This collection of Paul Craig Roberts essays 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 "colour 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 the world at
large. This book is a call to awareness that ignorance and
propaganda are leading the world toward unspeakable disaster.
