America’s Message to All Nations: ‘Arm up, or we’ll invade you.’

voice.” Do you see the same newspaper,

1:32

the same journalists, but

1:34

conclusions are the exact opposite? What

1:37

changed in three years? Reality, reality

1:40

simply returned and put everything in

1:42

its place. But what can you expect from

1:44

the unprincipled? Still, what’s more

1:47

curious is that this same principle

1:49

applies to entire European countries and

1:52

soon it will cover the whole so-called

1:54

enchanted garden, the Italian miracle.

1:57

Let’s move on to Italy. Remember Italian

1:59

Prime Minister Meloni. In 2023, she was

2:02

irresistible and unstoppable. At a

2:04

meeting in Rome, she promised full

2:06

support for as long as necessary, swore

2:08

it word for word. We are betting on

2:10

victory. It sounded beautiful, decisive,

2:12

convincing. The planet went around the

2:14

sun twice.

2:16

And what do we see? Yesterday, the news

2:18

came in. Italy has suddenly slowed its

2:20

program to purchase American weapons.

2:23

Italy’s foreign minister, Antonio

2:25

Tajani, said, I quote, “Participating

2:27

in the program in light of ongoing peace

2:29

talks is premature. If we reach an

2:32

agreement, weapons will no longer be

2:33

needed. Other measures will be needed.”

2:35

And where is the promised support to the

2:37

last Lasagna? Tajani didn’t specify,

2:40

but it doesn’t matter. Who remembers the

2:42

past gets an eye poked out. Finnish

2:44

flexibility.

2:46

Next up, Finland. At the beginning of

2:49

this year, their leader at the KE summit

2:51

made a loud statement. I quote, “You

2:54

cannot trust Putin. You cannot make a

2:56

deal with Putin.” It sounded

2:58

categorical. No alternatives. But

3:00

apparently someone hit him over the head

3:02

with a golf club. Now that same Finnish

3:05

leader is urging Europeans to prepare

3:07

for peace on unfair terms. Word for

3:10

word, all the conditions for a fair

3:12

peace that we talked about over these

3:13

four years most likely will not be met.

3:16

At the same time, Finland’s Prime

3:17

Minister Orpo said they refused to

3:20

provide security guarantees. I quote,

3:22

“Security guarantees are a very serious

3:24

thing. We are not ready to give

3:26

guarantees, but we can help organize

3:29

security.”

3:30

Feel the difference.

3:33

You and I might not, but the Fins insist

3:35

the difference is huge. Czech defects.

3:38

Now attention Czechia not long ago they

3:42

were ready to give up all their weapons

3:44

down to the last nail but suddenly they

3:47

halted the transfer of T72M

3:50

4C tanks and the reason? Critical defects

3:53

in the fire control system according to

3:55

the local ministry of defense. Some

3:57

electronic component is glitching, and

4:00

the problem is technically unsolvable.

4:03

If they had noticed this before, those tanks would

4:05

have been gutted and refitted in a week.

4:07

Now, oops, an unsolvable problem. They

4:10

really wanted to help, but those pesky

4:12

electrons let them down. What a pity,

4:14

…

MY COMMENTS:

Ever since at least the year 2000, the U.S. Government’s position has been that in order to further grow America’s empire (NATO, etc.), we’ve got to treat even our allies as being “dispensable” — that’s the term Obama applied as pertaining to every country except America, saying “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation.” And he amplified on this by identifying both Russia and China as America’s ultimate targeted new colonies to acquire; so, for example, Trump’s now demanding Greenland as a military post against Russia makes sense, in this perspective. But Trump is nothing new, except that he is more blatant about the U.S. Government’s psychopathy. And this is the reason why it’s increasingly being noticed, even by America’s ‘allies’ (the existing U.S. colonies). They’re all expendable, and now they are coming — at long last — to know it.

On 10 March 2025, SIPRI headlined “Ukraine the world’s biggest arms importer; United States’ dominance of global arms exports grows as Russian exports continue to fall”, and opened

Ukraine became the world’s largest importer of major arms in the period 2020–24, with its imports increasing nearly 100 times over compared with 2015–19. European arms imports overall grew by 155 per cent between the same periods, as states responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and uncertainty over the future of US foreign policy. The United States further increased its share of global arms exports to 43 per cent, while Russia’s exports fell by 64 per cent, according to new data on international arms transfers published today by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), available at www.sipri.org.

Whereas Russia’s armaments-producers are majority-owned by the Russian Government and so protecting Russians is their sole mandate, America’s are entirely privately owned, for-profit; and, so, wars are terrific for the billionaires who control the U.S. armaments-manufacturers. Thus, when Obama grabbed Ukraine in 2014 and turned that anti-NATO country pro-NATO and anti-Russian, it has since boosted enormously the net worths of America’s billionaires and produced huge stock-market gains.

The U.S.-empire voice SIPRI (funded by U.S.-and-allied Governments and their private billionaire-controlled foundations) blamed Russia:

‘The new arms transfers figures clearly reflect the rearmament taking place among states in Europe in response to the threat from Russia,’ said Mathew George, Programme Director with the SIPRI Arms Transfers Programme.

Russia in 2022 responded to the threat from America, but SIPRI’s angle on this was that European countries were responding to the threat from Russia. That’s pure U.S. anti-Russian propaganda.

The actual situation is instead that America’s message to all nations is “Arm up, or we’ll invade you.” Since around 43% of those arms will be coming from the U.S., that message is an extremely effective marketing theme for the products from America’s billionaires.

And anyone who doubts that the U.S. Government is so psychopathic should read the January 8th New York Times article, headlined “Ukraine Awards Major Lithium Project to Investors With Links to Trump: Ronald S. Lauder, a billionaire friend of Mr. Trump, is among the investors. The move comes as the Trump administration looks to profit from investment opportunities in Ukraine.” America’s billionaires have no compunctions about robbing Ukrainians — stealing their land’s resources — in order to further-enrich themselves. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson says that he sees every indication that Trump will do everything possible to further expand the U.S. empire, even going directly to war against Russia if everything short of that has already failed.

Yesterday, I headlined “Trump threatens NATO; Putin doesn’t.” Apparently, more and more people are coming to recognize that this is so. If so, then maybe Obama’s brilliant ploy for U.S. billionaires will soon be heading down.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
