“"For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” he [Biden] said, meaning Russia’s President Vladimir Putin….With the U.S.’s violent history of controlling leadership…[attempting to overthrow 57 countries in 65 years, 1949-2014]…reckless statements about regime change cannot go unanswered. They must be universally contested.”….”The self-appointed [US] hegemon…the bully [US] is the party that must be broken.” commenter

4/9/22, “Ukraine: The Broader Geopolitical Conflict,” Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
“On March 26, [2022] U.S. President Joe Biden defined some certainties from his perspective
at the Royal Castle in Warsaw,
“a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression,
between a rules-based order
and one governed by brute force.”
These binaries are wholly a fantasy of the White House, whose attitude towards
“rules-based order” is not rooted in the U.N. Charter
but in “rules” that the U.S. pronounces.
Biden’s antinomies culminated in one policy objective [and invoked the Almighty]:
For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” he said, meaning Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
The narrowness of Biden’s approach to the conflict in Ukraine has led to a public call for regime change in Russia,
a country of 146 million people….
With the U.S.’s violent history of controlling leadership in several countries,
cannot go unanswered.
They must be universally contested.”…

“The self-appointed [US] hegemon…the bully [US] is the party that must be broken.”
4/9/22, “Realist”
“The only final and practical solution is for Washington to stop trying to act as the imperial capital of the Planet Earth,
and more specifically
to cease and desist in its incessant efforts to intimidate, cow and functionally impair
Russia’s ability to operate as a normal peaceful state under the UN Charter
and sundry other treaties, accords and covenants useful to the maintenance of legal, financial, political, and commercial stability….
It is paramount that nuclear weapons must be rigorously controlled, notably by treaties such as the critical ones mentioned in the feature article (the ABM Treaty and the INF Treaty),
which Washington has pointedly decided
to unilaterally deep six in recent years
and has directly precipitated this crisis.
The more sweeping UN Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty…is another critical issue that must be settled, hopefully with the elimination of as many of those threats to our continued existence as possible.
No state should be the exception that can break the rules with just a wink and a nod.
It should not be a single country, like the United States,
to dictate and enforce such laws and treaties,
it should be a collective effort by the entire planet, or rather its collective forum and executive authority, i.e., the United Nations, that decides these things. Rather than one sole tyrannical society running the whole world
the whole rest of the world should have the right and obligation to command any single country, like
the United States
that would put all of our human species in jeopardy of extinction,
and the unilateral cancellation
of signed nuclear weapons treaties,
to comply with the judgement and the demands of the majority.
If the self-appointed hegemon [ie, US] refuses to comply, that government and its society should be the targets of
sanctions, property and monetary seizures
such as the United States has made its standard operating procedures (in other words everything that the US is doing to Russia at every conceivable level,
mostly without legal precedent and of dubious authority).
The bully [the US] is the party that must be broken
to bring peace and stability to this world,
not its victims each in turn, as the case has been.
That is your only solution that will ever work long term.
A “rules based order” is not one in which the wealthy and powerful make up the rules to suit themselves.
That is a tyranny, a dictatorship.
Sorry, but the United States cannot stand for “freedom and democracy”
(as it so arrogantly purports to do) under its present standard operating procedures.
Lord Biden
claims to defend democracy against autocracy.
Sorry, but autocracy is exactly what he and his government practices.
He goes so far as
to claim the power to decide the heads of state
of all other societies on this planet,
and to change them whenever it suits his purposes,
[“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said on 3/26/22 at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland]
or the purposes of the handful
oligarchs who pull his strings.”
