Superb book. We need to pay attention to Ms Johnstone's work because, given Clinton is likely to be elected President, the people of the U.S. MUST stand against her war-mongering imperialism or we may see a conflagration we cannot survive. First, military spending and these wars of imperial aggression are destroying this nation's economy. Unless the U.S. ends its quest for world empire and relinquishes its empire, the U.S. economy will implode. It is important to remember the vast majority of empires are not destroyed by another empire, but destroy themselves. Rome is an excellent example, but there are numerous other examples. Second, while Putin is a thug, he really does not want confrontation with the U.S. However, the incessant expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe poses a far greater threat to Russia than a few Soviet missiles in Cuba in the early 1960's. Given how we reacted to those missiles, we should be able to understand Russia's reaction to bringing former Soviet satellite states and former Soviet Republics into NATO. That would be like the Soviet Union bringing Canada and Mexico into the Warsaw Pact. To make all of this and all of what is happening in the Middle East MUCH more dangerous, bringing Ukraine into NATO poses a tremendous threat to Russian national security. There is no question Clinton will push hard to cajole or coerce Ukraine into NATO. Clinton makes an issue, with some degree of legitimacy, about Russia reclaiming Crimea (it had been a part of Russia until Nikita Khrushchev ceded it to Ukraine in 1956. When it appeared Ukraine was moving to join NATO, Putin reclaimed it for Russia. The vast majority of people in the U.S. do not know the Crimean ports are the only warm water ports (that do not freeze in winter) Russia has. If Crimea continued to be part of Ukraine and Ukraine joined NATO, the Russian Navy would be forced out of its only warm water port. Anyone looking at this should understand this would pose a tremendous and unacceptable threat to Russian security. It would be as though, if Puerto Rico were the only warm water port the U.S. had, and it joined the Warsaw Pact, leaving the U.S. without any warm water port for its Navy.
Clinton's visceral hatred of Russia and her war-mongering imperialism, unless stopped by the massive resistance of U.S. citizens, is likely to produce a confrontation with Russia in which neither nation backs down. Johnstone's book is an extremely important examination of Clinton actions as Secretary of State, of the foreign policies she advocates, of her unquenchable war-mongering. It gives us a strong warning, assuming Clinton is elected President, we, the people, must stand united together against her aggressive, war-mongering, imperialistic foreign policies. Otherwise, she will place us in GREAT peril.
