US’ maneuvers around Venezuela are a new pattern in US foreign policy, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and philosopher Sergey Kurginyan said on October 17 on the Conversation with a Sage program on Radio Zvezda.
Kurginyan noted that sending warships to fight drug traffickers’ boats looks like using nuclear weapons instead of a fly-swatter to kill flies. The actions in the Caribbean Sea are apparently a new pattern in Washington’s foreign policy.
“Attempting to use all means to combat this Bolivarian or another power, i.e. reproducing the worst forms of colonialism, isn’t this a new pattern? Okay, the well overlooked old Monroe Doctrine,” the political scientist stressed.
The Monroe Doctrine was introduced by US president James Monroe in 1823. It declared new principles of US foreign policy claiming that the American continent must be closed for any interference by the European powers.
The political scientist pointed out a substantial novelty of the current era. He noted that the US has gathered destroyers, a submarine, and a cruiser to protect the Iwo Jima helicopter carrier that is vulnerable to serious weapons. “It would take a boat with one missile to sink it. This is why they use submarines, destroyers etc. to protect it,” the explained.
“The Defense Secretary, looking with his slightly inflamed eyes at the contingent, shouts, ‘Our Navy!’ But the navy is gone, and the era of maritime domination is over,” Kurginyan stressed.
The philosopher indicated that hypersonic missiles and other weapons force the US to look for a different concept of war. The era of US domination over the seas is fading away.
“Of course, the center is moving from North America to what is usually called Eurasia, i.e. India, China, us, Iran, etc. And there is another kind of wars, to which and they have to get prepared somehow,” the political scientist stressed.
