The U.S. Monopoly Is Over

Barack Оbama has come to power during difficult times for America.

Today this country is hated for its policies, especially Bush’s policies. Barack Оbama gives some kind of hope, but it is an illusion. He will not be able to improve anything; trying to babble through U.S. foreign and domestic politics, he will make many mistakes.

This person may be a catastrophe for America. He will not be able repeat all of the harm that was done during Bush’s presidency, but he will not make any improvements. Оbama is helpless in terms of important policies. He will not pull out the army from Iraq; he will not be able to create anything in Afghanistan, nor will he solve the outstanding problems in Kosovo.

Of the 140 thousand soldiers that are already in Iraq, maybe five to ten thousand will leave, and that’s why the American military program will proceed without change.

The best proof that no change in the matter of armed conflicts will be made is the nomination of Robert Gates for the post of Secretary of Defense. If Оbama would have nominated someone who is not connected with the “Ministry of Military Production” in the U.S., then there may have been a chance for a change. In some sense, John McCain’s victory would have been more favorable

The former team has already worked on, and created, negative outcomes in left-behind-by-Clinton Yugoslavia, and in Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine and Georgia. From these negatives, we have been able to create positives – recognition of Abkhazian and Ossetian independence, forced normal European gas prices on Ukraine.

In his speech, Obama has stated only general phrases about the need for disarmament, security, democracy and aid for the less fortunate. But these phrases are present in any inauguration speech. He has not given any assessment of, and has not taken any responsibility for, what is currently happening as a result of America’s mistakes. However, he has finally admitted that the USA has lost confidence. During the inauguration, Оbama mentioned the main enemy of America. Addressing the Islamic world, he has marked: “we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” But no one will unclench their fist in front of America: first pull out all of your troops. Besides, he kept silent about Iraq.

Obama must understand that the U.S. monopoly is over. America cannot be the only dominant power; the economy of this country cannot be held up as the standard, and the American dollar cannot be the tool of American policy. America does not have its own manufacturing industry. Without the disposal of a few extra dollars, it is impossible to improve the U.S. economy. And this effortlessly earned currency can be disposed of through war. In that sense, Оbama is a war President. The fate of Gorbachev awaits Obama., and as did Gorbachev, Obama will resign in the year 2010 or 2011 in the midst of waves of protests in America: “Promised but did not deliver!”

As a solution to the economic crisis, America needs to form a strategic union with Russia. They need a reliable power supply, since their war with the Muslim world will last for the next hundred years, and there is a danger that delivery from the near east will be interrupted. With us, they can receive a reliable guarantee of power resources. We can also help with restraining the Islamic world.

To us and to America, the high price of oil is valuable. It will weaken the European Union, and a weaker China and India will be just as beneficial to them as to us.

However, with Obama’s arrival, for us, there will most likely not be any improvements. In place of Saakashvili in Georgia, Alasania, a trained agent of the CIA, will take over. In Ukraine, instead of Yushchenko, Timoshenko will take charge and nothing will change.

Оbama will return to hard anti-Russian rhetoric. They will criticize us in the realms of energy, democracy and human rights. They want to return to the Yeltsin times, and they want us to refuse a firm regime. It is in fact necessary for us to strengthen our regime and our foreign policies even more.
