Pax Americana for Ukraine ?
I have, therefore, chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived. And that is the most important topic on earth: peace.What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek ?Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children
–not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time.
This is just a little excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s American University Commencement Address, delivered 10 June 1963. These are words from the past of the USA, from a time when the USA were respected and admired in Europe, a time long gone and not to return. Today the message is different, today it’s no longer JFK speaking, it’s Dick Cheney. What he has to say is nothing to my liking.
Is Cheney Trying To Break Up Ukraine ? Nicholas of the “Kiev Ukraine News Blog” quotes the “Executive Intelligence Review”. It’s worth reading.
What are Cheney’s plans ? Divide and rule ? If “we” can’t get Ukraine in one bite, let’s split her up ? Is he suggesting to break up Ukraine into three pieces, the “orange” West, the “blue” East and an autonomous “Crimean Republic” ?
The Western Ukraine, Yushchenko’s stronghold, is maybe easier to “transform” into the state Bush and Cheney want to see entire Ukraine to be. Yanukovych may keep the rural East and rule a midget state of his own ? And Yulia Tymoshenko may have the “Crimean Republic” ? A “Pax American” after all ?
