“However, if it used to be geopolitical confrontation, in which there would be no final victory [like the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Russia’s War in Afghanistan, US War in Afghanistan, etc which is how Brzezinski saw them], then in the 21^st century – it is all about “the last battle”, which will be fought not for life, but for death and it will end history for one of the giants – either the West or Russia.  The interests of America in the near future: to preserve it’s [sic] key world supremacy and in the distant future – to transform it into a more legal, global partnership.  Using the more severe terminology of the old empires, the responsibility of a great empire is to prevent collusion between vassals, keeping them dependent on the public security, keeping the subservient loyal and too, keeping them secure and not letting the barbarians unite.”

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Brzezinski advised the John F. Kennedy campaign and Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey campaigns.  Brzezinski was National Security Advisor to President Carter.  He served on Reagan’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and co-chaired G.H.W. Bush’s National Security Advisory Task Force. He endorsed G.H.W. Bush for president, and later Obama for president.  Brzezinski co-founded The Trilateral Commission with banker David Rockefeller and served as its director.  He also was a member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Bilderberg Group.  Since it was formed, The Trilateral Commission has influenced every American presidential election and then had input on their cabinets, even though many or most members were hand-picked by Rockefeller or Brzezinski and were not American citizens.  Brzezinski, and presumably Rockefeller and the CFR, viewed “The War on Terror” and the several color revolutions including Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Ukraine, etc. as modern imperialism on a global chessboard, similar to the British Empire where the sun never sets, proxy wars and destabilization to maintain U.S. hegemony…our never ending military engagements and international bases.  Bodies, bombs and bases. In the mid-1850s the British Empire had a series of ongoing operations around the world, including the Crimean War of 1853, which was the UK, France and Turkey against Russia, and the Opium Wars in China.  Sound familiar?  For Brzezinski the prize was Eurasia, and the extension of the arc of crisis into Central Asia.  Piotr Pietrzak suggested “Although Zbigniew Brzezinski is dead, his work is very much alive; the Biden administration follows Brzezinski’s geostrategic blueprint, which supports Ukraine militarily, logistically, diplomatically, and politically.” 

“This is a repeat of the Great Game,” said Brzezinski.  He was the foremost advocate for expansion of NATO to surround Russia, the NATO intervention in Libya (which was a disaster), and other hawkish interferences.   Unfortunately, the Machiavellian Brzezinski influenced every U.S. president in our lifetimes as well as their foreign policy and intelligence agencies, that is, every president except Donald Trump. Brzezinski was a harsh critique of President Trump. Trump kept the U.S. out of new wars, arguably prevented wars, and greatly reduced bodies, bombings and wants to reduce bases and bring the boys, girls and weapons home.

IMHO, Brzezinski’s grand strategy got us into these never ending wars and entanglements and we are still there today.  We and the world need a hard break from this Machiavellian madness.

“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world, “so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronising infidelity to existing engagements.” GEORGE WASHINGTON, FAREWELL ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1796
