I decided to look up what Rice and Gates had to say about this meeting in their memoirs.From Condi: "[Bush and Putin] then turned to missile defense, agreeing to find a way to cooperate. I believe now that there was some miscommunication between them, but I didn't catch it at the time. The President was trying to t make clear that he wouldn't reverse the decision to place sites in Poland and the Czech Republic. Putin was offering alternate sites. Yet we were encouraged by Putin's reference during the press conference that afternoon to missile defense as an area of 'strategic partnership" and his proposal that we continue the conversation in the forum of the NATO Russia Council. The President and Putin agreed to have Bob Gates and me follow up with a visit to Moscow."And from Gates:"We offered a new proposal for joint cooperation, in developing a missile defense architecture that would defend Europe, the Us, and Russia, accepted Putin's offer for radar information sharing with a view towards creating an integrated command and control of US and Russian missile defense. proposed transparency measures including personnel exchnages that would allow the Russians to monitor our system, and for us to particpiate in their system. [...]and a commitment to make our system operational only when warranted by the evolving threat.Putin seemed genuinely interested in these ideas and admitted that we had made some interesting proposals.[...]But The Russians felt that the written version of what Condi and I had offered at the Putin's dacha,"diluted" what we had said. The only change made in the written version was to note that the presence of Russian officers at our sites in Poland and the Czech Republic would, of course, requite the consent of those governments."So once again the critical issue seemed to be "Does central eastern europe deserve sovereignty?"
The American Origins of Putins Madness Sarcasmitron 2023-11-01 | It's finally here! Having exhausted all rationalist economic and geopolitical explanations for the war in Ukraine. We dive into the maelstrom of self-exculpation, paranoia, and historical revisionism that has characterized not just modern Russia, but the world in general this past decade, to try and find out if perhaps the lies we tell about the past have a stronger influence on our future than we'd like to think.Follow Me on Twitter @: twitter.com/afran90Follow Me on better Twitter @: https://bsky.app/profile/sarcasmitron.bsky.socialPatronize Me @: patreon.com/user?u=2646842Footnotes: docs.google.com/document/d/1SOWin3X8GSq3aTLj7QBf1eT6xQ2lOkUDQS2TjHCQsw8/edit?usp=sharing

By annexing Crimea, Russia only stole about 60-70 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Which could only be tapped (expensively) at a rate of about 1 trillion cf a year, max. This is enough to damage Ukraine's economy but not enough to change the picture as far as energy strategy in Europe. Norway alone exports 4 trillion cf of natural gas a year.1. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/661812. Iraq, of course, is the canonical example of America being unable to get the rest of NATO to join in on a military adventure. People with a more conspiratorial view of NATO sometimes point to the use of NATO infrastructure for the interventions in Kosovo and Libya, but in both these cases this was the result of a compromise in a situation in which Europe wanted the war more than the US, but didn't have the means to fight it on it's own. (The Libyan war was an initiative of Nicholas Sarkozy, and Clinton had promised not to send ground troops to Yugoslavia due to the wars unpopularity, and so making it a "NATO" mission allowed 3. youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4youtube.com/watch?v=8X7Ng75e5gQyoutube.com/watch?v=-pUj3Vqptx84. The evidence that America pressured Russia into doing Shock Therapy is surprisingly thin, given it's a common assumption. I read the 4 most popular English language accounts of Russia in the 90s that make this claim and all of them basically either rely on fraudulent sources or none at all.The 1998 Nation magazine article "The Harvard Boys Do Russia" by Janine Wedel which is often presented as evidence, is mostly based on a fictional book called "How America Created the New Oligarchy" by a woman named Anne Williamson, who seems to have tried to make a career of shopping around a manuscript to different writers telling them that it was for a book that was just about to be published, but never was. "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein alleges that Bush pressured Gorbachev to do shock therapy by threatening to withhold aid unless Gorbachev gave up on gradual reform at the 1991 G7 meeting, however this contradicts both the declassified transcript of the conversation, and the description of the event in Gorbachev's memoirs. "Globalization and It's Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz mostly covers Stiglitz tenure at the World Bank and the CEA, which mostly took place after Yeltsin had given up on Shock Therapy in 1994, but he blames Larry Summers for not making more aid dependent on legal reform rather than making it dependent on more privatization. As I'll describe later, the decision to give Russia lots of aid in 1996 was a political decision and didn't hinge on either privatization or rule of law.5. In the English transcript, it's explicitly stated that this was a hypothetical deal that could be made at the coming German reunification negotiations. When those negotiations actually came and the white house had revoked the offer, Gorbachev didn't have the leverage to prevent German reunification, and so had to settle for an agreement that no NATO infrastructure would be deployed on East German soil (and aid money).https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/16116-document-05-memorandum-conversation-betweenSarotte, M. E. "Not One Inch: America, Russia, and The Making of the Post-Cold War Stalemate" Ch. 36. To make a long story short, James Baker's offer was a hypothetical of what could be agreed to at a six party negotiation on the terms by which East and West Germany would be reunified. During that conference, America was able to negotiate the Soviets down to a ban on deployments of non-German NATO troops to East Germany. But, the Germans, desperate to get the deal done, decided to grease the skids by telling the Russians there would be no expansion, behind the American delegation's back. Sarotte, M. E.

The Alt Right At War Sarcasmitron 2018-05-24 | The age of European nationalism gave us the 1848 revolutions, The Crimean War, The Scramble for Africa, The Franco-Prussian Wars, the Schleswig-Holstein wars, The Great Northern War, The Russo-Japanese War, the Spanish-American War, the colonization of India, The two World Wars and of course, the Holocaust.

The Fabulous Imagination of Stefan Molyneux Sarcasmitron 2018-02-25 | Stefan Molyneux ended up being a significantly nuttier than I thought he would. This video went through like 3 iterations and was originially like an hour long, there was a lot I ended up cutting out that I wish I could keep in. Mainly more detailed debunking of the big "Muslim's are pure evil" narrative. So anyway here are some sources that will disabuse of these notions. I have deliberately selected sources that cannot safely be accused of being Post-Modernist anti-White cultural Marxists. Oh who am I kidding, they'll accuse anyone of being anti-White.Thorough debunking of the Irish slaves myth, by Irish historian Liam Hogue.medium.com/@Limerick1914/how-the-african-victims-of-the-zong-massacre-were-replaced-with-irish-slaves-2574dac1fc55(Note this is part 2 of a six part series)Books on Slavery:River of Dark Dreams: Slavery and Empire in the Cotton Kingdom by Walter JohnsonThe Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward BaptistIslam's Black Slaves by Ronald Segal is the listed source for Peter Hammond's (and by extension Stefan's) facts and figures about the Trans-Saharan/Swahili Coast slave trades, it tells a completely different story from that of Hammond and Molyneux. (Hilariously on the Amazon page for this book there is a one star review from a guy who's pissed that the book wasn't as Islamophobic as promised by Hammond's lies about it.)Books consulted for Crusades history:Western Europe in the Middle Ages: A Short History by Joseph StrayerThe History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward GibbonThe Middle East: A Brief History of the Last 2,000 Years by Bernard LewisAlso if the sentence "The Colonialism that occured under Christianity had a benevolence that's hard to imagine," doesn't make you want to vomit, may I recommend King Leopold's Ghost by Adam HochschildThere will be people who say Adorno's writings on music were more nuanced than I'm making them out to be.
