EMAIL: The concept of being anti-Russia is not from the people of the USA but of the wealthy elite globalists that have a long term goal of depopulation and to create a one world government.
Their stated goal in their think tank groups is to create a new world order where the ruling class are the mansion owners of a communist global plantation, with the masses as the peasants.
What is being forced on the west are the goals and the agenda of the globalists. The average western citizen doesn't want war with Russia. It is being forced on us by back-room manipulations over the press and the politicians. Unfortunately, Trump is going along with that program and fulfilling the globalists' agenda. GE

: Dmitry Trenin: World War III has already begun
: In the West’s eyes, Russia must be destroyed. That leaves us
: no choice.
: Dmitry Trenin

: By Dmitry Trenin, a research professor at the Higher School of
: Economics and a lead research fellow at the Institute of

: World Economy and International Relations. He is also a
: member of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC).

: Many now speak of humanity’s drift towards World War III,
: imagining events similar to those of the 20th century. But
: war evolves. It will not begin with a June 1941
: Barbarossa-style invasion or a Cuban Missile Crisis-style
: nuclear standoff. In fact, the new world war is already
: underway – it’s just that not everyone has recognized it
: yet.

: For Russia, the pre-war period ended in 2014. For China, it
: was 2017. For Iran, 2023. Since then, war – in its modern,
: diffuse form – has intensified. This is not a new Cold War.
: Since 2022, the West’s campaign against Russia has grown
: more decisive. The risk of direct nuclear confrontation
: with NATO over the Ukraine conflict is rising. Donald
: Trump’s return to the White House created a temporary
: window in which such a clash could be avoided, but by
: mid-2025, hawks in the US and Western Europe had pushed us
: dangerously close again.

: This war involves the world’s leading powers: the United
: States and its allies on one side, China and Russia on the
: other. It is global, not because of its scale, but because
: of the stakes: the future balance of power. The West sees
: the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia as
: existential threats. Its counteroffensive, economic and
: ideological, is meant to put a halt to that shift.

: It is a war of survival for the West, not just geopolitically
: but ideologically. Western globalism – whether economic,
: political, or cultural – cannot tolerate alternative
: civilizational models. Post-national elites in the US and
: Western Europe are committed to preserving their dominance.
: A diversity of worldviews, civilizational autonomy, and
: national sovereignty are seen not as options, but as
: threats.

: This explains the severity of the West’s response. When Joe
: Biden told Brazil’s President Lula that he wanted to
: “destroy” Russia, he revealed the truth behind euphemisms
: like “strategic defeat.” Western-backed Israel has shown
: how total this doctrine is – first in Gaza, then Lebanon,
: and finally Iran. In early June, a similar strategy was
: used in attacks on Russian airfields. Reports suggest US
: and British involvement in both cases. To Western planners,
: Russia, Iran, China and North Korea are part of a single
: axis. That belief shapes military planning.

: Compromise is no longer part of the game. What we’re seeing
: are not temporary crises but rolling conflicts. Eastern
: Europe and the Middle East are the two current flashpoints.
: A third has long been identified: East Asia, particularly
: Taiwan. Russia is directly engaged in Ukraine, holds stakes
: in the Middle East, and may become involved in the Pacific.

: The war is no longer about occupation, but destabilization.
: The new strategy focuses on sowing internal disorder:
: economic sabotage, social unrest, and psychological
: attrition. The West’s plan for Russia is not defeat on the
: battlefield, but gradual internal collapse.

: Its tactics are all-encompassing. Drone strikes target
: infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Political
: assassinations are no longer off-limits. Journalists,
: negotiators, scientists, and even their families are being
: hunted. Residential neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals
: are not collateral damage – they are targets. This is total
: war.

: This is underpinned by dehumanization. Russians are portrayed
: not just as enemies but as subhuman. Western societies are
: manipulated to accept this. Information control,
: censorship, and historical revisionism are used to justify
: the war. Those who question the dominant narrative are
: labelled traitors.

: Meanwhile, the West exploits the more open systems of its
: adversaries. After refusing to interfere in foreign
: politics for decades, Russia now finds itself on the
: defensive. But those days must end. As our enemies
: coordinate their attacks, we must disrupt their unity. The
: European Union is not a monolith. Hungary, Slovakia, and
: much of southern Europe are not eager for escalation. These
: internal fractures must be widened.

: Western strength lies in unity among its elites and their
: ideological control over their populations. But this unity
: is not invulnerable. The Trump administration presents
: tactical opportunities. His return has already reduced US
: involvement in Ukraine. Yet Trumpism should not be
: romanticized. The American elite remains largely hostile to
: Russia. There will be no new détente.

: The war in Ukraine is becoming a war between Western Europe
: and Russia. British and French missiles already strike
: Russian targets. NATO intelligence is embedded in Ukrainian
: operations. EU countries are training Ukrainian forces and
: planning attacks together. Ukraine is just a tool. Brussels
: is preparing for a wider war.

: What we must ask is: Is Western Europe preparing to defend or
: attack? Many of its leaders have lost their strategic
: judgment. But the hostility is real. The goal is no longer
: containment, but to “solve the Russian question” once and
: for all. Any illusion that business as usual will return
: must be discarded.

: We are in for a long war. It will not end like in 1945, nor
: settle into Cold War coexistence. The decades ahead will be
: turbulent. Russia must fight for its rightful place in a
: new world order.
