The Neoconservative Threat to World Order: Washington's Perilous War for Hegemony

Paul Craig Roberts, "The Neoconservative Threat to World Order: Washington's Perilous War for Hegemony"
ISBN: 0986076996 | 2015 | EPUB | 308 pages | 483 KB

This stellar collection of Paul Craig Roberts essays dating from 2013 explores the extreme dangers in Washington's imposition of vassalage on other countries and Washington s resurrection of distrust among nuclear powers, the very distrust that Reagan and Gorbachev worked to eliminate. Roberts explains how the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 removed the only check on Washington's ability to act unilaterally.

The United States position as the sole remaining superpower led to the euphoric proclamation of the end of history and to Washington s presumption of the victory of American democratic-capitalism over all other systems. The neoconservatives became entrenched in successive American administrations, both Republican and Democratic. Their ideology of US global hegemony the doctrine that no other power will be allowed to arise that could constrain US unilateral action has become a foundational premise of US foreign policy and has led to reckless intervention in Ukraine and an irresponsible assault on Russian national interest. In pursuit of hegemony, Washington has expanded NATO to Russia s border, instigated color revolutions in former constituent parts of the Soviet Union, announced a pivot to Asia to encircle China, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine, demonized Putin, and imposed warlike sanctions against Russia. These reckless and irresponsible actions have brought back the risk of nuclear war.

This succession of events has impelled Roberts following an illustrious career in government, journalism and academia to perform the clarifying function abandoned by the mainstream media of examining the agendas at work and the risks entailed. His insightful commentary is followed all over the world. In February 2015, Roberts was invited to address a major International conference in Moscow hosted by Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where he delivered the address which is the title of this book. In Roberts assessment, Washington's drive for hegemony is not only unnecessary but unrealistic and filled with peril for Americans and the world at large. This book is a call to awareness that ignorance and propaganda are leading the world toward unspeakable disaster."
