long the shell of Russian greatness can survive viive but it can do a lot of harm before it cracks resisting and deterring Russian military aggression is essential until it does this is like again she's just expecting Russia to end the way the Soviet Union ended by like breaking apart itself because of internal contradictions so you see that these people even even when they say that we that they recognize it's not a cold war anymore that they still live in a cold war mentality and that they live in a in a mentality of rean domination if we just outspend everybody else everybody else is going to crack um because the United States is the only country that lives without internal uh contradictions and that has unlimited power and unlimited resources um while all of all of the other states especially the big ones um also with all with nuclear weapons they will implode by themselves these people have learned the absolute wrong lesson of history and they try to lecture everybody else on History Putin counts on a cowed and poorly informed population and his regime indoctrinates young people in ways that are reminiscent of Hitler Youth it's these kind of these kind of statements are just as bad as they get she's she's also one of those who Compares Putin to Hitler and and and thinks that he's the only reason why Russia is doing what it does and I again I don't know whether she believes this nonsense which people who who worked in the state department and who are much smarter than her could have told her like Jack Matlock like like the George Kennan whom she quoted at the very beginning these people opposed NATO expansion these people were against uh against triumphalism these people were they didn't want the the 2000s the 1990s to play out the way they did and they were utterly right but she even uses these people then to say like look um what they said at the beginning of the Cold War should apply now and then they ignore all of the all of the other important things that that people who actually wanted stability uh said later on it's really really sad and again like the the hubris and the the nerve of these people is incredible just look at this Russia Russia's human potential has always been great despite what often seems like a deliberate plot by its leaders to destroy it it is incumbent on the United States Europe and others to keep some connections to the Russian people Russians should be allowed when possible to study and work abroad they should be allowed the United States and and Europe the satellites should be should be should have the grace should have the heart and the the kindness to embrace some Russians who should be allowed to somewhat get an education and study they really think that they are the only ones able to uh to provide a good education that they they do think that this is an an adequate way of talking about um the population of of of another great power that's why that's why these people have no reverse gear as uh as Alex Kristof keeps saying in his in his videos on the Duran that they they believe in this in this megalomaniac worldview that it is upon them to bestow things on others H and and and that there is no other independent agency except for them China's future is by no means as Bleak as russas isn't it that nice to know um another contradiction stems from the coexistence of capitalism and authoritarian communism in China because her analysis is that she has turned out to be a true Marxist China's golden age of private sector lad growth has slowed in large part because of the Chinese Communist party's anxiety by alternative sources of power China used to lead the world in online education and startups but in 2021 the government cracked down on them because it could not reliably monitor their content a once thriving enter R preneurial culture was withered away she here talks about this incident in which China really uh cracked down on its online education space because it uh the because the the CCP didn't didn't appreciate anymore all of these uh all of the pressure being put on on school children with uh after school online learning and um it also cracked down on the the the gaming space and so on and the China just showed several times that it is willing to crack down on on certain branches of the economy that it thinks is negative for the development of the nation and this is Unthinkable for free marketeers and and and crony capitalists like condalisa rice who think that it is the economy that should steer the the boat of the state and that that the state has to do everything and anything in service of helping uh capitalist to make even more money than they already have China has a different model and the CH and Chinese Scholars have been pointing out that while China is a market economy it is not a capitalist country because the capitalists do not have power over the political process it's the other way around the polit the political leaders have power over the capitalists and whenever one of the capitalists like Jack ma get a little bit too powerful they will be cracked down upon uh relentlessly and if they if they don't give in then that's it for them now I'm not saying that I'm happy with this that's uh that model obviously also has its problems but it is again very fascinating that condalisa R is one of these people who cannot accept that right and who uses that as an analysis of why China will fail eventually because obviously only a system that is designed after the one that the United States has can be a successful system anything else is doomed to fail that's how these people work um and then again like uh the she comes to toward the end what the United States must do the United States needs to maintain the defense capabilities sufficient to deny China Russia or Iran their strategic goals the war in Ukraine has revealed weakness in the US defense industrial base that must be uh remedied so please send more weapons give us more money for weapons critical reforms need to be made to the defense budgeting process uh which is inadequate to this task we need more money we need more weapons we need more war is what she's saying but also that Beyond milit capabilities the United States must rebuild the other element of diplomatic toolkit such as information operations that have eroded since that have eroded since the Cold War um she's saying like outright like we need to do more propaganda abroad right um we need to do more scops and we need to control foreign populations with the information that we're giving them we are currently not doing enough of that although the US is doing heaps of it and if you just open the New York Times or any uh or any newspaper in Europe actually you see how the information this information operations are working beautifully so she's a she's a she's the worst imperialist one of the worst imperialists in the US and she's writing about it like very proudly as if though she's giving us great world analysis while she accuses all of the other powers of being imperialists right but it gets very good again um here when we also see how she either again lives in a fantasy world or she um really has that that kind of bad uh um bad assessment of world affairs read this the good news is that given the behavior of China and Russia the United States allies are ready to contribute to the common defense many countries in the asia-pacific region including Australia the Philippines and Japan recognize the threat and appear committed to addressing it um so she's happy that other allies are now um obviously want seem to want to do more including um Finland and Sweden that signed up for um suicide and and self-destruction within NATO um and she had she still recommends that Ukraine should join NATO uh and the European Union as if though joining the European Union had never been a problem um Russia was never against Ukrainian accession of the European Union it was always about NATO and she still um they still double down again no uh no reverse gear but the interesting thing is that when she starts uh enumerating all of the Allies she includes Vietnam and you know you remember C day Vietnam is North Vietnam of back in the Vietnam War it's the former US um foe number one Vietnam 2 appears willing to contribute given its own strategic um concerns with China the challenge will be to turn the Ambitions of us partners into sustained commitment once the cost of enhanced defense capabilities become clear and I highlight this sentence with Vietnam because you know Vietnam is doing its bamboo diplomacy it's doing both it's playing with China it's it's it's it's playing with China is playing with the United States in the sense of interacting with them of buying weapons from from from everywhere it's it works with Russia it works with everybody it's not signed up to the US um us design of fighting more Wars through proxies but she just by seeing that Vietnam is um is diplomatically interacting with the United States automatically interprets this as Vietnam now being in the US boat because these people cannot imagine that other countries might play with several Powers might might be friends with everybody and might try to avoid polarization in their in their worldview if somebody plays with us they're on our side and or with the other side because they think in black and white and then again that she also says here that uh the US must think about how to bind the satellite States uh Japan Germany and so on more closely to themselves in order to deploy their uh their military might directly against adversaries right that's what she means when she talks talks about enhanced defense capabilities that need to be used and committed um to to us objectives it's really really scary that these people tell us straight into our faces that what they want to do is is have closer control over uh over their so-called allies which by now are really just vassel states that the US tries to De deploy um in in its military schemes and they tell us that they tell us so in other other words but they this this is the design and she says the main question hanging over the International System today is where does America stand again everything hwks back to the United States everything revolves around the United States the US is the sun and the moon and the stars and the question is do the Sun and the Moon at the stars know what they want or are they are they are they afraid are they scared and she comes to her grand conclusion which I already read out to you uh it is really scary and you know these people she has she's not in power now but this she's a main ideologue she's a pope of the neocons um she's she's beloved by many of them she's she's admired she teaches she she is a great Elder States woman um and these people have have power in in their kind of vision of the of the world has power and it's just scary to see how these how they either have learned nothing of all of their horrible crimes that they committed or even worse they are fully aware of what they did and they want to do more because domination is the only thing they want while accusing everybody else of being guilty of their own sins pure projection um and this is these are just the people we have to deal with and and we have to keep an eye on I don't know if we can ever wrestle power away from them uh we'll see thank you for your attention [Music]
