A must read, the other side.
RUSSIA READY TO NEUTRALIZE U.S. ECONOMY
by J. R. Nyquist
It seems that Russia has paved the way for American economic collapse. “The move off the dollar is ominous for the U.S.,” says Stroupe, who claims that Russia and China are secretly getting out of the dollar. “Russia’s economy is already virtually independent of that of the U.S. and therefore already enjoys a high degree of immunity to a U.S. economic collapse.”
Over 20 years ago a KGB defector named Anatoliy Golitsyn warned that the Soviet Union was planning to fake its own demise in order to reposition itself to renew the Cold War on more advantageous terms. There is a passage in Golitsyn’s book, New Lies for Old, which resonates with Stroupe’s thesis. According to Golitsyn, “An alignment of [a revived] Soviet Union and Eastern Europe with a socialist Western Europe would exert a powerful influence over Third World socialist parties and trade unions. Some of the remaining conservative Third World countries would be strongly drawn toward a socialist orientation. Resistance to [Russia and China] … would be replaced by a combined … drive for Third World influence, backed by economic aid. It would have far-reaching consequences, especially if the U.S. aid should be curtailed in response to a severe economic depression. Soviet oil and grain could be used to good effect.”
